This is a list of episodes of animation produced for the Japanese murder mystery series Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Note that none of the English translations are official titles.

In 2006, the first season, entitled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (ひぐらしのなく頃に), was produced by the Japanese animation studio Studio Deen and directed by Chiaki Kon. The series contained twenty-six episodes which aired between April 4 and September 26 on a number of Japanese television networks, including but not limited to, Chiba TV, Kansai TV, and Tokai TV. The story follows a group of five young friends the strange events that occur in the village that they live in called Hinamizawa. A string of unexplained murders have plauged the town for the past three years during the annual Watanagashi Festival in June, and with the next Watanagashi approaching, things start to take a turn for the worse. The series was divided into six chapters which were the first six chapters in the original visual novel series. First was Onikakushi-hen between episodes one and four, followed by Watanagashi-hen between episodes five and eight, and Tatarigoroshi-hen between episodes nine and thirteen, making the series half over. Next was Himatsubushi-hen between episodes fourteen and fifteen, making it the smallest of the story arcs. The last two chapters were Meakashi-hen between episodes sixteen and twenty-one, and finally Tsumihoroboshi-hen, between episodes twenty-two and twenty-six.

In 2007, the second season, entitled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (ひぐらしのなく頃に解), was produced by the same team as with the first season, and is set to contain twenty-four episodes. The series began airing in Japan on July 6 on several Japanese television networks, such as Sun TV, TV Kanagawa, and TV Saitama. The story is similar to the first season, but what was left unexplained in the first season will now be explained over the course of three separate story arcs. The first is an anime-original arc called Yakusamashi-hen, which will be followed by the last two arcs from the original visual novel series named Minagoroshi-hen, and finally Matsuribayashi-hen.
