The real reason why Phase 2 isn't coming out is that the brother can't keep up with his own lore and wrote himself into a corner, isn't it?

>The biggest reason why I decided to revisit the June of Showa year 58 (1983 in the Gregorian calendar) is because of something that was in many of the fan messages I've received: “I want to erase my memory so that I can experience that shock for the first time all over again.”

>It's been around 20 years since Higurashi was first announced, and in that time I've been constantly hearing that opinion from a lot of fans. So for a long time, I've thought that if I were ever given the chance to give back to those fans one day, then I would like to grant their wish. When the opportunity to make an anime came upon me, I thought about taking all the previously established rules of Higurashiand making an entirely different “New Higurashi.”

>To me, it's been an utter delight to create—because using my work to take all the readers by surprise and shatter their expectations is my greatest idea of fun.

>Make people think it's a reboot and then surprise them by revealing that it's an entirely new anime. Make the story superficially resemble the old one while something completely different goes on behind the scenes. I think I was able to enjoy the experience that the fans have talked about of “erasing” their memory to experience Higurashi for the first time again.

You got the future you wished for.
