Ahh, memories. The soundtrack didn't strike me as very out of the ordinary at first until I heard system0. But when I did, I fell in love with this game's music.

I supposed that this would be a good time for this. George's original sprite is slightly pudgy, and it's become a joke that George is incredibly fat.

Man seeing the old sprite art brings back memories. I know some people hate it, but I think it has a little bit of charm to it personally. But I understand why people prefer the PS3 sprites above all else.

And yeah George is kind of creepy toward Shannon just a little. Mostly because he's 23 or 24 if I'm remembering right and she's 16. George's outfit in this is actually supposed to be a slight reference to a character from Higurashi, who he shares some similarities with.

I'm pretty sure he's not that old. Jessica, Battler, and Shannon are all in the 16-18 range, in fact I'm pretty sure they're all 17. George is only a year or two older than Battler, so he's 20 at most, leaving an age gap of only 1 to 4 years, if my memories are right. Regardless, none of them are independent, so seeing how George has a reputation of maturity, him living with his parents in his mid-20s is a little farfetched.

edit:Okay, according to the wiki, they're all 18 and George is 23. Still only a 5 year gap.

I'll say this: I refuse to believe the obvious answer pushed at us in the final episodes, even if it means I have to go full Watsonian.

PLOT TWIST:
This whole story was just an elaborate S&M session between Battler and a dominatrix. When you're from a rich family, you can afford to have really elaborate fetishes.

Umineko ends when Battler and Maria accidentally capture Beatrice in a hilarious chase scene, unmasking her and revealing her to be Captain Kuwabata

And then everyone dies anyway, at least if Higurashi taught me anything.

Beato isn't big on Safe, Sane and Consensual, is she? :gonk:

Hey, Battler never said the safe word.

Ah, here we go, the first really memorable line in the series and the scene that cements DotG as Battler's theme. This scene is what really made me fall in love with Umineko.

I kinda hope that at the end, none of them get the money. All these kids are just terrible people!

Or it comes out that it's solid gold bars, but it's only gold foil and nothing but chocolate inside.

That's the real reason everybody died. Death by chocolate.
