I'm watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. One of the main problems I have is that the first two or three episodes into each arc are boring as fuck. It's only the fourth episode usually that really keeps me interested. The only reason I'm continuing it is that apparently there's awesome gore later on, and also I want to know whatthe fuck is going on.
Come to think of it, in most anime I've watched the pacing has been the worst thing about it. I found Elfen Lied and Mirai Nikki were the best for pacing. I was speaking about it with my brother and he told me how he was watching Dragonball Z and literally nothing happened for 8 episodes.

Higurashi is a mystery series. The first few episodes of every arc are necessary to give you a sense of the setting and the characters. The payoff for getting invested in what's going on is tremendous later. If you are only watching for the gore though, you probably won't like the direction the story eventually goes.
