I have not yet seen such a beautiful but creepy anime at the same time, Higurashi has been like a blessing, it does everything prefect and it's sequel it's no different, the main story or plot keeps messing with your head until you actually figure out what's happening in this world, the gore might be somewhat unnecessary but doesn't keep it from being awesome, the characters are easy to relate to and each one has their own story, you'll find the unanswered questions from the prequel and much more... Higurashi IS THE BEST ANIME I've seen.
If you haven't yet seen this Masterpiece you better do it now, you'll regret not doing it, assure you won't be disappointed.
