Have you ever bee watching an anime based off of a manga and they were standing around talking for too fucking long when they should have been doing something important?

That scene was stupid in the manga, and it was stupid in the anime. And yet it's not until you see it in anime form that you realize how silly the whole thing is. Sometimes things aren't as offensive when you in one medium, but seem completely ridiculous in another. You can see things in a whole new light in a different medium.

So I decided to check out the Umineko anime to see what all the fuss was about. I read the VN and thought it was mediocre, I just wanted to see this supposedly rage worthy adaptation. Instead of finding a butchered VN, I found a much more important realization:

Umineko is complete trash. All of it. It wasn't as offensive when I was reading the VN, but when you see it animated you realize how nonsensical and shitty the whole thing is. This whole ordeal has left a bad taste in my mouth, I don't know how to explain it.

Anyone have any thoughts?
