I'll rather that approach than Arc 2's "let's drag out this part and oh no we got half an episode to fit in all this awesome stuff!".

Hasn't Deen hidden episodes from us before? With Ep. 2 I think it was....

DEEN have never hidden episodes before, people only said that because they didn't know Newtype and other magazines only list the episodes airing in the following month.

Problem child will be more or less about Maria killing Rosa and some George and Jessica fighting right? Breakthrough for battles and epicness, Adjourn for, UGH everyone dies, Battler's sin and disssapear, 7 for Ange's end and recovering Battler and 8 full for Tea Parties, it looks more or less good

[hodil]

prophyaxis or prophylaxis.. anyways.. i wonder how they would pronounce it.

[immblueversion]

There ARE supposed to be 26 episodes, right????????

[Jan-Poo]

yes 26 episodes.

Yes, that is what I had heard.

Indeed, I should have nothing to worry about the episode "Adjourn", since

Spoiler:

that is exactly what Beatrice does in the story. But you already know that.

That being said, here is exactly what I believe will happen in the last two, unannounced episodes:

Spoiler:

EP IV-VI should cover the SN chapters entitled "Journey's Endpoint" and "Ushiromiya Ange".

EP IV-VII will be left for the "Tea Party" and "????", the later most likely as some sort of post-credits scene.

With that, those episodes should really run relatively smoothly.

I wonder if they'll keep the reference to the origin of "uu". That scene really made me want Maria and Rosa to have a happy ending, or at least more sufficient closure, in Umineko Chiru. EP6 should be out by the time the anime finishes up, but I digress.

As I keep saying, the origin of "uu" will absolutely be cut. It is part of the narration/inner monologue, which has been completely omitted so far. I highly doubt they will keep that.

However, there is a chance they will keep the origin of "uu" as a summary of Kasumi's destruction of the diary. That is, they'll omit the build up and skip straight to the meaning. That would still butcher it, though.

Sorry, I meant to say the meaning of "uu" in the first place.

But it'd still be good for something, if not as good.

I also think Beatrice's character song will be used for the final episode's ED.

I just heard it, and thought of a way that would make it work brilliantly.

I'd love that to happen but it'll probably be the normal ED or discode (though I highly doubt it, since they skipped on activepain)

[Christen]

Discode is possible if they opt for a special ending staff roll, though I'm not counting on it. If they ever do, it'd be a big surprise.

Beatrice had a monologue in episode 17 iirc.

[Auria]

Don't want Beatrice character song (the instruments feel not properly arranged, it just sounds wuargh sometimes) and we won't get it either, yesh. I like discode but I love the normal ed as well, so I'd be happy with either

[Serpit]

They'll probably play the OP >_>

[TheForsaken]

They'll play suspious
