Aw man, Umineko. I played through it a while ago but had trouble putting the pieces together on my own, so I'm looking forward to discussing it with people (without spoilers, of course). Good luck, Prof :toot:

Time for a witch hunt.

...I say this like I'm an expert on Japanese but that's not the case at all. I don't think I'm entirely wrong here but I can't assure you I'm not.

That looks right to me. (Not that I'm an expert either, but I do speak it :v:

Honestly the biggest sin the Umineko anime has committed, by far, was that they omitted the Goat-kun scene.

Aside from that, as I read Umineko for the second time the whole way through, I have to say that Krauss is probably the best of the four Ushiromiya siblings. Yes he can be a douchebag, no doubt, however...

-He never physically or emotionally abused his child like Rosa (and probably taught her fist fighting on the side, despite it not being "lady like")
-Did not cheat on his wife like Rudolf, who also two-timed both women even before marrying one.
-Did not become a crazy witch like Eva (if you believe in magic, which you should cause it's real.)

So yeah Krauss ain't perfect, but he basically turned out the most stable of the four despite having all the pressures of headship on him from Kinzo.

Counterpoint: his bullying is one of the major reasons Eva and Rosa are so hosed up (although you can, again, trace that back to Kinzo 'how badly can I gently caress my family up?' Ushiromiya.) He's definitely the best parent of the four siblings, though.

"Mother Asumu" sure is a translation choice they made. I assume that's supposed to be along the lines of Auntie Rosa vs Rosa-ba-san, but it makes her sound like a nun.

Also, Endless Nine is a good song.
