It isn't that bad, kind of didn't like the fact they took out the mystery of whether Beatrice exists or not for the first Episode by showing her in the garden. I thought they were going to keep it like Higurashi on the creepy factor, guess not and they're jumping straight into the fantasy.

I'm glad that I read the VN before watching this episode, because otherwise I really wouldn't know why I should give a damn about these characters or what happened to them. Seriously, the first chapters of the first episode of Umineko showed us who these people were, their relationships with each other, and gave them time to develop as characters. So we don't really get to see the friendship between Nanjo and Kinzo, and only get the slightest insight into Kinzo's motivation. Cutting down that scene also removed the first chess metaphor in the story. By removing the banter between the cousins, and between the adults and each other, Studio DEEN has made the characters seem less human, and thus removed any real incentive that the viewer might have for not wanting to see them die.

Maybe DEEN wanted to quickly advance the plot along, get past the exposition and to the "good parts" of the story. But it was only after getting to know the characters in the first episode that we really cared what happened to them. And it was the realitively easy-going banter and slice-of-life-ishness of the earlier parts of the first episode that made the sudden onset of murder and violence seem so shocking. If I had watched the anime without reading the VN at this point all I could think to say would be "Who the hell are all these people, and why should I care?"

No they didn't. This entire episode just felt like one long "Previously on Umineko"-style summary. While it wasn't completely awful it certainly did fail at introducing the characters in any depth. DEEN have more than enough room to do that and still tell the story of the VNs, unless they're planning on doing what they did with Higurashi and cramming a ridiculous amount of content into a single season. It's not like they have to go from one extreme of long drawn out introductions to the other of no introduction at all.

Can you name another show that did a better job of introducing this many characters with "depth"? I don't have much faith in DEEN, but I do know that since Ryukishi07 used an entire episode for his introduction, then we should give DEEN until at least the Tea Party.

And the other benefit of this anime which I haven't seen mentioned as of yet is that the necessity of content cuts aids us as to which scenes are most important in solving the mystery. Example: Natsuhi confronting Eva. Their exchange was conserved nearly verbatim, which likely means that it has more significance than something like Battler helping Kanon with the wheelbarrow, for example.

I'm not saying that the whole show is ruined. Of course it is possible that from here on the show will get better, that all of the cut character development will be moved to later episodes (though this would require a bit of plot reworking). Judging the first episode by itself it was pretty mediocre, though of course the next episodes could be better. Hopefully with Ryukishi07's close involvement with will be the case.

People seem to forget that you are supposed to get hooked by the first episode of a series. VN Umineko Episode 1 was about 8 hours of content, which left plenty of time to do both drawn out character introductions and hooking the reader with the plot.

The first episode of the anime on the other hand is only 20 minutes of story. If they had spent all the time animating the scenes of the VN we wouldn't reach a single interesting scene. Which means that anime only viewers wouldn't even bother waiting one week to see if anything interesting happened but dropping it instead. For this reason I expected the anime to rush all the way to the first Twilight by episode one, which would have been horribly rushed but neccessary to hook the viewers.

But I'm positivley suprised that they didn't go that far, and gave every important scene enough time to keep the original story unchanged. The pacing was brisk, but was intruiging none the less. The feeling of being overwhelmed by the plot and character relations was what made anime Higurashi interesting to me despite butchering the original VNs at times.

At this point I think that you're a troll who hasn't actually read Umineko and who would dismiss any evidence of character development as "insignificant". But whatever.

Most of Kinzo's and Nanjo's conversation establishing their friendship, as well as showing Kinzo's contempt for his children. George and Battler's banter establishing their friendly and mostly non-filial relationship to each other. George's calming influence on Maria establishing his role as a rational peacemaker among the cousins (pretty much anything to do with George was cut out). Battler's banter with Kyrie establishing their relationship to one another. Battler's animosity toward his dad. Battler's groping Jessica and Shannon was kept, but not the remorse he felt when Shannon didn't resist. Battler helping Kanon with the wheelbarrow was cut. So was Gohda's setting Shanon up to take the blame for being late with the tea, and Natsuhi scolding her. These scenes all helped to flesh out the characters, to give them personality and establish their relationships to each other. And they were cut.

inb4 none of those scenes were important, etc.

