And so we come to the 5th episode as well as the second highest rated on on MAL .The End Of The Golden Witch is truly an excellent part of the Umineko series ... Story - 9 In complete ,utter and absolute subjectivity I'll like to declare that this episode is one of the most outstanding examples of plot progression in this series . Well ,I say subjectivity but I like to think that most people who read this agree .The MAL score is the second highest in the series after all. In 28 chapters I was exposed to a combination of epic moments ,insane plot twists ,exposition onthe true nature of the mystery and power-ups that leave other shounen bowing their heads in shame .

Oh my goodness .That was pretty damn amazing .

Problems ?Sorry there aren't any of those here .Look somewhere else .

Art - 7

Not a 9 this time around sadly .Much of the drawing was scratchy and not as neat as in the other episodes .It did however ,have its moments of glory .I suppose with the most brilliant troll gone there wasn't much motivation for Suzuki Jirou to draw excellently .

Characters - 9

Battler was especially excellent in this epsiode .Well he's always excellent but this time he really out did himself .Natsuhi was very nice to read about as well and in this game people truly tasted the terror known as Troll-kanstel .

Everyone was full of life in this episode .

Well ,writing an ode all over again for the characters when they're pretty much the same as in the other games (apart from a few more minor additions which weren't really noteworthy) is unnecessary so I'll skip it for this review .

Overall - 9
Excellent .Superb .What a wonderful episode .
