Now this is a seriously messed up Series... think Paranoia Agent or Boggiepop Phantom.

It follows a group of friend living in a Village in Japan called Higurashi. Though this village and its inhabitants have some very dark secrets, including some of the group of friends the series concentrates on.

I warn you in advance, there is a lot of blood, and other seriously messed up stuff.

Basically, the series is split into Two parts, and several short arcs (they tend to be about 4 episodes).
Now for the first part, each of the arcs is a complete reset of continuity. You see four episodes, then the story ends, and in the next episode Higurashi is back to as it was at the beginning, though this time things follow a slightly different path. Also note, that with each arc, we do learn new stuff about Higurashi, and meet new characters. And I have a feeling, that which is learned from the later arcs may apply to some the pior arcs too.
It should be noted that the last arc of the first part actually seems to refer to the arc just before it, but from a different view point at a different time to when the events accur, though there are some contradictions....

I'm sure I will learn what these contradictions mean, as the first part is called Questions, and the second part is called Answers. So it seems some light is going to be shined on the mysteries of Higurashi.

I do know this, one of the arcs of Answers is the Second Arc of Questions, but from a point of view of another character, in such a way as to almost explain everything that happenned in that arc. Or something like that.


And oh, another thing I should say. Each Arc (of Questions at least) starts off cheerful and even hilarious, as the group of friends go about their lives normally. Then things start going seriously messed up, pretty sharpish.

It is a very interesting series, and I highly recommend it, if you can take it... If not, then... well don't say I didn't warn you....

Hahahahaha-ahahaha-ahahahaha-ahaahaha-ahahahahahaha-ahahahaha!
