>>15288777
Eva or Natsuhi. Kyrie and Rosa are shit.

>>15287840
When will Bernkastel rise up against Featherine and write her out of the story?

beato

>>15288826
>>15289080
All right then. Now, who is best uncle?

>>15289653
>404 Dad not found

Too close to home. ;_;

>>15289653

Indisputably Rudolf. Literally the definition of "The cool uncle."

>>15289655
I honestly think Rosa could have been a good mother if she just had a spouse to help lessen her burdens.

Rosa is a fucking jerk.

>>15289663

Same, but at the same time, it just calls her judgement of character into question and makes her look a fool at best and a slut at worst.

Still though,
>Like Rosa
>Hate single mothers

A feeling so complicated.

>>15289683
>Hating single mothers because their shitty husbands decided to abandon everything for dat pussy.

My mom's name is Rosa!

Please give Rosa lots of love! I love you mom!

>>15289653
HUSBANDO > hideyoshi > krauss > hokkaido

>>15291149
Well if you insist...

>>15291670
Natsuhi: Dumb, prideful, but a sweet and loyal wife. Would not kill for gold, regardless of her dislike for her rude family.

Rosa: Wrathful but just wants to live her youthful life - hates her siblings and would kill everyone, probably including the cousins, for gold. Still loves Maria because she's her daughter. Would probably be a loving wife.

Eva: Justifiably bitter and hates her siblings and father. Prideful and arrogant, but genuinely loves her husband, son, nieces, and nephews. Would only be able to kill her siblings and their partners. Would be a loving and faithful wife.

Kyrie: Psychopath. Cold and calculating. Intelligent, cool, and faithful, but you can never tell her true feelings or intentions - would kill everyone for gold, including the cousins and her own children.

Kyrie did nothing wrong.

>>15291763
>Would only be able to kill her siblings and their partners.
Doesn't Eva shoot Battler at the end of Episode 3?

>>15291781
If under the impression the cousins had a part in killing her husband or son, she'd shoot, but in order to cover shit up for gold, I can't see her doing anything.

>>15291792
But she wasn't under that impression, she was one of the accomplices in Episode 3

>>15291819
I'm drawing blanks on EP3. Did the manga explain the whole deal there? I was under the impression it was largely Kyrie and Rudolf there, with Eva only killing Rosa and then Battler at the end, but that latter kill not having motivations laid out.

>>15291833
>Did the manga explain the whole deal there?
Yes

>>15291708
Hnnng

>>15291833
Even if the manga didn't explain it, Eva would still have to be an accomplice, since the Van Dine rules don't allow multiple culprits. There can be multiple accomplices, but only one culprit

>>15291833
Kyrie and Rudolf didn't do shit in EP3, but Kyrie started suspecting Eva resulting in the shoot-out in the mansion. Then either Rudolf or Kyrie killed hideyoshi before they died.

>>15292001
Oh yeah, remembering more details like the cigarette butt now.

>>15291947
>>15291708

Rosa doujins FUCKING WHERE

>>15292028
Never

We need writefags too

>>15291883

>ASIDE FROM BATTLER, EVERYONE WAS BRIBED

It was better in the VN with only Will's vague summations.

>>15291961
Does Umineko really follow the Van Dine rules though? It seems that way, since Will uses them like that, but one of the rules forbids a love intrest, and another forbids the crime to be a suicide, which happens at least once.

>>15291771
>killed nearly her entire family just for gold
n o t h i n g w r o n g

>>15291763
Wasn't Eva a big accomplice in ep 3? Those murders were more than just the siblings and partners.

>>15292399
lol no
#2, #4, #6, #7, #8, #9, #11, #12, #16, #18, #19, and #20.

>>15292640
Some of those are stated in red though

>>15292640
>>15292667
I checked, and these are the rules stated in red, unless I missed some:

>Van Dine 1: It is forbidden to have a crime without all clues presented.
>Van Dine 7: It is forbidden to have a crime without a corpse.
>Van Dine 11: It is forbidden for a servant to be the culprit.
>Van Dine 12: It is forbidden for there to be more than one true culprit.
>Van Dine 16: There is no need to include depictions that exceed the necessary in a story.

