Umineko no naku koro ni is an anime about murder cases and magic. It's about a young man called Ushiromiya Battler who comes from the rich family Ushiromiya. One day when the family was going to have a reunion because the head of the family only had a short time left to live and they are going to decide how to spend the money persons start to die and everyone starts suspecting eachother. but the murders were almost impossible to cary out so the question is. whas it a one of the 18 people on the island who did it or is there a 19 person on the island? This anime also includes some really bloody scenes so you know! But i reccomend it to those who like a good thriller with mysterious murders and rituals. Also "Let my flip the chessboard over" is something Battler says when he wants to think about a case.
