/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So any word on a new project yet?

Umineko seems amazing for me, but it's TL:DR material.
I've read the manga, watch the animu and read the first novel... but it's too damn long!

So, does anyone in /jp/ knows where I can read a short easy plot synopsis?

And avoid any "whocares-trice" theories right now. Thank you! :3

I just finished the first episode of the VN and i'm confused as hell.
What happened to the four of them? Did Beatrice really appear? Were they taken to the Golden Land? If the epilogue is to be believed, Maria died. But why? Wasn't she protected by the charm?

I also started reading the Tea Party and apparently i got the bad end because i didn't try solving the epitaph. What. I read through it over and over but i never was given a chance to decide anything throughout the story.

In any case, once i'm done with the Tea Party, i'll move on to episode 2, hopefully that will clear some things up.
