Spoiler for ep3:
Bear theory is just a play on words. It originated back in Ep1 when people thought that Kumazawa was kinda suspicious; that she might actually be Beatrice in disguise. The theory is further strengthed by the fact that Beatrice, whom romanji is Be-a-to-ri-i-che, has the starting sound of "Bear". Bear in Japanese is Kuma, which is also the start of Kumazawa. (I can't remember if there were further twisting on words for the zawa part).

Any studio, really, though I guess some studios are better at animating the whole mystery-genre than others. (Pss... Madhouse... pss...) |

Schrodinger's cat... I guess its relation to these sorts of scenarios is the possibility of two things being true at once, and only when one is proven does it become that one. (The problem being that when you seek to prove it, you influence it in some way: I guess the VN equivalent is two paths being true, but by seeking to see whether one path is true, you could cause it to happen, and as such influence it? ... Erm, I'm just typing my thoughts out and getting confused again, so I could be wrong...). It seems that all of these situations just keep on looping around until a desirable outcome is reached. As for Kumasawa... so, completely different things can happen in different worlds. ._.; To the extent of a complete identity change... I guess the thing is how much the worlds affect each other- or how much you believe the 'fantasy world' to be true? =/ |

Come to think of it that Ryukishi also likes Asmodeus XD

Looks like the witches can figure out pretty much by now: Spoiler for ep3:

I kind of like the idea that before the "reboot" or whatever the Umineko equivalent is, the Schrodinger's cat theory is true, but after the reboot, how the characters act influences the ending. Thus, Battler carrying out master plan>GOOD END is more likely than BAD END. |

Eh, I was under the impression that what you said was more or less the case, although I'm not sure about the 'true' or 'false' aspect of it. Also, with VNs, I guess there's more than one option influencing the story (more than Higurashi, I think? I've never played a VN, but I was under the impression you get to change the situation more/provide more input to the situation than Higurashi?).
Spoiler for kind of long speculation on Schrodinger's cat:
... But I could just be getting confused. ._.; Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... In any case, what you said sounds right to me. I'm glad I'll never have to study quantum physics: if I can't even get my head around Schrodinger's cat, I wonder what I'd make of the rest of it (not to mention all the formulae)... Ah, and of course: Schrodinger's cat was mentioned in the poem by Bernkastel for Minagoroshi-hen: Quote:

If Umineko ep.3 adult character main focus is Eva, could it be at the ep.4 Kyrie gonna be the main focus?
it will be interesting to see another side of Kyrie and maybe at the answer arc, the fathers will get the focus (Imagining Krauss, Hideyoshi, and Rudolf show his GARness to defeat Beato underlings till the end of the game ) |
