Uhm first episode 6 people found dead without faces cause they were torn off....mhhh I like your "non horror" xD too bad here it says "Genres: Mystery, Horror, Supernatural, Psychological" here :D |

JackFrost said: It's not supposed to be about killer lolis, since the source material of this series never had any killer lolis. Maria's creepy faces are just overexaggerated and unnecessary and have little to do with the rest of the series, especially considering that she is the only character that ever has them. Also, there are horror elements associated with this series (namely the brutal nature of some of the murders), but that is not what this series truly emphasizes, as you'll find out in the later episodes. Yup. There are horrifying parts, but the majority of it is about logic and mysteries. Specifically those of the closed room variety. With plenty of suspense and mind fucking. |

| One wise word one person told me:"Whatever" |
|
| I really didn't understand why only some of them came back to life, or even if they were alive, for the tea party. |
Zilpzalp said: Yes, Maria is a bitch and she is annoying as hell. I would join the Maria fanclub right now if it weren't from VN spoilers. I swear I hate you VN fans out of jealously. It also adds insult to injury that I've tried downloading the VN several times only for it to not work. Case in point: That doesn't look like a working version of Umineko to me. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| That's just the English patch, you still need the game. |
| You need to download/buy Episode 4. (Episode 4 contains 1, 2, 3 and 4). It's 1.37 GB If you find Episode 5, don't get that one. 5 doesn't have the previous 4. |
 |
| Saying is very easy. Let's hope I manage to do this time. Yes, I am aware that Episode 4 contains the previous ones, thank you. |
Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I hope you can get it work (: And it should be okay to join the Maria fanclub. Just don't look at the club pictures |
ukonkivi said: R-Rika-chama?:o And oh all you little people who have played the games and read the manga, making all these spoilers and little future event related in jokes and references. This. You people are annoying beyond belief. Why can't you talk just about what you saw pretending you don't know what's next so you won't spoil the fun for others. What part of this: "THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE." don't you understand? Anyway suddenly i saw Rika from Higurashi and i was like WTF!. So the similarity in the titles isn't just coincidence. So i guess now they will all be back to life and killed again until Battler discovers the truth or admits that the witch is doing it? That's too much of a HIgurashi. And i have to agree with noteDhero when he say that by putting Beatrice talking to Rika/Bernkastel is like they are saying to us that she is real. |

| But it never said anything about discussing the VN. Also, I know whats going to happen next and it is awesome. Even more awesome if someone invented small bombs. |

| I really like the way the show is going so far. With Battler trying to prove the whole thing through logic and all. |
     |
| Here is the "Most Suspicious Poll" for EP1 http://when-they-cry.net/Cgi/vote/umi_doub1/kekka.htm |
| Maria rants way to much, it's getting really annoying... through every episode i kept hoping she dies, but no. The ending was much to confusing, are they dead, or what..? There's a witch who looks sorta like Rika from Higurashi, who talks directly to the viewer. Battler is the one person in the show who i care for and is the most logical. I want him to figure it out, because if it was all done by Beatrice, then it would be much to boring. I really just want them to point at Maria and go: "SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING SHE DRAWS THE SYMBOLS ON THE DOORS IT MUST BE HER!!" That would be the best thing ever... :D Yet, there's only one way to find out what really happens next. *continues marathon* |
 |
| The post is filled with people who don't know how to shut up about the VN. WHICH IS NOT IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS THE ANIME. Anyway, completely confused.... So was that Rika at the end? I kinda wanted to believe that witches don't exist, but they had to go and show that scene at the end. Way to go... Guess I'll be rooting for the losing team then. |
     |
| Beatrice is the old fart cross dressed, case closed. jkn If Batter wanted to know if there really was 19 persons in the island all he had to do was kill everybody. If he survived, then the culprit was one of the 18 persons inside the mansion. Jokes aside. I deny Beatrice's existance as well... Everything there could be done by humans. |
 |
| Woah, I'm really confused now. What just happened? :| |
| So, the character at the very end of Kai was Bern I take it? |
| We don't really know what happened, but Beatrice's appearance was cool, and Battler's resolve even cooler. |
| Why did some ppl ressurect and is that rika at the end?? Wtf is 'bern'? |
arnxx said: Why did some ppl ressurect and is that rika at the end?? Wtf is 'bern'? No, that was not Rika. 'Bern' is a nickname for Bernkastel, which is that person in the end. |
| Great episode, and much better pacing than the previous ones. Eagerly awaiting to watch part 2 ^^. |
 |
| I am prolly the only one that has missed something...to whom did Bern speak to? First arch finished, man I see the Higurashi style here that keeps me watching :D |
F4it said: I'd say you are prolly not, if only you read the posts in this thread~ ;-)I am prolly the only one that has missed something... |
     |
| Okay, what the fuck is going on? So witches really exist? What the hell? Why did all the dead people returned alive? Who was that purple haired girl in the end? Was it like Rika from Higurashi? What the penis was that?! and wasn't that girl "Beatrice" one of the master's daughter? Isn't she the mother of that guy who likes Shannon? or it's kist a look alike? Okay, I'm totally confused. This gives the same feeling as Higurashi. I hope I get answers on the episodes that will follow. Oh, and go Battler-kun! I know you can do this, lol. >:3 |

