Stick with the original.
Let's start with Satoko: So OOC it's near criminal. And why was Teppei offered a redemption arc? NO NO NO! This is a man who was abusive, and even if some of it was because of Satoko's Hinamazawa Syndrome and it caused her to hallucinate some of her past treatment, he should have never been offered a redemption arc! And in the original he even outright suggested that it was a good thing that she was a kid because of she was older...implying that he'd either have her or worse! NOT a nice guy!
Good things do not happen to those who leave Hinamizawa, so why were Rika and Satoko at St. Lucia's, when none of the other girls in the series who attended there were happy? Shion ran away, and poor Ange, as well as Jessica, who also attended? She fared the best of the lot, but I can't imagine it was always roses for her, there.
And there is so much more, but my brain hurts just thinking of all the things I disliked.
Ugh. I just couldn't with this form of Higurashi. I'll stick with the original series.