>>15292714
1 is alright. There are enough clues spread around.
7 is violated in the first episode--at least, this is the first I thought of. Shannon's corpse wasn't there, for obvious reasons. Oh, and Kanon's death later in episode 1.
11 is obviously violated.
12, I guess I can let this one go. The source I was using ( http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/vandine.htm ) stated that there must only be one culprit for all the murders, outside of a minor helper that did not actually commit murder.
16 is stated otherwise in my source. This is alright.

>>15292714
As a side note, 12 and 16 are only stated in the manga as far as I can tell. 1, 7 and 11 are stated in both the manga and the VN

>>15292754
>11 is obviously violated.
Yasu isn't a servant, she's the Head of the family pretending to be a servant. At least that's what I assumed

>>15292783
Yasu was a servant prior to learning about Lion. This is shown during episode 7 (pic related), and elaborated upon in Confession.
After that, probably. But Genji and Kinzo confessing Yasu's true identity happened way later in her years, so she couldn't pretend to be one when she didn't even know she was the Head.

>>15292809
Voiced scream for that scene was painful to hear from Beatrice's voice actress

>>15292809
Of course, Yasu was a servant until Kinzo died, but after that she became the Head and might not count as a servant anymore. I'm not too sure about that though, but that's the only explanation I can think of for Rule 11 being stated in red

>>15292714
Rule 7 could be alright depending on how you look at it. "A crime" could refer to the whole incident, and not each individual murder. In that case, it would be fine as long as at least one corpse was real

Is there a download of the new live-action Higurashi TV series somewhere?

>>15293444
n/m, stupid question, it's on Tokyotosho!

Is this actually filmed in Shirakawa? It looks pretty similar at least

>>15293475
Speaking of which, can anyone help me out by seeding it?

>>15294815
I'm seeding this thing, though I'm not sure if it's the right one.
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=813419

>>15295004
I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Time to see how cringe worth this is

>>15295137
It's pretty good for a live action. I give it a solid 3 out of 10

>>15289660
this

>>15293683
Curious about this as well.

I don't believe they can properly do the live action, maybe umineko was easier.

>>15289603
I want to help her be free from Featherine, I don't dislike her but I want Bern to be free.
I want to help Bern get rid of her immaturities and dumb desires.
I want Bern to learn the full extent of her powers.
I want Bern to be at the same level or even higher then Featherine.

>>15293683
Just watched it. Tomitake was pretty swole, especially his traps. Oishii's voice was pretty spot on, but the rest of it was pretty cringeworthy as expected.

>>15292832

I'm always tempted to use the PS3 patch for the voices but the backgrounds and atmosphere go to total shit, and that's the whole point of the game.

>>15296721
You can use the voices with the original sprites and backgrounds

>>15296746

But then don't you still have voices wrecking the BGM by talking over it?

>>15296801
Yeah, I really dislike having voices
it messes up a bunch of music cues, and some of the scenes with super-fast text

>>15296801
Oh, you meant the music? Well yeah, the voices obviously talk over it

Uuu!~

>>15296840

I'm about to start the game /jp/, should I play it with original sprites or ps3 sprites?

>>15297818
I like the originals better, I think they have more emotion. But you'll enjoy it either way. The story has a slow build, but stick with it. It's fantastic.

>>15297818
I'll cast my vote for original.

I'd post the best face, but don't want to spoil it for you.

>>15297850
>>15297839
Are the ps3 voices worth it at least?

>>15297900
They're good, but if you want to read at your own pace, it might slow you down. And since it's your first time reading, it might get in the way of the music. Entirely up to you.

>>15297900
IMHO, no.

And I don't like Erika or Dlanor's voice.

>Onikakushi: 60,612 ± 6,156 owners on Steam
>Watanagashi: 11,795 ± 2,716 owners on Steam
I wonder if that huge drop has anything to do with MangaGamer taking so long between each release

And I also wonder how Umineko is going to do. How popular is Umineko in the west anyway?

>>15297910
I like Dlanor's

>>15297910
>>15297906
Thanks. Will go with the original then, i've watched the anime years ago and never found the time to read the VN.

>>15297934
It's pretty obscure over here.

>>15298281
But quite possibly more popular than in Japan.

>>15297934
my guess is that after MG releases chapter 3 of higu, they'll quickly shit out a new TL for chapter 4 since it's the shortest one, then just re-use their old translation for the answer arcs and release them all at once instead of grind them out over the next 3 years. with some good luck boys we might have the newly translated higurashi chapters out before 2018.

