Yeaaaaaaah. I'm thinking this is the last episode thread I'm going to read here. Unless my masochistic side hits me again. (whiiiich, it probably will.)
I frikin' loved this episode. Though, granted, the George fight scene was something I've been GREATLY looking forward to ever since his anime design showed up. (Me: YEEE!!! THATS PERFECT FOR THE FIGHT SCENE !!!" ) So uh, yeah, George was goddamned cool. Also, I thought the new music that played during George's scene was great . Also, Yeah, not having Virgilia's silly scenes is a shame, but honestly, there really isn't a lot of time for them. In conclusion.... WOO! GEORGE ! |

How exactly does this episode qualify as "filler"? I think people overuse that word. It doesn't mean "an episode I think is weak or I don't like". It means "an episode full of information that isn't relevant to the plot and is just made to fill up space". If you think this episode is full of filler and isn't relevant to the plot well then ... sorry, but you aren't really paying attention to the storyline. Regardless of whether it was directed well or not (I haven't seen it yet), let me assure you that there's lots of stuff in this episode which is vital to the plot. AKA, not filler at all.

This was quite a change from what Umineko usually gives us, less problem solving and more ass kicking. xD
So correct me if I'm wrong, but that number earlier what was written on the door in Rokkenjima was the code to a bank vault? And why was Ange so shocked about that bag she saw in the boathouse? If it's revealed later then don't bother saying anything. Despite how fanservice-y just Gaap's presence is, she still manages to be a respectable character. I expected her to be way more cocky in attitude than she's showing. So George is trained in martial arts, but considering Jessica is using knuckledusters that must mean she's trained in boxing or kickboxing?

Yes - in episode 17 of the show the number on the door to the parlor room is 07151129 and in this episode it's the same exact numbers. So those numbers were the code to a bank vault. If you look back on that episode Eva was actually copying down the numbers on the door, so she probably didn't even know about this entire "Beatrice sending letters" scheme.
Jessica is trained in boxing from the looks of it. |

This episode felt... odd. Magic running rampant, and George/Jessica taking it completely in stride.
Badass George was pretty nice. Though the bits were George and Jessica both talked as if they were already head felt a little lame. Well. Um... that was kinda pointless. Suddenly, kung fu fighting! Everywhere! Hax! By comparison, his counterpart, Jessica, was... terribly lame. George's twist: "Sure, I'll kill everyone else... but you first. Oh, and I know kung fu and badass expressions." Jessica's twist: "I... I'm in love, so I'm going disregard what I just said and punch you in the face." George's attack: kung fu Jessica's attack: punching a wall George's opponent: Uses gaps (though lamely), tries to kick his ass, summons goats to kick his ass. Jessica's opponent: Just stands there with a magic shield. George's magic-of-determination: I proclaim that you take real damage in proportion to your attacks. Jessica's magic-of-determination: +5 piercing damage; I'm eventually going to punch though your shield so we don't have to spend a whole episode standing in place. As cool as George was, they're both clearly going down anyway next episode. "Magic" can't leave any witnesses, after all. George's will be lame after this winning streak; Jessica's will not, because Ronove hasn't lost his cool or tried attacking yet.

Why it was a lame use doesn't change the fact that it was a lame use.

Well Ange's scenes went by really fast, and I was quite surprised that they decided to definitely show what that thing Ange saw was, which had been eluding VN players for months.
And so George and Jessica crowning moments of awesome begins. The animation did look like it got kicked up a few notches at the last half of the episode, which I hope doesn't mean it'll sacrifice the rest of the final 3 episodes since... well I won't get into that. Acceptable overall.

Kumasawa and Nanjo were in on (at least one of) the murder plot, and this was their pay-off, OR Whoever was behind it all wanted to compensate the families of those involved. Either way, it's a big hint at a mundane solution, not Beatrice (or Goldsmith)'s doing. Quote:
