I Am Not Making This Up: Why You Should Play/Watch Umineko

[web_of]

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but today is the only time I've been feeling productive enough. You see, it has come to my attention that a lot of people don't know what Umineko No Naku Koro Ni is. This could be due to several factors, either the anime's lack of popularity or sense-making, the relatively unknown status of the much-better

Umineko is seriously considered unknown? It seems like everyone and their mother is talking about it.

Really? Well, I guess what I mean is that not a lot of people have seen it, or played the games. At least as far as I know.

It could just be the crowd I hang out in or something...but there's a huge cast of it in Amat, and most of my flist is into it. In fact I've gotten to where I have total Hype Aversion to it.

Well, don't let the hype make you avoid it. I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but it really is a good series, lack of sense-making aside.

I might look into it eventually. I don't know if I can right now, though--I had a friend that wouldn't shut up about it, and then stopped speaking to me when I told her it was silly to complain about Hetalia fangirls not shutting up about their fandom. XD; So I kinda associate it with all sorts of annoying qualities right now.

It might be too horror based for me, too...I'm not sure.
