If you do that, you should at least watch the final arc of S1, because the beginning of S2 makes a reference to it.

Not finishing the first season and skipping to the second would be a huge mistake.
Reinvent:
Finished Kai just now and it turned out better than I thought it would. As the first season was progressing it made less and less sense ... but once you add aliens, magic, and gods then it turns out fine (I was thinking, l'm sure like others were, that this had none of that). There were probably a little more things they could have fixed or added to make things more "realistic", but those weren't huge so I won't make a big deal about it.
I had a lot of questions, most of which I forgot, but I'll just post some that I remember.
(click to show/hide)Why wasn't anything done about the foster home Miyo Takano was sent to? If anything I guess that was out of their budget or didn't have enough time to add in.
What's the thing that Mion carries around that resembles a gun and a hostler? Is that a taser? If so should she be carrying it around like that?
How did Hanyuu forget that Takano was the mastermind? Wasn't she giving her a good stare down when Takano was offering a coin?
At the end when the "older" Rika apparently gains time traveling powers, doesn't her changing Takano's life mean that everything that happened wouldn't happen, which means that she wouldn't be there time traveling because she wouldn't know about Takano?! ... This is why time traveling doesn't work.

I'll answer the last one:
(click to show/hide)It's because that character isn't Rika. The Higurashi anime was adapted from a game series, and that older woman was one of the characters that were left out during the anime adaptation. Why show her in that scene? I don't know I haven't played the game series as well, but I know the games had more explanations than the anime.

Yes, S1 was hard to get through because of annoying characters, but you have to accept it as part of Japanese media. All their fictional teenagers are about as pleasant as a yeast infection. It does get better towards the end.
I have only ever dropped one series: Ninja Resurrection. That was because it was incomplete, and because I couldn't find the other episode anywhere.
You cannot judge something until you have seen it in its complete form.

have to aggree with that, l can say almost outright that l have Code Geas, tough l have to complete it (5 more eps of second season left)
But Higurashi DID make a lot of asspain, and yes (click to show/hide)both times it was Shion, it Does make it clear in the anime, but the VN alwasy have a lot more details, the only way to save Shion was to allow Rika to help her, but since she was beyond rational thinking she madea poop and made Rika kill herself, the way she did it however was EPIC !
Higurashi stays on my high grade shelf, it certainly is worth the pain of watching it all. also the fanservice in Rei first eps and the rest is a good reward, l actually wouldn't mind watching more Higurashi, but l don't want to see Rika going through more hardships, she went through a lot (click to show/hide) l'd say 1000 deaths is a lotsecond season was really good, it really does explain 97% questions, and the remainder of answers is in Rei (wich actually is like 3 answers that needed to be informed)
l would really like to debate everything l love in Higurashi but that would be a major spoiler, and l'd preffer you to watch it, l really preffer the second season due to first season PAIN but first season had some incredible artwork, a lot of great stuff.
my favorite arcs in first season are (click to show/hide)Rena's Paranoia arc, Shion's Arc where she kills Satoko, who really showed courage, and Keichi's Arc when he thought he killed Satoko's uncle
