Confusing at first this anime is very well crafted with genuine twists and turns that will keep you watching until at last it all makes sense. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni lulls the veiwer in to false sense of security then torures them until they can't stop watching. Overall a very good peice of anime well worth watching and you defenately have to get the follow up Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. @.@