| Beatrice finally arrived... the interminable witch... |
| hmmm Beatrice's voice wasn't what I had in mind. She sounds so old, too mature for my liking (even though technically she's supposed to be over a 1000 years old) Bern looks good, I'm glad Yukari is doing her voice. |
| higurashi add; Confused..., so they died and rebirth even if they didn't found the gold? or what? i know that the 'presents' agree with the note next to Beatrice's picture, because their lovers rebirth. |
| Is Bern practically Rika in another world? Other than that, confusin episode. Guess I'm gonna have trouble with this like I did with Higurashi :D But so far I'm enjoying everythin. |
 |
| aww her mother died!!! but it was all a story right???. . .or afterlife???. . .did it even happen!!!???... im so confused now!!! but i CANT keep seeing Kanon die!!! its 2 much ='( this is really confusing... and interesting... i guess... as long as Kanon is alive again ill still watch it ^.^ |
 |
| So I'm confused here ..I mean how the HELL did Shannon & Kanon get revived? AGH Is this some sort of a game that is playing the mind of Battler's because he didn't believe that witches exist? Seriously I refuse to believe that they exist too so I'm with Battler although I got to say that Bern & Beatrice are very pretty.& I don't know why but I have this thought that it's all Maria's doing. But I was happy to see Kanon alive again until he died again .Also I'm starting to like Battler.He's becoming more interesting. |

 Love is filled with mystery |
| Bernkastel = Rika-chama :o ? Battler is kind of stupid , but it only makes me laugh more.. |
Mikitea said: Starrlightx3 said: Woah, I'm really confused now. What just happened? :| Me too. >.< Didn't really get this episode at all. Same here, it's like BAM Kanon and Shannon are back then BAM they're all 'melting' away? Did they even die? I don't understand. Beatrice's appearance was epic. |
| ...This stinks of time loop. Again... |
| my gut tells me i'm going to be very confused come next episode, but when the series ends i'll be just fine, just like higurashi. |
| Did I just see grown up Rika? lol I was sort of confused at one point but slowly caught on because of my experience watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. :D |
 |
| wtf |
| Damn, this is more confusing and mind-fuck filled than Higurashi. |
| where's the nipaa from bern lmao.....for those wondering if bern is rika...look it up in a wiki related to them lol :P |
  |
| So Rika is in adult form and knows Beatrice and Beatrice knows Rika as some kind of powerful Witch named Bernkastel. Oh know I was so sure this is not going to start from beginning but I guess it's going to go that way. My question is now that did Bernkastel made that alternative future where everyone was okay too. And because Battler couldn't solve the mystery in time she reset everything and now he going to solve it again. I don't know this is just crazy. But that's why I love this show let's hear once more or who knows how many times Battler's theories again. Now if this going to be similar pacing like Higurashi let's see how long this is going to continue. |

Bernkastel isnt Rika. |
