Just finished watching all 26 episodes in one sitting a few hours ago.
Gonna have to say, big thumbs up, akimbo even. I recommend it highly. Even if your a bit squimish (it's got alot of gore and stuff), which I am when it comes to some animated violence (mostly the audio is the most disguisting, which Higurashi has a good quality of in terms of sound), it's still enjoyable.
Not gonna summerize the plot but as to what it is, is a psychological horror series based around one common thing. A series of gruesome murders that happen in this tiny country side town every year during the town's only festival.
Main character moves in from outside of town and quickly makes friends with the kids in his class that are about his age. I'll leave you to figure out the rest.
What one of my favorite aspects of this series (only watched the animated so far, gonna get the games), is how the 'curse' that happens in all the story arcs are all looked at from a different perspective and how it warps that person's view of reality.
The first few episodes (first arc) are my favorite, mostly due to the maximum amounts of mindfucking that happens.
I can safely say that I didn't feel super attached to ALL the characters, but they where all pretty genuine, and when shit happend you generally felt accordingly.
Oh, and one of the thigns I love about the animating style is the over-exaggerated eye expressions.

Higurashi Nail Scene English (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-DwkCT6Iug#normal)
These scenes don't spoil too much, seeing as how every one dies more then once.
If I had more time, i'de re-watch this all again in one sitting, it was that good of an experience for myself.
*bamp*
Seeing as how no one knows how to check sub-forums, blocking the most recent post with this thread.
Also, DLing the second season was we speak which is 24 episodes.
Thar also be 4 games.
Nice.
If i got time i might be watchin it

I can live stream it in maximum quality if you want.
God I love this shit, so much.
Just finished the second season a few days ago, I NEED MORE.
If I end up not getting more (OVA, Games, Etc) i'll probably end up re-watching it all anyways so, Least I could do is stream it for you.
I found the manga to be far more entertaining, actually. Then again, I was reading it at around 2 AM with all the lights out.
cringed a bit.

I havn't found the manga around here sadly :(.
Also, it's really grimey and dark, but then super cheery, it's a wonderful mix of highs and ultra-lows.I loves it. It's not all about loltorture or anything, shit happens though.
I'll post some CUTESY stuff to coutner act the really grim parts I posted. Just figured people would want to see extremes. Whatev.
Well, you can find them pretty easy at One Manga or whatever. Just gotta look for Onikakushi for the first arc.
I Kind of laughed when she killed herself with the kitchen knife, i mean really how many times can you impale yourself like that :\
No, im not psycho, i just thought that was funny. Theres a diffrence.

Funny enough, I went to the book store a few days later and they had Abducted by Demons 2 and Cotton Drifting Festival 2 arcs in das manga.
Bought the shit ouf of them.
I go to read Abducted by the Demons 2, and it takes me about 2 minutes to figure out how to read it.
I open it up like a manga, and i'm seeing the last page, so I partially raged there, but then I turned it around and noticed that ti was upside down.
So I have to flip the book upside down to read it.
This was a comedy wasnt it

It's very light hearted/comedic and quickly turns into seereeuhs plot shits.
Found the manga by accident and only realized that I was reading this today.

It likes to really get in your head and make you think of what's going on. It'll all be explained later but for now think of the most creative ideas as to what ould be happening.
My thought was that he killed some one else and the body got dug up.
THEY REMOVED ALMOST ALL THE ARCS FROM ONEMANGA WHAT THE SHIT.

Watch it on Youtube
Well yeah, but I prefer reading the actual book, for some reason I find it a lot more atmospheric, cause I can read it in my room, in the middle of the night, with only a little light. Loads more intense that way.

I KNOW! I got pretty pissed off when that happened. I love reading the manga instead of watching the anime... Well there is always the dreaded piratebay to get my Higurashi fix, I was almost done too...
I was just about to finish Minagoroshi... ;_; apparently the newest translation wasn't released anyway.
Darkhorse got Gantz removed too.
Nvm, thinking of Gunsmith Cats, my copies of the Higurashi mango are from Yen Press

Finished the series from a PB torrent, it was amazing !

I'm enjoying the manga alot more. Sure the anime was amazing but even in like, the Time Killing Arc, which I hated in the manga, it almost made me cry at the bus stop reading the end part.
Manga get's the emotion down alot better, because it portreys people alot more viciously.
Like, the kidnappers who kidnapped the kid. In the anime they're just doing it because they where told too and don't like it. In the Manga however,it starts off with a shot of the kid being woken up by a sword being slammed into the floor next to his head. He promtply pissed himself and they talkeda bout how tortering him would pass the time quicker.
Also, it was just better over all minus action scenes (if you watching it for action scenes, your doing it wrong).
Highly recommend the Manga even if you've watched it.
Er... i think i found this by mistake.. i typed in weird anime laughs.. and yeah... Ill probably get onto this once im done with k-on.

It's slow paced because it's worth it to be slow paced
Once you watch later archs you'll see what i'm talkin aboot.

It's cause of the plot. It's all relevent, you just need to watch all of it to get it.
First arc is my fav though.
Gotta say, Higurashi was the best thing I have ever seen. The manga, best thing I ever read.
So uh, anyone watched the new OVA that was released a few weeks ago?
Seriously, someone should get executed for turning higurashi into.. that.
I normally have a high tolerance for fanservice but I had to say Rika's rubbing of her ass on a window making ecchi noises really got to me, she's what - nine?
Uhg, don't necro threads -_-
You'll survive.
