Just wait until the last few episodes of the first season. They will BLOW YOUR MIND.

Those first four episodes got me hooked in a good way. While the rest couldn't keep the awesomeness level at the same hight the whole way through (a hard thing to do imo), it is still one of my favorites.

This show is way F***ed up. I've never watched anything like this before.

Yeah, it kinda is. The second series is weaker though. Doesn't have the atmosphere anymore.
And if you want really f***ed up try watching Shigurui. Higurashi is violent, right? Well, compared to Shigurui it's laughable.

I don't think it's the fact that Higurashi is violent is as disturbing as the fact that it's violent and creepy. With creepy violence, in fact. (episode 19, for example)

I dunno, I felt the second series was the concrete that binds it all together into a single package. The gore is not as high, but it just blows my mind how everything eventually got weaved together.

The whole series gets an A+ from me, though. My favorite arcs are the ones where Mion and Shion were trading places. When the "answer" arc for that one came, and you saw all the stuff that was going on in the background, and see just how demented Shion had become... man, it sends chills up my spine. I cringe every time I see the fingernail pulling scene.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I feel the exact same way as you.

To be honest, I didn't expect some sort of Spanish Inquisition style torture.
