Part of that is their rather infamous (and highly censored) adaptation of Umineko. It was so bad that the DVD sales were less than 600 copies. As a result, Chiru (the 5th-8th novels) will not see an anime adaptation. It got licensed for a US sub (no dub) last year by Nippon Ichi. The sub removes the censorship in all its gory detail.
On a small side note, the Umineko anime was voted "Worst Anime of 2009" by 2chan.
