Daaaammmmnnnnnn.

talk about deep. Higurashi seems to be able to cram so many genres into one series without looking silly.

I would recommend this anime to anyone who likes deep plots and mysteries, since the story has a way of taking a twist towards the end that really makes you go "Oh, so THAT'S how it happened"

I just finished watching the series, but I won't post any spoilers, since the fun comes from unraveling the mystery yourself.

Be prepared though. for much of the first season, you might be confused and even wonder what the hell is going on. be assured that by the start of the second season, all will be revealed, and the final pieces of the puzzle will be put in place.

Make sure you have a strong stomach though, since some scenes can be very very very VERY disturbing.

P.S. To Jade: Why should I save the world I no longer have a stake in.
