Higurashi Kai Broadcast Preempted

In the wake of an apparent case of patricide reported in Kyoto earlier this week, several Japanese television networks canceled their broadcasts of the violent final episode of the School Days anime television series. Now Japanese television networks Tokai TV and KBS Television have similarly canceled their planned broadcasts of this week’s episode of the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai television series, reportedly because the show’s emphasis on psychopathic teenage girls may be upsetting to some viewers in shock over the recent real-life crime.
