I think the entire series would have been best if it had kept itself in a frame of 26-30 episodes but that is just my opinion.

Completely agree. I might have actually been able to finish it, if the entire thing was completed in 26 episodes or so. I still would've hated on it all the same though, regardless :P

Just as you're allowed to rave about how good the series is, I'm allowed to say how shitty it is. I'm just giving an opposing viewpoint on a clearly well-liked series. People can take what they want from what I say. If they choose to watch it, that's their call. All I can hope is that some people heed my warning and avoid it, so their brain doesn't turn to mush from what they would endure.
It's probably the second worst series I've ever started watching. Props to anyone who finished this crapfest.

hardly, tbh, l'm dissapointed in you, you seemed to me a person who can apreciate a good show that has a long run finale, but you prove one law in your criticism.
If you expect something, you don't get anything from what you recive.
Drew:
Don't get put off by the first season. Push through and watch the second season. Really worth it, IMO. Fantastic anime, and the ending couldn't have been better. In the end, everything is explained (even moreso in Rei). Definitely worth the watch.
Havoc10K:
actually there are plenty hints in season one, in season two you learn quite a lot about all characters, and REI teaches more about Oyashiro (click to show/hide)(Hanyuu)
this show is defo worth every bit, to make it better, in sales, SD 35K sold, Higurashi 44k sold, ppl arent mistaken (l speak of DVD sets)
this anime isn't my favorite but its defo one of the best for me, maybe the comedy part isn't great, but it fits properly.
Seekr12:
I had a major problem with that show. I hated how at times, there would be cute wacky chibi moments with the characters after we had just seen scenes of intense violence, gore and psychological trauma that would scar us for weeks. I couldn't really get in the mode of "OOOOH LOOK AT THESE CUTE CHARACTERS ARGUING OVER A BENTO BOX!!!" after I had seen someone chopped up, mutilated-etc. The numerous arcs also drove me nuts. Maybe I need to watch the second season-I originally thought it was an attempt to just capitalize on the popularity of the first season, but if it actually explains WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED in the first season I'll give it a watch. However, the series does win the award for the most painful, cringe inducing thing I have ever scene in any entertainment medium:
(click to show/hide)The scene where one of the girls (I forget her name at this point) gets her fingernails ripped off. The sound effects were painful. I've seen alot of violence and gore and that stuff doesn't affect me, but that scene sure did.
