The most important part of getting to this episode was trying to avoid even the slightest semblance of any spoilers – be it the post title, or the preview sentence you see in Google Reader. But I knew some shit had hit the fan when even Divine over at Random Curiosity was posting about it. [...]
How is it possible that my heart is breaking so much for someone who as recently as two episodes ago was reveling in her complete depravity and lack of compassion? Also, this is now the second time that I wished I’d saved last week’s title (Moetrice’s sadness) for this week… I bet I’m also going [...]
Several episodes ago, I wondered if Umineko would ever be able to develop their characters as richly as Higurashi had. I was very skeptical then, simply because of the much larger cast they had to work with. And while I feel safe in saying that Umineko will never do as good a job (although to [...]
Geez, I don’t even know where to begin. I can’t tell if we’re getting any real clues, or the story is just meant to mess with us and throw as many random events as possible. Anyway, let’s try to put some pieces together.
To be honest, I didn’t really find Moetrice’s and Beatrice’s battle to be that interesting. But things took a much more interesting turn once that battle was over.

I’ve been battling a cold for the past week and thus have been feeling pretty unmotivated. Which is unfortunate, because there’s been a bunch of posts I’ve been thinking of posting. The Haruhi recap, something on the Zetsubou sensei girls, something on Scribblenauts, my favorite list of seiyuus, a 3-part concerto on Nodame Cantabile that [...]
So concludes the final episode of the second game, with Battler’s seemingly grotesque and frankly, shameful loss. If surrendering is getting walked around in chains only to be torn apart by demon goat butlers, screw that. Meta-Battler seemingly realizes that as he returns with a bang and one of the best lines I’ve seen in [...]
I rewatched Higurashi a couple weeks ago, marathoning both the original and the sequel, and the one thing that was struck by (and have always been impressed by) is how much I cared for each one of the characters. My heart broke for each one of them as they succumbed to the madness during the [...]
Umineko’s a tough show to write about, because there’s so many things that happen in each episode. I’m going to try to keep this post on the shorter side. (edit: I think I failed.) The events Rosa blames the servants