>>15298365
I don't think Umineko is that obscure in Japan. It's very hard to find sales for the VN, but I did manage to find some for the manga

From what I could find in the Oricon rankings, it seems each volume of Episode 1 sold about 80-100 000 units, Episode 2 sold 35-70 000, and 3 and 4 sold around 20-40 000

Aside from those, I only managed a few volumes from Chiru, which sold about 20-25 000 each, so I guess the popularity was reduced with time

And I also found the American sales for the second volume of Episode 1, which sold an astonishing 409 units. Pretty amazing

>>15298409
>then just re-use their old translation for the answer arcs
I doubt they'll do that. They even fixed Umineko's translation for the new release, which wasn't nearly as bad as Higurashi's

>>15298650
>409 units

Is that less than what the anime sold in Japan?

>>15298650
>And I also found the American sales for the second volume of Episode 1

What format are you talking about...VN/Anime/manga?

>>15299260
Yes, the anime's total sales were 13 208, which sounds pretty decent, but keep in mind that Umineko had 26 episodes and 13 volumes, which brings the average per volume to about 1016, which is really pathetic. No wonder they never adapted Chiru

>>15299366
Manga. The English VN isn't out yet, and I can't find anything about the sales of the American Blu-Ray, but I assume it probably didn't sell very much either

>Miyo fucking a recorder
What did DEEN mean by this?

>>15298701
I didn't think Umineko was re-translated for the steam release, given how fast it was put up compared to Higurashi. Maybe it was touched up a bit though. Also the answer arcs of Higu had a somewhat better translation quality than the question arcs did, so they might re-use them if they think it won't be economical to re-translate.

>>15297818
Look at both and use what you prefer, simple as that.

But whatever you choose, use the voices.

>>15298650
>409 units
Source.

>>15299737
She's Lambda's self insert

>>15299786
I think the words they used were "updated translation" or something like that, so I assume they just fixed some of it, like "Siesta Sisters" and such

>>15299881
Looking at it again, it seems 409 was just an estimate, so it might not have been accurate. I found some actual sales for it though

It's listed here with 2762 total sales in 2013. It doesn't say which volume it is for some reason, but based on the publication date, it should be volume 1 of Episode 1

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZRSRznAA_dXrsOoI4c3T0caI81oru9nvWOPtJjtph4o/edit#gid=0

>>15299995
Being 2013 and taking into acount that Yen Press releases 1 book per 4 months, it could be either Episode 2 Volume 2, or either of the two Episode 3 volumes.

I guess that's just american sales? European people buy the english version too, which is imported.

>>15300028
It says the publication date is 1211, which I assume means November 2012, the same month volume 1 was released

And yeah, I think that's just the American sales

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=815397

>>15302191
Did they seriously spend only 2 episodes on Onikakushi?

>>15302248
It's only going to have 8 episodes, so that isn't too surprising.

But it isn't actually that bad if you think about it. The anime adapted Onikakushi in 4 episodes, which is around 80 minutes. Each live action episode is an hour long, meaning they spent around 120 minutes on it. It may be rushed, but at least it isn't as rushed as the anime

Riddle soon fellow seacats.

>>15299737

Has anyone uploaded the apk for higuumi?

Why doesn't anyone discuss rose gun days? I just finished reading it and I found it to be pretty good.

Some kind Anon in an /a/ thread a couple of days ago posted old EP7 spoiler threads he'd saved.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/r7oofi7l93oxq/Umineko_EP7_jp

Does anyone have EP6 ones? The archives are tough to navigate through because at the time nobody was linking the previous threads in the OPs, so I've only come across the first two in sequential order.

Is Miotsukushi-hen canon?

>>15306115
Pfffhehehe. Nope~

>>15306129
>Miotsukushi-hen
can't be any worse than matsuribayashi

>>15306115
To be honest with you, it wasn't written by Ryukishi so i wouldn't ever consider it "canon" in any way. He did approve it though, but still. It just my opinion.

I'm so goddamn sick of higurashi, why do they keep making a 1000 higurashi things

>>15306389
Money moves the world, anon.

>>15305610
I like to imagine the fact you can't easily get it legally right now hampers discussion.

Probably not, though.

>>15306389
Loli characters which are more popular with otaku, basically. Much higher percentage of cute young girls in the cast then any other 07th Expansion work (OK, maybe except for Higanbana, but that doesn't have the same mass appeal).

>>15306129
What happened?

>>15306896
Attention whore came back again. Nothing important.

