In the middle of the second season it kept repeating on about the (SPOOOOOOIIIIIILLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR) child welfare saying no and stuff, which sucked, other than that part of the second season it was great, especially the way they tell u why all the acts were commited. I really liked how much of the different story arcs could, atleast a bit, relate to eachother and..... KEICHII FOREVAH. Lol just had to.

Too much 'checklist'-mode, too much of Rika's dialog felt off to me, too slow, too over-the-top in a lot of ways (not that the first season wasn't, just in different and harder-to-accept ways). I also didn't feel terribly attached to the characters, which is probably why our opinions differ so much on the second season. If I were enthralled by the character development (and yes, there is a lot of good stuff), the other issues wouldn't overshadow it. Purely looking at the first season, it is very incomplete, yet the second season still doesn't complement it nearly as well as it should. I loved the Rei OAV, though. That Hanyuu is tricky, ain't she? I recently saw this, and I didn’t like the second season nearly as much as the first.

Even with it's slowness, it still had some shockingly gruesome and horrible moments. I guess I can see why people wouldn't like it because it's nothing like the first. But to me the strength of the show lies within the characters. If you love the characters you want to know the whys behind their actions. That is where the 2nd season really shines. Overall, it was a great show. I think the end was a bit too comical at times but I have no real complaints. It's amazing storytelling and everything is so complete. The Higurashi team really redeemeded themselves with the 2nd season in terms of story telling. I loved the series and never had a hard time getting into the 2nd season.
