Another great episode. I really like the way this is going :D Nice killing style heh.
Kanon and Jessica's death scene was kinda sad. Although I'm wonder what that thing that came out of his hand was o__o;;
I'm really liking this series a lot. I should find a way to read the VN... *adds Umineko to my endless list of VNs to read*

WTF GOATS?


Also, doesn't it look like when Ed (Elric) transmutes his arm into a weapon?

Nice counter Battler somehow thought of in order to support his belief that witches don't exist. Lol, red text flying everywhere on the screen was great though. Eager to see what happens next.

What the fuck is going on? Bulls with blade that came out of nowhere? Daggers that turns into girls? Lmfao, I don't get it at all. So basically, Beatrice exists.

It's good to see Kanon changing right after he died. He admitted that he isn't a furniture anymore. Too bad he died, again. Also, yea Beatrice got owned. +1 for Battler because he figured that you can do that crime without magic.

Plus, I don't get all these meta thing. It's probably in the VN or something. I also don't get this game. So basically, Beatrice is bored so she's messing up with their lives?

Same here, heck my eyes started to water at their 'last' scene when he was about to tell her his real name, I wanted to hear it too...

Now things are getting nasty for Battler. I'm sure he'll find a way.

Eh.
1) Battler is moving around in a meta world, seeing frozen people (including himself) sitting around. Red text is flying around him or what? And he absolutely refuses to believe in magic. Hm.

2) When Kanon made a red, lasersword-like blade appear and started to fight...that was so unfitting?! Okay, at least in my view. It suddenly switched to supernatural action fight scenes. In my eyes, there was just something...wrong. And it wasn't even much of a "wow!"-effect either. More like "... Oh, yeah. Sure."

Haven't read the VN so maybe it was "so much better" or "comprehensible" in there, but in the anime that seemed kind of clumsy.

Only thing I truly liked was the Kanon-Jessica drama. And that's probably just because I'm a hopeless fangirl of (tragic) romance.

...Battler is the most idiotic character I've ever come across. Seriously, who doesn't believe in witches and magic when it's right there in your face?
Also, goats and lightning swords or whatever was stupid as fuck.

I think I'm gonna drop this one.

I understand the red text thing was an important part of the VN so I don't mind it. What was with those people Beatrice summoned though? They didn't really explain that.

Also, this. v

Seriously what was that furniture battle going on between Beatrice and Kanon. It was nice moment that Jessica wanted that Kanon would call himself human and not furniture. Also where did that Kanon get that weapon and did Kinzo made this weapon for him. I am lost in here.

Beatrice's word game was amusing to watch and once Battler found out that someone took Maria's key in the bag when no one wasn't watching. And locked that chapel door later with it. Beatrice's face was really hilariously finally Battler is proceeding in his investigations.

Red text it really is something unique that hasn't been in any series at all.
Great job Studio DEEN.

For all the guys who complain about not believing in witches since its right there...
Battler stated in one of the earlier episodes that witches exist only if you acknowledge them, thats why he is trying to prove to her that she doesnt exist and everything she does could be done by a human.

I dont understand Battler. He was killed by Beatrice, then he makes the challenge with her, is able to wawtch what happens in another world, Beatrice always vanishes in golden butterflies and now, in this episode, she summoned thos furniture guys with those strange blades out of nowhere and Battler still doesnt want to believe in magic. I can understand that he wants to explain the crimes without magic, but HOW is he going to explain the rest.

This is getting really ridiculous. I can handle the premise of Battler rejecting Beatrice's existence in order to erase her - it requires doublethink, but whatever - yet I'm not sure how I feel about the sudden sword fights, demons designed as cute girls who turn into daggers, red text etc. It feels nonsensical. Still, I'm curious about what happens next.

As someone who didin't read the VN... wtf is going on?

With the inclusion of a 'time-loop', it's turn to a more higurashi turn of events, but not even higurashi left me this confused.

If Battler wanted to prove magic doesn't exist and magic did not kill the Ushiomiya family, then why is he suddenly put into a completely different scenario he has to solve? Surely, he would solve just the first scenario, and why isn't he questioning about this?

And after seeing Beatrice, the meta-world, etc. why is he still convinced that magic does not exist and try to prove against it? I guess he's an ignorant person to the extreme, and my questions will be answered later but... sigh.

I'm finally getting the hang of everything by now. Battler aims to deny Beatrice's magic and existence by using logic to explain the murders (which I think I should've picked up a few episodes ago, but I was still dumbstruck until just now, lol). The meta scenes (as the VN players call it) are giving more of the game feels due to the red truths, and I know it will be an exciting addition to the anime. All the parents died as thefirsts sacrifices, I'm so glad it wasn't Shannon or George. Also, Rosa takes the place of Natsuhi in this arc, and Kanon and Jessica gets offed as the seventh and eighth deaths. They lasted shorter than they did in the first arc but I loved their moments in this arc more. Also, I've said this several times already but why don't they suspect Maria? Like at all? Anyways, I think there are several more people who are aware of the repeating world, which are Maria and Kinzo. I don't know if I remember it correctly but Kinzo said something like "which six have been sacrificed this time", which implies that he knows that there are other timelines where the killings happen.
