Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Spoilers
After arriving in the picturesque village of Hinamizawa, Keiichi Maebara spends most of his time with the friends he has made there. They explore new places in and around the village together. One time, he helps his friend Rena get a statue of a fast-food restaurant mascot after she tells him that it is cute. During their time there, he suddenly has a vision of events that haven’t taken place yet. He also comes across freelance photographer Jiro Tomitake, who tells him certain truths about the village.
This season introduces the science-fiction elements quite early. In episode 2, an adult version of Rika regains consciousness in an alternate world. She is then told that she must relive events that transpired in June 1983. The friends later attend the festival together and see that Rika is conducting the ritual. It is only after the festival evening that the news of the disappearances of Miyo Takano and Tomitake start to spread like wildfire.
