I just started watching this on Sunday and just finished episode 6. This is one of the creepiest series I've seen. There were a few "Hh SH**" moments where I really said "Oh Sh**!" out loud. The cute but creepy character design really works well with adding to the wrongness. Anyways, anyone else watching this series? I've queued up to the latest episode last night, hopefully i'll have it downloaded when I get home.

I have seen up to the current episode. For me, this series, along with Haruhi deserve best series award for the summer season of 2006. It is really one messed up series, and even more messed up than elfen lied and that's saying something. I love the music, the opening theme, the characters, no matter how messed up their motivations are and the fact that each arc begins on a lighter note before heading into hell.
<---and i like her the best hehehe :D

That's why I like her. She compliments me hehehe XD.

***************First off semi Spoiler warning**************
Skip here if you don't want anything revealed, even though I'm not revealing much.
Ryu, without revealing the plot at all, is it explained why it suddenly resets (time line wise) after the first story? Or is it just suppose to be like another possible story with the same characters?

it's not really a spoiler, just the formation of the series. The series has "sets" of arcs with same characters and settings, but the plot, victims and the mastermind under the acts are all different by arc. They do all the questioning of all the stories in the beginning. So you wont know the juicy details till the end. :)
I love this series, yes it's one helluva creepy series with cute characters flipping out getting real nutty. And when it all comes together at the end, your mind is blown. I love it.

Ok, I think I understand now. Each is a story arc. What they are doing is showing half of the story arc then moving to the next story arc. After they've shown all 4 arcs they'll show the second half of the arc for each one. Pretty good, because the first two story arcs left me going WTF??
I have seen only two episodes and I already say it was messed up. Wow... I don't know if I can handle it for more. XD I'll try watching it again.
I'm @20 or so. Crazy stuff.
I want to watch this show so bad, but I have to finish Patlabor TV first, plus college is sort of keeping me busy.
I've seen up to 21 I believe.... Its so yummy~ XD
Reading this thread and a little information elsewheres, my curiosity is entirely piqued. I'll have to check it out after I finish working on Princess Princess (which I'm doing, albeit ever so slowly).

I haven't seen a dark anime for a while since Elfen Lied and Monster. I enjoy the series and hoping to catch up soon.
Well, out of the question arcs, I have to say that the best one was the first story arc. That one really had me feeling a bit creeped. I just started the first of the answer arcs and I'm interested how this is going to play out for all the arcs. I sure hope the creepiness meter gets high again because the last answer arc didn't feel scary at all, just sad. Anyways, I'm getting close to catching up with everyone.
Since I'm done downloading Haruhi (yes, I did it, XD) might as well put this in line. I'm curious. Like, really.
Picked this up tonight. Watched the first episode, got hooked, grabbed a bunch more off IRC. Currently about to start ep6. My roommate and I are slightly creeped out, slightly confused, and very much enjoying it.
Just watched episode 24. I realized from the Wikipedia entry that we aren't going to get the so-called "answer arcs" from the Curse Killing chapter and the Time Wasting chapter... What the hell! They should make them in OVA, or a second season (even if it's just 13 episodes), or something. But I think none of the remaining arcs is going to be quite as downright creepy as the first arc was. That one wins by a lot in general frighteningness... but it doesn't really make sense compared to the other chapters.

I`m sure they WILL make one once the actual "game" is finished. (It`s still got one more so-called "Arc" to go.)
Though I have to tell you from what I`ve read so far (tis a novel game) about the last half it`s not very fun.
And the fact I don`t really like the anime besides the opening music doesn`t thrill me much. Wish the characters didn`t look as ICKY D:
For great hilarity (spoilers from like episode 3 or so, and ep 3 of Haruhi):

I watched nine episodes. I watched episode four and eight and it’s holy sh--. I watched episode five and nine and it’s Huh? It seems to be a slow series.

You just wait. It gets better as the series goes on. It's an insane series and I love the mystery aspect, but the fact that is bloody and cringe worthy is even more of a bonus lol
I've watched a grand total of the first episode by now and am definitely interested in watching more, but since we get our internet taken away if we download anything big here, I'm gonna have to wait 'til Thanksgiving to satisfy my curiosity. :/

I'll burn you the entire series and give it to you tomorrow, since you'll be at the fanimaid staff meeting.
The last arc is really awesome as well. :D

There's more where that came from, but some of the others are a little more spoileriffic.

I believe you XD Slow anime series makes me fall asleep.
By the way, the last two arcs of the games are being translated here (http://zettai.makenaidesuwayo.com/). If I'm not mistaken, you still need a copy of the original Japanese game (about $15 + shipping) to apply the patch to. Worth trying out though, if you're desperate to know what happens.
Welp, I watched the first six episodes on the way to and from L.A. this weekend (thanks, Ryu! :3) and the seventh today. I have to say, it certainly keeps my attention if only by making me wonder what the heck's going on. This is one series I'll be watching fast. *laugh*
Watched 3, and it's starting to creep me out. Especially the change of voice in Rena... :shock:
I finished the series yesterday... I really like the ending. o_O;

I like it when girls change their voice and start staying stuff that displays a totally different character. It's pure win. I love.

LMAO
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, the second Higurashi series that'll begin airing in July, now has an official site (http://www.oyashirosama.com/web/kai/index.htm) up. There will be a new, original chapter called "Yakusamashihen." It's basically recap that'll help people catch up and/or remember what happened in the first series.
they really love hyping it up.
Cast list
？？？？ … å €æ±Ÿç"±è¡£ (Horie Yui)
they state that this arc is an "original" story that's not associated with the game directly, hope it's not omg filler. True fans don't need recaps amirite.
