Wait, Bernkastel has her own TV show?

Krauss looks pretty badass and evil here, and it really helps that looks like Giovanni with a more American hair-cut. Heh, everything about him from this arc is so funny after EP4 and EP5.

EDIT: EDIT: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_episode_1_legend_of_the_golden_witch/v01/c004/15.html

Bern and 34 again. Also, aww... isn't Maria the cutest and most autistic loli ever?

There were some awkwardly-placed ****-faces earlier, but this is the first one that takes it into Medusa territory. It's worth noting that the artist for the EP1 manga is also doing the EP3 manga, which has a shitload of ridiculous facial expressions, up to and including this abortion:

So, everything before this was fairly tame, but I guess this is the point where silly art takes over.

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: OH YES I ALMOST FORGOT

I'll just quote it so that I may witness its glory for a bit longer.

and now some lol





massive arc 3 spoilers, and massive QUALITY

Claymore 112 - ...why do I even bother?

Franken Fran 47 - From the looks of things, there goes another recurring character. I HAVE NO CONTROL, AND I AM HUNGRY

Now reading Berserk. Yeah, this manga has its reputation cut out for it when the very first pages has Guts **** and killing some Apostle woman.

EDIT: I like how all of the anime that I watch are Slice of Life, and all of the manga that I read are gigantic messes of gore and other unpleasant ****.

EDIT: EDIT: An adorable and innocent girl. Approximate life expectancy in normal manga: 80%. Approximate life expectancy in Berserk: Zero. She appeared solely so she could be slaughtered, and it was so obvious; hell, she was wearing a modest, white dress.

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: I love this topic. It allows me to record the dates that I started and finished everything that I have watched since it was created, since going through the entire site to archive that information is a total ****.

- **** yes, extra Kämpfer episodes. I hope that we get Chiru and an 11eyes extension this year!
- I have one and a half months left to watch Kaiji. Fuuuuuuck.
- lolwut @ Toriko. Kamina takes steroids for breakfast and becomes a chef?
- TIGER&BUNNY aka "we're broke and we need moar moneyz"
- DEEN goes into yaoi. That's... surprising.
- Deadman Wonderland anime. Alright, screw everything else, I need to see what will come out of this.
- lolboxinganime. Hey, isn't Hajime no Ippo still getting new chapters?
- SOCK MONKEY WA KIMI GA SUKI
- X-MEN anime by Madhouse? ****...
- MARIA†HOLIC SEQUEL DEFINITELY WATCHING THIS
- I heard that the ChäoS;HEAd anime was terrible, so this new anime won't end well.

THAT'S IT

Eva is smoking hot.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_episode_1_legend_of_the_golden_witch/v02/c012/19.html

Of course, she's a giant **** in almost every scene in EP1 and EP2, sololeva. Also, Eva doesn't need to be insane and loli to have a **** face, I suppose.

EP1 Natsuhi kinda deserves it, though. She has a gigantic stick up her ass throughout the entire episode, though I suppose that she could have been worse; EP2 Rosa makes pretty much anyone miss EP1 Natsuhi.

Holy ****, Battler looks so badass.

Obligatory mention of Gaap. Unfortunately, she cannot fix the hole in her dress.

All of the money in the world couldn't stop young adult Eva from looking like a cowgirl.

Eva is so moe. But... this leads up to...

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_episode_1_legend_of_the_golden_witch/v03/c014/37.html

If there was a death flag count like in that one scene with Goat-kun in EP4, all of these scenes would have rated Eva as "totally screwed."

Eva is smoking hot.

agreed

[Maniac234678]

I find it odd that Eva-Beatrice manages to be one of the two flattest characters along with Maria when Eva has the largest chest next to maybe Natsuhi. Even Bernkastel and 34 have breasts, for crying out loud.

EDIT: Behold! Kanon's magic pants!

Maria is starting to look like... oh, I'll give it a rest. Just this once.

lol. Now that Kanon is dead, this episode can start to fail less. Well, I would wish that much.

Kanon's pants are back to normal.

hideyohi how do you make that typo in that context god

[Maniac234678]

Hideyoshi - Keeping his pimp hand strong, yo.

I should have taken this earlier. Also, quality is **** since VLC sucks.

[Maniac234678]

The anatomy in the Outlaw Star manga is pretty lulzy. It occasionally reaches the point where Gene's arms are as thick as his waist.

[Maniac234678]

Do you know what I'm doing for my birthday?

Finishing the Seacats anime.

wall of **** incoming, spoilers for everyone who cares (read: nobody):
















...and for good measure:



EP4 is the longest episode in Umineko (with the possible exception of EP8) by large amount; Deen really didn't see this coming, and so they've cut out a few scenes that would have improved the quality of the final product (namely the best part of Umineko's gameboard, Krauss versus Goat-kun). A few scenes have also shown how Deen failed to plan for the future, namely with the twist near the end of the main game, which ran under plot details that were removed from the anime in order to save room. The pacing of this fell apart at the beginning of the arc, but to be fair, the VN for EP4 is frequently vilified for the same reason, so it's not a problem for which Deen deserves every bit of blame. Then again, the lackluster adaptation didn't really help matters.

I have two episodes left, and I'm saving them for tonight. Episode 25 is the last episode that I've actually been looking forward to, so we'll see how that goes. I expect to take several more screenshots when that time comes.

[Maniac234678]

more spoilers

















Umineko anime has been completed. With this done, I have completed my first anime for the last six months. Way to go, me; I spent my Christmas and my birthday watching this abortion, so I must question my sanity. I cannot say anything about the ending that I haven't already expressed. In fact, the last episode reached a level of awfulness that I needed to play music from the VN in order to keep me satisfied.  I think that it says a lot that it took my marginally less time to finish the 26 episode Umineko anime than it took for me to finish Fist of the North Star, which stands at 109 episodes.

I'll close this chapter of my topic with one last depressing fact: more people on MAL have watched the Umineko anime than Hajime no Ippo. >_>

EDIT: Scratch that. This is the best way to **** on the Umineko anime's legacy:

I told you so.

[Maniac234678]

It takes me a while to read everything, but are you talking about Deadman Wonderland?

[Ƨɒlƚy]

No.
