Ah man, Banquet of the Golden Witch. This was the episode that really hooked me on Umineko. It’s wonderful finally having more to go on regarding the mystery and the unfolding of the mystery of this episode in particular was great. While I love Battler and Beato’s solo interactions, adding Ronove and Virgilia made the meta scenes so much more fun. The entire episode was just such a joy to read.
The red web made me truly give up. I had no clue how it was ever going to be resolved. Nowadays I look back and see it very differently. Kyrie’s philosophy was right ^^ Still though, Evatrice went from someone I just looked at as an annoying spoiled child to someone legitimately frightening in that scene. And then that ending happens and I feel like an idiot for not realizing it earlier
