The Endless Eight episodes will definitely bring back memories if you watch this excellent horror anime.
Higurashi has an eternal June, while the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya had an eternal August.
Both are solved by the most simplest/unlikely of solutions.
As well, everyone will definitely enjoy how the end results of Higurashi actually DOES change (unlike in Endless Eight, where Yuki Nagato states how some things were omitted, but those changes where never actually animated).

The "Infinite Eight" plot of Season 2 of Melancholy will give you a whole new appreciation for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (and vice-versa). That I can guarantee.

Most of Haruhi season 2 contained a Time Loop arc (Endless Eight), similar to Higurashi's Endless June (which I have dubbed Endless Six), however, Haruhi's was much more repetitive and annoying.
However, keep in mind that Higurashi contains copious amounts of High Octane Nightmare Fuel, which is not present in Haruhi. At all.

Both have time repeating as a central plot.

Higurashi is more or less Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya spiked with a dark creepy and often times horrifying twist....the way Higurashi's like the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is that the series features a comedic group of youths who are in a club lead by a wild strong willed girl and they set out to do a whole lotta random goofy shit during the fun slice of life moments..Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is basically just Higurashi without the creepy horror stuff..so if you only like higurashi for the funny silly moments and school club activity themes check out Melancholy of

Both series are are a mix of supernatural and mystery and they also have a particular focus around time loops with each event being slightly different than the last one that was shown and trying figure out why such a thing is happening.
