In my honest opinion, the first 17 or so episodes of the anime were slow-paced and were honestly tiring for people who are seasoned veterans of Higurashi. It felt like deja vu but not quite. The story is the same until episode 2 but it leaves the watcher wondering what can they possibly add to this classic to make it better. Branching out from just Rika's character development made me feel more enjoyment in watching the series as it really took a HUGE turn in what Higurashi is. I don't want to spoil anything but for those who have dropped this please pick it up and watch until Rika's loops "end". You won't regret it. The art is consistent with anime from 2021 taking on that classic Higurashi aesthetic with updated designs and colors. The OST and BGM and OP and EDS are fantastic. Characters are the same overall but the voice acting and parts seem rushed but they improve as the series ends. Overall this was super enjoyable and I highly recommend it.
