umineko no naku koro ni
Umineko Ep. 6 English Patch

HELLS YES A+++, incredibly excited for this. Going to play until my eyes bleed.
I still can’t decide how I feel about Erika. I love Dlanor and the inquisitors in general, but Erika.. I dunno. A huge part of me really wants Battler/Beato to win and do something horrible to her. But another large part of me wants to see Dlanor slaughter everyone and have them <Die the Death>.
End of the golden witch
AWESOME. Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru, the Umineko ‘answer’ arcs!, EP5 op! Natsuhi seems to be getting a bigger roll, or at least a more important one. Natsuhi’s been kind of sidelined since EP1 and her conversation with Kinzo (which I am glad they kept in the anime.. although it was kind of rushed), it’d be nice if they focused on her a bit.. spoiler/theory time:
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. VI (BAD END)

The servants have explained what happened in the servant’s bedroom, and while George is skeptical, he is willing to believe them.
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. V

Shannon and Genji have told Kinzo what happened. He is happy that the game has finally begun. Shannon asks what she should tell Rosa, and Kinzo freaks out, telling them to spend their remaining time doing whatever they want, servants included. Genji and Shannon decline, saying, as furniture, their duty is to serve their master [Kinzo]. Kinzo decides to write a will, and asks Shannon to copy it down. Genji serves him a drink, and he begins with when he met Beatrice.
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. IV

The kids are in the guesthouse with Nanjo, eating their cake. Apparently it sucks because Gohda isn’t there to boast about it.
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. III

Genji meets up with Beatrice (who is finally wearing her more casual outfit) in the reception hall, and Beatrice wants to see Kinzo.
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. II

Rosa and Maria are on a train headed to the Family Conference. Maria won’t stop crying because she wants Halloween candy, and Rosa starts to lose her patience. an old lady offers Maria a piece of candy, and Rosa explodes, hitting Maria and telling the old lady to mind her own business.
Umineko Episode 2, Pt. I

I’m splitting this up into a few parts, because otherwise it would be a huge GREAT WALL OF TEXT. (it still is, but whatever).
The chapter starts out with Shannon and George on a date at an aquarium. They are acting awkward and silly, and while on a walk at the beach Shannon hints to George that their relationship is nothing short of “magic”. Ohh, foreshadowing.

So, it seems うみねこのなく頃に is getting an anime. I can’t really say I’m surprised; 07th Expansion seems to have a severe case of DS Syndrome.. which is the ability to print money with the games you make (well, in the case of Nintendo, it’s systems). Considering how lacklustre E3 is this year, however, this is great news for me: something to look forward to in the near future! While I have yet to finish the Umineko games, what I have played was great. Oh, and I love Ryukishi07. Anyone who knows me knows how much I loved Higurashi. or should I say Hanyuu
I really hope they get Studio DEEN again. Regardless, the popularity of Higurashi will definitely grant whatever studio gets rights a worthy budget indeed.
