| Some of the complaints I'm reading in this topic ARE answered. This is why you can't really judge a series like this until it's finished; plotholes end up being motives, fridge logic problems are explained in the next episode, etc. Problem with the anime though, is that some of the questions you have are answered relatively soon in the SN, while you have to wait weeks for them to be noticed in the anime. Of course, there are some other matters that don't have an answer in the SN yet, and that's more like years of waiting lol. I think it's possible DEEN will move EP3 ??? to what we would consider EP4 episodes, ending with the commercial cut. Dunno really... That scene seems kinda tacked on to EP3 in the novel to explain the readers something immediately so that they won't wait 6 months to learn it. |

MarthX said: The first twilight had letters and was a closed room. I think the normal culprit (the one involved in all the previous arcs) was killed and someone else took over. The new culprit is following the epitaph but isn't making the murders look like the work of a witch. Something I forgot to mention. I find it very suspicious that Ronove refuses to say in red that Hideyoshi, Rudolf and Kyrie died. The whole "It's not my place to say it" sounds like an excuse because he can't, because not all three of them are really dead. |

| That's what I always thought too but all of them do look like they are really dead. Especially Rudolf. But I guess Battler probably didn't get a very good look at Hideyoshi so it's still possible that he was alive |
| More witch slaps? Man, this is awesome...are there any more coming in the later episodes? Well, this episode is pretty badass to the bone. Rudolf and Kyrie duo ftw. They're pretty darn awesome. Though how they were killed was anticlimactic. I mean, what the hell? And the witch slap from Hideyoshi was great. Things are really getting much better. Post-witch slapped Beatrice is pretty cute in a way. Battler's hand must have some powerful magic. |
| lolz another slap >_< wonder wut will happen nows >_< |
| Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ I want to give Beatrice a big hug after the bad Battler shoved her away. |

| I'm glad that this ep seems to me the most faithful to the source. Kinda bummed that Rudolf's western duel with Belphegor was omitted (well, Silly Evatrice jumping in the middle of their duel). Scenes of Kyrie, Rudolf and Hideyoshi were pretty damn good. Hideyoshi/EVA noogie scene was cute ^^ Screenshot from another anime actually |

| ahahah nice^. I love how Beato is just taking shit from battler now...different personality and everything. It's so weird seeing her all quiet and looking sad..that flashback at the end brought back that classic Beato face. |
| Kyrie is so awesome. |
MRLX69 said: francismeunier said: My head hurts and I would really want someone to explain me something: what is the whole talking about the traveler/north wind/sun thing. My heads hurt thinking about it and can't understand it. I do understand Battler not believing that a cruel witch exists and challenge but the rest is a no to understanding. I'll explain as wikipedia doesn't really explain what it means. The Sun represents love and care, kindness, etc.. The North Wind is brutal and harsh. So the meaning is that forcing someone to admit or do something doesn't always work, whilst love and care does. I see now. It will be interesting to see how Beatrice uses the sun to hail the coming of spring. My mind is more clear now thanks to you. Virgilia was right that Beato made the mistake from the beginning but also Eva-Beatrice should lose her position if this whole thing is to be fixed. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| I wonder who is more cruel ... Eva or the previous Beatrice when killing ppl |

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? |
| Kyrie and Rudolf are pretty badass, but they're... kind of assholes a little bit. lol. And UGH, the new furniture girls or whatever that killed them had THE most annoying voices. Not really feeling this suddenly new Beatrice. It just seems so lame. But anything is better than Eva Beatrice. God how annoying. |
     |
| This makes me think. Basically, what they've done is give us bad characters, and then dick us down with even worse characters so that the bad ones seem good by comparison. Virgilia might be the only exception. |
| I must be a masochist to enjoy this anime I enjoy it for the same reason I enjoyed watching Apocalypse Zero |

| I like this whole witch thing, but the way everyone dies and such is getting kinda blah. What's the use in making it seem like the humans will survive when they never do? Boooring. |
MarthX said: Preview for 17 The most useless preview yet. Hahahahaahahahahah! Huge laugh! Beatrice completely changed her personality but the best will be when Eva-Beatrice called her something "Baba" Next one is going to be funny like I never had fun in this series. |

| my expectations for the duel were to high, sad to say i was disappointed... Still waiting for the end of Ep3, no matter what that's the one scene that cannot be done wrong! or heads will roll... |

