I didn't know being french made me so lucky as a higu fan, those english releases sound really... Weird to say the least! Do you know how well Le Sanglot Des Cigales' translation is compared to the MangaGamer releases ? It was done a very long time ago and by Pierre Bancov alone so I'd assume it would be less good than a whole company localizing something but who knows... At least we've had all the minigames and stuff (no Music Room/Staff Room is really missing on something)

And how is Higurashi Rei's MangaGamer translation ? That one is "new" and didn't release long ago so maybe it's gotten better than the rest ? I think the only thing we had for a long while for Rei was a sloppy fantranslation
