To be honest, I think the anime was always doomed from the beginning. Since people were able to read the vs novel quite close to the time as the anime came out, or reading it along side the anime's airing, of course it wouldn't be able to live up to the expectations as people had just read "a completely awesome and memorable sound novel with very good build up of it's scenes" and they wanted an anime that was "completely awesome and memorable that did everything perfect, included everything that made the SN so great and memorable" but since the sound novel was SO long that they couldn't possible fit it all into a 26 ep season. Not too mention and the many MANY small things that may or may not have significance to the over all story of umineko, but make it awesome, it's not like they would be able to include everything.
The sound novel was created with no restrictions attached. They could make it how ever long they wanted, come up with what ever they wanted, and pretty much just do anything and it would be original to their story. But in creating an anime, they have so many restrictions, like time, being able to end and start an episode with perfect timing, trying to decide the best places in the story where to stop it for another week. And this is where everyone's opinions would clash with eachother on what would be the best choice.
And then the fan made ending. This also doomed the anime's ending, as it was free of... yet again, restrictions. They didn't have to worry about consistency as it was the only thing they animated. They also could have mad it as long as they wanted, as it was obviously not created for tv airing. They could also include any music they wanted as it was not anything official.
I think the sound novel players are too hard on the anime and kind of ruin it for people who do enjoy it. They should just take it for what it is. The anime isn't horrible and you can't say other wise because that is your opinion, but as long as there are people that are liking it, it doesn't make it truly *horrible*
