Umineko is a great anime that begins with a heck ton of potential. Although the plot my be a bit confusing at times and the MC's constant emotion dilemma may cause you to consider dropping the anime I'll advise you not to. The other animes created by the same production may not be all that appealing but I can tell you right now this anime is. It has got nice artwork that can be considered one of the top when looking at the competition and the other animes released at the time. The storyline could do with some more work but I can honestly say that it gave me thrills and moment that I burst with excitement as the MC enters badass mode with the long awaited catch phrase "no good at all" that most mystery animes are missing and most genres of animes are lacking lately.
Warning there are some gory death scenes and the such so I'll tell you now if you don't like watching people die repeatedly or can't handle the stuff this animes is not for you as it is the same people die over and over again.
All in all this animes is (overall) really good and I think it would be for your benefit to watch it.
