So I finally cracked and looked up spoilers for EP8 of Umineko, because I could not stand not knowing anymore.
And. Well.
I do believe these two macros best sum up my feelings:
With just a dash of
It is a very strange feeling, being depressed and angry at the same time. Though I suspect once the Witch Hunter translation of EP8 goes up and I have these spoilers in actual context, the anger will subside somewhat, but what the shit, Ryukishi, it was bad enough when Chris Nolan pulled that "Or maybe it was all a dream!" business, don't you fucking start. Yes I know it makes sense within the heavily metafictive story that all of the difficult-to-explain magic elements have been just one big heavily metaphorical story all along, but...just...it's like that damn spinning top ALL OVER AGAIN.
...shouting is the only way I can keep from crying, okay. :(
I need AU fic. A lot. And to stop listening to the ending music because it's making me cry harder.

But then, this is Umineko. If something's unsatisfying we can just pretend it was Bern trolling the audience and move on.

I'm hoping that the Witch Hunter translation will find a way to satisfy somehow. I mean, I though EP7 sounded terrible when I read the spoilers and then I really enjoyed playing through it. So. Um. Yeah.

I just want the translation to be out right now so I can read it and stop not knowing, it's driving me crazy!

Would you *like* to know what Umineko is?
Also hey you should watch/play Umineko! I don't know how you feel about anime and Visual Novels, but it's a really intriguing story. The easiest way to describe it is a metafictive magical-realist murder mystery/love story, and it's got some of the most gorgeous music.
