Higurashi/Umineko > RGD > Higanbana > Ciconia

I didn't care for it and I honestly felt like I was pushing myself through it instead of just enjoying it. I recognize people have their own taste and preferences, but I just dont see what it is that people like so far. It's mediocre at best. I know its the first chapter and it'll probably get better, but I loved the first chapter of Higurashi and Umineko. This just feels so weak and meandering like it doesnt know whats its going for. All the characters are just there. The events that unfold have no impact except during the last half hour. The actual story seems cool, except you only see bits and pieces of it burried beneath vapid character interactions. The music is alright but nothing really memorable yet, might need to listen to the OST again. Art is good, exception being the terribly out of place animated gifs. I just can't bring myself to care for it. I'm hoping that phase 2 will help me to, because at this point, all I've gotten out of reading phase 1 is remaining up to date in discussions and adding another an entry to my vndb.
