Simple enough question: I was wondering if I should watch the specials for this series or not, and if it's canon to the main series or not?

Thanks for answering!^^

do you mean this? if so then not exactly, its just one episode i believe and its not exactly integral but it gives a bit of background information about a few things

If you're talking about Higurashi Kai specials then no, those aren't canon. Those are basically one minut episode of some like funny moments if we can call it like that

@Swindler04 and @H4ze123 Thank you very much for answering! I'll check it out quickly next week when I go to watch episode 2 but I probably won't watch it if it's essentially the same as the next episode preview I saw in episode 1 today..

I have no idea what specials your talking about.The only one that comes to mind is the no ni rei specials.You can watch that one after you watch no ni kai tho.I cant say what the special is about cuz it kinda spoils no ni kai lol.

The first episode of Kai is basically a recap of the final arc of season 1 told from an adult Rena's perspective (kinda neat imo). After that is a mini arc that technically isn't canon, but it's not bad either. The rest of the show (I think around episode 7 onward) covers the 7th and 8th arcs of the visual novel. I know that the plot structure can be super confusing if you're not familiar with it, but the series is definitely one of my favorites.

@Dr_Stoned Ah, same here, and yes, it's confusing, but I can't stop myself from liking it, even if tbh I actually kinda hated it up to episode 10 of the OG series then after episode 11 aired, my eyes were opened and I REALLY enjoyed everything afterwards, despite some scenes being gross, lol~!^^'>3

@Mugen-kairo No, I was asking about the side story entry under relations, the one that says specials in the word. I do know that there is an OVA sequel called Rei after this and then two specials episode that are more comedy before getting into Gou and then Sotsu but I was only asking about the specials for Kai.

BTW you double posted, so don't know if you wanna fix that or not but I can't remove the second post myself so please do what you like with it, thanks..
