The story of Sotsu in itself was great, and together with the perfectly fitting artwork and music it just felt satisfying to watch...

However, my main problem with Sotsu is the "time-management":
Most of the answer-arcs could be shortened to one or two episodes, since they basically just repeat everything that happened inside the question-arc - just with some occasional scenes that remind you of what you already know from the ending of Gou.
Since the season only has 15 episodes and the answer-arcs for Gou make up ca. 12 or 13 of them, the actual ending feels rushed and like it could have been expanded on significantly.

Still, I enjoyed the whole season very much, and especially the ending was well executed. And even though it surely feels strange for a serious mystery-horror-anime like Higurashi to feature such a "shonen-like" climax battle, it positively added to the experience in my opinion.
