If they tried a movie, it wouldn't be long enough. If they tried an anime, it would rely too much on the end of the series and have boring episodes. As for Yasu, they can just make an intentionally androgynous character with blonde hair. Give her a little kid's voice to mask the gender and you're set. I personally don't think an Umineko Chiru anime is a good idea, but I hope they make it anyway so I can see my favorite scenes animated |

I still want them to make an anime, because, as enjoyable as the VN was, the fighting scenes were horrible to read about (for those, I'd prefer flashy animations rather then text). Not to mention the fact that I want to see how Will and Lion will look animated.

Another thing is DEEN might not want to do Chiru because one of the things they had a lot of fun with was messing with the horror/murder aspects of the series like they did in Higurashi. And Chiru practically spells out for you that it doesn't intend to focus on that at the very beginning.

And because people never read the sound novel, those people missed out on a good chunk of the plot and Rei ended up making zero fucking sense and they got a cheap ending that wasn't as satisfying as it could've been.
And that's not even taking into Umineko's importance on how plot points can rely on exact and specific wording or imagery and doesn't allow even a tenth of the type of flexibility other franchises would for an anime adaptation.

What this needs is a director who isn't afraid of taking apart the episodes and laying down a different order for the stories... sorta like the changes for the LoTR movie. You weren't going to make the audience sit through 30 mins of discussion about what to do with the ring. 8) But this would lead to a lot of complaints and grumbling by fans, for sure.
For example, you might want to take EP7, and break the two stories down into parts, and intersperse them between the stories of EP5 and 6. Etc. So it takes a very, very skilled director, to look carefully at the story, extract the themes, the message. This is NOT... Chiaki Kon. |

As for the Deen perspective, I think people overestimate the importance of Umineko. DVD sales have no immediate impact on the studio since they never invested in the first place. If the show succeeds, Deen's reputation for producing hits improves and the demand for their services might increase. If it fails, they risk pissing off a client. Nevertheless, in either scenario, they lose money if they spend beyond the allotted budget (even if Frontier Works were to sell a million DVDs), which was probably pretty low. At the end of the day, Umineko is just a filler project. Deen churns out loads of these (Umineko would've started at a time when there was no shortage of projects, but even now, Deen doesn't seem to be in need of work. They're very successful with fujoshi shows, and Unlimited Blade Works proves that they can pull off a popular, big budget otaku movie. In particular, the latter has far greater impact on future business than Umineko, especially when the industry is shifting toward theatrical features) at low cost, and they only need a few hits to prove to investors that they can make money for them. |

What I'd do for Yasu would be:
A) You see everything from her visual POV, and see words when she speaks, but other characters are voiced. B) Again, her POV, with the voice of Beatrice, Claire, or Lion.. or something like that. I'd love for Yasu to just be shown though. |
