This series means a lot to me after reading it, I may only have been a fan for a short while now but I can firmly say Umineko is my favorite story in all of media. A perfect tale about love, death, trauma and acceptance. A story that tries to show not only it's characters, but you the reader, that magic does exist. Magic to bring yourself happiness exists within you, the truth is more than just one slab of stone halting you, it's a statue to behold with so much to interpret from. There's so much more to mysteries, to life, to yourself as a person than just what reality shows. Accepting the truth, and finding your own happiest path, your own world to live how you like, those are the themes of Umineko. What compliments these themes are some of the most interesting and devious mysteries and logic puzzle's I've ever seen. I genuinely love everything about Umineko and I hazard to find a single flaw in this entire masterwork of writing, reasoning, and emotion. Actual peak. - 2023
