Personally I would like to have an anime as I like to have a visual of the scenes (which is why I so love the manga). I doubt someone else that's not DEEN will even produce it but there's to say I would prefer the anime for Chiru to be done better than the one we have...
Also, to be honest, since Umineko was the first part of mystery it was something that was pretty difficult to be turned into an animation which, for time reasons, needed to cut scenes. It would have needed Ryukishi supervising everything and telling them what thye could and could not cut.
And I don't know about the first episodes but I think even if it's possible he was supervising it in the beginning, by the time we reached the end he wasn't doing it anymore. Ep 4 ending is... -_-

Guess you could draw one of two conclusions from this:
a) Either, both Yasu and Tohya might've done something in Prime. They are culprits and can lie. If you don't have an issue with assuming Yasu did something, it might connect Bern's game a bit more with the overall story. Or, if EP1 and EP2 were written after 1986, based upon Yasu's original scripts from before 1986, maybe just Tohya.
b) Might just refer to the self-insert of the author being the culprit in the stories, though this could then only refer to the "original author", since Tohya was the Detective for four episodes. Even though his role changed a tad in EP5 and EP6, sure.
Not saying that this means anything really. It's just a nice little coincidence I suppose.
Well then, Ryukishi. What did you do? Since you are the biggest liar through which the lesser liar Yasu lies to us?  |
Well, the narrator in Ep 1-4 fantasy scenes is likely Beato who's claiming to be the culprit (and he piece and double is the culprit on the gameboard) so, of course, she's lying. I won't tie this to her being culprit in Prime though she likely did something that set in motion what lead to the Rokkenjima incident.
