A great way they do this is splitting the focus of all these characters into separate arcs, that way you can learn more about the characters and why they are the way they are now.

The characters are also a very big highlight in this series, as each of them present themselves as a very unique element for when the time comes. You may not understand everything right away or even halfway, but the greatest thing about this anime is they leave no stone unturned.

I also love how this anime is very careful with the mysteries surrounding it, as well as when it's a proper time for each of them to come into play. I love how an anime like this can make you be on your feet with suspense at times when it feels like you're not even meant to. As he chooses to dig in deeper to these secrets, his sense of paranoia begins to rise further as the days go by, while also realizing his newly made friends may also have secrets of their own. But even though his first impressions are positive, he soon begins to learn of the dark secrets the village has within the shadows. From there he meets many new friends, particularly when joining an afterschool club to get along better with a handful of his new classmates. For the first half of this series, we're introduced to Maebara Keiichi, a young teenage boy who moves to the small village of Hinamizawa. Can certain incidents really only be explained with supernatural factors, or is there really just a logical explanation to everything that's happening? Questions like this are definitely what drive the viewer to wanting to figure what the real truth is behind all the mystery at the end of the day. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni was such an amazing and uniquely mysterious anime that really does put you into question of what to believe in.
