Oh man, I hope not. You have no idea how many times I nearly gave up on Higurashi during those awful 'club activities' and other pointless hours-long stretches of filler scenes.
Ryukishi's strongest point, IMO, is how he makes completely unpredictable stories, constantly bringing completely new elements and twists in out of nowhere. And for me, Umineko does that a lot better than Higurashi ever did. And even when Umineko was slow, the large variety of characters and situations made it much more interesting than Higurashi's slow parts, which all revolved around the same group of a few people doing the same kinds of things over and over again.
