| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- x3 play, system0, goldenslaughter, ahahaha.wav (SFX), and stake clanking (SFX). More Maria crazy faces. |
| Unexpectet it started with some comedy. And there was the wapon from Rena in Kanon's hand. (I didn't recognize it in the VN) Oh and because of the fast pacing we have to expect the "Tea party" in the next ep. So I'm happy with this ep. |

| Stakes sound and ahahaha. I'm lovin' it. |

| MACKEREL MACKEREL MACKEREL <3 They get points for keeping the ahahaha and using system0. And Battler hitting Maria made me happy. But Maria's faces were so bad that they actually made me laugh out loud. I liked Maria's song. It would have been funny if she sang the Happy Maria song xD Overall, the episode wasn't too bad. 3.5/5 Since they rushed everything so much they will definitely have time for the |

| THat was a great way to end the episode. Nanjo, Genji, and Kumasawa's deaths highly reminded me of the Blair Witch Project. I think it's safe o say that the scropion charm is a safety charm in a sense. While Kanon's death wasn't by Beatrice, but by human hands. (Atleast he's had the least painful death so far -_-' ) |

| I liked this episode a lot. Murder + Crazy Maria = Fun to watch! And even though I have never played the VN, all this talk of Tea Parties and Bernkastel makes me excited for the next episode. |
| They skipped Kanon pulling the stake out. Booooooooo. |
Zedrane said: They skipped Kanon pulling the stake out. Booooooooo. That's for the DVD Release, in addition to all the uncensored faces back in the Garden Shed (or so we hope XD) No one's mentioning Maria's singing songs mechanically and out of nowhere? That is such a classical element of horror, done to perfection in the VN and still didn't lose its charm in the anime version. |

I'm still waiting for someone to abridge Shion's/Rena's laugh from Higurashi to that scene. :p It would've been nice to know what she was singing though. |
| wow clash and ahaha were really unexpected o_o good job DEEN and now it's finally time for the Tea Parties *wants to do a lot of |
 |
| I for one aren't quite impressed with this episode. I know they want to end this fast, but I didn't really feel much impact from this episode compared to ep3. The depression, sadness and despair from losing more peoples, and the tense from the survivors knowing that they could be the next target. George reaction when he sprang into Eva's chest, lamenting her death was kinda awkward too. The scene about the 4th and 5th twilight also was too short in my opinion. The part I like the most is probably the final 3 sacrificing twilight in the end, which was nicely done, visually. Since it's already reaching the end of Legend of Golden Witch, I guess next episode will be used for Tea party and the Extra, although this might extend further to epsidoe 6. Then come Turn of Golden Witch, the Episode I dislike the most : ( |

| Not bad, though I thought I was told there wouldn't be any more murder cases this episode. Instead Kanon was killed (I was under the impression he was an important character) and 3 more people. That's really rather boring since the epitaph clearly spoils everything and also that those death's won't be permanent. So far I am not impressed with all that anti-climatic spoiling. They could have made this really good by not slapping Beatrice as the culprit right into your face since the beginning. Despite all this I am still enjoying this for what it is. BTW, doesn't the epitaph announce one death per twilight (= night?) in the later parts? Did they compress 5 nights into one this episode? Because for the night of this episode the epitaph only announced the worshipping of her name not a death. Makes the epitaph pretty much a lie with this. Not good. |

| too fast! Everything was done very well besides the beginning with George which just felt awkward... But i was really hoping they would at least save the last twilight's for one more episode so they could go over the epitaph more. But whatever, the sooner they get too episode 2 the sooner i can see more Battler finger pointing and red lettered goodness.

