Back when the Umineko page only had a Beatrice portrait up and some other stuff (iirc), I thought it just wouldn't be my thing.
Then comes EP 3 / 4 along and everyone hyping it on the boards here, so I decided to give in and stuck with it ever since.

I can understand what >>6760124 said, as a story about adults bickering about a heritage wouldn't appeal to the people who were watching Higurashi for the cute girls and throat scratching.
Though the whole Magic rollercoaster thing after EP3 probably would, but they never end up there because they quit after (or even during) EP1.

So I finished episode 8 and I must say that it wasn't as bad as most people here are saying. We didn't find out the ultimate truth, some things were left unexplained and the end of the final battle was a bit shounen-ish, but overall it was quite enjoyable. It had some of the best fighting scenes in the series and the music was top notch as usual.
I don't have any particular complaints about the ending (????). It actually was quite emotional and bittersweet despite amnesia being a very nasty move from R07. Also, I didn't notice what was the basis of popular claims that Battler thought up everything and meta world never existed. It was never stated that what we read and what Touya wrote was the same in the first place. And some reminiscences heavily imply that at least Ange's backstory in episode 4 actually happened in the real world.

Well, to be fair, it was never actually confirmed that Erika died after falling from the boat. Just that she disappeared, and was assumed dead. So some people are suggesting that she simply changed her identity and met (or re-met, if there's any truth to the suggestion Erika's unfaithful ex was actually Battler) Battler and helped him after he lost his memory. Erika appears in Eps 5 and 6 in part as an homage to her old self, who was obsessed with 'truth' and didn't understand love.
