Count Me In

This puzzle has gone through multiple versions and tweaks over the last months, but I finally landed on a puzzle that I am very happy about! It's not easy, with some unusual loop logic all the way through. I hope you'll enjoy!
Rules:
- Sudoku: Fill all rows, columns and marked 3x3 regions with the digits 1-9 without any repeats.
- Counting Loop: Draw a 1-cell wide loop in the grid, passing through the centers of some orthogonally adjacent cells. The loop does not touch itself, not even diagonally. A digit on the loop indicates how many times that digit appears on the loop.
- Arrows: A digit in a cell containing an arrow counts how many loop cells are in the indicated direction (not including the cell with the arrow). Multiple arrows in the same cell counts loop cells independent of one another.
Ratings and comments are very much appreciated. Thank you for playing!
Lösungscode: Digits on the loop in row 6 from left to right

Excellent puzzle! I was wondering why it was rated 5 stars when I started solving, and a little later, I understood why. Great setup and great tricks! Thanks :)

Wonderful! Figuring our which digits appear / don't appear on the loop was very satisfying.

Very nice, lots of fun with this puzzle! The difficulty level is just around 3 stars though, in my opinion. Thanks

Had a great time testing this one, I remember using the word "wild" as a term of endearment more than once.
