Hmm... I was planning to link it eventually, along with the Chiru PS3 OP (definitely don't post that yet), but I think it's fine. Go ahead, give us something to talk about to push over to page 2 for tomorrow's update.

Are you planning on showing the original EP openings before the new prettier (?) sprites came out? Those tend to show things strictly chapter related.

But then, seeing the PS3 OP just now, showing the originals would probably further confuse things. ...Or is that the point?

Unless I'm confused about something, that's what I linked in the update itself.

...so it is. Never mind me then, I can't read well these days.

I do wish there was a place to chat about the game on a re-read-through, I'm sure there's a lot of build-up I'm missing. I came into the series so late, there wasn't a whole lot of discussion going on anymore.

Maybe like a Discord chat or something would be possible?

I, too, would enjoy a re-read-seacat chat.

Hmm! Thread poll time. Tindeck or Youtube?

Either way is fine with me.

Tindeck has a harder time leading to accidental music spoilers though, iirc, unless you want to keep polsying youtube.

I think the PS3 version took its inspiration from the DEEN anime.



versus the original sprites, as Dr Pepper mentioned, only giving her this little knowing smirk




I'll also vote for Option 2

"Witches sure are incredible. Tell her, if she feels like committing another crime, to do it in a way that no human could... and make me believe that a 19th person... no, a witch, exists."


Well, Battler did ask for something only a witch could've done...

Kinzo and the witch are in cahoots; I'd stake my life on it!

Clearly they temporarily broke the protective seal on Kinzo's study when they opened the door, so Beatrice--or a familiar-- entered with them unseen and placed the letter on the table!

I just want to clarify something here: is the goal here to prove that the killings could have happened by means other than magic, or is the goal to prove that witches don't exist? Because I'm having a legit hard time trying to figure out how to explain the latter, considering Kinzo's pathetic breakdown (again).

Yes.

So it turns out some stranger has been hanging out with Maria, unbeknownst to Rosa, for several years, teaching her strange things. And the stranger is associated with something that horrified Rosa as a child.

God drat, their lives suck.

Haven't you been listening to Maria? It's Beatrice, not some stranger!

When will you accept Beatrice? :witch:

I never saw this profile until now, and something doesn't add up. Beatrice you know those boots and stockings don't go with that outfit, you gotta step your fashion game up if you want to win Battlers heart soul life here :nyd:

I'm surprised nobody pointed it out yet...


... but did you know Phoenix Wright was pretty big when Umineko came out?



It's pretty blatant in the original sprites. I had a passing interest in Phoenix Wright when I first read Umineko, but this sprite caught me off-guard in an "Oh my god, really?????" sort of way.

So if we can circle back to the epitaph for a little bit, what does it actually mean to be "chosen by the key"? I know the whole thing was called "the demon's roulette", but "chosen" implies there's something making a choice.

It's something of a key decision.

Can someone who is already spoiled bring up some relevant Kyrie art? I think I want an avatar of her at this point but I can't go looking.

Assuming you mean "18 years of Envy" Kyrie, I can probably find some more.
