I finally finished it today. It was awesome.
I still don't completly believe Beatrice. I'm on the fence because of this chapter. I think I'm going to read through Volume 1 and Volume 2 and see if I can come up with any plausible theories.
Spoiler for General Stuff Through the Game:
Genji got like 10 times more awesome in this volume.
I actually really liked the comments. Possibly because after Battler challenged Beatrice at the end of Tea Part episode 1, I was like shivering in excitement. This may or may not have to do with me being a nerd.
Anyway, I found their speaking fun to watch, and I especially like the challenged they had in red text. Sanctuary scene was so awesome.
One thing I'm really curious about is how they would make the red text thing work in an anime.
I agree with the majority that Shotgun Natsuhi > Shotgun Rosa.
Beatrice's "scowling" facial expression scared me.
Also, I don't find the idea that "they are hallucinating the goat-headed furniture/the supernatural aspect" plausible. Too many people seeing this stuff at once. I don't have a plausible explanation for why they are seeing it, other then magic, but I still want to say it's not the witch Beatrice doing the killings. Although, for the goat-headed furniture, I think it'd be easy for them to wear something over their head to appear as goats. Possibly a real goat-head, as disgusting as that sounds.
I really can't come up with a lot of theories right now about this, but I plan on rereading it and seeing if I can catch anything. I'm going to try and look at it like a Chess game, since that's a big theme in Umineko.
Regardless, August feels way to far away. I want to eat at the Banquet of the Golden Witch right now. Kihihihihi
