Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
|
Psychological, mindfvck, thriller anime for a mature audience. They creep you out and mess with your brain.
Both, in one way or another, involve mysteries, split personalities, paranoia, and death.
You'll find intriguing stories, a dark atmosphere, a sometimes hopeless vibe, few light-hearted moments... and an unconventional deity.
Even though Higurashi has several protagonists and SEL only one, in both anime the girls are young, cute and seemingly harmless, but they have secrets and can be very scary at times. Higurashi is way more violent and bloody, but Lain also has some unsettling scenes.

they both deal with the mental aspect of things more then anything else, and both do a good job at it.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Serial Experiments Lain are both creepy animes that screw with your mind. Each of these animes also have split personalities and weird deaths.
Both animes make you think. They challenge you on what is real and what is not. Both have wonderful main casts and plots that just amaze you on how good it is and what kind of twists and turns it takes.
