Only for fans of Mr. Ryuukishi07's creations, and even some of them may be disappointed...
A certain young boy from big city arrives to a certain small town. At first, townspeople seem friendly, but it turns out they hide some dark secrets from him. Eventually, people start to disappear mysteriously. And there's also a legend concerning the townspeople's ancestry...
Alas, many points which were strong in "Higurashi", lack in this anime... Unmanly "hero", who has nothing in common with word-magician Keiichi or chess-master Battler. Very sketchy harem, dominated by childish stalker claiming to be a "sudden girlfriend". Simplified plot and mystery, having nothing on "Higurashi" or even "Umineko". The main antagonist is simple and sketchy as well...
But all things above could be bearable, if there was no HORRIBLE episode 13. It should be rather a separate OVA, because it's... a parody!
It was a warning. Only for "Higurashi" fans, and even not every of them.
