The beginning was simple: some mysterious murders are been commieted an the killer is a misterious person. A peerson is killing the Ushiromiya family? Maria, the youngest one of the Ushiromiya believes in Beatrice, the Golden Witch.
I really like the story: Battler vs Beatrice. The game between this two characters is lke a chess game and Battler wants to win: He believes that no magic was used to kill his family. Beatrice will demostrate Battler her power.
All characters well excellent: a great personality. I really like the participation of Ange, Eva Maria and Virgilia in the game. Maybe the anime only focus on the witches and battler. But are moments in you can say: What did he/she did that?
The art was good, acceptable, not a great art, not the worst but the animation has a lot of mistakes, but to me it doesnt matter. All things (in this case the animation) can have mistakes. I Ignore them. Yes, there are a lot of obvious mistakes. You have to ignore them to finish the anime.
I enjoy the anime, but in some pats I got bored. The songs and clips of the opening and ending are so good. I like the changings of the secuense of mages in the opening: little changes like the picture of Beato, for example. This changes change in each game.
In Overall I gave an 8. The end of story wasnt good: I really want to see battler and Ange together, this doesn't happen. The final of the anime wast great. Acceptable. I was waiting for a best ending.
Note: Before this I didnt see Higurashi, but in the furutre I will see it. So I cant compare Higurashi vs umineki
