Eh, there's nothing wrong with Higurashi's "answer." The conclusion of the mystery is fine. There's everything wrong with how damn easy it suddenly became--with Takano, once so strong and confident, suddenly becoming an ineffectual limp dick of a villain and the Yamainu getting their asses kicked by a bunch of kids, and all the comedic-action sequences that just totally destroyed the dark, moody, serious atmosphere the series had going for it.

I'm of the opinion that if Higurashi had a "bad ending" it would have worked with the story pretty well.
