Hey /vn/, what do we think about Umineko no Naku Koro ni?

Personally I loved the first episode, even more so than the first arc of Higurashi. But the second episode pretty much lost me, I hated the fan-service circlejerk references (Touhou! NicoNico! Tomitake Flash!). Not to mention the plot went from an interesting whodunnit with a slightly mythical undertone to an interesting whodunnit with copies of the major characters giving commentary and magical butler ninjas fighting mysophobic goats. I'm just hoping the third episode is going to make more sense.

The second episode did give us the sisters though, which are the hottest girls in the whole When They Cry series.

If this is more repeating time/alternate dimension bullshit, I swear to GOD I'm going to massacre everyone.

Not only is it repeating time/alternate dimension, but it's doubly annoying as a copy of the protagonist and the antagonist (who do know what happened last time) keep reminding you of that fact by commenting on what's happening.

Of course. Nobody is immortal. (With the possible exception of space witches.)

In other words, the first arc is good and it goes straight to shit right after that, just like Higurashi did? How very surprising.

Mainly there are 2 popular theories in Japanese fanbase.

First, the truth of scenes which aren't Battler's viewpoint may have been overwritten by the illusion of the witch obeying some kind of rule.
For example, overwritten by the minds of those who have reached the golden village at the previous story(in case of ep2, they are George, Jessica and Maria).

Second, all stories except the last arc may be merely a doubtful "evidence" by the text written by someone(in case of ep2, it's Maria's notebook in the wine bottle, found in the last scene of ep1).

>>99235
There are some indications that the second arc is just a ruse of sorts (for example all the "magic" happens when the protagonist isn't around) so who knows. And it isn't all bad, it's just not as good a story as the first.

It's famous that official vote of 07th doesn't represent majority.
It is voted by a few saimoe-tard-like people.
Of course I didn't, because I feel registration is bothersome.

I found it interesting that there are so many comments in Bernkastel's section consisting of "にぱ～☆" or "みー". It seems that Rika fans are supporting her in force.

Quite possibly. Though her comments section in the popularity contest after the release of the first chapter of Umineko was also full of miis and nipas.
