Umineko: When They Cry/Fridge: Difference between revisions

'''Here Be Spoilers:''' This page is full of them. '''You have been warned.'''

 

* At first, EP1 looks like a boring family drama with a very slow pacing. If you look at it again after reading some of Chiru, you'll notice that it is actually {{spoiler|describing the problems and qualities of the suspects.}} Similarly, EP2 looks like a magical trainwreck at first, but makes a lot of {{spoiler|metaphorical}} sense later.

** In EP4, Beatrice says that it takes at least two people to create a galaxy. During the [[Power of Love|duel to get love that will succeed miraculously]] in EP6, that line is repeated, only now with [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|a much more metaphorical and introspective meaning.]]

** This is probably unintentional but: It's widely accepted that the series becomes much better once EP 3 starts, once you've finished EP 8 it's apparent why {{spoiler|Hachijo Toya wrote EP 3 through 6, so they all jumped up in quality}}

 

* [[Tropers/Xelloss 08|Xelloss 08]]:

** The "Sweet World Of Witches" sequence of EP 4, when Maria kills Rosa over and over again, is horrifying in its own right. But buried under the obvious horror is a second, more subtle layer of horror. From an anti-fantasy standpoint, what Maria is doing is venting her feelings of hatred against her mother by repeatedly killing her in her imagination. This is driven home in another scene where Battler teases Maria. When he asks for her forgiveness, she gives her 'Kihihihi...' laugh, and seems to be counting the 'hi's, as though imaginining something brutal happening to Battler each time...

** In EP6, Battler seems to really hate how the resurrected Beatrice keeps calling him "father". While at first you can just assume that he doesn't like it because it reminds him of how different this Beatrice is from the old one, {{spoiler|1=in EP7, we find out the truth behind Beatrice's origins, and [[Parental Incest|how disturbing the implications behind the word "father" really are]].}}
