I have started Umineko When They Cry

As of now just finished episode 5.

And the reason I’m talking about it here is because (at least it’s initial set up) is very indebted to literally traditions started by Gatson Leroux and Ponson Du Terril. It also reminds me of themes Brian Stableford talked about discussing certain Paul Feval novels,

I can certainly now add this to the discussion of Witch Anime I’d started in response to In Praise of Shadows.

However the show also exists in the same Universe as Higurashi, and the traits it has that are innate to the Visual Novel tradition will become apparent over time.

It also reminds me of the last episode of the Inma Youjo OVA series from the 90s. But that could easily be a coincidence.

The show is good so far, I recommend it.
