Oh Godddd the anime is okay but it's the second most popular independently produced visual novel ever for good reason. It was meant to be read.
Higurashi is one of my very favourite franchises next to Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night and Clannad. I own all the visual novels, have seen all the anime and am collecting the manga volumes (Much better adaption than the anime) as they get translated. Rena is pretty much my favourite character ever.
And I tend towards not caring so much about old anime because frankly the medium has only gotten better as time has gone on. It's just that it's so much more overexposed now we see far more of the cookiecutter shit that has always been produced and think its golden age has long passed.
So yeah, I'll watch an old anime if I hear something about the plot or the director that interests me, but I don't go out of my way to watch them to prove myself a 'fan'.
I still still still love Sailor Moon though.
