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. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa.

I watched this right after seeing Another (a great series for fans of this genre). Although it was rather slow(I really got into the series I think after the last few arcs) it was worth it in a sense, you'll get that how-the-hell-did-that-happen feeling on some of the first few episodes and get the oh-shit-so-that's-what-happened feeling on the last few.
If you have too much time on your hands you should try this.
P.S. the animation and the art gets better on the second season(and of course the CONCLUSIONS!), that's something to look forward to, right?
