I have watched the entire collection of Higurashi titles, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. This original season, however, is my favorite. There are so many twists and turns. Very unpredictable, and I love that. It will definitely keep your attention.
The art is not perfect, but I believe that it fits well. I especially love the facial animations for when one of the cute characters is going on a murderous rampage.
I never imagined that this anime would become one of my top 5 favorites, I didn't expect that from a gory show. The story, along with the characters (and gore), made this to be a top notch anime.
If you want gore, an unpredictable plot, psychological stimulation, cute characters, psycho characters, and more gore, check this out.
