@Hauarie Rich family meets yearly on an island, grandfather is very ill and will die soon, said grandfather summons and revives a witch who kills everyone, including the grandfather, in the cruelest ways possible.

Massively oversimplified plot synopsis, yet still very accurate.
Be sure to watch Higurashi no Naku Koro ni first, it's made by the same person as Umineko.
@shttykitty Yup, in fact Umineko is the same. You will have to wait till the release the ''Kai/Chiru'' version of Umineko to get the answer arcs. If you don't want to wait that long, you could get the Visual novels, they are worth playing.
@zfish9 Your missing out on a really good anime, try it out even with bad reviews just to see if it matches your taste
If you liked Higurashi no naku koro ni you'd like this, and sometimes you just have to get through the seven sisters and there little outfits to reach the good story line parts
Visual Novel's story line was much better but then everyones heard that phrase ("Book betters then the movie")
MANY people also very much praise this anime- so please give it a taste test!
@RikaHinamori I might get around to watching it, but I probably won't get a chance until summer vacation.
I'm trying not to get senioritis this year, and I get the feeling watching this will not help with that. that, and I'm also considering the Higurashi VNs from Mangagamer, and I want to learn all I can about Higurashi before I get mind screwed by the Fredrika/FurudeRika Bernkastel thing in Umineko.
I just completed the Higurashi series and the day before yesterday (or the night ;O ) I started to read Umineko and it's just as awesome as Higurashi .___.
@SilentsLuk Hmmm Well In my opinion both are awesome animes,but i think higurashi is better...I believe it's that higurashi has more cuter girls but I'm not yet sure :/
@lundypyara you know some people could get really offended by someone saying thats gay im gay ur doing the same thing white people did to black people in the 20th century welcome to the 21st century its ok to be gay get a life
why do people hate on this anime so much ive played the visual novels and watched the anime personally i think the visual novels were better but i stilll think this anime was outstanding i still think thy are gonna make a chiru AFTER the 8th game comes out this decemeber
It seems like there are small links, but no real relation. The biggest link I've seen thus far is Lady Bernkastel. She appeared at the end of Higurashi Kai and at some point in Umineko she says you're silly for thinking she and Rika are the same person.
The Italian chorus (I think it's Italian? xD) is the most amazing part of the song. <3 The way it blends so well, it's just great. :3 The song itself is great, too, but the chorus is just my favorite part. c:
it only recently came out so the description is very vague.
There are several people murdered on an island. Most think the murders are carried out by a witch, One person thinks that its all done by human hand. Its a murder mystery between the realms of reality and fantasy. Who really murdered the people? A person? Or was it a mystical being such as a witch?
Have you seen Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni? You may want to watch it beforehand, since Kai (The second season) intorduces the entire idea behind this plot. Basically for thos who have, Fredrika (Furuude Rika, Lolz) the witch pays a visit to Beatrice, who decides to amuse her by trying to convince Battler that Magic and witches do exist.
there is a full translation available for umineko no naku koro ni chapters 1-4, which is the whole of umineko, chapter 5 was released this summer in japan (at comiket I think) so its still pretty early for that but anyway its the first "answer" chapter of umineko, just like higurashi had "Kai", umineko has "Chiru"
@lupusgirl64 Omg man, i dont think ill ever read them, i want to but i honestly cant stand their faces DX, i guess its because i watched the anime first, i dont know
@lundpyara You could try just ignoring their faces and reading the text or something. In fact, maybe someone has put the text online somewhere so that you don't even have to see them. That could work. They're well worth reading because they have a lot of stuff that wasn't in the anime.
i like it great anime beats those stupid school life and perv craps
