First off, I'd just like to say FFFFFFFFFFFFF STUDIO DEEN. UMINEKO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FABULOOOOUUUS. GEORGE = LOL. BATTLER = LOL.

KANON = LMAO.

Females are pretty awwright, though. Especially Shannon and Natsuhi's chests. No seriously, Natsuhi was actually done good. Loving her so far. Eva is the biggest disappointment for me. SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DELICIOUS. ;_; Jessica is acceptable, when she isn't overcome by QUALITY.

Maria... Totally thought her "Uu" was going to be annoying. No. More like HNNNGH FAPFAPFAP. Delicious.

Hm what else... Was LOLing through like the entire episode. The characters are just all so silly and the voices too. It's going to take some serious getting used to. And they're FLYING through the plot way too fast. WHAT THE HELL. I mean, they stayed pretty true to the stuff they did include, but they're slicing off large chunks like you wouldn't believe.

Rosa slapping Maria scene was my favorite in ep1. Way different than expected. I mean that was like... DANG. Found Rosa oddly sexy during that scene too. I'M A BIT CONFUSED INSIDE RIGHT NOW. ;_;

OP = I liked the animation alright. Eva and Maria's face are awesome. Song is seriously lacking. VN's OPs are MUCH better. They shoulda used them.

ED = LOLWUT. The guy singing... GOD. WAT.

Oh man I don't know what else. Looking forward to the subs I guess, to see what they did to the lines. I imagine they're alright. Overall, I am disappoint so far. I'm gonna have trouble watching this for anything other than comedy. Holding out hope for the gruesome scenes and BeatricexBattler stuff. If they keep moving so fast, though, I'm worried...

Summary? LOLSTUDIODEEN. Read the VNs, f'aggots.

The Good: The opening was fairly nice actually. The animation was good and it showed the characters well. Especially Eva. Oh god Eva in the OP is so HNNNGH FAP. Female character designs overall seem to be good. Shannon, Maria, and Jessica are all nice. Natsuhi and Rosa are decent.

Everyone got a boobjob for the anime because holy pomegranate the breasts are massive.

Emotions are also done fairly well. The slapping scene between Rosa and Maria was very... much less than what I expected. The rage of the characters seem to be good too.

Some sounds and music were kept from the VN so thats nice as well.

The Bad: Too many FABULOUS characters. God damn Kanon and George. I think the scenes that had Battler being a pervert were... too out of place. Eva is freaking ugly at some points. It really depends. Epitaph was definitely something I didn't expect, its freaking huge. Gohda and Genji look pretty horrible IMO as well. Kyrie didnt get any lines more or less and Rudolph looks like he could be Battler's brother. OP was changed from the VN, and I personally think its for the worse.

The Ugly: Oh man the QUALITY is really apparent at times. English pronunciations are so horrible. I could understand if they themselves didn't have English names, but its really jarring when someone obsessed with the West cannot pronounce Beatrice. The ED is easily the worst part about the ENTIRE episode. It feels so out of place and the guy's voice makes me want to shave my brain with a cheese grater. The pacing seems to be going like Coke Geyass at this point. I mean, 24 minutes in and already the first twilight? Little to no character development so far? What happened to the scenes before the boat? Hopefully DEEN is just doing this so there's more time for the meta world, or going along the route of Higu, with a short first mindfu'ck first Episode and then slowing down for the rest of them.

The Horrible:[spoiler=Really don't read this unless you want a spoiler.] Other sh'it is fine. But really. The one thing that truly made this bad, thereby ruining the first episode is the appearance of Beatrice in the first episode in the garden. Really Studio DEEN? Nice job just fu'cking over the mystery of the first story. For those of you who are reading this and don't know, the problem is that you're not supposed to ever even meet a physical Beatrice until basically the last 10 minutes or so of Umineko. The first Episode of the VN is supposed to be a mystery. Everyone is confused and they don't know what the hell is going on, BUT while supernatural events are hinted at they are never actually SEEN. This goes against the whole principle of Umineko going further and further into the supernatural as the Episodes (VN) go on. UGH. :|

And seriously FFFFFFFFFFF at Zaotsu's last comments. I fear DEEN really is going to just throw away all the mystery, suspense, horror, etc in favor of the meta-world, witchcraft and Beatrice VS Battler stuff. I mean, that isn't terrible, but it's disappointing. Really looking forward to how they're gonna handle red truth. lol

Forgot to mention how hilarious they pronounce Beatrice's name too. LOL'd tremendously.

Noticed a few other things this time around. Shannon was missing from the picnic, which is stupid. She's the one who told them a lot of about Beatrice. And Rosa didn't say anything during the siblings' attack on Krauss, which is also stupid. They all had equal parts in hounding on him and showing their lust for money. They completely left out each reason they all need money and Krauss taking them apart for it too... Everything is just so rushed. It all has no feeling to it.

The worst thing is how they all pronounce Beatrice. The more I notice it the more I cringe. Why. ;_;
