What seemed like a verbal tic actually being an incantation intended to preserve love with her mother. This episode easily had the moment where I shed the thickest tears, and it's when the truth is revealed behind the meaning of Maria's 'Uu-uu'. Like ooh, a new witch shows up even worse than her and now she's good, kinda obvious route to take the story, it seems? But the execution was so heartwarming that I loved it anyway, and then in the last three minutes R07 just completely flips me on my head and spits all over me in a betrayal that I really did not see coming.Įpisode 4. I really did think Beatrice was turning to the good side, even if it seemed predictable. My god, it's been a while since I've felt that betrayed in a game / story. Combined with the stellar, tense soundtrack playing throughout the scene, I had chills.
When the youngest three are attempting to loot Krauss, but then Krauss flips the advantage and reveals he has insider knowledge on them as well. I think the scene that officially hooked me entirely, and made me think "Oh yeah, I'm in this for the long haul", was the first time we learn of the siblings' financial troubles. There's so much to talk about, where do I even start? But it hooked me, and three months later, I've completed all Episodes. I had never completed a VN before, and with Umineko having an estimated reading time of ~120 hours, I was intimidated that I wouldn't ever actually commit. When Higurashi Gou completed airing and having a seasonal break between Sotsu airing, and everyone saying that these new Higurashi animes were acting as direct links to Umineko, I knew it was the perfect time to dive in.