Can anyone translate the text, though?

>>15306311
I haven't read it, obviously, but judging by the plot summary it sounds like it could be better

>After finding out who the real murderer is, Furude Rika and Maebara Keiichi decide to put an end to the whole mystery, but they are in a different situation than Matsuribayashi-hen. Before they can do anything, they have to solve other people's problems. The issues of Watanagashi-hen, Meakashi-hen, Tatarigoroshi-hen, and Tsumihoroboshi-hen are met here, and all of them must be solved. This arc solves all the mysteries of the series, adds a few new ones, and gives the origins of both Hanyū and the Hinamizawa Syndrome. While the ending is sad, ending with everyone except Hanyū surviving, it is seen by some as a more meaningful end to the series.

>>15307331
I'm in the process of doing so, not very good at Japanese though, so expect it will take a few hours.

>>15307385
>and gives the origins of both Hanyū and the Hinamizawa Syndrome.
I've been confused about this part for a while now. I've seen some people claim that it confirms Hanyuu is an alien, and that Hinamizawa Syndrome came from her spaceship or something like that, but as far as I can tell, the part with her backstory is just a short excerpt from Kotohogushi-hen, which has nothing to do with aliens at all.

Has anyone here actually read Miotsukushi, and could shed some light on all this?

Just got the first volume of Dawn's official release. Posting a few noteworthy images.

>>15307450
Take your time, charitable anon

>>15310050
It's pretty good. My main complaint with the official release is the lack of colored text, but you get used to it eventually.

>>15310067

>>15310067
Does the digital version have colored text though? The Japanese digital volumes have color, even though the print version doesn't, because it doesn't cost anthing

>>15310170
No, it doesn't. I guess Yen Press didn't bother editing all the text just for the digital release.

>>15310170
All I know is that the official English release definitely doesn't have it Red text is bold and blue text is block letters.

>>15310080

>>15310211

>>15310403

>>15310205
It's a bit strange that they didn't color the text, but still kept the color pages. Unless these were colored in the print version as well(?)

>>15310437
>>15310426
They didn't. those pages are black and white in the official release.

All this talk about digital editions reminded me that the first chapter of Hotarubi is available digitally for free, if anyone didn't know already. Still no translation though

>With the manga version of Umineko, however, we considered the work to be a “period” to the “sentence” that is the world of Umineko.

>Because of this, when I met with Natsumi-sensei [Kei Natsumi, the artist of the manga adaptation of Umineko’s eighth episode], I asked her to show all the secrets in a way that can easily be understood by anyone.

Taking this into consideration, does that mean Kinzo really did kill the soldiers? It's one of the few parts I'm still unsure about

>>15310326
I would stick with paper, but I'm poor and am running out of bookshelf space.

>>15311029

I think they were in the originals, but were skipped over.

>>15313814
They're just some fun extra pages at the end of each volume. They were probably left out of the scanlation because they're volume exclusive, and not really important.

There are also recaps of each chapter, which I don't think are in the scanlation either

>>15313949

So I bought the official English manga and
>Warlock

I guess it's technically right, but it just sounds so wrong

>>15322571
Translation-wise, I would argue it is slightly more accurate than Lord, in that context. But overall, it's an equivalent.

But yeah, just like you said, Lord sounds just so more fitting...

I remember screaming "BADASS!!" the first time they announced his title in the VN.

>>15317819
How do I get this game?

>>15322622
They still call him Lord. I was referring to them using Warlock instead of Sorcerer

>>15322684
Hm, that's actually even more fitting in this case (as an alternative to Sorcerer, since it is the oldest male equivalent to Witch, iirc).

Nevermind the context in this case.

>>15322732
(I should have organized my phrase a little better, now my OCD is beeping for repeating the same words to end them consecutively).

>>15322639
Just search with Qoo App "ひぐらし".
The only app available in there with that name.

>>15322757
thanks pal!

