for those who doesn not know about higurashi . three point represent ( 1 ) higurashi have 50 episode in total . second half ( 24 episode ) be call higurashi no nakukoroni kai . kai mean answer to mystery . you would not get answer and you would not understand the whole story until you watch kai part . ( 2 ) style be somewhat similar to u drama lose . you will keep wondering if bizarre phenomenon will be explain by science and logic and or by pure fantasy . ( 3 ) if you do not know about anime and you may think some part be very childish and silly or weird . there be many moe element in this anime and which be prevalent in current anime . maid dress and multiple very young female character with one central male character and be typical moe element and and you should just ignore them and they shouldn not distract you from concentrate on the main story . what new about higurashi be the combination of moe and horror and not unlike elfen lie which combine moe and science fiction . but moe part may be just annoy for those who like serious drama .
