Starting off I'm quite a big fan of the higurashi series ever since I was a child, so seeing this type of execution of the show was like taking a child's candy, I am not talking about the plot, it's the same. I barely managed to watch the first episode and have this to say: please just watch the original series, I do not know who the hell thought this remake was any good of an idea. Starting with the most glaring issue: over the top visuals (comparable to that of h-word quality) not saying it's bad but in my opinion it really doesn't fit with anything in this show. The dialogue at times seems, well..... quite off (watch the og show and then this and you'll understand), and the scene where mion and Rena just sit there like npcs in the beginning before kiechi comes to them (also a moment of off dialogue) Oh and the voice acting, I personally may be very biased however the original sounded in my opinion much better.
TLDR: watch the original and never this of this again.
