| Looking at the 2chan screens, red web looks very disappointing. Very short (seems to be about a minute long) and there's no web. |
 |
| Really hope VN readers and RAW watchers can restrain themselves from posting anything spoilerish about this episode until subs are out. Just a suggestion to any anime-only people who normally watch Umineko RAW before subs are out, if you want to REALLY enjoy this episode you should wait until subs are out. I also agree to change the 1st picture considering how many people who haven't watched it yet still enter this thread to see how good it was. Edit: Nvm you changed it :) |
| Watched the raw. Roll coaster is what comes to mind. This episode was rushed but every second of it was great. So much emotion and although tracks were omitted, the music was good. We finally get happiness of marionette. By how quickly everything goes by, I expect some anime viewers to be like "What just happened?" It'd be a good idea to watch it more than once to let everything soak in. Most entertaining episode yet. |
| |
| Where do you guys watch this episode? ._. I can't even find the RAW version. |
| That was rather disappointing. Especially Battler vs. Eva-Beatrice. It didn't seem like much was said in red at all. Battler breaking down like that didn't make any sense. And so many other parts were too rushed. Endless Nine part was totally awesome though and so was Ange's arrival. Ange's voice is perfect. I'll have to watch it with subs so I know exactly what they left out. |

| Overall I was happy of how well this adapted the novel moments so far. |

| I need subs too bad~ Dx |
| A little too fast paced. Cut out a TON of dialog from the novel. >_> Still a good episode. I just think it would have been better if they had made this entire part 2 episodes long at least |
| No miragecoordinator... go to hell, this shit isn't worth my time anymore. |

| SEE YOU AGAIN. edit: Also, BernxLambda! I wonder what the new portrait will be. |

| Confusing episode. At first I was very much happy for Jessica and Kanon to be together even if Kanon was a ghost. Then I was sad and shocked about Beatrice's death being really badly injured by the Siestas sisters with so much blood. Then all this red text abuse by Eva-Beatrice added insult to injury for Battler even if at one point he proved that scene with the cigarettes. What was this scene? What in the world did Beatrice do? Welcome Ange and I am happy you finally came into this series with a kick! :D  OmegaDenmad said: I assume most people have already done what I warned about before entering a thread about an episode in this site.

| I'm just curious, are you watching the raws and aren't fluent in Japanese or something? Or is it really that hard to tell what's going on in this episode (I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if the dialogue). |
 |
| A lot of red truth was omitted in this episode. I'll post it and the character TIPS later when the subs are released. |

MarthX said: Oh really, well that proves to never trust a witch. This will crush some fans of Battler x Beatrice. BTW: I love a lot as a fan of this series Ange and if you could PM more information about her it would be nice.

Or is it really that hard to tell what's going on in this episode (I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if the dialogue). I learned some Japanese with a book for beginners of French/Japanese but it is hard to use it with the whole english subs stuff. I tend to understand more when I translate. Good thing a improved on that but I just hate waiting for subs. I prefer to see what happens next as soon as it is possible. vinesage said: wow, Just when I thought I already pretty much figured out everything, I got totally mindfucked again You are not the only one vinesage, I found it confusing also. BTW: can you tell me what Bernkastel said to Ange and the person dying on the bed? |

| wow, Just when I thought I already pretty much figured out everything, I got totally mindfucked again, lol... that was really funny~ and indeed a lot of lulz in this ep anyway, great episode needless to say, and i hardly have any idea how it will continue from this point on, even eva herself confessed to the crime, which is only expected. yeah, maybe the thing about nanjo is a bit weird, no suicide no trap, no 19th person, not jessica, and eva was with battler the whole time, so it must be some trick eva used, but i guess we cant tell anything before we get to see the body~ cant wait for next! OmegaDenmad said: exactly my thought too~ I was like, hmm, they are going to get married already?? lol?Is it me or the ceremony looked like a wedding... oh well, without love it cannot be seen. |

BTW: can you tell me what Bernkastel said to Ange and the person dying on the bed? the dying person is eva, gray haired. well, I guess those murders are just much too for her, if shes thinking about killing her own relatives one after the other for 12 years long, no wonder she would be something like that... Edit: just rewatched that scene again, Bern also said even if Ange should be able to beat Beatrice, it is not promised her family can return. (I think this might indicate that maybe, big maybe, even the author isnt really sure himself how to end this mess lol. *my very personal speculation, dont take it seriously ;-)*) |

| I hope you like Ange because the next arc is all about her. |

MarthX said: totally, she seems fun. :D I hope you like Ange because the next arc is all about her. I guess no battler vs witch next arc? but see how ange's character is, I think she actually has much greater chance than battler. the very first mistake battler make is to believe his own family way too much |

Love her character a lot. vinesage said: francismeunier said: You are not the only one vinesage, I found it confusing also.

Very last beatrice? It means she is the only one left with the families' blood? That is bad. Knowing Bernkastel she would say that exactly (thanks again) because Time/Space/Worlds is her specialty from Higurashi since I am watching it now. vinesage said: the dying person is eva, gray haired. well, I guess those murders are just much too for her, if shes thinking about killing her own relatives one after the other for 12 years long, no wonder she would be something like that...

