Ep 1 - I thought the anime was going to be bad, but I didn't know it'd be that bad. I'm glad they kept with Akiko for the OP because Umineko wouldn't be it without her lol. Th song was nice, but the graphics were a bit...still. (I really liked it when they showed the aquarium scene though uuuuu ;w; ) and two Battlers? EH EH EH? ISN'T THAT FISHYyyyyy? LOL just joking (only some of you will understand sob).
Nnn, I think they wasted the chorus with Beatrice's scene... but overall, the op wasn't thattt bad. The ending however, horrible. The only thing I liked about it was Beato and Battler sitting on the chair /fangirl.

I feel sorry for those who don't play the game, because I bet they're confused with the amount of characters being introduced all at once. I forgot, did Battler mention who's parents are whose? lol. Anyways, the pacing was so off it wasn't even funny. The scenes just jumped one after another. (I think the guesthouse should've at least been addressed imo)

Random notes:
-George looks...really skinny HAHA (not use to it)
-Kanon was totally bishounenenenenen-ized LOLOL. I was waiting for Battler to help him carry his things when he dropped it but they cut it SOB
-tits are sure emphasized
-I love love love their voices. I think they all suit perfectly. Except maybe Kyrie... she sounds so...womanly. Maria's "Uuu" was pulled off alright, but she's really, really annoying. Rosa sounded more like Kallen in the drama CD LOL.
-I was surprised the meeting and the parents intentions were revealed so early. They should've showed more of how the parents are first(they have great personalities) before they started barking about the money
-the old people look wieerdddddd. No, the drawing is weird in general. (Battler has huge eyes LOL. MOE, MUCH??)
-I get so giddy when they use the game's BGM
-the clock and window breaking thing wasn't as cool as I imagined. I'm glad they put it in though

Did I ever mention I hate studio DEEN? I've always hated the animation for higurashi. They have the worst drawn facial expressions. I'm sad DEEN had to take up umineko. Now I know I'm going to come across retarded Maria expressions sigh. I know it's hard to cram a long story line, but the cutting was just so off. I think the could've done better...

Oh so they're going to cram episodes 1 and 2? Or are they cramming 1-4 in the whole season? (please dear god no)

I CHANGED MY MINDDDD. I don't want to see Ange, Amakusa, Sakutarou, the stakes, siestas, and demons+witches ruined. AHHH DON'T ANIMATE THEMMMM.

UMINEKO 4TH GAME...........CLEAREDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!

I wonder how many hours it took to play the whole series.... I'm not sure how I survived the agonizing repetitive dialogue in the first 3 games. The fourth one didn't do it as much at least.

Anyways, for those who played the latest game as well, what did you think? (For those who haven't, I don't suggest you read these lol)

I personally can't wait for the answer arc. I'm so sad it'll be a while until it comes out though OTL.
I noticed I don't have a favourite character too. I don't hate anyone either. I like everyone ;n; (...W-well, if I had to choose, I don't like Kasumi very much)

Also, some people say it's more scarier than Higurashi? If so, Higurashi must not be very scary because Umineko wasn't at all. (It's cute how there were so many Higurashi easter eggs)I admit, I got emotional at some parts..../dork. (I blame the music. The music is awesome)


ANIME IS COMING OUT SOON!!! I know it's going to suck I just know ittttttttttt OTL. Other than that, I'll watch it for sure!!!
