Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - MariettaRC - 2008-10-18
I started watching this anime yesterday at the college's anime club. Right now, I'm on episode 5 so for the love of GOD, no spoilers (or at least use spoiler tags). D:
How many of you have seen it, though? I must say, this is the perfect anime for October because from what I've seen so far, it is REALLY SCARY. o_o Mystery/horror = Perfect anime genre for this month.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - FelixTM - 2008-10-18
It's the best anime ever made, and my personal all-time favorite. Just to entice your curiosity, I'll say this:
You know nothing about what's going on. Everything you think you have figured out, you don't.
Enjoy!
(And be sure to watch season 2 if you want to fully understand the truth of the series.)

I have yet to watch it but I've been wanting to watch it ever since my friend told me it's at mind f'uck status.

After watching the 5th ep, I will say that your friend is totally right. O_o

Soul Eater is an awesome anime too that has a halloween theme to it. It's not scary though.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Zaotsu - 2008-10-18
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I've seen it, make sure to watch the second season as well. It's one of, if not the best anime in the horror genre. You'll have fun with later episodes :3
[SPOILER=Don't click unless you want to be spoiled.]M/Sh ion continually stabbing a crucified Satoko, M/Sh ion having to remove two of her own fingernails. Rika impaling herself in the head repeatedly with a knife. Maggots crawling out of Rena's cuts.

I'm gonna try watching it. That intro song....... I KNOW I HAVE HEARD IT SOMEWHERE. Are there any maple videos or anything that use that song? Where the hell have i heard that song before.

Back like two years ago, my friend wouldn't shut up about it in class with me.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Truly - 2008-10-18
Has to be one of my favorites. It was actually the first one of it's kind that I saw. I was very surprised to tell the truth.
Keep on watching, it's great.
3rd season eventually... :O

Not really a third season, just an OVA. So a few episodes, I can't remember how many though.

It is said to be 5 episodes, forgot that it was an OVA. :x
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - raizoo - 2008-10-18
Good adaptation, makes me want to read into the novels more, but my Japanese is horrible.
OVA is five episodes and it's going to take a year and a bit for all five to come out from now. [SIZE="1"]Making Higurashi eligible for jsaimoe 2010, I believe, kukuku.[/SIZE]
Saikoroshi-hen - three episodes. The only serious one and I found it surprisingly touching, especially if you're interested in Rika.
Hirukowashi-hen - one episode.
I forget the title of the last chapter, but yeah, one episode. I think it involves the gang at the community pool and stuff.

Happy Halloween, Maria....

I just finished episode 9, and I've got some theories about what's going on. I'll put it in a spoiler.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - MariettaRC - 2008-10-19
So I'm confused about something.
[spoiler=Only answer this if you know what's going on in the series.]Is this in any sort of order, seeing as Keiichi is killed in every chapter, but is alive at every start as if nothing's happened? >_>[/spoiler]

Each death usually signifies the end of an arc. I really don't think you want me to explain it to you, as it would spoil the series. However, I can say that everything that happens is related.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - raizoo - 2008-10-19
Anything that happens once means almost nothing.
Anything that happens twice is a coincidence.
Anything that happens more than that is important.

omfg....... I messed up and started watching Higurashi no naku koro ni kai by accident -_-". I have no idea which episodes of which series i've watched, since alot of them are similar. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I gotta backtrack to see where I started wandering off into the 2nd series.

Check with episode fourteen of the first season. It's a new chapter and it's quite different from any of the other chapters.
It's not like you'll be spoilt if you watch the next parts out of order of the first season as long as you watch the first eight episodes anyway.

I'm already back on track. It's wierd sorta of knowing what's going on way way ahead of time, and putting together the puzzle of the story backwards from the way it was intended. Since I saw like 20 episodes ahead (all the way into the 2nd series) I'm connecting the two stories backwards lol. I got lost on episode 18 of the first series, and watched the second series from then until episode 23. That's when I realized I clicked on the kai version. The youtube videos are all placed under recent videos, which is where I was clicking at. I didn't see the kai and clicked on Higurashi no naku koro ni kai 18 lol. The story actually continues in the second season almost exactly the same, episode by episode, just from a different point of view. Man its wierd putting the puzzle together like this lol.

Edit 2: yay I remember where I heard the song from before. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't remember.

Still, how could you... not notice the vast changes in the quality of the anime from the first and second season, even on youtube.... lol....
[spoiler=Some people still don't know about the Sonozaki sisters, but it's fun confusing people.]
Quote:「Bingo. The Sonozaki Sisters were reversed. Mion is Shion. When they put the tattoo on, they made a mistake and did it on the wrong twin and couldnt salvage the situation. Thats why when you read this notebook, Mion and Shion are reversed. If so, one can understand the relationship of Satoshi-kun and Shion-san, ...I mean Mion-san? Ah, so complicated! 」There's only one chapter where the switch doesn't happen.... kukuku.[/spoiler]
