I finally finished Umineko no Naku Koro ni! The ending is really... Unsatisfying!!! Throughout the series, I was looking forward to twists which might disprove the theories of magic and witches, but sadly, the many twists only further reinforced the existence of magic. Even though I'm disappointed with the ending, I'm certainly hoping for a second season as it will most certainly solve most of the mysteries/puzzles.Story: (7/10) – Fairly GoodThere are four arcs in Umineko no Naku Koro ni. The arcs are meant to introduce the mysterious circumstances surrounding Rokkenjima and the legend of the Golden Witch. Each arc in this series contains all the previous arcs.I believe the setting of the story is perfect for a mystery. However, the execution is lackluster. Throughout the series, it's heavily implied that magic really do(?) exist (i.e. all the servants aka furniture have special powers =.=), and it made the battle between Beatrice and Battler seem really meaningless. I hope if there's ever a season 2, it will prove what I said above wrong.Characters: (7/10) – Fairly GoodFrankly, there's no one in this series I particularly like. However, there's a character I really hate: Maria!! Her uh-uh is really IRRITATING!Ok.. let's forget about Maria and skip to the 2 main characters:Battler - He's supposedly an intelligent and logical person. However, the anime certainly did not portray him that way. Beatrice - She's supposed to be badass but in the end, she turned out to be more tsundere than terrifying. =.=!Art/Animation: (7/10) – Fairly GoodThe animation quality varies from time to time, but most of the time, it's not too bad. I especially like those parts with the red/blue text. As for the art, it's not sometime I like. Also, the character designs lack originality.Music: (8/10) – GoodThough the Opening theme and Ending theme are not my cup of tea, they fit the mood of the anime very well. Enjoyment: (6/10) – Good The anime started off pretty well and I did enjoy it but towards the end, it started moving at bullet train speed and it felt that some important details were left out.Overall: (7/10) – Fairly Good In all, the setting of the story is good but sadly, this anime made a murder mystery story look more like a confusing fantasy story.

~ Culprit-san ~ Welcome to Rokkenjima! We hang out so much around this place might as well explore it properly. Let's review what we already know about Rokkenjima and make some of it into certainty. We’ve got a couple of shots of different parts of the mansion in both the sound novel and the anime. I think that anyone who has finished the anime or read the sound novel up to EP4 should be ok to read this. There are only very small spoilers for EP5 in case you're worried about that but nothing huge. Enjoy the game backgrounds in case you aren't familiar with the game. Let's get to it and start cornering the main culprit. Tagged: Umineko no Naku Koro ni.

I WON'T BELIEVE IN THAT CRAP! or whatever till I say otherwise. Fallen woles? Red butterflies? There's a logical explanation for this! Awesome episode was awesome. You know what makes this episode better than the others? Proven fact: It’s the lack of Isuzu in this one for me. Nemuru opens the window like she’s letting out all the crappiness that partly filled the past episodes and welcomes the better stuff. I applaud her for this. So It's theory time ~ tagged: Ookami Kakushi, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni

I came across a lol evoking parody of the visual novel Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru EP5. It's called Umineko Chiru: Magical Detective Erika-chan and basically, it follows the actual story of EP5, but the dialogues are made up, of course. Warning! It contains heavy spoilers for Umineko VN EP5, so it's only for experienced visual novel readers. Or for those who don't care about Umineko, but feel like watching a funny video.<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t5SEQoAzr5o&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t5SEQoAzr5o&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_HkR6heK2wY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_HkR6heK2wY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j2z-RTQ33Qk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j2z-RTQ33Qk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wYRRY66qDC4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wYRRY66qDC4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>It's pretty long but I don't regret watching it. Umineko VN readers will certainly find amusing, as I did.And that's not all. I have an omake prepared for you. It's an excellent BGM track from episode 5 called "Meitantei wa Shitteiru" but enriched with vocals. Very cute vocals at that.<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ext.nicovideo.jp/thumb_watch/nm8780388"></script><noscript>【ニコニコ動画】うみねこのなく頃に『名探偵は知っている』を歌ってみた♪</noscript>