I want a happy end with Ange being the hero. Yes, that would be so nice since I waited for her character to appear so much. |

francismeunier said: I think why she is jumping off the building is because she is the only left, maybe even eva died there... and bern said too that its because beatrice she is so alone. Very last beatrice? It means she is the only one left with the families' blood? That is bad. "Knowing Bernkastel she would say that exactly (thanks again) because Time/Space/Worlds is her specialty from Higurashi since I am watching it now. " havent watched higurashi, so dont know that :-) "So it is her. A fitting end should I add then. " This is actually exactly what I have been thinking for a few minutes now. This arc is a very weird one from beginning to the end. and fact that they even showed us eva pointing gun at battler is too predictable somehow. plus, now taht i think about it again, the way eva ended seems pretty odd as well... this is just my thought..(speculation time again :-) ) the murders this arc were done way too poorly, the indication is too obvious and one-sided, instead of totally confusing like before. all hints pointing to eva no matter how people look at it. its not that I am having this thought because I think it was too easy to solve for the audience(not only anyway), but rather: this doesnt really fit with eva either. I always had the very strong impression eva was a cunning woman in the 1st arc, she pointed things fast and directly (maybe even coldblood). hmm...well ,guess i cant explain it myself so well either. Anyway, i have the very strong feeling it might have been a trap for eva from the very beginning. |
|
| Eva being the culprit for EP3 feels a gigantic red herring to me. They make it too obvious. Trying to prove that she wasn't would be far more difficult. |
| |
| Well I don't know if any red text has confirmed it, but going by the old theory (and not disproven as far as I know as long as the player is MetaBattler) that anything Piece Battler witnesses is true... Just wondering: I assume Witches Tanabata was released after EP4. When were the Valentine and White Day things released? |
|
| After EP4 too. |
| |
| Hmmm... Hopefully DEEN will animate those as OVAs in between this season and next. Oh, forgot about something else that's sort obvious but anyway: Eva wouldn't have motives for killing George or Hideyoshi, since it would basically screw up everything she tried to build in her life. So at the very least, you would know there has to be another culprit. |
|
| Hahaha, an OVA of the Valentine thing would be quite amusing. |

| The scene with Eva and Battler felt more like Eva losing what was left of her mind after losing Hideyoshi and Goerge. The killings (which she may or may not be involved in but I'm somewhat certain Rosa and Maria were killed by her at least), her fever, Evatrice rambling in her mind and finally the loss of her husband and son lead to Eva snapping and thinking that she was to blame for the murders which lead to her killing Battler in the end. GarLogan78 said: Spoiler tag or not, no matter how insignificant it may be, I think it'd be best if we kept anything and everything from EP4 out of this. |

Wasn't surprised that Beato was evil, since someone already spoiled it for me. =.= But I didn't expect Virg to be all trollish too! I thought she really wasn't evil! Eva shot Battler, right? Sooo... does that mean she's the culprit? Anyway, amazing episode. Loved the music, especially fake red shoes. <3 |

Extra information       Omitted red truth Hideyoshi: I was in the room the whole time Both before and after the time period of the crime Kyrie was thinking that food was unnecessary she claimed that they should not leave the guesthouse [And yet, she herself] suggested that they leave the guesthouse to get food the reason she changed her mind was not told to anyone, nor was it written down Until the last instant before she died, Kyrie preserved her pattern of behavior which states 'not going to get food=not going to the mansion' Kyrie did not leave anything written down Instead of only listing what was omitted, here's all Eva-Beatrice's red truth at the end. Battler is neither the culprit or an accomplice. By this, we can establish a perfect alibi for Eva There are no more than 18 people on this island No life forms other than humans have any connection to this game Kinzo is dead Krauss is dead Natsuhi is dead Hideyoshi is dead George is dead Rudolf is dead Kyrie is dead Rosa is dead Maria is dead Genji is dead Shannon is dead Kanon is dead Gohda is dead Kumasawa is dead Nanjo is dead The 15 people mentioned are dead Battler is alive Eva is alive Jessica is alive Eva was with you the whole time. So committing a crime was impossible for her. Of course, Battler-kun isn't the culprit. He wasn't forging an alibi for her, and he took the possibility that she was the culprit into account, watching her actions carefully. No chance existed for her to do anything suspicious! In short, at the time of the crime, only Nanjo and Jessica were in the servants' room Ushiromiya Jessica has not committed murder She was not involved with Nanjo's murder Her eyes were completely blocked. It's impossible for her to carry out a murder like that Neither Eva nor Battler killed Nanjo, nor were they involved The culprit who killed Nanjo was neither Battler nor Eva nor Jessica Jessica's eyes were completely blocked, and murder was impossible for her No actions caused by Jessica's body had any relation to or influence on the murder of Nanjo This also applies to Battler and Eva neither Jessica nor Battler nor Eva is the culprit who killed Nanjo Nanjo was killed by another person Of course, it was with a direct method of murder, not a trap A weapon was readied, and he was killed with it from point-blank range in front of him! The culprit appeared openly before Nanjo's eyes, and as they both looked at each other's faces, the culprit killed him The red only tells the truth Absolutely no factors other than humans participate in this game board The one who killed Nanjo was definitely a human A human, with their feet on the ground, held up a weapon and killed with it! Right before his eyes! |

| Could someone tell me which character will be in the next epic painting? & Marth, thanks for the extra info! ^__^ |

| EP4 didn't have a new portrait so I don't know what they will do. |
