The last chapter of Umineko released 8 months after the ending of LOST. No one accused it of plagiarism back then?

I'm seriously considering exercise and meditation, if I can find the discipline to keep up a routine.

I just thought of something interesting. You know how most people interpret Higurashi to be a story inside of Umineko? But what if it's possible to invert the positions in the Venn Diagram and say that Umineko happens inside Higurashi?

The most common, orthodox interpretation goes like this: Umineko is the ''real world'', where literal magic does not exist and there are no parallel worlds (fragments). Higurashi is just a story made by some author, probably a book. But what if Higurashi is the one on a higher plane? That would mean parallel worlds and magic exist in the literal sense (sea of fragments, Hanyuu etc), and the world of Umineko is just one particular fragment in which magic does not exist (or isn't common). All of the tales in Umineko are fictional stories inside a single fragment of reality, but that doesn't mean there are no other fragments out there.

Agreed. Ryukishi is sadistic. That ending wasn't bittersweet at all, it was disturbingly cruel. After spending her whole life without her brother, as a last FUCK YOU to Ange, Ikuko calls her to meet Tohya.

>here is your brother that I kept all for myself all these years
>he feels nothing for you and he's not really your brother anymore
>I hope this makes you happy

Just kick her in the vag already, why don't you?

I bet R07 suggested that Satoko had a long history with Featherine in previous lives (or parallel worlds or whatever) only to never explain or even bring that up again. Fake lore only for the illusion of depth.
