Beatrice Has Trolled You All!
The lack of BGM music was irritating, still this episode was all kinds of awesome! Battler is now reliving Kyon's nightmare. Beatrice sure as heck dropped some jaws this episode. Lamberdia appears to be the mastermind to the chaos Higurashi Deja vu anyone? It looks like broken time shards have started to move, Berntaskel seems to be playing Hanyuu's role this time. Ange's Entrance was epic! |

Hm, quite the plot twist this episode was. So Beato never had a change of heart at all huh? T'was all a farce, and not to mention Virgilia was in on it all too. I'm just glad Evatrice got what was coming to her though. God what a bitch of a witch.
Ange seems like your typical "female badass" character, I thought this series was lacking one.~ And Bernkastel's actions just further accelerated my hypothesis on her existance. *nod nod*

And I think this was a great episode that lived up to the essentials of the VN, despite cutting some details here and there. It didn't deliver the same amount of emotional impact, but it still came close enough by the anime's current standards. I can only hope that the last arc of this season will be even better, but we'll see. |

She didn't deny witches, if she did, everyone would have disappeared instantly... for good.

I don't think the whole thing was planned from the time of her fight with Virgillia, though. Then again, it's awfully hard to pinpoint timeframes for this sort of thing on the anti-fantasy side; I believe in the witches and everything that goes on in the Meta-World, but judging Beato's 'good' actions without being able to consider her George/Shannon and Jessica/Kanon involvement is somewhat difficult. The Magic Fight with Virgillia is the same thing, really - if it never actually happened, then for all we know the two were planning something from the get-go and it was all staged, but somehow I just don't see that. I think Beato got the idea for her North Wind and the Sun Strategy exactly where we saw her get it, and that everything we saw before that was at least somewhat genuine. Virgillia however...she's really hard to judge. It would make more sense for her to help Battler all along and get him to trust her if it was all pre-planned from the beginning, but still...augh, it's all so confusing. Any time I try to overthink things in this series I just fry my brain ^^; I don't believe Eva being the culprit either, though. I can see her going gold-crazy and killing at least Rosa and Maria, possibly everyone else, but if she did I think George and Hideyoshi would have to either be in on it or at least spared without knowing what was going on. Eva can be a bitch, but you can tell how deep her love for Hideyoshi is, and her devotion to George. She wouldn't (at least willingly) kill them. And even aside from that, the arc is set up way too easily to point to Eva as the culprit. If it were true, then that would just be lame. Kinda like how Rosa is insanely suspicious in EP2, but I don't think she's involved in the murders just because it would be way too easy to pin it on her. Umineko is just too much of a mindfuck for the 'easy' suspect to be the one.

Some things I don't understand about the Umineko-universe...
1. So Ange pops in from the third game's universe to assist Battler in solving the fourth game. With Umineko taking place in a multiverse with very thin walls, why aren't we seeing thousands of Beatrices and Battlers running around? 2. Meta-Battler is the first iteration's Battler after he died and went to purgatorio, correct? Where do all the other Battlers go (and for that matter, all the other Ushiromiyas) go to when they die, then? |

This episode was able to amuse me in so many different ways, I think this may have been one of the best episodes of Umineko up to date! I seriously thought that those long conversations in the vn being shortened in the anime wasn't that bad but some good parts got cut off and it felt like it was lacking. Maybe it's just me.
Still, it was an awesome episode filled with different emotions, I should say. And.. ANGE!!!!111oneone XD She's kickass awesome, can't wait to see more of her in EP4! All in all, I think EP3 is simply genius DEEN just made it look ughhh in someways. All I get annoyed about is the crappeh animation :/ Giving this ep. a 10~ |

the *BLEEP* what a troll, though i find it hard to believe that it was ALL an act. Deep down i'm still rooting for beato x battler :P edit: My gawd, that was such an epic episode, im glad i didn't get spoiled! Man that was shocking. I was smiling the whole time (with joy) when i saw how lovey dovey the two seemed...and -WHAM- it hit me when it said "to acknowledge as witches...and i was like what...da...fock |

2. htye just die, just like rika, someone is just pulling battler's memories to meta batler, that is why batler is the only trustworthy narrator, since it's pointless to act scenes for metabatler that piece-batler is witnessing as his memories will fuse wit metabatler after the game is over and any lies will get uncovered anyway. |
