What a way to kick off Umineko's second half.
Newcomers Erika and Dlanor both bring such life to the story, and brilliantly underpin the story's central theming. The increased focus on Bern and Lambda makes the story's world feel larger and more complete. Natsuhi returns in full force after her remarkable showing in the first episode. And many other returning cast members fill fitting and unique roles.
But, unsurprisingly, the real treat is none other than Battler himself. All his development culminates in an absolutely breathtaking climax that goes above and beyond my expectations for the first episode of Umineko's second half. I'm even more in love with the story prior than I was when I read it, and I am so looking forward to whatever comes next. I expect great things from Battler and Erika's rivalry.
