By far the best question arc. Not only does it serve the best questions, it also has the best story. The story had no boring points whatsoever, the slice of life was not dragged on, and was actually important to the story. Seeing Keiichi slowly going insane as more and more contradictions build up, while seeing Satoko in more pain each second, truly showed us how depressing Higurashi can be. Characters were great as well. I loved that Satoko got the spotlight for once, and i loved keiichis realism in this arc.

Overall, a very good experience for a Higurashi question arc. Most definitely recommended ... if you want one hell of a mystery manga. 4.5/5, 9/10

This is my review for Higurashi no naku koro ni; Curse Killined Arc.
Pros:
Still as bloody as the other ones.
Very in depth, i prefer this one over the animated arc
It adds a new part of the curse into the story and i love that

Cons:
Takes a while to pick up (The entire first part of the arc is mostly talking and building up to the amazing second arc)
Something i didn't expect happened, but it wasn't given an explanation to it. (hopefully higurashi no naku koro ni kai will clear that part up).

... Overall:
I really liked it and this is one of the first mangas that i have gotten and im glad it was this arc, i prefer this one over the anime beacuse i feel like it is paced better. But still love this series, looking forward to getting the next one in the series.

Disappointing -- the best word to describe Tatarigoroshi-hen...

Overall, it's a 6 for me...

I was not into this 3rd Higurashi installment... I was anxious about how it will end, yes... I was thinking that maybe it would have a great twist and an unforgettable ending like the first 2 but sadly I was mistaken...

Story started off well enough, it was fast and had a different flow to it... but then I found it to be boring since it became too dramatic... I mean, good that the story now focused on Satoko and Keichi but it was too melodramatic for me... predictable even... Maybe I was ... watching way too many horror movies that they all seem the same to me...

I found myself flipping through the pages faster than what I did with the first 2... but not because of the gripping story but because I wanted to reach the end... and it was a relief to have reached the end since now I can move on to another...

Recommended for people who wants a manga with a "Twilight Zone" feel to it and like some of the episodes in the TZ, it just doesn't cut it... :S
