they better explain what the hell happened and the holes they left in season 2, i'm anxious about this. the story is well developed so far and its one of my favorites.

dcudney:
Get this, its suppost to be after the events of the first two!?

Who knows what kind of trouble they'll get into now that all that other stuffs happened!

Although I love higurashi series, I'm not expecting much out of the OVA being only 5 episodes, but I sure hope I am wrong.

a simple google + wiki = explanation of what the rei chapters are

I didn't actually read any of it just copy and paste, to avoid spoiling it for myself, read if you wish to find out the rei arcs
(click to show/hide)Extra arcs

Three extra chapters were included in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (ひぐらしのなく頃に礼 ,When Cicadas Cry Gratitudes?), two of which were newly created. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei was released on December 31, 2006.

Saikoroshi-hen (賽殺し編 ,Dice Killing Chapter?)
    Saikoroshi-hen is an epilogue of Matsuribayashi-hen which takes place two months after the events of it in August 1983. Rika is run over by a truck and wakes up in a totally different world, where none of the tragic events of the main series ever happened: Keiichi is not in Hinamizawa, Rena's parents did not divorce, the dam project was resolved smoothly, and neither Satoko nor Rika's parents died. However the club never formed, meaning Rika has no friends, Hanyū is absent, Rika isn't revered as the reincarnation of Oyashiro and the village will soon sink underwater. Rika has to choose between staying in that world or committing a certain grave sin that will enable her to leave that sinless world.

Batsukoishi-hen (罰恋し編 ,Penalty Loving Chapter?)
    A slapstick dream story in which Keiichi and the Soul Brothers fight against the girls by means of the club punishment games. This chapter was originally an epilogue titled Otsukaresama-kai which came with Meakashi-hen, but it was deemed too irrelevant and silly and was removed from subsequent chapters.[citation needed]

Hirukowashi-hen (昼壊し編 ,Daybreak Chapter?)
    Hirukowashi-hen is based on Higurashi Daybreak. The main characters are Keiichi Maebara and Rika Furude, and this story is set in a parallel world. One day, Rena accidentally swallows something in her mouth during her usual treasure hunting. According to Rika, the seal of the sacred "Fuwarazu Magatama" pairs were broken and Rena must have accidentally swallowed one of them. The magatama holds mysterious magical powers in which a person that has the red magatama will blindly fall in love with anyone with the white magatama.

In the first season, not a whole lot was explained, however ... you can never deny the scary events that occured. Who wouldn't? I totally loved them all!

In the second season, specifically in the first episode and last episode (and other episodes which I can't recall) they switch to their mature age (forgot the characters names) and they babble about things, discussing the past and in some point the future. So that is my thing, my point. That's confusing, that doesn't fall in place and there is something missing. So I am hoping Season 3 would cover these things, and show us more violence and blood!
