This is one track that I can't ever forget: don't take anything the story tells you for granted, doubt everything, and think about the true meaning of every line. to truly appreciate and understand Umineko, you have to always think between the lines. if I'm not mistaken, there is more than 100+ tracks, and there was a lot of piano! it captured the atmosphere perfectly.Ī lot of people didn't understand it very well too. The music remains the best I've encountered in any VN. the adults always thought of themselves and their own interests as you would expect from them, the kids were well mannered like what you'd expect from a prestigious family, and the servants were as important to the story as anyone else. after the first episode it became more original and started to show its true colors. The first episode was a mix of Agatha's (Hercule Poirot's Christmas) and (And Then There Where None), but with the Japanese style of writing with strong and slow world building and more philosophical, human drama. no not only VN, I actually don't think I've ever read a novel as good and thought provoking or as intelligent as UminekoĮverything about it was unforgettable to me. It is the best visual novel I've ever read, and a work that I always think about.

If you can stick with it until the end, and accept what the VN has to tell you, you'll definitely be glad you did. Even if I say it's not for everyone, I'd still urge anyone that thinks they can handle the commitment to give it a shot. Regardless of everything else, Umineko is a VN that I won't forget.

Again, though, while there is a patch for the PS3 portraits + backgrounds, it's unofficial and in a legal gray-area. The faces aren't quite as expressive as the original portraits, but most of the time they stack up quite well - and some added detail for some characters definitely help elevate the VN in their own way. They maintain most of the feel of the original portraits while smoothing over the rough edges. but I'd still concede that the portraits for, again, the PS3 version are the best middle ground. They grew on me, and especially the facial expressions are a step above of the other options. The original portraits, while they have plenty of charm are rather amateur. Similarly, the 'default' portraits, that being the new sprites ripped from a Pachinko title, are rather odd.

There's a patch that adds in the voices from the PS3 version - fantastic voice-acting that really elevates all of the scenes - though it is an unofficial patch with questionable legality, so I can't recommend you download it or point you to where you can find it. Also, the official release of Umineko, while the translation is fantastic, lacks some features that some might consider irreplacable. The word count for both halves combined is 3x the size of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I won't say that the story is for everyone. and even if what was shown might've been an illusion, when the dead are really gone the most you can hope for is that the family of the departed can look back fondly on those that left them behind. I hated most of the family's guts when I had finished Episode 4, though by the end of the story I understood what made them tick. I don't think I've read such a human tale, ironically considering just how fantastical some of the scenes that are portrayed really are. At first, I wasn't sure if that was intentional, but the more I read - the more it felt that my interpretation wasn't just a coincidence. and can literally translate to 'the family that watches over you'. 後ろ見家 is another possible way of writing out 'Ushiromiya'. One thing that especially struck hard during Ep 8 was when I realized that 'Ushiromiya' can actually be interpreted differently from how the original Kanji is written. No matter what she may or may not know, no matter what society chooses to accept about the Rokkenjima Explosion - it's Ange's right to believe that her family never truly left her, that they were always there - watching over her from afar. How much of the tale was actually fantasy? How much was just the 'magic' Ange finds inside herself? In the end, it doesn't matter. Ange could never accept and move on from her families deaths. Everything remains shrouded in that illusion - but even if the truth was never found, we come to understand the story embodying the tragedy that had occurred. We never do learn the truth, even at the end.
