You will regret that sorely. The visual novel is much better, and it's going to be a pain to reread the same stuff. You don't have to read it all in one go, so why not?

Go through it again. The beginning of the Episode 1 is about 15 minutes lang, and it was all cut from the anime.

The anime just shows the plot in a compressed/rushed manner. It's just a rough spoiler of the VN's plot.

You should stop wating it, and play the first 4 episodes (the VN). You can watch the anime after that if you want. You can then play the fifth (and sixth when it's done translating), which hasn't been adapted yet (probably won't be until the series ends, which won't until the 7th or 8th episode).

The licensed English releases use stock music, yeah, but the originals used tracks by dai and SB-YUNE and the rest.

>I haven't read the Higurashi VN yet

Cool story bro. For the record the Higruashi VNs are much better than Umineko.

Also no it's not stock music. Kai actually has a really good soundtrack, though the question arcs could use some better music (a few songs are good though).

I know what you mean, sort of. The adaptation doesn't lose much storywise. Well, not early on, at least, but I didn't watch the last few episodes and I heard it gets bad there.

For me, though, the thing that makes it pretty bad is how lifeless it is. Even just the overall atmosphere felt dead compared to the VN, but more importantly the music is pathetic. I don't know why they chose to remake the music to be as boring as possible, but as far as I'm concerned that's all it took to make the anime suck.

Still, I do think that to some extent, the huge amount of hate for the anime adaptation of Umineko is just a meme.

The hate comes from the later parts. The early parts were fine (for an anime adaptation). In later parts, they flat out drop scenes they don't like.

It's kind of a love/hate relationship, actually. Lots of people dislike the series, and most of us can agree that we are faggots who are terrible at keeping all of our shit in one thread. But it's fun to come up with theories, even crack ones, and working things out with other anons can actually be entertaining sometimes. Lots of us are also way too emotionally invested in Umineko, and Ryukishi's writing can go from making you laugh because it is pathetic to OH GOD BEATO ;__;.

Also, if you get into the VNs, you can experience the unique mindfuck of judging things by spoilers and trying to figure out which demon twin has the penis.

It also makes me amazingly glad I didn't start Umineko until after five episodes were translated, because I would have fucking strangled someone after that had there been no more to read.

The art is not actually bad at all. It 'looks' bad if you've only seen individual pieces, I suppose, but it grows on you amazingly quickly and fits the story and is actually rather expressive.

Around EP2 in the anime it really started to go downhill, but it pulled up a little in EP3 - though that might just have been DEEN's quality crazyfaces. But EP4 just...EP4, man.

Battler gasped and dropped Umineko. She fell off the balcony.

"NOOOOOOOO! UMINEKO!"

Battler lifte his feet off the ground and flew down to save her just before she hit the ground.

"Battler-chan. You saved my life. Why?"

"Beccause I am in love with you!"

"But we are from different worlds! You are from the dead world, and I am from the normal one! How can we be together!"

"I will always be with you in spirit!"

They embraced and the waves rolled on them.

"Oh Battler-chan! Oh Battler-chan! Oh Battler!-chan" Battler said and Battler gave a moan of pleasure.

Then Battler put his penis into her clitoris. Umineko felt good down there.

Battler thrusted his penis one last time and he came. She came too. Then they flew down to the ground.

"We will always be together, in many ways."

They were just walking into the mansion when they heard a certain voice coming from behind them.

"Hello, lovebirds." She muttered.

It was Beatrice!

A lot of people consider the Umineko anime to be really bad and the Higurashi anime to be a disgusting misrepresentation... From my perspective they didn't do too bad on Higurashi, for the most part you'll get whats going on, sure there is a lot missing, but an intelligent person can still understand whats going on. In Umineko however it's very watered down and you're missing a lot of information, making some things very confusing when they weren't really meant to be that way. So from an the point of the viewer Umineko is a pretty shitty experience.

All in all like everyone else I'd recommend the visual novels, but with Umineko I'd consider the anime to be more of supplemental material for people who are already fans. The Higurashi anime on the other hand, is capable of standing on it's own... although the VN is still much better.

>>5152614
True that, true that. The Higurashi anime might be shit, but it can stand on its own and be somewhat comprehensible if you haven't read the VN.

Umineko's anime, on the other hand, isn't even the fun kind of clusterfuck if you haven't read the novels.

I think he was referring to adaptations. Certain J.C. Staff adaptations are fine when you haven't read the source material, but are really bad when you have. DEEN does terrible adaptations much of the time, or at least does badly enough on the bad adaptations that they overshadow the good ones.
