Without reading the VN, how the hell would anyone keep up with that many characters in a single episode, not to mention they really don't give you a feel for what any of the characters are about.
You should give him several extra assholes if he says the same thing while reading the VN though.
Dude, I have to recommend the anime because he'd never read a VN. He's one of the laziest people known to man, and he hates reading. Especially something as long as Umineko.
Plus he hates developed, intellectual things. It's rare he likes anything NOT fed to him on a silver platter.
Update though: I did get him to realize his mistake and now he's watching the first two episodes. Gosh dang.