>>15322732
Yeah, Warlock is more accurate. It just sounds a bit weird since I'm so used to seeing him called The Endless Sorcerer

I think the most accurate translation would be Magician though, since the Japanese word used is 魔術師

>>15322846
That would be the most correct translation indeed.
Quoting good old wikipedia:

"日本語の「魔法使い」という語は、英語でいうところのMagic User、Wizard、Witch、Sorcerer、Warlockなど様々な意味を含んでおり、厳密に定義することは難しい。一般的な訳語としては、Wizard＝魔術師、Witch＝魔女（しばしば女性に使われるものの、元来は性別を分けない。例：witchcraft＝（一般に）魔術、Witch-king of Angmar＝アングマールの魔王。ファンタジー小説の登場人物で男性）、Sorcerer（フランス語『魔女の鉄槌』では妖術師の意味sorcierが起源。この女性形Sorcièreは後に魔女を意味することになった。男性の魔女、魔法使い・魔術師はSorcier）＝文化人類学でいう妖術師、Warlock＝（男性）魔術師をあてるが、英語の意味するニュアンスと日本語の訳語の意味するニュアンスには、かなりのずれがある。
魔法使いのうちでも、とくに賢明で思慮深く、魔法を正義及び善なる事のために使う者を「魔術師」（ウィザード）といい、「賢者」（ワイズマン）と同義であるとする作品もある。また日本語に翻訳した作品によっては訳者独自の訳語をたて、独立して自らの意思で魔法を使う者や導師的立場の者を「魔導師」、王侯などの命令で魔法を使う者や修行中の者を「魔導士」「魔道士」（団精二の訳語）というように表記を使い分けているものもある。"

Do we know if mangagamer is also going to release Umineko Tsubasa and Hane?
Apparently they are going to release every higurashi arc that's on Higurashi Hou (so everything outside of the console-exclusive ones), but they never specified anything about umineko

>>15323180
They didn't announced anything just yet.

>>15323180
I don't think they've said anything about it. They only said that they might release Ougon Musou Kyoku if Umineko sells well.

Come to think of it, there isn't any Pachinko art for B Battler, but they could probably get that made for Hane if they release it at some point

>>15323203
>>15323242
thanks

>>15323242
Pachinko Battler pretty much already has B.Battler's face and hair, so it's not like it'd be hard to make him.

It's like a minute in Photoshop.

>>15317556
He took a leap of faith and teleologically suspended the ethical.

Does anyone have an alternate download link for the Hane ps3 sprite patch?

>>15324065
No. Read it with the original sprites, you filthy savage.

>>15324880
Source on that artist? Not getting anything with image search.

Does someone knows how much did Rewrite sold in Japan?

>>15327735
no, sorry for not knowing

>>15327735
Can't find any specific numbers, but probably a lot

>In 2011, Rewrite ranked five times in the top ten in national PC game pre-orders in Japan. The rankings were at No. 9 in January, No. 4 in February, No. 3 in March, and twice at No. 1 in April and May.[112][113] Rewrite ranked first in terms of national sales of PC games in Japan in June 2011.[114] Rewrite would rank twice more in the top 50 highest selling PC games in Japan, at No. 14 in July and at No. 29 in August 2011.[115] According to public sales information published at Gamasutra, taken from the Japanese Amazon website, Rewrite was the number one top seller of PC games in Japan the day of its release.[116] Rewrite premiered as the No. 1 game sold on Getchu.com, a major redistributor of visual novel and domestic anime products, during the month of its release,[117] and at No. 30 in July.[118] The game would go on to be the No. 8 game sold for the first half of 2011,[119] and at No. 11 for the whole year.[120] In 2012, Rewrite Harvest festa! ranked three times in the top ten in national PC game pre-orders in Japan. The rankings were at No. 6 in April, No. 3 in May, and No. 1 in June.[121][122] Harvest festa! ranked first in terms of national sales of PC games in Japan in July 2012.[123]

Talking about numbers, some anon from last thread got the numbers of the manga adaptations of Umineko (20k-30k).

I wonder how much much do the Kodansha Box books sold (never saw any of those in the charts).

>>15324065
check nyaa

>>15328193
I can't find anything about their sales at all

Higurashi's novels, however, sold about 800 000 units total according to Japanese Wikipedia. There were 17 novels though, so I'm not sure if that's a high total or not

>>15328778
Thank you for providing these numbers, this is nice to hear.

Does Yasu have blonde or brown hair? Why does the manga show him differently?

>>15328998
>Why does the manga show him differently?
What do you mean? It's still brown in the manga

>>15329024
It's brown with a wig in the manga from what I have seen, but of course Lion in the VN has blonde hair. In the kakera where he is accepted, why would his hair be different? At the same time, Beatrice of course talks about how she would become Battler's ideal, blonde and bouncy implying she did not have blonde hair.

