Actually, as long as it's only a single generation that does it (ie, not repeated incest for generations like royal families), it's been shown that even a relationship as close as siblings only increases the risk of birth defects by roughly the same amount as a woman being over 40 when she gets knocked up.

Like seriously, because of a partially gay love triangle Yasu just decides to KILL everyone? With a fucking bomb that just happens to be on the island?

Meanwhile episode 4 mocked Battler for his wacky theories, and the truth is that there was a megaton explosive on the island just... cause?

And the explosion is detonated because Yasu is a melodramatic whore who can't choose between the lesbian, the red haired douche, and the glasses douche?

At least it had a plot and was introducing you to characters while it was simultaneously setting up a story and giving you a bit of backstory. After Episode 1 the characters are arbitrary, since maybe that's the way they are, and maybe it's not. You have no real handle on them. In Episode 1, you're given no reason to doubt the characters, as you're given no reason to doubt the integrity of the story through the construction of multiple meta-worlds stemming from a St. Elsewhere-esque Battler.

I thought episode 3 was great when Ange showed up and Episode 4 did a good job of playing everything up until the big finale with dreamenddischarger

Ep 5's fight was interesting but was kinda stupid with everyone and their grandma being able to use the blue truth. What was so memorable about EP4's battle was because of the introductory blue forget-me-not and red roses thing and how Battler was taking the offensive and countering each of Beatrice's red

>> No.7466225

I liked Beato until she started going emo at EP4.
Yasu renewed my love for her even if in a different way.

I understand that because love you can do that kind of shit. Killings because of love are in the news everyday, the fact that I wouldn't do it is a different thing, but it happens and it makes sense.

Yasu is actually retarded, and that was proved in her story, hell, she believed Beatrice used to steal her stuff, why not to believe Battler loves her? You saw how delusional she was toward it "Battler suffers the same as me, and I am not one of those fools waiting for someone who does not give a shit about them"

I for one was taken into Yasu's story, enjoyed it and felt sad with her/him. if you don't liked it is fine, but because you didn't liked it doesn't makes it universally bad.

>> No.7466411

I rather dislike Yasu as the primary murderer. Yeah, love makes you do crazy things, but there are still fucking limits. The only was I like it is if s/he was creating a fake murder mystery to celebrate Battler's return (and maybe make him remember), tries to get the adults in it, and then someone takes advantage of it to really start killing people... but then in that case there isn't much of a motive for the real murderer(s) other than "lol money". Plus there are a few of the mysteries that practically require Yasu to be killing people in order to solve, so it all breaks apart.

But of course, none of the games matter anyway, because they were just stories written within the story. Fuck.


I have a bitter taste in my mouth when it comes to Umineko. It really could have ended well. It could have gone somewhere. But instead we get a weak, poorly contrived ending. I think most of the problem lies with Ryukishi wanting to make it sort of open ended. That, and the death of his friend or whatever. That must have really fucked him up somehow.

Most of Umineko was focused on the build up to the big reveal.
Like Ever17 for example.

That's why even if the early episodes could be quite slow or weak and some of the revelations could feel quite stupid, you still gave it the benefit of doubt since you could feel it was building up to something big.

No, the point was that Takano had every reason to be insane with unending rage because every day of her life since her parents died has been hell. As was noted a few posts up, it's actually ambiguous if she honestly has Hinamizawa Syndrome.
Shooting at Mion was just her last bit of spite after, from her perspective, losing everything.

>>7467103
The big difference is that Higurashi only had a single antagonist, or true culprit, while with Umineko the culprit can change. So how can we tell who it is? Well, I always figured that the Game Master just symbolized the true culprit.

In EP1, EP2, First Twilight of EP3, and EP4 that would be Meta-Beatrice, who is also Yasu/Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice/Kinzo. Yep, the maid did it. With Genji probably being her accomplice.
EP3: After Eva found the gold she became the new true culprit. That's why at the end of EP3 Battler faces against Eva-Beatrice.
EP5: Things get odd. Lambda is the GM. So maybe Natsuhi became so delusional that she adopted a new personality and is the culprit this time. So it's not really 'her' who's killing everyone. Or it's Yasu again. Whatever.
EP6: Battler stages all the murders but nobody's really dead. Until the psycho comes along decides to finish the job.
EP7 & EP8 (game): Bern is the GM. Kyrie becomes the true culprit with her family as possible accomplices.
