This month, a rebooted anime series adapting the original works of 07th Expansion’s renown series of sound novels Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Localised as Higurashi: When They Cry) will commence airing in Japan and through select video-on-demand streaming platforms. You will be able to watch this season through FunimationNow (North America) and AnimeLab (Australia and New Zealand).
