First, after One Piece this is my favorite anime, this why i use the name of "Rena" in all my nicknames.
First the story at first maybe are confused, this anime reset the story and creates other stories and some episodies of the first season answer some questions but open other questions, but it it's the spectacular of this series, in the season 2 answer so much questions of the first season and the bonds of all characters are so spectacular, i love it, and well Higurashi Rei and Kira, are a very nice seasons with nice comedy and Kira have a very nice animation(Rena looks so pretty in Kira <3 ).
And well this anime have suspense, comedy, gore(i don't really like the gore but it have a lot the first season), it's so entertainent, i needed to see all seasons somes 6 times for understands for completely the series of anime and view that 6 times was so enjoyable.
The animation in this anime not are good at all, but the story are so good what with the time that animation doesn't matter much because the story are so good. in Higurashi Rei and Kira are so spectacular the animation, more in Kira.
The sound, the VA are awesome, Nakahara Mai, Horie Yui, Yukari Tamura, Kanai Mika,Itou Miki and Tachiki Fumihiko do a very nice work in the VA with her characters.
The soundtrack are so good, i love them especially the openings and endings and the iconic song of -Dear you- with all versiones of cry, kind, hope, bond, are so amazing i love them.
The characters are so good my waifu Rena are amazing, Keichi, Satoko, Rika, Satoshi, Mion, shion, Kasai, Oishi, Takano, irie, Tomitake, Akasaka, all character are very nice in his way. Takano it's the antagonist, it's a character that can't be hate despite it's the antagonist, i love all character specially Rena <3 <3 .
And well, i give the 9-10 this anime <3 it's so spectacular this series and moments ago it was announced a new project of Higurashi im really so so happy for view again to my waifu Rena in action and i hope with so good animation too <3.
