wow just wow. This episode just blew me away with how good it was and has easily become my favourite episode of the visual novel so far. The pacing felt very different then the previous 3 but it was welcome it was nice to follow a different character other than Battler for a while and to see how Rokkenjima mass murders had affect on those who were close to the Ushiromiya family and the medias reaction towards the incident. I also really enjoyed learning more about maria's (she is on of my favourite characters) relationship with Rosa. Hell Umineko is great at making me like a character to hating them the next episode and vice versa. I really hope it can keep up this quality in the last 4 Episodes. (I might change rating after I read the entire VN)
This review contains spoilers
Bro they need to buff the Japanese equivalent of child protective services cause Rosa performed Navy Seals level psychological warfare on Maria in front of an agent and like body slammed the agent several times after leaving a 9 year old alone for multiple days in a row, but just nothing happened lol.

While episode 3 may have had more climatic and grandiose moments, episode 4 is undoubtedly the peak of the question arcs, as well as, the series thus far - due to its immaculate and enthralling thematic execution, as well as, its bewitching and masterful character-writing, drama, and introspection. Unconventional but nuanced storytelling, plenty of thought-provoking ideas, enticing interactions, and cathartic dialogue. Even though this is a "Question Arc", multiple bombshells are dropped. Heartfelt answers are revealed that recontextualises moments from previous episodes. God.....and it still gets better from here on out?
