I am not actually quite close to finishing this anime but i really enjoyed it and i also didnt know there was a continue from higurashi no naku koro ni. I loved the mystery and that out of it weird tales of each characters storyline it is really fascinating how all there stories has come to together if you do love mystery detective and weird anime I suggest that this Anime is an A OKAY FOR YOU TO WATCH but that is if you want to watch from part 1 then to part 2 of the understanding of the story and stuff
