It didn't help that someone linked me to the Synopsis of the third Higurashi (the OVA yeah?)...
So since it spoiled my experience with another show, I think I'll have to stop watching this one, despite thinking it was my second favorite airing show.

you should know that onikakushi-hen (the original game) sold over 100k copies in japan, thus leading to subsequent funding and success of production of the rest of the higurashi series. since the live action's announcement, over 500k copies of higurashi VN have been sold. it's popularity earned itself manga, anime, movie, drama-cd, novel, ps2, ds adaptations. (source
wiki)
edit: since higurashi is a doujin, it makes the numbers even more impressive.
umineko = higurashi on crack
that having said, since you're already "not too sure" about the anime, i very very much suggest you read the visual novel instead (yes come to the dark side). the only thing the anime's got that the VN doesnt is... it moves. if you want good music, storytelling, general epic aura, or (spoiler for onikakushi-hen)
there's links in the
07th expansion fan club.
