Yeah but the problem is that the series has YET to actually state most of the important family connections and issues. Yes the VN revealed most of them even before the family started bickering over the iheritance, but the problem is the anime has yet to tackle that, and given it's importance it's probably they'll tackle it at a later date. As such, that's why it's still sort of a spoiler.

I know, I was one of the first ones to point out the family tree on the anime site. =P

Even so, DEEN obviously doesn't find it to be that spoiler-ish seeing as they put spots for them on the tree on the site. Regardless of whether or not they were mentioned in the anime, the viewers SHOULD already know about them by now anyway.

Just because it is there doesn't indicate that it is important. At least not important yet. Having said knowledge doesn't effect the situation from a viewers point of view at this time. Maybe later it might mean something, but right now it would be considered trivia. Or even trivial to some.

All the better for later.

Deen might be trying to do a tie in between the show and the website. Having the site being for TIPS and the show being for events.

Just a possibility. Hard to tell if that's what they're going for at the moment though.

Subtile language contexts don't always translate.

You have to remember that not everyone in this forum understands Japanese speech patterns, if that's what you meant.

Okay even though this is the case?
It doesn't explain when she was brought into the family, what happened to his birth mother, and how those things impacted him which were explained pretty early on in the VN. I realize the first episode had to breeze through facts at the speed of light, but a simple "Kyrie-san" and "Battler-kun" (as well as polite language) isn't enough to explain their relationship beyond "not birth mother and he knows it"

In any case, let's return to the topic. Since the anime doesn't have the liberty to show their TIPS, an official website with those information can be very helpful for the anime-only viewers. Since it's on the official anime page, this is not a spoiler, because it was clearly meant for the viewers.

Also, I think revealing names right now is a spoiler because their names are not officialy stated yet in anime-related media. So all we know right now is that Kyrie is Battler's stepmom, and Kyrie has a child with Rudolf.

I'm amused at how Battler says 「犯人はお前だっ!」 a very cliche line for finger pointing.

And I know someone who does. Even if it's unusual, it isn't a guarantee that they're unrelated.

Yeah, there are some scenes (especially at the beginning) which REALLY drag. But just persevere and you'll be rewarded. (Isn't that what the moral of the When They Cry games usually are, actually? )

I personally don't dig much with innuendo, but this was is over the top, especially considering the context...
