First of all, this is nothing near a horror genre so if you're just a horror anime fan, I can understand you not liking it. But if you love higurashi because of the characters and you want some more comedy out of these characters, I can recommend this to you. My first impression is WTF!? It seems more fan fiction rather than a spin off. And not to forget the fan services of the show. Unlike the main series, this show contains many fan fictions (bouncing breasts, pantie shots and etc.) This may seem very weird and out of place if you remember those characters as a character from a horror show. I guess that the best way to enjoy this show is to watch this AFTER you watch Higurashi When they cry Rei because Rei is less heavy and more lighter so you will get used to the transitions. But my opinion, I enjoyed it a lot, even if it's very weird.
