![]() ![]() I don't care too much about the mystery at the moment anyway, I just really need this chapter to be over. I don't want to flood this too much with my own double posts. Given this post I'll try to keep quiet until the end of chapter 4. #Umineko when they cry logo series#I really, really, really hope this is the lowest point of the series because this is turning into pure torture. #Umineko when they cry logo full#Torture, dismemberment, describe the 30 nails technique to me, one by one, in full detail, it'll be easier to watch than this. I'm begging for the first murder to happen already so that the tone shifts again. ![]() But at the same time I have to keep going, I want to end this iteration and go back to the happy half of the story. I thought the argument at school before was bad (masterpiece of a scene, I tell you) but this came and now I just want to stop. I'm steel feeling a bit weak in the legs. I genuinely lost physical strength by the end of it, it took some effort to stand up. Turns out everything is a lot worse when you don't say it out loud. I can't complain they didn't give me a heads up, the notes at the end of the previous episode suggested as much, but it somehow turned out to be a much more painful scene to watch than I imagined. Still a lot of questions but I'm also addicted so on to chapter 3. Of course, none of this matters because then the all cast review comes and reveals that the author already knows everything you're thinking, and takes your theories and plays with them and storms he's good. So rather than the difference between chapters being that she was possessed in one but not in the other, I think she has a demon in both, and is aware of it, but it stayed dormant in this chapter. It's like their personalities mix together and they can be like, 80% in control vs 20% for example.Īs a final point, Rena didn't have her demon in charge in this chapter, but she did seem to know what they are and how they work. Keiichi does describe a sudden switch from one to the other, but Mion here seemed to retain all her memories, both when it was the demon speaking and when it was her. And on that topic, they don't seem to overcome their personalities completely. I'm still partial to actual supernatural beings invading their bodies though. It's far fetched but I guess a drug that changes your personality and convinces you that there's a demon inside you is as good an explanation as any at this point. Looking forward to her chapter.īack to the demon, they did mention the Sonozaki family deals in mind-affecting drugs. Oh yeah, this story just hates Satoko, doesn't it? One would think the curse is bullying her specifically. DID passed through my head more than once and the game even mentions it but it just doesn't seem plausible for that many people to have it, you know? I mean ok, just two so far, but I kind of doubt Satoko and Rika will stay uninvolved. There's also the whole demon deal, there's several possible explanations but I don't find any of them entirely convincing just yet. What if every iteration is happening concurrently and evidence (specifically corpses) sometimes bleeds from one to the other? Mion probably falls into the well on camera in a later chapter but the body just so happened to appear in Watanagashi's reality. So to get the crazy baseless theories out of the way. So far on that category there's the drug, Keiichi's mysterious death at the very last second in chapter 1, the demons themselves, the director, the times of death that don't match, and we can probably throw Mion under Keiichi's bed in there too. ![]() Each chapter will be telling a story that makes a lot of sense on its own, then during the last episode it will rapid fire you with new questions that bring down the whole jenga tower, and then the next chapter doesn't address them at all. At the exact second I was finally convinced. Then episode 5 basically convinces you that she was fake all along and it's only then that you get to see both in the same room. Logic told me that Shion was real, but then the story would start throwing around evidence to the contrary and I'd be back to square one. I felt played with in episodes 1-5 (I'm calling them episodes for the sake of clarity). In hindsight chapter 1 only gives you a shallow understanding of who they are. Rena you absolute angel, who knew you could be such a wonderful character when the "demon" is not in charge? She's definitely my favorite character now but I look forward to knowing the other characters in depth. Really, a lot of the second half was wiping tears off my face. That was a huge change, the first chapter was full horror but this one was just a really bittersweet murder mystery. ![]()
