My controversial initial reaction on the ... uh, "twist" I guess:
If Ryukishi07 wanted to do a sequel/what if route with highschooler Rika getting involved with a Witches' Game from a character from Umineko, he could have just tried to get Harem Royal/When the Game Ends adapted instead of doing this bait and switch.
Thinking about it more, I so hope that there was a genuinely good idea behind wanting to do this other than keeping the IP in the mainstream consciousness and this was the best way to do it. I won't lie, I am interested in where this is all going, but also dreading it somewhat in the case it all goes sideways. Animated extra content for Higurashi had not been that great in terms of output outside of the Last Period collab (in terms of what I enjoy personally), but I will keep an open mind about it.
