The first episode and the first scene are already straight-up brutality. The character creation is old-style, but the background or settings art is great. There are animation drops now and then. Good thing that the sound design is great. This episode also has its funny moments.

The first episode kicks off with your typical school life stuff, but the way the emotions and conversations play out makes you wonder what's actually going on. Already curious from the start. The pre-2010 anime style and light comedy just hit different for the nostalgia

Higurashi is summed up by ‘appearance can be deceiving’. The First episode starts all cutesy, but still, there is an eerie feeling. The whole setting of a small village, selective characters, and different characteristics bring forth a mild pace to introduce us to the story.
