Oh man I just started Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and I'm already 8 episodes in. After watching the first episode I knew I was in for one helluva ride!
(click to show/hide) Just to clarify, each story arc sort of resets the story. So every story arc has someone play the role as "the villain" because in the first arc the "villain" characters seemed to be Rena and Mion, while in the second arc the "villain" was Mion. In the second arc we learn that Mion and that insane town was involved in the disappearances, yet characteristics of other characters are still retained, right? So in the second arc, despite helping Keiichi bring down Mion to uncover the truth, Rena is still batshit insane? (Like in the first arc), yet I thought she would be involved with Mion in the second arc because the two seemed to be working together in the first arc?
So do we learn more about the story and characters from the different arc viewpoints, or is each arc a clean slate for the characters? Also, in the second arc, what was up with Rika stabbing herself when we don't see that anywhere else? I guess she did so when she went over to Mion's house for soy sauce, and knew what was coming
Oh man I am so stoked for this anime, its pretty awesome!
Bob2004:
They're all inter-related, and there is a reason for all the different arcs; they do all link together. Once you've watched both seasons, you'll understand it all. Although the eventual explanation is slightly disappointing, IMO (despite being basically the core point of the series).

the first season is like all the questions, the second season is all the answers. just know that, as explained above, they all link up. rika stabbing herself gets explained later, watch her closely :3

Ahhh, so the first arc of the second season explains the first arc of the first season, is that it?
That's cool, because I found it strange how in the first arc of season 1 Mion and Rena did not know detective Oishi (they're asking Keiichi "who are you talking to?") while in the second arc of season 1 Mion and Rena introduce Keiichi to Oishi.
