Trying to sort out why Maria in Umineko is how she is has been confusing. One moment she's cute and adorable and giving out charms to protect Battler and Jessica from Beatrice's magic, the next she's completely apathetic to her family being murdered. But after these latest few episode I think I'm finally starting to understand her.
Her snapping after Sakutaro was destroyed by Rosa seems like the beginning of her craziness. (By the way, I think everything that happened there was probably undone by Beatrice after Maria was finished since Rosa is still alive later on.) But I think she still cares about her family, she just believes Beatrice's resurrection and the opening of the golden land will ultimately result in everyone being happy. She even still seems to care about Rosa since it's always the "bad witch" when Rosa smacks her around. I don't get the feeling that Maria is truly sadistic like Beatrice, she's just been driven to the edge of sanity by neglect and abuse and is looking for any possible way out.
And yeah, some of the latest murders have been particularly graphic. Even with the censoring on some, they grossed me out a bit.
Apparently I like Sloth a lot more than you do. Sure, there ain't much to him, but you have to admit it takes style to find literally everything a pain in the ass, and only bother to continue living because dying would be an even bigger pain in the ass.
I dunno if the universe can handle someone more pimp than Greed 1.0, even if it is Kimblee. That could end up becoming dangerously awesome.
And, of course, Miles's badass ponytail would impale John Wilkes Booth on instinct as soon as he walked in the theater. And the Icicle Sideburns O' Doom would be able to kill you by stabbing your photograph.
