Poseidon© Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 So far, I'm loving it. It's just really complex, and they show it in a very nice way, so any idiot (tempted to swear there. ;D) can understand it. Discuss it, and it's connection to Higurashi (Berneskal or however they spell it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 It's "Bernkastel". Apparently, it's the name of one of the alcoholic beverages that a certain Higurashi character was fond of using to drink away the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (Berneskal or however they spell it) RAAAEEEGGG! Anyway I've seen a few episodes but it wasn't on purpose, I was looking for the music. Tbh it's what I like about the show.=DWell to be really honest it's what I like about most things... But the Anime is brutal and the insane important characters get the spotlight while the mediocre non-important characters just get killed and no one cares, right?

Mizuku Kagirinai Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I thought this series was excellent. I can't wait for Game 5 onwards to be made into the Anime format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higurashi, with one notable exception, generally only has blood show up once per arc. Umineko, by its very premise, has bloody show up pretty much every episode, since eighteen people need to die and there isn't a whole lot of time in which to kill them all.

And don't forget the part where Shion "defeated all those who killed Satoshi-Kun". Anyways, I am Japanese, and therefore have access to unsencored Umineko. But I only watch it when my parents aren't around... they don't want a 12-year old watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Oh Goodness, it was horrible. If Higurashi was going to make a sequel, it should be at least good, right? No, this wasn't. Unfortunately, Umineko No Naku Koro Ni is not a psychological thriller or an anime with a great debate. It's like... Surviver: Scooby Doo Edition.

Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Lol. That's a good way to put it. Of course, I've just learned some characters are gonna be introduced based on Knox's law. Of course, if I was somehow placed into Battler's position, I would die. Damn 5th law of Knox, saying no Chinamen are allowed. Jking. http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/Knox%27s_Decalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Do you think blood and gore is an aspect that can automatically make an anime great? It doesn't have any sort of amazement if the blood and gore is pointless, has no unique killing strategies, or turn it up suspense wise. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni failed to do so. In all honesty, if they were going to make an anime trying to live up to the wow factor of Higurashi, they should've at least made the characters very interesting and less annoying, but they failed at that too =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windowlicker Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Needs more ecchi. :/ Nah, I liked it, but I still think it isn't as good as Higurashi.At least it wasn't as boring as Koro Rei, though. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umineko and Higurashi aren't even the same genre; Higurashi was firmly suspense/horror, whereas Umineko is much more Mystery. If you only examine Umineko to see which of Higurashi's strong qualities it also holds, you will be disappointed because you will overlook Umineko's other strengths. (And the gore of both is of no interest to me and in my opinion is largely unnecessary; I only see it as being included in Higurashi because ten seconds of gore enhances two hours of suspense, and in Umineko because the manner of death is somewhat relevant.) Incidentally, I'm surprised that you can claim that Umineko has no unique killing strategies, considering that we don't even know what the killing strategies are thanks to Umineko's narrator being about as reliable as Fox News is actually fair and balanced. I would also argue that some of Umineko's kills are plenty unique; an average kill will still include a plan with several levels of planning: 1) Summon a schoolgirl.2) Have the schoolgirl turn into a flying stake and pierce someone in the chest.3) Create a magical resurrection of that person with a sword for an arm to kill people.4) Build locked rooms around everything.
