Just started watching this today...and damn it's freaky! xD
It starts out as a really cutesy anime, really vibrant colours and all happy and hyper :P But turns out it's a horror anime...O_O
I'm addicted, it's nice and jumpy, definitely recommend you watch it since it's Halloween time :P

However this is most definitely not for everyone...it tells stories in different arcs (comparable to different dimensions), ie. a character may be alive in one arc while s/he lives in the next. They're all different "possibilities of outcomes" so to speak.
It's kinda freaky though

On one hot summer day in 1983, a transfer student named Maebara Keiichi comes to a peaceful rural village in Hinamizawa. There, he befriends his classmates Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. Accepted as a full-fledged member of the "club," Keiichi and the gang plays all sorts of activities ranging from card and board games to hide-and-seek. People will remember that THIS was how playing used to be before the advent of video games. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa. Dam contruction project. Violent demonstrations. Kidnapping and extortion. ARM-AND-LEG DISMEMBERMENT MURDER. As Keiichi dives deeper into the mystery, he finds that his new found friends may not be all what they claim to be.

I was just looking through the threads to see if anyone has mentioned. Yes, I have seen this anime - first and second season of it. It's REALLY great! Second season is definitely doesn't contain too much of the horror element in it, it's more like uncovering mysteries. So if you begin watching it and you decide to put it down because the first season seems way confusing (why are they all sudden alive again in the next episode - that sort of thing), make sure you watch the second season!! The second season uncovers it all, it explains everything. I really don't think that anime was that much scary anymore though :p
I really hope to encounter an anime like this one, ohhhh this one really played with my psychological part of my mind.
