Guest knockblock Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Plot Summary: 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, Rokkenjima). The head of a wealthy family named Kinzo Ushiromiya, who lives on and owns Rokkenjima, is near death, and eight of his family members arrive on the island to discuss how Kinzo's assets will be divided once he is dead. Also on the island are three family members who live there, five of Kinzo's servants, and his personal physician. After the eight family members arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island and shortly after people start to get mysteriously murderedVolumes: 44 different arcs (Ongoing) first arc: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=21813 Published by: YenPressAnime Episodes: 26Has anyone watched this anime? It is one of the When They Cry series. Along with Higurashi. If you don't know what Higurashi is, there is a thread for it, you can go check that out. Now the anime at hand is When The Seagulls Cry. The protagonist is Battler. He is the character trying to figure out the mystery on the island. It is about 17 episodes right now. I've seen 16 episodes. The mystery surrounding the Ushiromiya family and the island is compelling. There seems to be 3 chapters so far.What do you think of Umineko?

Guest knockblock Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I don't find Umineko as good as Higurshi either. I like Higurashi better. I'll get some pictures from this anime if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dearest.me Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes! Finally a topic on Umineko. I've been watching this series since it first came out although it took me a few episodes to actually get it and get stuck into it. It's great and full of action with included trippyness. ;D The lovey-dovey parts are like...eh but nevertheless, it's awesome. I never watched Higurashi...maybe I will now.

Guest kassue Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The anime is pretty dissapointing so far, since Studio Deen is skipping so much stuff.. Still I liked Beato's adorable crackles and Kinzo's rock opera lol. I recommend everyone to atleast try to play the game/sound novel first though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Autumn1430263885 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 i was watching this when it started..it started out pretty good but it got kinda boring so i stopped watching...higurashi's better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EHNerJI Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Lol, yeah Higurashi is definitely a lot better. I forget what episode of Umineko I got to.. It was okay, a bit boring after a while. The storyline is pretty interesting, though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knockblock Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The witch stuff is getting blah. I miss Higurashi now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m a r a n t h Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well it's on episode 21 now. I do like it overall, although it confuses the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xdeathberry Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 haha yeah. it's confusing but then I'm just like "oohh." lol I really like it though. Makes ya think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xzaxie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I really love Umineko! To a anime con I cosplayed Lambdadelta ^___^ (My picture lol xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knockblock Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ever since Ange, or whatever her name is, appeared on the series I have become jaded. So I guess I'm not alone in thinking that Umineko lost the thing that made it interesting in the first arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace_UP Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I agree with those who said Higurashi's better. Higurashi, despite it's total bloodshed ripping nail stabbing throat craziness, was amazing. I watched Umineko mainly cause they made Higurashi, and of course, Bernkastel. =x I really liked Umineko in the beginning. Even though it confuses me, it was intriguing. Although, I kind of lost interest in the newer arcs. Battler's logic is just, no comment. >__> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Take Five Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i stopped watching the anime pretty early on and started reading the novel instead. i guess i'll get back to it someday after i'm done, even though it's kinda crap compared to the novel. overall, it's interesting but really weird at the same time. i'm not really a mystery person so i can't make heads or tails about what could really be going on lol.

Guest knockblock Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 26 episodes have finished airing. Any thoughts on how it came down to the end? Battler is able to best Beatrice in the end. It appears there will be more focus on background of Beatrice. Another season seems to be on the way. Does anyone else find the witches laugh annoying or irritating?

Guest kassue Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 ...I'm speechless. The last episode had everything that I DIDN'T think would make it (like Kinzo's dragon and small bombs) but other things got cut like Ange burgers (which would have been hilarious) Too bad DEEN messed up hardcore with the last scene (Beato~ TTwTT) and made a Chiru anime impossible :/ Although the Trollkastel and Lamba scene at the end was delicious. Either way, it's been a "so bad its good" season and I pray to god that Chiru is never animated p.s I'm still waiting for my Beato bedsheet, DEEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hot Fire Neko Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I loved this series, but the ending to the first season? made me want to kill things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