>>15329042
Yasu's hair was always brown for sure. I'm not too sure about Lion.

I've seen some people suggest that the way Lion looks in the VN isn't his real apperance, but just an alternate apperance Bern made for the game board, so it wouldn't be too obvious who the culprit was. That's just speculation though

>>15329086
Yasu is so cute, I want to commit a crime.
But then I remember that it might not be physically possible to do so.

>>15329107
Anal is the purest form of crime.

>>15324944
kuropin.tumblr.com

Thank you

>>15329086
Lion is pretty much from an impossible Kakera.
Even their gender could be different, in my opinion.

>>15329507
for their gender to be different, bern would have to move to an even bigger catbox, that is closed off from whenever lion was conceived instead

>>15329107

You'd be sticking it up his pooper whether he had been maimed or not.

>>15329736
wasn't that caatbox from EP7 ridiculously big though? like, the one kakera mounted with the element of One In Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand-Something kakera?

>>15329470
hnnng

>>15329770
That wasn't the size, it was the chance of Natsuhi not throwing him off the cliff, 1/2,578,917

>>15329821
She REALLY wanted to kill that baby

>>15329833
The whole family is pretty hopeless aside from Battler and Jessica

>>15329821
I see, though I still don't understand what did you mean by size, exactly o.O

>>15329862

>Jessica is the only normal person
>suffers the worst death

why

>>15329821
But what if the reason for not throwing Yasu off a cliff in that case was because Yasu happened to be a cute girl?

>>15329880
What he means is the scope of the catbox, or the scope of the events that take place. So Bern is ripping out the kakera that encompass Yasu's life after birth and the circumstances that would lead to the Rokkenjima Massacre. As an example of how doomed the family is, Bern demonstrates that even if Natsuhi accepted him, the adults would still kill over gold. Imagine the timeline of events inside of a square. Outside of the square would be Kinzo and Beatrice meeting, her dying, Beatrice II's birth, Yasu's conception, etc.. Inside would be infant Yasu's life after Beatrice II gives birth to him.

>>15329754
But there would be even more fun things to do if his dick had remained intact

>>15329909
Got it, that makes a lot of sense

>>15329887
Is there anything abnormal about battler if you don't factor in his meta world self, his real world interactions seemed pretty normal if not a little too romantic.

>>15330098
>Is there anything abnormal about battler if you don't factor in his meta world self

He's a suicidal, incestuous rapist and a murderer.

>>15330098
He molests his cousins

>>15330166
You can't hold that against him. Even I would do that to Jessica and I don't even like boobs.

>>15330124
Those sounds pretty normal to me. But is it even out right stated he's any of these things or do people just assume it because it's impplied

>>15330229
That was me just kidding around and saying Battler is exactly like Black Battler.

Battler himself is only suicidal as Tohya and just a little incestuous with Jessica, he's a cool dude otherwise.

So what exactly was the deal with Battler during the ending. In the real world did he realize who Beatrice was and fall in love with her again and stay with her, allowing him to escape the accident that killed everybody else? As the ending is the cause of his memory loss I assumed it takes place in the real world but I'm kind of confused at the whole ordeal and would like to understand it better.

>>15330581

He and Yasu escape on the boat, Yasu jumps off to kill himself, Battler tries saving him but passes out and almost drowns instead and washes up where he gets found with amnesia. His memories become disconnected from himself so he basically becomes a different person, and the very end gives whatever's left of his Battler personality closure so it can disappear and stop bothering him.

Or at least that's my understanding.

>>15330606
I was more confused as to why Battler was on the boat with Yasu in the first place, if the entire point of the first four episode's is that Battler doesn't remember the promise he made with her then it doesn't make much sense that he does in the real world, unless Yasu wrote the stories in a bottle before the family meet up as "what if" scenarios and in the real world he actually did remember her. Honestly the saddest thing for me is we didn't get more lovey dovey moments between Battler and Beatrice like we did in his game for Ange in episode 8.

>>15330639
The ending takes place after Episode 7's Tea Party. Yasu finds Battler after everyone else are dead, and then he notices that she has the same voice as Shannon. Then they escape and all that

>>15330639

Battler escaping to the boat with Yasu is just an extension of the Ep 7 tea party, aka what actually happened. I don't think Battler actually remembered his promise with Yasu until much later, they were just escaping together because the island was going to blow up. You have to remember that what happens in the episodes has nothing to do with the real world and what actually happened.

