Poor Lucia D:
At least she's alive...I would of been pissed if she died like that.

Akane feels slightly out of character. Meanwhile, there's also the other girls working together including Lucia. Kagari's role in this episode is also noticeable for her narrative about their world. Still, I'm really glad to see Lucia doing much better now.

Kotarou is really a jerk. 1-They do not care about Lucia and Shizuru 2-Lucia sacrifices himself for Kotori and especially for "Kotarou" At the moment that it is spirit to have fun with Kagari and Kotori (I hate them it is character girls) Key really makes from preference, I understand why he(it) is criticized for these persos stupid(weak) as Kotori
3-Kotarou in madman completely of Lucia and Shizuru On sees good that Kotori Akane and Chihaya are well advanced and Lucia and fast forgotten Shizuru irritates His(Her,Its) me. For once that in one of these works of "Key" I finally stuck with persos. Lucia and Shizuru but seen how they are erased and badly developed. Tssss

I thought this original route would be good since Romeo wrote it.

But this doesn't feel like Rewrite at all. I don't know what Romeo is doing with all this fanservice.

This anime is a flat-out disaster.

As expected Lucia is not dead, I guess it won't say it anymore further since it's obvious.

Anyway, I don't understand anything about the first part. The explanation's dull, I don't know what it is trying to convey since it's all mixed and messed up.

And also as expected, they will throw suddenly some "serious" part at the end while the rest are mostly comedy. It seems I get it now the formula of every Rewrite episode.

Meh, I still praise this for being good light-hearted. I guess this is the main goal of this show.

I just finished the episode, and I don't have a very clear mind towards this, but apparently this turns a bit like the Moon Route mixed in a bit. It feels like that due to the characters not wanting to kill Kagari, so they disregard their own factions goals and rules and wouldn't really want to cause harm to each other. This is basically what I thought when I read the Visual Novel to be fairly honest with you. The characters honestly do not want to attack each other, and they dont want to hurt each other since they're friends (well, the anime didn't portrayed that part very well in the Common Route, albeit rushed but I will say it was still enjoyable).

I kinda like how they gave this episode focus around the factions goals and their usage for Kagari, really like that since its one thing that the series needed, some sort of explanation through the factions and what their goals are. Though they could have done it a little better of course. Not saying that this is horribly done but it was nice to see that again.

I also like these little segments around the interaction of the characters, or at least the ones inside of the area, since they're getting along again and just having the usual nostalgic fun, I guess its trying to demonstrate what I stated previously.

Though my only issue from the episode was of course this:

How did Lucia ended up there? Didn't she fell off from a cliff or sorts? Unless the cliff somehow leaded her to that area.

Other than that, good episode I guess, also, the new arrangement for the OST was pretty great, I NEED THEM DOWNLOADS NOW.

Eh well, I thought it was fine, I think they did some nice job at trying to show what the is trying to say, at least for me since I read the VN. Of course that might be a personal bias since I like how its going a bit, albeit I can't deny this is more light hearted than serious.

Umineko VN is without the doubt one of the best VN out there. VNs quality level is that of Steins;Gate, but adaptation was completely trash.

If you try to compare this to the visual novel, I'll give you tons of contradictions that has anime made so it's better not to think about it.

I'm just holding myself not to state the contradictions that I found while watching this since I'm viewing this as a guy who's trying to not compare this anime to the visual novel.

I see that your Japanese is still rough on the edges to say the least, since you totally missed the holy woman explanation... Or is your Japanese good but you were livestreaming three series at the same time to make sure you open their episode threads? It must be tough watching all those anime without understanding half of the story...

The holy woman's explanation is so dull and mixed and messed up. To the point that it seems it's mostly an extra and wouldn't be able to give two shits. I don't know if they'll explain about holy women more. Seriously any anime-only watcher wouldn't be able to bother anything about the holy woman's explanation.

This one guy for example:

Akane's route's explanation is simply straightforward yet it explained fully clear.

The visual novel is totally different to the anime. But I can't say this anime pulled a Charlotte either. The visual novel has strong dark-themed, incomparable to this one.

Not surprisingly, Lucia survived. I guess that was to be expected.

For some reason I had trouble devoting all of my attention to this episode, but judging by the way the it ended, I think it's safe to say that shit is about to go down.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

This. Why another build up episode? I think we only got build up since episode 7, just get on already. I can't even see how it will go for 2 more episodes because there is so much thing that must happen in so little short span of episode.

I just hope the next episode isnt another build up anymore.

I found this episode really enjoyable but again I find the anime-original route very enjoyable for what it is. It still feels like the VN Rewrite with the story and characters. "Good.... Memories...." when Kagari looks at the moon was foreshadowing for whats later on.

With Lucia being alive I've already expected it because first of all she's a superhuman so it's harder for her to die.

For the friendship theme that the anime has been trying was in the VN for one route where Kotarou mentions it he wanted the club back together which the anime has been doing.

The Holy Woman was interesting to see and it displayed much better than how the VN did it.

Only part I didn't like was hot spring scene otherwise very good episode.

I know that the adaptation is not good and I found many parts where I wanted to scream, but I am enjoying the anime, am I weird?

The thing I got from the episode was:
1)Kagari is turning more human feeling shame and embarrassment and possible attraction to Kotarou.
2) The holy woman explanation was messy, I understood it since I read the VN, but I think that a casual anime only will have a hard time understanding it, I say casual since is not messier than Evangelion or Zetsuen explanations.
3) Is Sakuya throwing up blood really a joke?
4) Kagari is losing consciousness due to the song.
5) Tenma, the baldy, is damn good at playing the piano.

Also Why Lucia is okay when Chihaya and Kagari touched her?
She is supposed to hate to be touched since every living being will die if they come into contact with her, that also applies to the bath, I am pretty sure that the poison doesn't come out only from her hands, but from her whole body, maybe it's an anime contradiction, which isn't weird considering that the VN also had contradictions with Sakuya's route.

That old woman is Akane's obaa-sama, the current holy woman, the current leader of Gaia, one who received all the memories and emotions from the previous holy women, lost her individuality because she was crushed by all those memories and emotions and now wants to destroy humanity. Currently sending all the holy women's memories and emotions to Akane. Is not spoiler, it was explained in the anime in 1-2 minutes.

Shimako is spoiler, the most I can say is that she is living with Akane and Akane kinda likes her and takes care of her. I guess they will explain super fast the connection she has with Akane at the last chapter, but one can guess her connection with Akane by now.

Do we really need this many random service scenes? I mean they're not as bad as the ones they added for Kajitsu but still...

More importantly I find it kind of ironic that they manage to squeeze in episodes like this where almost nothing happens so close to the end of the show when they already have like one fifth of the episodes they actually needed. Could at least try to use what little time you have at your disposal for some actual plot progression instead :s
