The cover of the first Japanese DVD compilation released by Geneon Universal Entertainment on October 23, 2009.

The Umineko no Naku Koro ni anime television series is based on the sound novel series of the same name by the Japanese dōjin soft maker 07th Expansion. The episodes, produced by Studio Deen, are directed by Chiaki Kon, written by Toshifumi Kawase, and features character design by Yoko Kikuchi who based the designs on Ryukishi07's original concept, who also wrote the original story.[1] The story focuses on a group of eighteen people on a secluded island for a period of two days, and the mysterious murders that befall most of the people. The 26 episodes in the series aired in Japan between July 2 and December 24, 2009 on the Chiba TV broadcasting network and aired on additional stations at later times.[2] The episode titles are taken from names of chess moves, reflecting on the idea that the entire story is based on the game of chess.

Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes; one opening theme and one ending theme. The opening theme is "Katayoku no Tori" (片翼の鳥, lit. "One-Winged Bird") by Akiko Shikata, and the ending theme is "La Divina Tragedia: Makyoku" (la divina tragedia～魔曲～, lit. "The Divine Tragedy: Demonic Song") by Jimang.[3] Six DVD compilation volumes will be released by Geneon Universal Entertainment between October 23, 2009 and March 25, 2010.
