Mion's causal outfit includes a gun.
It's an illegally modified airsoft gun, but due to a real life incident Ryukishi chose not to have it be used in the story. Because of this, it was cut from many adaptations.
It would finally see canon use in Higurashi Sotsu in 2021.

According to a 2005 interview, Higurashi was originally meant to be a typical visual novel w/ choices where you could do the Rena Route or Mion Route, and after doing both could progress to the Satoshi Route.
Also, Shion was named Tamane & was only later decided to be a twin.

Kyousuke Irie was originally intended to be the mastermind of Higurashi and even encased Satoshi's brain in formaldehyde.

Rena's "weapon" is an oversized nata, a Japanese gardening and wood-cutting tool.
It started out as an axe, but it was changed because a nata seemed more stylish.
The size and dimensions of the nata varies, sometimes mistakable for a hatchet or cleaver.

"Washi wo shinjite" is a meme in the Japanese Higurashi community, referencing Teppei saying "believe in me" like Rena, joking that he was a good guy all along.
The meme exploded in popularity with Gou, but it actually dates back to 2006 when the anime first released.

Each chapter of Higurashi's Question Arcs included a minigame created by BT.
The first was Renapan, wherein Keiichi studied Rena's punches to defeat her. This debuted the Soul Brothers Tommy & Kuraudo, who trained him.
The game is about dodging her punches. (2002-2004)

Ryukishi07 had a different title in mind for Ciconia When They Cry, but he believed it would be too strong of a hint.
He believes that it evokes a strong image, and when the story is finished readers would come to accept the name. (2019)
What do you think it could be?

In the planning stage of Umineko, Natsuhi was intended to have an affair with Gohda, but Ryukishi dropped this idea because his staff didn't like it.

Forgery of the Purple Logic is a manga Umineko arc and the only spin-off to feature the "When They Cry 4" title shared with Chiru.

Mion Sonozaki was at some point meant to die before the GHD in Tsumihoroboshi-hen. (2005)

Higurashi Outbreak first appeared as an audio drama included in the Higurashi Daybreak OST, was then picked up by Studio DEEN for an adaptation, and only then received a VN in Higurashi Hou.
It never received a promised anime conclusion, but Hou completed it with Kamikashimashi.

Worth noting too: Because guns are so rare for civilians to own in Japan, there are no laws barring toys from looking like real firearms. That's why it isn't acknowledged; because it's just assumed it's a toy.

The original doujin release of Tatarigoroshi-hen included a sprite of Satoko completely nude after dropping her towel.
This has since (thankfully) been removed and never returned in any form. (2003)

Rather than "originally", I should say "at some point in development". It's clear the project went through various conceptual stages, as seen with Hinamizawa Bus Stop among other information.

From Hinamizawa Famous Scene Investigation File 100.
Bonus fact, in Japanese, the word used for "director" at the end of Onikakushi-hen and the one used for "coach" are one in the same: "kantoku". This was a hint that got lost in translation.

Stated in Hinamizawa Famous Scene Investigation 100, Mamoru Akasaka was originally intended to die in Himatsubushi after learning of his wife's death, getting drunk, and committing suicide thanks to Hinamizawa Syndrome.
He was originally not intended to be brought back. (2004)

When Higurashi Meguri was first announced it only showed the kanji for "Meguri", which led to many thinking it was called "Jun", the other reading.
It wasn't until this post from Tomato later w/ the pronunciation shown that EN and JP fans alike found out the real name! (2021)

He shouldn't, because Sayo is standing right there.
In the VN/manga, the only people who "see" the corpse are Kanon and Hideyoshi who is an accomplice in EP1.

It's a different fragment. This can be shown in how the way Shion and Keiichi met was completely different.
In the VN, Rika tells Shion "I won't let you torture me *again*," implying that was the outcome in Watanagashi. However the anime removes the "again" iirc
