I always thought the first season of Higurashi was vastly overrated. I will admit that I have not seen the second season or Rei, but I don't really have an interest to do so. To me, the production values in terms of animation and voice acting just weren't there. The story was wonderfully twisted, but the last arc pretty much stomped over the great work that had been done in that category. Decent show, but not as great as many make it out to be, imo.
