Umineko anime licensed?
13 years ago
General
Weirdest news I've heard all month. Apparently, NIS America licensed the anime, which makes no sense to me considering how poorly the anime sold in Japan. Less than 1000 copies per volume, or something. Umineko is one of my favorite series, but I like to try and not think about the anime.
Okay, the anime wasn't -that- terrible. Peaked my interest enough to pick up the original visual novel, anyway. As an adaption though, it was pretty bad. I -might- buy the release just because it comes with an art book @_@ Perhaps they're testing the waters and considering licensing the superior Ps3 game adaption? Hell, I'd buy that. I'm already stoked about the licensing of the manga, that I am definitely buying later this year!
It saddens me that America will never get an official release or license of the remaining Higurashi anime. THAT is what needs to be licensed.

even If the anime wasn't as amazing as the novels, I still really want to get it so they might bring over the ps3 version of it, like you mentioned, and then all my dreams would come true!!!!!!
Did they never licensed the second season of Higurashi? o.O