Protip: these are introductions, not developments and given the scope of what can be accomplished in twenty minutes, most of these could be cut because a later scene conveys the same message.

Case by case:
>Most of Kinzo's and Nanjo's conversation establishing their friendship

More of the prologue would have been nice, but at that pace, they would require 1-2 more episodes to finish Ep 1. Besides, the most important parts of that scene (Kinzo's remaining lifespan + the Witch) were maintained.

>showing Kinzo's contempt for his children

His speech to Krauss demonstrates this eminently.

>George and Battler's banter establishing their friendly and mostly non-filial relationship to each other.

There's plenty of this in the story.

>George's calming influence on Maria establishing his role as a rational peacemaker among the cousins

It was foreshadowed by his involvement with the rose and doubtless will be explored later when the serious events actually begin unfolding.


>(pretty much anything to do with George was cut out)

That's because the next episode is going to give him/Shannon center stage.

>Battler's banter with Kyrie establishing their relationship to one another. Battler's animosity toward his dad.

The talk he has with Kyrie after dinner can fulfill both of these conditions with no problems.

>> No.2881248

>>2881217
>Battler's groping Jessica and Shannon was kept, but not the remorse he felt when Shannon didn't resist.

This is an important aspect of his character, why? Does this ever influence later events? Do we often see this side of Battler compared to the "slice off your cow tits and make me a sandwich Breast Sommelier" Battler?

>Battler helping Kanon with the wheelbarrow was cut.

This indicates that the scene isn't essential to solving the mystery and is likely a red herring.

>So was Gohda's setting Shanon up to take the blame for being late with the tea, and Natsuhi scolding her.

I liked this scene because it messed with the "incompetent, but cute maid" cliche; she's actually quite good at her job, but makes mistakes under pressure. That said, episode 2 features a similar incident, but involving George (the character with whom she receives most of her development) which means they most likely will introduce this aspect there.

>These scenes all helped to flesh out the characters, to give them personality and establish their relationships to each other. And they were cut.

If you've been given a deadline of five episodes to finish Ep.1, you can't afford to spend screentime on superfluous events or on plotlines which are explored in later aspects of the story. Wait till the tea party before passing judgement.

Now if Studio DEEN actually goes and adds those scenes in later then everything will be just fine. That would require some reworking of the plot but with Ryukishi07 being heavily involved in the production there's a chance that everything will work out alright. But now we're talking about the potential for future episodes. Maybe DEEN wanted to postpone the introductions and get right into the plot to get new viewers hooked. But just going by the first episode the characterization was sparse.

Who's passing judgement? We're talking about the first episode and how the anime is unfolding so far, not how it's going to unfold.

This is true for everything, and doubly so when you have so many characters.

And you're really overestimating the amount of "reworking" that needs to be done - Umineko has enough repetition (to the point of people complaining about it) that DEEN can omit one event and use another one already in the story because it fulfills the same narrative intent.

One thing I did not like was how Rosa was depicted as a bitch from the time of introduction. She was supposed to give the kindhearted impression out of all the parents at first.

And yeah a lot of interaction was cut, the problem however is they did it on the first episode, changing the first impressions drastically.

However it was mostly stuff I can see Ryukishi07 removing if he had that kind of limits though.

Also, Beatrice. She shouldn't have been introduced. That garden scene destroyed the feel of mystery and will weaken the reception of Battler's theories.

There is a point to having adaptions that are not carbon copies of each other, the developers too would no doubt be supportive of minor differences that still maintain the canon etc, of the series.

It maintains interest in the original, why would someone who became a fan through the anime go on to play the game if every facet of the game was explored through the anime? Well maybe some hardcore fans would. Anime is to VN's is what film is to books. They want the people who are interested in getting the full story to go out and buy the game and play it and fill in w/e gaps were left.

There are more reasons but I know that it'd be tl;dr.

Showing Beatrice was a huge mistake. Part of the suspense of Episode 1 was never seeing her in the main game.

The character art and VAs leave a lot to be desired, but at least Ono did a better job than I was expecting. I think they did a good job trimming down the narrative to a reasonable size, other than starting off with them reaching the island (the introductions weren't handled well either). It also might seem disjointed for someone who hasn't read the VN. Overall not too bad though.

They didn't explain family relationships very well. Just watching the first episode, Hideyoshi seems to be one of the siblings, especially since he calls Krauss nii-san.
