The official Japanese blog for the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (also known as When They Cry) anime has posted an announcement confirming a third season has been cleared for production in 2008. No additional details are given, such as the confirmation of on-air screening in Japan; the final episodes of the second season were canceled or preempted on many networks due to similar real-life attacks.
