I formally welcome you to Hinamizawa. Please enjoy your stay.
As a note during your stay, you may be confused by the various concepts that the series presents. Before you go looking for answers, you should finish watching at least "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" and "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai". As the anime cannot go into alot of detail, you should also consider reading the manga and visual novels to obtain a better understanding. Please, don't hesitate to ask questions. Quote:

Is there any translation of either the drama cd or the manga arc "Sukekomashi-hen" aka "the Ladykiller arc"?

I'm not sure but considering that the Daybreak arc is based on a fighting game that already had a wacky storyline, I don't think that it matters much. |

I recommend the series, although the animation is a bit, well, let's just say it's infamous for stuff like kaoge (particularly in the first season). But the story is good/interesting and the characters are lovable (and a bit scary at times. ). There's also plenty of "wtf" moments to throw you off, particularly going into the second arc.
If you're still unsure, I suggest watching it elsewhere first via torrent or something, then, if you like the first couple of episodes, buy it.

While it's far from being the best version of Higurashi, the anime adaptation, even with its flaws, is still good and is a nice introduction to the series. You might want to read the Sound Novel and/or manga afterward if you liked what you've seen, though.

No... I don't want to give anything away, but there are scenes in which they try to make the characters look scary, but fail. Such as the ladder shaking scene in episode 7. ^^;

In its defense, the facial expressions are usually well done throughout the series, since a good deal of the storyline takes its direction from the reactions of the characters.
