i see a lot of comments saying how they missed Ep. 1's ambiance, how it was such an engaging mystery & wished that feeling could have been carried over to the later chapters. i can definitely see where all these comments are coming from, but i feel like this is more of a failure of expectations than it is a flaw within the game. bc that's just it, isn't it? this was never meant to be your standard mystery. no matter what genre it's going for, Umineko was trying to subvert expectations & do something new & inventive with these things. the meta layers even bring the genre itself into question in the answer arcs. like a lot of things, what the genre of this story itself is supposed to be is (at least somewhat) open to interpretation. there's a reason we get to see aspects of both the mystery & fantasy perspective, & why neither of the endings are more "canon" than the other. what exactly this story was trying to do for each of the genres it plays with is ultimately up for the reader to decide. the answer is that there is no concrete answers, not really. (taking in the overall meta narrative, you also have to consider what the in-canon meaning of this might have been; episode 1 was Beato's very first catbox, the place where the story both begins and ends. taking this into consideration, what could it possibly mean that this episode feels like such a standout from the rest? this detail feels very deliberate & significant to me, but my sleep-deprived brain can't properly articulate why rn so i'll leave it there.) this was never going to be like Higurashi bc this isn't Higurashi. it might be a part of the greater wtc-verse, but Umineko is ultimately its own thing with its own goals, completely separate from its predecessor.
Are you enjoying the riddle of Kinzo-sama's epitaph? As you are all probably aware, you have very little time remaining. Please abandon any naive hopes of escaping after the storm passes. This game can only end with my victory or yours. When time runs out, I will win by default. There will be no ties. Make sure that you do not misunderstand your current situation.
In all of the time I've spent reading Umineko, this is the first time I've heard this and the first thing I pick up on is a quote from Star Trek: First Contact. Thank you, Umineko.
Super Saiya-jin Vegeta Did the makers of Umineko’s soundtrack pay royalties to Paramount Studios for the right to use that Star Trek First Contact sound clip?
@@NickStrife While using only a quote would be a grey area, the song uses audio directly taken from the Star Trek episode in question, which most definitely falls under copyright protection.
Yeah, "who placed letter" scene, there this theme plays is soooo fucking intence... i'd haved goosebumps all over my body, then read it first time. And even on reread it delivers just as much.

I have always thought this song was absolutely amazing and I cannot believe that, to the best of my memories, it only plays once in the entire series. Only when EP1 Natsuhi notices the Beato letter somebody slipped in Kinzo's Study, right?
They removed the delusional mind part from later releases, and maybe even as early as the last few games. So even if it did play again it may have been easy to miss it. That audio is from an old Star Trek episode, so it was probably removed for copy-right reasons. Edit: They also removed Tsurupettan from the PS3 version of the game, but not later PC releases. Probably more weird copy-right quirks.
You know, rather than Lofi Halloween songs or something, the disturbing vocal part at the beginning at least kind of reminds me of the weird, dark poetry in some tracks of Space Funeral games, I think. :? Can't remember what else this track reminds me, just that it's really distinct... :p
Theres something so legendary about the first time this song plays that it can hardly really be matched throughout media its a feeling thats so hard to be captured. It makes you feel like YOU are there with the guys and you feel the full force of the emotions right there with them, because throughout that episode the reader is treated as though it is one of Rokkenjima's guests
Visual Novel adaptations are often not good & just like Light Novel adaptations, they cannot say every word for word within the alotted time because it would drastically kill the pacing and budget. I think the most missing from adaptations are the characters thoughts which are pretty important to the plot itself and how they see and feel through this new realm they are entering. The major problem with Umineko is it's one of the longest visual novels at the top the list, at least 150-250+ hours so you would need calculations of somewhere around 300+ episodes to adapt the whole thing but most of the anime would be talking.
When the drop of this song hits, i instantly imagine Battler coming to see Natsuhi after the bullet sound, and then i feel what "Beatrice" felt at that moment. Her entire world ending inside of her mind and out of it. The deepest nightmarish moment of all.
Sadly the first episode was the best of all. Never have i experienced such an intense and exciting mystery story. Until the end unsure who or even what killed them all. Unsure if Beatrice was just a fairy tale with an actual murderer lurking in the shadows or if she was real. It was SOO nerve wrecking, soo well written. I mean, later episodes also had their moments, they surely did, but somehow the genre shifted. It always remained a mystery story, but more and more fantasy elements were added and FOR ME that took away from what made episode 1 so amazing.
If you're looking for something similar to episode one, then you should read higurashi no naku koro ni, it has the all the tension from umineko ep 1, but all the meta elements are gone.
"Believing one's self to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind". A metaphor for battler's view of beato abd beato mocking battler for his denial of her perfection
Does anyone know another Umineko soundtrack with voice lines just like this one? The soundtrack had a weird name, with smooth melody. I recall it was a child talking in it but I forgot what the words were. Pls help me, I've been looking for that ost for years 😭😭😭
I checked your End sheet. First:Please don't tell me that you really are trying to go for a Last TIS clear as part of the challenge. Second: I want to know what happens if you get all six stones. Third: What was the bgm playing in the Avoidance? and Lastly: Glad that I was at the stream when it happened.
Small bombs, from a small being trying to attack what it doesn't understand
Hey that move was genius xd
Beatrice's sheer seemingly omniscient presence in Ep1 is so incredible.
As the story went on, I missed that feeling
Yeah, that feeling never returned. FOR ME Ep1 was the best. Such an incredibly well written mystery. It would work even as a stand alone story.

A hint towards what, the submarine in episode 7? Come on.
Having watched the anime first before starting the VN i had no idea how much better the VN would be. Currently on Episode 2.
It's soo good! I just finished EP 8 of the VN and wow, you're gonna love the rest of the VN.
I watched the anime first aswell. I did enjoy it, but there's alot of scenes missing. Still the show is enjoyable
