Episode 2 is my favorite out of them. I found Episode 4 to be a bit too depressing, long, and confusing to enjoy as much... but that's just me. I just hope that when I'm watching the anime, I won't think "Oh gosh... okay Ange's life sucks, I get it. Move on." like I did with the game. ^^;

Oh yes, omg.

That was so heart-breaking. I can't wait to see people's response to that.

I rarely hear VN players complain that a game is "too long"...

Frankly, I can't wait to see gg's reaction. They keep tagging their releases with "THIS IS AN UU-UU FREE ZONE".

That's mostly how I felt about Ange and Maria's backstory. But like I said, that's just me.

The Ange and Maria flash backs had a lot of redundancy. The anime could cut away some of it and still maintain the message.

Same here. The Komachi Ange chapters were longer then they should of been...At least I think so.

June 1983 · 2009-08-01, 15:28

Most of Ryukishi's scenes are much longer than necessary, to be honest.

The guy has a real gift for saying what could be summarized in 10 lines in 10 pages.

Personally, I loved those "boring" parts lol. I thought Ange's future events provided us with more details about Maria and some major clues as to what's going on. Plus, those chapters were loaded with character development.

Exactly.

Saerianne · 2009-08-01, 16:15

I enjoyed Ange's scenes. It went for a while, I agree, but it was so sad. D:
I want to see the Uu-Uu scene, the gaapxgeorge/jessicaxronove scenes, the halloween scene, all the magical battles...
actually I want to see it all. ;_;

And that's what I'm hoping the anime does.. I liked a lot of what VN 4 did... but due to how much some scenes dragged on it's nowhere near the level that VN 3 set imo.

I think the scene where Maria explains to Ange that since there always has to be one kid who gets bullied in a class she choose to protect the others who would potentially be bullied.

This may end up being symbolic of what Beatrice is doing in taking the blame for all the crimes on the island. In reality she may not be responsible for any of it.

I hope that gets included in the anime.

That might be true, but Ryuukishi has gotten a lot better since Higurashi.
Plus, you hardly seem to notice after the first half of each Episode, for the most part.

June 1983 · 2009-08-01, 17:09

Oh no, I definitely agree. I've gotten used to it, anyway. Actually, it's almost kind of charming.

A lot like his art is!

Marion · 2009-08-01, 17:24

I like his art too. It's not CG quality art or anything, but it does have a certain charm to it~

Actually I think of all the VN I've read Umineko is the one that suffers the least from redundancy. Maybe I was unlucky, but even the acclaimed Ever 17 has many parts that repeat themselves like 10 times and parts that are completely inane. It rarely happened to me to read Umineko and find myself bored but that happened to me a lot in many other VNs.

The only exception is the whole part of Maria and Ange past. I'm not saying that the story itself was bad I acually liked it, but it was a lot slower and redundant than what Ryukishi used to do.

SealedTime · 2009-08-01, 20:42

I agree. Umineko is one of the VNs which you'll get hooked onto and start playing for hours. Ryukishi is teh master >__>

MeoTwister5 · 2009-08-01, 20:50

Kinda depends for me. Ange's story really dragged during the start and middle. Too much Angest at parts.

USHIROMIYABRAWLER · 2009-08-01, 21:02

The Ange and Maria parts are the only thing that made me impatient.

Spoiler for Beato:

MarthX · 2009-08-01, 21:35

Beato was showing her moe side before getting the North Wind and Sun hint.

USHIROMIYABRAWLER · 2009-08-01, 22:18

Yes, but what I'm saying is if she wanted to win she woulda waited until he signed before going all evil face.
