Umineko is one of 2009's more prominent animes, and for that reason, as well as others, I feel compelled to now do a review of it.Д«efore I continue, though, there's a few key points I want to make clear.ДЇirst of all, I'm not familiar whatsoever with any of the Umineko games. And, watching it at around a pace of three episodes a day, I just finished it off yesterday. So, long story short, and thanks to a close cousin of mine who watches anime and recommended that I finish it off, I recently picked Umineko back up. While the philosophical struggle over the existence (or lack thereof) of magic and witches was a recurring plot point and catalyst in the anime, it didn't feel like the clouds of Clannad hanging over everything and burying everything in its relentless snow. this wasn't what Umineko was focused around. you really have your priorities straight there, Battler! ) Especially given how this is what I thought Battler and Beatrice would be arguing over practically non-stop while Battler's family would be getting brutally killed all around him. While those last two lines would be quite amusing, the general idea of a shouting match over whether or not the main villain is a witch didn't really appeal to me. blast it! You tricked me!Д«eatrice: Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- HA-HA-HO-Ha-ha-h a.!!!

and you're a fool to think otherwise!Д«attler: I know what you are, but what am I?!Д«attler: I know what you are, but what am. insert incredibly creative but laughably implausible explanation here.Д«eatrice: Fool! Your alternate explanation proves nothing! I am a witch and magic exists!Д«eatrice: Yes it does. Umineko is an anime that I had actually dropped after completing the first arc.ДЄt the time, I had felt that it was destined to descend into a somewhat infantile shouting match going something like this.Д«attler: BS! Witches and magic can't possibly exist!Д«eatrice: But they do! Watch me prove it to you!Д¬ue Beatrice creating a gruesome scene most easily explained by magicД«attler: Heh! There's a perfectly logical scientific explanation for this.
