I'm reading Ep 1 right now.
I'm bored out of my fucking mind, why are they talking about shit that no one gives a fuck about. They're in the parlour drinking tea.

When does it get interesting?

>> No.2534189

I don't know, why don't you keep reading and find out?

When Battler snaps and rapes Shannon infront of George.

>> No.2534215

It'll get interesting when people start dying. This'll keep up for the rest of EP1. Then you'll reach the end and go "What the fuck? Why go through all this bullshit when the answer is 'A wizard did it'?"

Then you'll go through all of EP2 with a similar feeling, plus a dash of "What the hell is this even about anymore?"

This will continue until midway through EP3, at which point black becomes white, night becomes day, and the story becomes incredibly awesome.

Nah, it gets jaw-droppingly awesome about 1/2 way through Ep 2.

I couldn't enjoy ep 2 at all because I was under the impression that everything portrayed had actually happened, making Battler's victory ultimately impossible, and everything pointless. This doesn't turn around until Virgilia gets out.

That's really true. It wouldn't be nearly as good without the soundtrack.

It gets awesome once the parents start discussing the inheritance. Maybe this kind of story just isn't for you.

But magic doesn't exist so how could everything that happened really happen?

You were thinking at least one step backwards from where you should have been.

I was hooked on Umineko from the first scene, you're all fags who need to read more books and get less instant-entertainment.

Even if you aren't just reading it for the violence Umineko has a very slow start.

Touché.

And you have to admit that it wasn't nearly as good then as it was later. I was hooked from the beginning too, but it wasn't until my ear got tenderly loved that I thought this was AWESOME and not just cool.

I hope the anime has a painfully slow start so we don't have to deal with the stupid fandom.

It happened because it was observed to happen, obviously.

And if magic didn't exist, Bernkastel wouldn't exist, nor would the time loop. And that would be horribly boring.

There is no time loop in Umineko, bro.

Higurashi animu had a pretty slow start too, i think everyone kept watching it since the intro scene had K1 beating people with a bat.

I dont know how they'd do anything like that in Umineko though, more than likely the intro scene will be Goldsmith rambling just like in the VN.


Also, OP: once murders start to happen shit gets awesome. You'll know when that's about to happen when George proposes to Shanon.

>>2534291

>And you have to admit that it wasn't nearly as good then as it was later

If the story starts out INCREDIBLE and gets worse from there, it means it had good ideas that just didn't work out.

In other words, any good story ALWAYS gets better later.

okay, up to the 'cornered Krauss' scene.

True, but some people might not like the story until later. It's pretty common, and it's understandable.

It's not a time loop, its merely a replaying of the murder but with different things happening every time.

It's like a chess game rematch, of course the second game wouldn't have the same moves as the first game.

Odd, I read plenty of books and I thought the beginning of Umineko was boring. I don't mind slow pacing but Umineko just has a rough start.

It isn't a time loop, bro.

Different universes, not the exact same one over and over.

Example, Rosa crushed Maria's candy in Ep 2, but the candy never even came up in Ep 1 or 3 or 4.
If it were a loop, it'd happen the exact same way. Groundhog's Day style.

Replaying a period of time IS a time loop.

No.

Playing a second game of chess after the first game of chess is not a loop, it's playing two games.
You didn't change the pawns out or are suddenly playing without Bishops, you're just playing a new game of chess.

I don't care if you use the dark side of the Force or studied under Bigsby and Mordenkainen. Shooting lightning from your fingertips is magic either way.

Except that isn't what they do, you blithering moron. Or did you somehow fail to notice the calendar dates being the same?

No one could be this stupid. Why the hell do I have to deal with trolls even when trying to discuss something like Umineko?

No, I believe you are the idiot.

They DO just skip on to the next game. Time does NOT "reverse", AT ALL.
Did you COMPLETELY FUCKING MISS Episodes 3 and 4? How about the epilogue in 1? THE WORLD CONTINUES ON.
Beato and Battler just skip to the next game board.

>> No.2534424

>>2534395
The dates in the game are meaningless, look at them as just another piece of information.

I think this argument is mostly getting hung up on the literal definition of words. It's a time loop in the sense that the game always starts on the same day and ends on the same day, meaning the same days are "replayed" over and over, but time itself is not looping, it's just being reset and redone.
