I skipped the first 4 episodes of Higurashi and the spoiler at the beginning of episode 5 because I'm watching it with my dad and I figured it would be more interesting for him if it suddenly went from cute to crazy, I thought the first arc would ruin that. Well this arc ended more suddenly then I predicted but he's really into the show now and thinks it's awesome. So I watched the first episode of the next arc already but since he likes it so much I kinda want to watch the entire thing but I already skipped the first part.

So I can either finish the arc we just started (the 3rd one) and then go back to the first arc, or I can simply continue forward and never go back to the first arc, or I could go to the first arc right away even though we are 1 episode in to the 3rd arc.

My main goal is to have the show be as creepy and scary as possible I don't want to over expose the craziness, which is a reason I skipped he first arc, but do you think it's nessesary for the rest of the show? Is it really good and creepy and I shouldn't miss it? Or is it fine if I skip it?

From what I remember, the first arc is just like any other other arc -- where most of the events that occur in it don't really matter for the rest of the show since every new arc doesn't connect to the last. The first arc mainly introduced the characters and set the tone for the show, so if you already have those two things down then I wouldn't really say it's necessary to watch it, but if you really like the show then watching it will do no harm either.