>>15330651
>>15330655
I haven't read the manga yet, should I go give episode 7 a read to clarify it some more? Or better yet just read the entire manga now.

>>15330662

The manga is only good for exposition, the VN does everything else better.

>>15330662
The page I posted is from Episode 8, which shows everything that happened. Episode 7 is the same as the VN, except for Will explaining how all the murders were done, instead of the cryptic "Illusions to illusions" stuff

>>15330655
He either remembered, or she told him about it, since he says
>If you have sinned then I have done so too for leading you there

>>15330700

God the character designs are horrible in the manga. What the fuck is up with Battler's nose?

But I do admit sometimes the design get a bit wonky.

>>15330670

Exposition-wise, manga for a good reason performs better.

Overall with the themes of the story, the VN is more faithful to its elements.

Country Girl is pretty interesting.

Alright you lot. Riddle time. I've made it extra difficult this time. Don't cry to me if you don't solve it. The answer will be obvious once you reach it.

With the key that I've given next up comes the lock.

Inspect me with absolute objectivity. It will have to be carefully. With these words you will split the truth apart. Truth only appears when sacrifices appear.

One is a road to lies and the other is a road to salvation.

Now that you have chosen a side all that's left is to follow the road you've chosen.

Quick! Everyone post your favorite fake umineko screenshot (or make a new one)!

Higurashi question;
Why didn't rika send hanyuu to watch over takano and tomitake in the night of watanagashi.
I mean okay you trusted her completely, but you assumed that the one who kills them is related to your murder aswell, so why not figure out who kills them?
I mean it's so obvious, what's the issue though?

>>15335513
>Taiwan
It doesn't require Taiwanese geography.
all of it is logical.

>>15335769
I'm pretty sure it was just a joke about the Epitaph in Umineko (which can almost exclusively only be solved by Japanese people due to cultural and historical matters regarding the country and its vicinities).

>>15335726
Knox's 2nd: It is forbidden for supernatural agencies to be employed as a detective technique.

>>15335726
I was very confused by this to. It's probably the biggest plothole of Higurashi.
>>15336051
A set of rules that the author is basing the story off of as he is writing it does not excuse major plotholes within the story itself. Knox's rules were never mentioned in Higurashi at all, and even if they were, it still wouldn't make sense for Rika to not send Hanyuu to follow Takano and Tomitake the night they were murdered.

>>15336567
More often than not its Keiichi, Rena or Shion that go batshit insane, so she's going to be sending Hanyuu to watch them, not two of the victims.
Stop saying something's a plot hole because you thought of some master plan after watching the whole thing from a different perspective of the people living through the events.

>>15338369
I wouldn't call it a plot hole, but it doesn't make much sense either. It's pretty unlikely that Rika didn't think of trying it at least once during all that time. I guess it's more of an oversight

Did this happen in the VN?

>>15339158

>>15338369
Well what you call a "master plan" is something extremely obvious, which should be to rika aswell considering the amount of time she had to think.
There is nothing hard about reaching that thought at all, it's a logical conclusion actually as I mentioned earlier.
She never really used hanyuu to scout at all, because it would be the easy solution to the entire story obviously. Yet they never gave a specific reason to explain why she doesn't/can't use hanyuu like that.

Could someone please make more of these?
I'm still laughing at it. It's freaking great!

I thought this was kind of funny

I hate to be that guy, but where can I download Chiru with the vanilla sprites in Japanese?

>>15335236
Why don't Bern and Lambda hang out normally? Are they only able to find amusement in games due to spending eternity in torture jail?
Why didn't Battler become an edgy sperglord like them after he got trapped in his logic error?

>>15335438
What is the BGM they use for this? It's such a sassy song...

>>15342216
Not sure if trolling, but since your doubt seem to be genuine, I will answer properly.

If you want to play the vanilla version in japanese, just run the game through the first folder of it (the umineko.exe file in japanese).

Don't remember rather the Chiru PS3 patch still had that, or if it had a completely different kind of patching, but if it does, just download the "[mofu]Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru (5-8)" seraching for it on google and do what I said above.

The RAW japanese version (iirc, not even nyaa has it seeding anymore) is way more difficult to find than the patched version or the PS3 port (this last one being relatively easy).

And that's pretty much it.

He did it on purpose in order to make chick Beatrice remember her "older" self (more like, the self that died) iirc. And it was a fairly risky bet, I should say.
