Umineko no Naku Koro ni

So I just finished first episode... And I'm disappointed.
I heard a lot of good things about it, and I enjoyed Higurashi, so I went in with high expectations, only to be seriously let down. I don't really care about any of the characters, writing is poor and direction uneven. Character designs might look good in concept, but(poorly) animated they look ugly. Some parts were so bad that they became good again... When Natsuhi went to cry in the corner I just burst out laughing. And even when the loli got bitchslapped I didn't really care. (oh, and question to the people who played the game: does her retarded manner of speech has something to do with seagulls?)
On the other hand, OP and ED are kinda nice, and I sure wouldn't mind watching most of the characters die horribly.
My question is, to the people who played the visual novels: Is anime a good adaptation, and I just don't get it, or did the good points get lost in translation? Or maybe it's supposed to suck at the beginning only to get better later?

Hmm... that's too bad. I had really been hoping that this would be a good one, because I liked Higurashi a lot and the concept sounded pretty interesting.

Hopefully, any of the parts that can improve will over the course of the next episode or two, but things like bad animation aren't really going to change.

Is CoalGG the only group subbing this right now, btw? Even with a bad review, I still want to at least check it out for myself, but I also want to wait until I have a good idea of who is going to be working on it...

Fansubwiki sez: gg & Coalguys, SEACATS, ainex, WinD.

This is my first Higurashi anime I'm watching so I didn't had any expectations. I liked it, and I think it could get better in the next episode... especially when she comes at the ending^^

Battler looks much like Phoenix Wright to me.

Nikran:
.........shit. I was hoping that this would match Higurashi; Would have been very well entertained if this had been the case. But i suppose we can't say it's a failure until we get into the full swing of the storyline. Frist eps are a major hit or miss imo when it comes to animes and i'll continue to hope that this series will become something great despite a weak start.
