Summary(by me):

Fate is not something someone has the power to change that easely, even if something else happen, the time when you die won't change. Furude Rika, priestess of the Furude Shrine, is said to be the reincarnation of a god figure called Oyashiro, and thus bear a lot of responsability.
This child of 8 to 9 year old die soon after the end of the cotton drifting festival, an old festival where sacrifice where made for Oyashiro's grace.
With the help of a god called Hanyu, Rika has the power to return back at the start of the month of june to change the past, she failed many time and die every end of this month.
Rika slowly lose hope to change anything, her attempt were in vain.
Something happen, something is not like it should be, her friend recall event happened in the other ''world''.

Hanyu's power is going down, Rika has only two more chance to find her murderer, the motive behind it, the cause of the destruction of the village and to change it, and she doesn't want to let even one of her friend behind, she want the last world to be the perfect one, the one she desired for over a hundred of year... will she be able to do it?

A must watch imo but you need to see the entire show to appreciate it :).

I just finished watching it (and the second season) and I really liked it. Very well done and I loved the plot. Exciting, though one of the most disturbing anime I've seen.

There's also Higurashi no naku koro ni Rei who just started, it's a serie of 5 OVA.

The first one was really funny.

Do they get violent too, or are they "daily life" ones?

From what I heard they do both, some will be more action packted and other more daily life like.

The first one tough is 100% daily life but is really funny xD.

It's an amazig series, I loved every minute of it, especially the second season (the first one was great aswell of course).

I completely love the cast, there are few series around which have so many interesting and great characters :)

So, Rei episode 3 is out. Things are getting really interesting and they left us with a huge cliffhanger towards the end....and the next episode is still a month away! ;_;

Oh and
Rika again shows how badass she is by beating up the annoying Satoko.
