Higurashi When They Cry: Abducted by Demons Arc
Krystopher said: The first and second arc are completely separate from each other, so I guess you can do that. But you royally fucked yourself over by skipping over a lot of exposition about Hinamizawa that was introduced in the first arc. You should go back and watch it.drahan said: Watch the whole thing i only skipped one episode and that episode was where it answerd some questions yoyr going to have Should I finish this arc first or go straight to the beginning and watch the 1st arc then come back to this arc? The series is designed so that you question the content and mystery at the end of each arc, and have your ideas disproved or completely scrapped in the following arcs while raising new questions. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
Krystopher said: No, you won't. It's just better to watch the first arc because it introduces the cast, their roles, the curse and generally the elementary information that is needed to know about the setting. As long as you watch the first three arcs before you get to the Eye Opening Arc (5th arc in the sound novel and 4th arc in the anime), you should be fine, since the Eye Opening Arc starts answering the questions that were left in a previous arc and starts to unravel the mystery.Holybaptiser said: The first and second arc are completely separate from each other, so I guess you can do that.

So if you go 2nd arc-1st arc-3rd arc will you be completely lost |

| Why did you watch the show in the wrong order? Never watch anything in the wrong order. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Why the fuck would you skip an episode of a show?! The episodes are needed for the introducing of characters and story building. |
 |
| Also the first 4 episodes are like some of the best. |

| For the first season, I don't think it matters all that much which arc you watch first: the true first one, or the second. But go back and watch it. It's pretty good! It'll confuse you, but in a good way. From then on though, watch in chronological order. |
  |
| whatever u do, don't watch any of the spinoffs |
 |
| You should watch everything i think its connected and will be explained in the second season |
 |
| The first 4 episodes are my favorites from the show. I think the atmosphere in the first arc is likely the best of the entire show. |