Elika said: Screenshot from another anime actually LOL'D at that pic. Eva-Beatrice starting to get on my nerves somewhat now >_< |
| Eva-Beatrice and those two new characters were okay, but Beato is starting to be really annoying. |
Tosi ystävyys ei jäädy pakkasella! Thank you for your visit. Welcome again! |
| What Ronove said is actually they were killed by another person ( homicide, with no indication on singular or plural). I wouldnt start making words-play out of fansub. Whether or not Eva was really in her room when maria was killed, I think that is not what one should count on. And if anyone survived, I would think it was Kyrie. I think she was shot and stabbd in the belly, while the other 2 are stab in the heart and head. Dont remember if anyone actually suggested to split, but Eva definitive went back to her room right before that. |

| Rudolf's comments were so pimp: "you'd make a good wife. A husband would love to hear that when he comes home tired." I lol'd. |
| I believe it was Kyrie's idea to have Her, Rudolf and Hideyoshi go out to get food. |
 |
Elika said: Screenshot from another anime actually OMG. What anime is that from? xDD Lawlz. Man...Battler really effing hates Beatrice now. Serves her right really. I like how it's all going though. Even though psycho evil Beato is amazing, Beato coming to the realization about what she's done is very good as well. It shows how a complete monster (as Battler likes to put it) can change just from a single person. Eva-Beatrice needs to stfu and die already. She's sort of annoying. |

| The Siestas are cute :) is the visual novel version of the fight on youtube? I want to see it |

| Thanks :) |
| This arc (and especially this episode) has given the parents more screentime to develop and I've grown to really like them a lot, especially Battler's stepmom. |

jerometrix said: i can't help but think beatirce likes battler >.> Totally canon. I agree. By the end of this series, I'm gonna need some confirmed pairings so I can get rid of the once that Higurashi introduced but never followed up on. Okay, now that I realize that I've been faked out by 07th for like the fifth time, (it was the bunny girls that made me really go "....this isn't even a murder mystery anymore is it?") I appreciate what's been happening in the story. However I think this would be a very hard show to show casual anime fans because the "WTF-ness" of it all is very off the charts. Hideyoshi keeping his pimp hand (and noogie hand) strong I see. And, okay 410 and 45 just completely mindscrewed me (was that a Nico Nico reference?) |

garfield15 said: And, okay 410 and 45 just completely mindscrewed me (was that a Nico Nico reference?) I don't think it was a Nico Nico reference but it was probably a reference to something Also Kyrie and Asumu are named after acolyte/priest skills from Ragnarok Online. Kyrie = Kyrie Eleison (damage barrier) Asumu = Assumptio (1/2 damage reduction) Casting Kyrie Eleison on top of Assumptio will cancel Assumptio out, and vice-versa. |
| wow now the humans start to have a chance against the furniture? not bad at all. but beato really became a puppy. |
     |
| Dang, that Siesta arrow went bloody fast... I mean, I knew it would be fast, but that was FAST... Pretty well done, the pacing was well done, but, It will mean that the rest of the pacing will probably be rushed... Especially for Chapter 4... which I'm not looking forward to... Nevertheless, it was well done overall~ |

Kyrie and Rudolph and how most people aren't loving Eva Beatrice with her psychopathic massmurdering moments. :p Plus the 180 degree personality change of Beato ♥ |
| Well, I'll be darn. I never would have thought that during the course of this decade, there would be an anime even more objectively retarded than Elfen Lied. But, I digress, this pile of crap might just be the worst show of the decade. I mean, is the writer serious? He can't possibly think people will take this load of bullshit seriously, does he? |
| People take it very seriously. |
noteDhero said: People take it very seriously. Exactly, I love when people are over-analyzing the stuffs when not enough tangible clues are given to reach a conclusion, not to mention future clues that will completely make the current plausible conclusions bogus. I can't help to facepalm at some of the theories. People really "lack" imagination. |

| Some people find it fun. I don't really get it, but that's the way it is. It's kind of like trying to guess what crazy thing Britney Spears is going to do next. There is a history of erratic behavior, she's so coo coo, and her fans are so adamant that anything is possible. |
| LOL the two of you made this series looks like shit. If I were to take Umineko and Higurashi very seriously, they are nothing more than a horrible anime. I am trying to be quiet as much as possible about this series. Well, as you know, it was made to enjoy it that way. So there is nothing can be done but to go along with it. |