SilentXenocide said: Forever said: The murders have to be carried out during the typhoon, otherwise everyone else would just leave the island. The typhoon is only for a couple days I believe, so 1 murder per night would not work.BTW, doesn't the epitaph announce one death per twilight (= night?) in the later parts? Did they compress 5 nights into one this episode? Because for the night of this episode the epitaph only announced the worshipping of her name not a death. Makes the epitaph pretty much a lie with this. Not good. yeah, I think the typhoon last only around 2 days. As for the twilight, it does not necessarily mean "night" in the sense of the epitaph. Just like the rest of the epitaph riddles which do not necessarily mean what they are (eg village, sweetfish etc). |

| I don't really approve of this whole spoiling things from the VN...But oh well, I dont get them, so who cares XD I am really looking forward to the next episodes. And Maria is really making me shitting bricks XD Singing kids are scary as hell, even scarier when standing in a room with 3 dead people and facing the wall...uuu~ |
| I wasn't that impressed with this episode. It's kinda getting repetitive. |

| I'm still loving it. Damn I wish I could marathon this :/ ... Kanon-kun said: uwa- I died. Damn witch. I lol'd. |

| Ok ok, I get it. This still has a lot in store, right? I will try to stop making (false) assumptions and just enjoy the ride, because making false assumptions seems to only aggravate the VN-reader who can only hardly hold back to spoil things. ^^ Seems this is only good as long as you won't get spoiled by the VN-folks here, so maybe I shouldn't post in here any more. Too dangerous. |
|
| Wo-ho, things are getting more tense... More Maria psycho faces kihihihi... All the twilight now ends... Can't wait for next episode !! |
 |
| mackerel <3 ahahaha.wav and the other one, I forgot the name ...I couldn't stop laughting, but it was meant to be an serious scene...but I just couldn't stop xD the best part of this Episode was when the phone rang and then...just awesome xD Marias song is cute~ I only watched the raw, because I wait for the seacats subs xD I know whats going on so it's okay. I wish I would know what she sings...is it the same song as in the manga? I'm waiting~ xD Can't wait for the next Ep, I'm finally go to see |

Kyu-chan said: Can't wait for the next Ep, I'm finally go to see Yeah, I'm so waiting forward that I'll be seeing my Overall this episode was okay. Kanon - scene at the start was awesome, but a little too short imo. But Maria made lot of nice faces :''D |

| Oh right, bern-chan is in the next episode (if they animate the ????) Looking forward for it. |
| |
| Good Episode, I had my O-Face pretty much on for all of it, which I what I want from a series, and I'm very very impressed with Umineko as stands, even now.^^ |
   |
| maria is crazyyyyyyyyy |
 |
| lol did Maria see the murders happen? |
| This show is just getting better and better *___* |
 |
| I love this <3 |
| hmm just like i said in an earlier episode discussion what if someone faked his/her death >_< as for Maria funny how she was facing the wall when 3 other guys are dead lol |
| Good episode except for a few things. I really found it weird how nobody except for Nanjo did anything to help Jessica when she was coughing like crazy. That part made no sense and just made me go 'wtf?'. Seriously. The second, I wish the anime kept that one line from Natsuhi when she saw George mourning over his mother's death. About how she'll protect all the children. And Battler's mourning as well. Other than that, the episode wasn't too bad. |
 |
| Blah episode. I'd like to be surprised by the show, but I'm just not. Kannon vs. Beatrice is probably the best moment of the series so far...but it really didn't seem like he had died, since it looked like he was still breathing and looking around when everyone came in, but maybe that was my imagination. I just wish Natsuhi had killed Maria. |
| Next week's episode preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9CEhvU2Nb4 Guess who shows up~! |
|
| I enjoyed, however, I have a feeling that if I didn't play the visual novel a week beforehand, I would have likely enjoyed it more... though maria's faces were priceless. Cant wait for the tea party |
     |
| As said before, this episode was totally mindfuck. I'm still shaking. But anyways, if Beatrice actually was the culpit, then I'll be really pissed off because of the obviousness. I really loved Maria's song at the end, even though I hate her. In my opinion, this show is getting more and more interestin' Can't wait for the next one! |
| i wanted Conan Edogawa to pop up at the end :( |
