[Anime] Umineko - Spoilers & Expectations (for experienced VN readers only)

[luckyssol]

The wiki page has all the TIPS collected together:
http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/TIPS

Even though Ryukishi basically said that if you just watch the anime and you'll know everything I think these tips are very useful and some are entertaining.

@Marion: Is there an extra TIP that is not posted on the wiki page yet?

Spoiler for Episode 5:

To answer this, yes. It's called [新人司祭コーネリア] "Shinjin Shisai Cornelia" ('Newcomer Priest Cornellia' if you want some fast translation), released in September 2009 as a booklet distributed at ひぐらしのつどい・3 (Clarify me on this though :|) Haven't read it but it's in umineco.info I think.

Ah, the one from:

Thank you

Ooh, I didn't know the wiki had the extra TIPS. Then again I'll hold on reading what I haven't read yet until EP5 gets translated.

[Volcanic]

Oh my god, the Stakes all did a preview together! xDD I giggled, quite hard. And judging by what I heard of her, Mammon sounds perfect.

And oh my god more Sakutaro and Amakusa! <3 Can't wait to see the Marshmallow Hell scene and Ange just hanging with Juuza.

[Workworkwork]

Wonder if they'll keep M.Zakky in.

They did show the scene where Juuza turns off the radio, so...yeah.

Sakutarou looks adorable. Then again, it was pretty hard for DEEN to screw up Sakutarou's design

[Raneh]

Didn't anyone post the youtube link for the preview yet?

That was truly... hilarious
An excellent preview.

[MarthX]

New episode titles weren't released yet?

[MeoTwister5]

Looks like it's time for the Stakes and Saku to take center stage. Funny preview that belies the physical and mental brutality that actually sort of defines Ep4...

[Endless_Witch_Nipah]

omg,omg,omg,omg...

10 min Later...

OMG OMG !! IT'S HUMAN SAKUTARO !! *fangirl scream*

=w=

[Ithekro]

And the fangirls arrive...along with the Stakes...as they are fangirls as well.

I cant remember Episode 4 very well, but is the first twilight possible in the next episode?

Though i remember sakutaro was supposed to be shred first... so they shouldnt be creating him and then killing him in one episode right?

I can expect that of DEEN, seeing as how everyone here apparently couldn't stand the flashbacks, and Sakutarou's part of them, so...

We know they'll get up to Lambda telling Ange about Bern's deal with her at the very least. I kinda hope they don't end on Sakutaro dying but it's looking to be that way.

After Sakutaro dies sequence we get to Ange and Juuza going to meet the boat captain and the 1st twilight starts on chapter 11 I believe.

Didn't the witch-hunt shoutout happen before they met the Captain, though?

I hope they don't ham-handedly abuse the foreshadowing with other Sakutarous like they did with Rosa the whore. I know these will probably not happen, but perhaps an additional flashback to that scene when Beato can't assert the existence of only one Sakutarou plush?

Yeah the Witch Hunt shout out is as actually the very next chapter after Goldsmith if I recall correctly.

[Westlo]

So Goldsmith's "debut" is in the end of episode 3 or the start of it?

Newtype is released on the 8th of each month, shouldn't be long... I hope they have the pacing right so they can leave the Tea Parties for Episode 26.

[Goldsmith]

Episode IV-II zugzwang (confirmed, obviously)
Episode IV-III prophyaxis
Episode IV-IV problem child
Episode IV-V breakthrough
Episode IV-VI adjourn

So Adjourn is when Beato owns Battler and makes her sanctuary with MARIA... so that would leave Ange's big scenes in meta and the future for IV-VII and the Tea Parties for IV-VIII or am I forgetting something?

Yup, that's what I think as well. This would indicate a very good pacing for the last 2 episodes, but a terrible rushjob leading up to them =P
