Welcome to Rokkenjima Mansion - October 4, 1986.

3ZXZx.jpg

The stage is set for the annual gathering of the Ushiromiya Family.

The patriarch of the Ushiromiya family has summoned his progeny to discuss the oft-debated subject of his inheritance.

It's well known that the Ushiromiya family's founder, Kinzo, has grown ill as of late.

Each of Kinzo's children claim to have the best laid plans for putting his wealth to use, and each has brought members of their own family to the conference in hopes of winning his favor.

They have all been deceived.

Kinzo has plans of his own: the enactment of a ritual decades in the making.

The summoning of the legendary Golden Witch of Rokkenjima: Beatrice.

To survive and claim a fortune beyond measure, one must only solve the witch's epitaph, and discover the true paradise awaiting in the Golden Land.


This is a story of both mystery and fantasy. Could the culprit truly be a witch, or merely a delusional mortal killer?

Strive to solve the epitaph, or when the seagulls cry, there will be no one left alive.

Such is the inimitable power of the red truth.

It's a useless dream to try and kill me. Even if you shoot lead bullets, they will rebound to your pitiful body as if from a mirror.
However, there is one way to kill me. It is possible for you to grasp that method with your own hands.

But it may prove impossible for a simpleton like you. EHIHIHIHIHIHIHI.

    is knowledge of the source material virtually a requirement or pretty damn helpful?

    Not a requirement at all. Couldn't hurt, though.

    Almost halfway there!
    ...I guess it's a slow period.

    Personally, I've been very engrossed in Obi's main. Especially because there have been things to do after death.

    I suspect that once it's over (should be very soon), things'll fill right up.

    By the way: even though Episodes 1-4 of the source material do in fact have 19 named characters, role calling will not help.

    What about roll calling?

    What I gather is that this is a game about sad birds. I hope I get to be a pigeon.

    I guess I could just cut out the mafia and have the village playing round-robin for five days.

    I don't want to be mean but I checked out a video of this on Youtube and... It sort of seems like standard anime schlock?

    I don't know what video you watched, but I'd take it with a grain of salt. Without spoilers, Umineko is a blend of fantasy and murder mystery that does some really neat things with both genres. It is also easily the most meta thing I've ever seen, including some interesting musings on the nature of murder mysteries and the relationship between author and readers.

    If the video just showed random action scenes, I can understand someone getting the impression that it's just generic anime, but there's a lot more to it.

    Also what is "standard anime schlock"?

    Actually don't answer and lets just preemptively agree to disagree :)

    I don't want to get too deep down the anime rabbit-hole, especially because it's "taboo" but I'll PM you a thing.
