There's no swaying this guy, to be honest. He assumes everything can and will be figured out by human reasoning and logic, and seems to have been stuck in a never-ending battle with the Golden Witch, Beatrice. Ziltch, nada, zero, the goose egg – he doesn't believe in magic 0%. With Battler, there is no such thing as magic. Get use to him flipping out over everything that's not real and ripping off Phoenix Wright's "OBJECTION!" pose, because he'll do that. Battler Ushiromiya, as the protagonist, is a red-haired young man with spectacular blue eyes.
Phoenix Wright wants his Objection pose back. She just wanted her brother back, after all. With an attitude and magic to back it up, Ange Ushiromiya packed a powerful punch and is willing to fight everything for her 'other' self's sake.

Well, beside the fact that the grandfather/head of the household who is hell-bent on bringing his lover back to life. They're like your everyday typical aristocratic family. So let's jump right into the review with a bang and some Umineko music to help us go insane~! įor characters, they aren't all bad. This guy is supposed to be our hero? Good lord, are we in trouble… Don't mention it around him unless you want to be shoved into a locker or a fist in your eye. I won't bore you with the details that are as fine as sandpaper, but apparently Battler has a thing for incest…? I mean, he jumps on his cousin Jessica and mentions how big her… um, cleavage is. The only reason why they're even going to Rokkenjima is because apparently there's this huge family conference that will determine the pecking order, I mean, the next successor of the Ushiromiya family. Oh, and get used to him kids, he shows up a lot. Well, the first episode is kind of dull, where you are met with Battler Ushiromiya, who is jumping up and down on a boat. Umineko is categorized by the anime community as a Contemporary Fantasy, Detective, Horror, Seinen, Thriller, and Violence. Soon after, a violent typhoon traps the family on the island and a string of mysterious murders commence, forcing the eighteen people on the island to fight for their lives in a deadly struggle between fantasy and reality."

WHY THE UMINEKO ANIME IS BAD SERIES
"Considered as the third installment in the highly popular "When They Cry" series by 07th Expansion, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni takes place on the island of Rokkenjima (六軒島), owned by the immensely wealthy Ushiromiya family. Of course, being the inquisitive little bugger I am, and highly curious due to the immense popularity of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, or When the Cicadas Cry, as to what the series was about. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, or better yet, When the Seagulls Cry
So, here I am, watching anime when I notice a title on the screen: Symbol of the Ushiromiya family, the one winged eagle.
