/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hey /jp/, finally got around to finishing Umineko Chiro.

Firstly, a question. At the very end of the game where Old Battler is in front of Beatrices portrait and the Fukuin children greet him, why does he see all of the cast from 1986? Was he just trippin' balls or was there some meaning in there?

Secondly, a shitstorm generator. As much as I love Umineko, I, as an atheist, find the overall message of this work fucking disgusting. The 'good' ending involves accepting lies and Ange believing in that 'God's will' bullshit which probably leads her to being successful in life. I don't doubt that belief, no matter how stupid it is, can or likely does improve lives, but that doesn't mean that you should do it too.

The Okonogi of the two endings are not different people. It's 'nice' that he does take care of her when she surrenders all of her money, but if she hadn't, he would have had her killed. He is not a good person and Ange's acquiescence of his behavior, for whatever reasons, makes her a bitch. His bitch.
