| I really liked the twist with the ring at the end. Gave it a nice punch. But they're dying off really fast! six people in one episode including a servant which means no one is safe! How many eps is this series? two more episodes and there will be no one left. |
 |
| I didnt think they would kill so many so soon.. That was sad about Shannon.. Battler was lame. |
    |
| Holy shit. |
| excellent never have so many supposed characters die so fast since Soukou no Strain other characters besides teh main characters pshaw no need for other characters poor Big Boobs though T_T. they are probably going to do time loop too??? or the rest of teh people will take longer to kill uuuuuu Maria is busy watching higurashi dont bother her uuu or you will die uuuu |
 |
| wow pretty awesome episode *___* when I read the Manga it was kinda boring so I didn't continue it, but the Anime is so interesting :D and Maria is really annoying >.< |
| i'm sorry, but i think i cried TEARS OF AWESOME man I love 07th expansion |
| Awesome!!! Being a huge fan of Higurashi, this show was obviously a much watch for me, and it has not disappointed. This episode was crazy, so much brutal murder already!!! |
| I must say this episode is awesome and Maria watching Higurashi! haha loved it! |
 Make me a Siggy? |
| Finally home... and now my pictures that show the Higurashi plugging! :/ Where have we seen this swan before? Starry Eyes, Purple Hair... Hmmm Light purple hair with a red stripped tie... Now... personally... I wouldn't let a girl of a prepubesent age watch Higurashi... but go figure~ |
   |
| Why the interesting characters are dead? =( Kyrie, Rose and Shannon. I would prefer in that space the death of Kanon (Kill him now, he's annoying in novel and anime), Eva & Hideyoshi ( Seriously Eva is just like Takano from Higurashi, i close my eyes and is Takano, and for me that is a bad seiyuu, if she voice Lambdadelta with the same voice I'll hate it ¬¬ and Hideyoshi is completely different from the first part of the game. I like it both when i play the first part of game but not in the first part of the anime =/ ) But I like this chapter, the pacing is very good and with the deaths this will be more interesting =) Waiting the next! I like Shannon for the same reason i dont like Eva. Thx God i didnt close my eyes when Shannon spoke to hear Taiga's or Shana's voice. Kudos to Rie for that. The seiyuu is very important in the character development =) Kouta~ |

| What an ending....wow! |
| It was good but i'm a bit disappointed they killed off half the cast in one fell swoop. |
 |
| Now this is more like it. While it's still pretty fast-paced, the important parts are covered, plus the music is great. I hope this keeps up. |
 |
| Sweeeet. I'm getting that Higurashi feel that I really like. 5/5 |
 |
| It was better than the first one, and it really suprised me that that much persons died allredy. |
 |
| This is why I like Umineko better than Higurashi. At least for now. Maria has the same seiyu as Hanyuu from Higurashi. Coincidence? I have to agree that not all seiyu did a decent job.... but the BM was nice. |

| what...? so this maid Kanon...is not a girl? o_______O are you sure? D: anyway ending was mindfucking, i didnt expect to see half of the cast dead already. and lol when i was watching the first episodes opening i thought Rosa will be kind of important and shes dead XD her and Shanon i will miss |

I thought he's a boy? no? Is he Shannon's twin? If so, I wouldn't be surprised they swap like Shion/Mion.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I played the sound novel and knew what was going to happen... but I still cried at shannon dying (yes, i'm an emotional person XD ) the when they cry series just does that to me |
| Hidden Moonlight 隠された月光 |
| Is it me or did Battler's expression seem like he was faking it when he saw the bodies? x_x |
    |
| lol! was that Hanyuu on the tv that Maria was watching? xD |
| Seriously? I'm the only one who thinks Rosa deserved it? |
| The padlock was too funny. And this family is oblivious to Maria clearly being possessed while reading that letter. |
| Going into this anime blindly, I am really pleased with it so far. This ep was awesome in my opinion. I mean the ending was awesome I knew that there would be death but not to that magnitude.. I agree with a user above about Jessica's scream it was really good, Battler could have been a bit better, Maria is as strange as ever(I think she holds the key). George was really cute :) so sad at the end :( I hate how they don't give any preview for next ep... but that could spoil some of it so I guess it's good they don't >.< Can't wait for next episode |

No, Shannon and Kanon are not related by blood, all the maids' / butlers' names end with 'on' if I remember correctly. And Kanon is a boy, I don't see anything girly 'bout him :------------DDD |

| Quite nice. I was expecting a couple of people to die already but not six. Good job of building up the suspence, at least for those of us who haven't played the visual novel already. Shameful confession: me and my siblings made a 4x4 square with the names of the characters and we're playing death bingo - first player to line up four dead characters wins. It's terribly addicting. About the next people to die... It's not technically a spoiler since it's just the epitaph and I suppose it wasn't read fully because they cut stuff. However I'll put it behind a cut just in case. About the "second twilight" it says: |

Kanon honestly looks like the quiet type that's crazed deep down under with a tragic past. Or maybe it's just the hat that reminds me of Rena's behavior from Higurashi, I'm not for sure. ^^;; |

| Much better than I expected. Same drill with letting stuff out, and I was pretty disappointed at the lack of Hope (the George Shannon scene was otherwise really beautiful). Though, got mixed feelings all over the last scene: Hearing rahu_goldenslaughter made me really happy and the characters did act well, but the scene itself was too short. And this is something that makes me incredibly sad: They're using much time and energy to make something wonderful, yet they sink their own work from perfection by doing small blunders. Small blunders that hurt the anime a lot. There are still lots of awesome scenes to adapt, so I'll still give DEEN their chances. They're really close, but could close in so much more! |
logboy said: I find it funny This isn't the first the first time Japanease people use Hebrew letters and words for their magic incantations... I believe it's actually supposed to be Aramaic (same letters and form, different grammar and pronounciations), which has a bit more history, particularly mystical, than Hebrew. It is in fact often considered a primary language for spells an incantations due to its use in biblical and pre-biblical writings, so its use should come as no real surprise. And it's not just anime. In fact, you find it in plenty of other interesting places too. For example, if you go back to watch the (live action) Return of the King, you can see Aramaic lettering on the One Ring as it's getting destroyed. |
| I dislike Shannon, but it's sad that she had to die that way. And poor George, never getting to marry his true love. >_> |

| Ugh. Seeing Shannon with the ring at the end was too heartbreaking. Poor dear. And I feel so bad for George. Why couldn't it have been Kanon? D: |
 |
| That ED is very Coheed & Cambria |
 |
| meh, it was okay. This show is overrated already O.o The characters seem so unnatural and one-dimensional; the only driving factor for this anime seems to be distorted faces and gore. Nothing intellectual here, so far. |
| This series is giving me the goosebumps xD great episode !! |
     |
Chronolizer said: meh, it was okay. This show is overrated already O.o Ditto. This anime feels just so bland in pretty much every aspect. |

| pretty messed up with what happened to them...though i guess that is what i was expecting going into this show anyways. |
| Excellent episode)) but to kill six people in a series ..... as unexpectedly) |
| Wow, 6 characters already died and only two thirds remain, too many deaths for one episode since I thought it was going to be more like one or two deaths at a time but meh. We got to know more about the "game" Beatrice is playing and the "rules", so it wasn't a bad episode but not great either. |
| I just... Can't love Maria. She's so Annoying, her voice makes me irritated =_=' Depite of that, Kanon is really something, I hope he can grow bigger inside the Plot. Battler-kun is just a pervert >3> And Shannon-chan was so cute >__< poor George... And... wow, 6 dead already ._.' |
