Higurashi, Umineko, Ōkamikakushi games were adapted into anime series

Anime Central announced on Thursday that it will host game creator Ryukishi07 at the May 15-17 convention in Illinois. Ryukishi07 will attend with two other members of the Seventh Expansion doujin circle.

Ryukishi07 is the scenario writer for the doujin circle's Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and Rose Gun Days games. He previously worked with Peach-Pit and Konami to create Ōkamikakushi mystery adventure novel.

The Higurashi no Naku Koro ni horror games inspired two television anime series, multiple original video anime, a live-action film, and manga series. Umineko no Naku Koro ni and Ōkamikakushi were also adapted into anime series. Yen Press releases many of the manga adaptations in North America and MangaGamer released the original Higurashi games in English.

Anime Central will also host the four-member girl band SCANDAL as part of their world tour. The band will perform on May 15 at the Rosemont Theatre.

Anime Central will be held on May 15-17 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
