== [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]] ==
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]] - If you hear [[Tomokazu Sugita|Ronove]] and [[Daisuke Ono|Battler]] talking, you may be reminded on [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|another well-known story about a quite eccentric "heroine", who can reset the world.]] Better yet, their roles are more or less reversed.
** If you listen closely to both [[Emi Shinohara|Natsuhi]] and [[Miki Ito|Eva]], you might notice how sour they are towards each other. Contrast that with their roles as Youko and Sachiko respectively in ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru (Light Novel)|Mariasama ga Miteru]]''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Land of the Golden Witch. Originally, [[What Could Have Been|EP 3 was supposed to be much more difficult than the EP 3 we got (Banquet of the Golden Witch)]]. And by much more difficult, I mean [[Beyond the Impossible|much harder in difficulty than both Legend and Turn.]] However, because Ryukishi found that many players were having trouble, he decided to lower the difficulty in order to give players more of a helping hand. This was explained in game as {{spoiler|Land being a message in a bottle, like Legend and Turn. However, unlike Legend and Turn, Land was never found, as revealed to Piece!Ange by Piece!Beato in EP 8.}} [[Word of God|Ryukishi has gone on record saying]] that he doesn't plan to release Land, as he says he incorporated all the clues that were in it into other arcs. But, of course, [[Sequel Hook|this doesn't mean that it will never be found...]]
** One thing that was added to Banquet that wasn't in Land was the inclusion of Ronove and the inclusion of the [[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Cat|Cat Box]] as hinted by Virgilia. Originally, the Cat Box discussion would've been left for an Answer Arc, [[Beyond the Impossible|which would have made EPs 3 and 4 at the least really hard for Battler to solve.]] [[What Could Have Been|Some of the things that were to be included in Land]] were apparently a character named "Virgilius" who was to be a guide for Battler (like Virgilia), but who {{spoiler|acted like Erika.}} Another is that {{spoiler|part of Land was to be purportedly narrated from Yasu's point of view.}} It was said to also have had a few clues that were very important for the mystery but, because of Land's exclusion, were introduced as late as EP 5 and 6 canonically. [[What Could Have Been|Had Ryukishi kept Land]]--and thus {{spoiler|Yasu}} and those "vital clues"--he probably could have avoided {{spoiler|[[Internet Backdraft|criticism for his execution of the mystery's answer]] and the mystery probably would have been [[Fair Play Who DunnitWhodunnit|more fair]]}}.

* In Chapter 4, the name of Rosa's clothing shop, Anti-Rosa, is mentioned, as well as its slogan. A quick google search reveals a blog of the exact same name, although the site's slogan is one word different from the slogan mentioned in Umineko. But it only has one post, translated (roughly) from Portuguese: "Good night. Good night, Fátima." But otherwise, there seems to be no other connection to Rosa's shop than that.

* The magical text that appears in the [[Visual Novel]] when the Siestas attack is Japanese transliterated into the Greek alphabet. If you translate it into English, you get:

* In the anime episode 16, when Siesta 45 prepares to hit, there are a number of Russian phrases of all things, seemingly taken from a Russian-Whateverlanguage phrasebook ("Здравствуйте" - "Hello", "Желаю счастья" - "Wish you luck/happiness", "Жду вашего ответа" - "Waiting for your response", "Как Ваше здоровье" - "How is your health" and a good number of others).
Line 41 ⟶ 46:
** Interestingly, Clair's name can also be a reference to the wife of the real Willard Huntington Wright, who painted under the name Claire De Lisle, or a reference to Muriel St. Clair, a character from one of Wright's detective novels.
* Gaap's clothes are said to be from "Devilish pretty". "Angelic pretty" is an extremely popular angelic lolita clothing brand.
* Sakutaro was orginally going to be named "Sakura" by Maria, after the heroine of the popular TV show ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Card Master]] [[Expy|Sakura]]''.
* According to EP 6, Virgilia's full name is "Publius Virgilia Maro".
* I was just brushing up on my Christie...
