Stop complaining, It'll be rushed, so what? Maybe they'll spend an entire episode on the teaparty, or at least HALF of an episode, judging by the RAW, this episode is OH SO TOTALLY FRIGGIN AWESOME TO MEH. Even though I despise Ange (why do I always hate on certain characters?? Mikuru from Haruhi and now Ange..) I felt so sorry for her in here.. |

Hey, no censorship. That was a plus. But they essentially sacrificed Goat-kun for more Ange (not really complaining, just pointing out).
For me, it would've been nice if the time given to scenes in the anime were at least proportional to their time in the VN (Ep. 3 Tea Party for example). The pacing in this episode was a bit too dragged out. I mean Ange was taking a beating for like 3 minutes straight, and yet appeared only scruffed up. This arc had a very good chance to become epic and save the season. Leaving only one episode for the remainder of the story ensures that it will never achieve that.

I agree to everything said (in this thread). This gets a 7/10 from me because they kept Ange's scene almost intact and showed some hints we didn't have with the VN, but sent a message to fans: ep 26 will be rushed. It's like what they did with ep 10 and 11.
Anyway, who chose Chiaki Kon for the directing?

I'm rating this episode for what happened in this episode, and for once, Deen did everything right. Yes, it wasn't that fast paced, but I enjoyed it just the same.
...Needless to say, the pacing is going to be nasty for the next one, but that's next episode. This episode was good, so let's enjoy it while it lasts A solid 8. Spoiler for umineko:

The second season and Rei were done considerably better... but it's because Ryukishi07 basically co-directed Kai (or so I've heard) and Rei was a short story extra so not that much had to be cut for time restraints. But now we know... 4 super long arcs can't be adapted very well into a 26 episode season. ^^; It's best if you either haven't played the games or find a way to keep your expectations just low enough. Not really... this thread is about the episode. Not the people who like or dislike the episode.

Well, I didn't read Higurashi VN, but the anime was the one who dragged me into the When they Cry series. It wasn't a good adaptation, but I really enjoyed it. But for this one (Umineko's), I don't think the same thing is happening...

It might have turned away a lot of Higurashi fans however because Higurashi and Umineko are two different stories, so people who were expecting something similar were disappointed. I know a couple of my friends were. But I know another friend who watched Higurashi and loves that and Umineko. So in the end it's all about tastes. Higurashi season 1 was butchered way worse than Umineko is... doesn't make Umineko good. It just means that people who don't know of the original source won't have much to compare it to. DVD sells might be an example of you being right though. Not too keen on that sort of thing myself, so I couldn't tell you.

We have every right to our opinion as much as you do yours. Our complaints are justified, and yes, it's NOT going to be a fun ride of most of next week considering the pacing of this episode. Please don't act like our complaining is just silly nonsense and 'so what if it's rushed' because yes, to many of us, that is a big deal. Especially when you guys don't know what's left to come? Yeah, don't act like it's 'not a big deal', because to most of us, seeing this adaptation of our beloved series, it IS. Will be back to watch the episode and write my own review later, I need to stop slacking off and get back to work on my final papers due tomorrow @#$%

Well i only saw the pictures and read other peoples comments. This is actually my favorite part of all of Episode 4 (and i noticed there seems to be alot of hatred for the 1988 scenes from Episode 4). But i think they shouldve gone just a little further in this episode, ending it where the VN ended Episode 4, and then next episode could be dedicated to the tea parties which imo are more important this time around than the other 3 arcs.

I would play the VN, except the torrent took about 2 weeks to complete, and It didn't even work.
I have seen some of the VN scenes, and I admit that the EP 3 Beato scenes were better than the anime, and I would compare the VN and anime, except the person uploading the video's had to stop uploading them. I don't know why the heck Eva Beatrice was in here, though. Wasn't she denied a long time ago? |

I would never have thought this episode would only cover one chapter, I'll join in and say I'm highly worried about the last episode now.
