Never watched Higurashi before. Only thing I've heard from it, is that it's very bloody.
Is it good and worth watching?
It's pretty bloody but the story is really good, I highly recommend it, it's one of my favourite series. Make sure to watch the second season as well.
I need to catch up with the manga, I own the first 14 volumes and the side story 'Demon Exposing Arc'.
