What a way to end the year, I was so excited when I got the notification! The last part made me tear up, incredibly powerful video. Also, the beginning is so atmospheric, I love it

The best Umineko analysis I've ever seen to this day. I'll write more on YouTube comment, but all the five women in Ushiromiya, they all just wanted to be accepted. As a wife, as a daughter, as a mother, as a love.... and as a human. I do have an idea for next Umineko video. How about an analysis for the witches (excluding Eva and Sayo)? Virgilia, Maria, Bernkastel, Lambda, and Featherine. Also early Happy New Years too!

Bess

The next video will be on Ange but also some of the themes her arc encapsulates so will definitely touch on how witches are used in the story, mainly Bernkastel and Featherine! Happy New Year to you too!

Hi Bess! First of all, happy new year to you and second of all, that was a fantastic retrospective video of the female When They Cry characters! ☺️So much in depth about Eva, Kyrie’s and Sayo’s characters beyond their scenes in the VN. This video has been shared on my When They Cry themed discord server, for UK Con Meetups. For WTC fans and cosplayers ! The group has many meets happening in London, Birmingham, Manchester, where-else in 2026 so I look forward to host them! I’ve had many fans find out about the group in the past year, and I can’t wait for what’s in line this year! Regardless great video that me and my community has enjoyed!☺️

Bess

Thank you for sharing the video, it's so nice to know there are WTC meetups happening even in 2026! Good luck with it and happy new year!
