Yet, Umineko by the end made me appreciate each character and “view them with love”. When I mean terrible, I mean each and every cast member (on the island) is a terrible person by moral standards (except for the four cousins and some of the servants, but especially the adults). Umineko also has a terrible cast of characters. This links to its one of its core ideas that the objective truth is hard to find, but when you do find it, it may be the most unpleasant or boring truth to be revealed. Umineko has an underlying story that is rather simple, but covers it in a complex maze. One thing that is interesting is in Higurashi I loved the characters, but found some of the story parts rather simplistic. I started Umineko based on watching Higurashi, which also tackled several difficult themes like Umineko. I don’t really know what to say of Umineko, other than Ryukishi is a master at storytelling. If one person, A was in a room with another person, B, and both A and B said there was an elephant in the room, and they were the only two people in the room, would you believe them? Are they really telling the truth, that there was an elephant in the room? Would you try to ask them to film it? But what if the film was edited? If that’s the case what is true? Umineko’s answer and its central theme is “without love, it cannot be seen”. The truth is nothing more than just a view. However, as I read on, the truth just became more and more pointless. After all, I’m in CS because I like problem solving, and so I tackled it with an intent to beat the author’s expectations and overcome the challenges. How can it be both? What is truth? I started Umineko with the intent to solve its mysteries. Umineko is the most tragic story I’ve read. What a tragedy to befall the cast, as if it was all karma. Umineko is the happiest love story I’ve read. Note I also have read the manga adaption of Umineko EP 8, which includes the Confessions of the Golden Witch. So begins my review of Umineko (This includes both the questions arc and Chiru, the answers arc). THERE ARE SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!!!!!!
#UMINEKO ANIME PATCH#
Also, do yourself a favor and get the PS3 patch which adds voices and better art. DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME. I recommend reading the VN for the best experience, but the manga does work, although you lose some of the amazingness of the experience. Don’t look up spoilers at all. For the best experience, I would find a friend or two to read this with you blind. There will be spoilers in my review, but if you want a verdict, I must recommend you go put this on your reading list. After the eleven family members arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island and shortly after people start to get mysteriously murdered. Also on the island are five of Kinzō’s servants, and his personal physician. The head of a wealthy family named Kinzō Ushiromiya, who lives on and owns Rokkenjima, is near death, and eleven of his family members arrive on the island to discuss how Kinzō’s assets will be divided once he is dead. Umineko no Naku Koro ni takes place in the year 1986 during the time frame of October 4 and October 5 on a secluded island named Rokkenjima (六軒島). The premise of the story is a mystery, but the mystery is beyond any mystery I’ve read before. Each contain 4 arcs, and together the 8 arcs present a brilliant story that rivals any great story. Umineko is made up of two different visual novels, umineko and umineko chiru. And Umineko ranks incredibly high on the list of current visual novels. Some visual novels incorporate choose your own adventure, but Umineko is a linear story. Visual novels are a part of the anime/Japanese visual culture, basically you can think of them as novels but with animations/art/voices/music. Umineko no Naku Koro ni, or When the Seagulls Cry, or Umineko for short by 07th Expansion.
Today I am going to be reviewing a visual novel, one of the greatest of all time, and can be definitely be called a masterpiece.
