Do people honestly believe we'll get translations now that fansubbing is dead?

>>17606641
Fansubbing is only dead because it's being replaced by more widespread official subs. Until the same happens with VN's, translations will continue to be a thing. It's just a matter of how much demand there is for one.

Lambdadelta apologists should be lined against a wall and shot.

>>17607131
At least Lambda is actually capable of being genuinely nice from time to time, unlike a certain selfish cat. Plus she's is a lot more cheerful and fun to be around than Bern. There's a reason she's popular while Bern has no other friends.

What is the classification of the concept of Umineko's meta-battles/logic-fights? I've been scouring tvtropes in order to find examples of other works that have used this kind of narrative device but I haven't been able to find anything.
Surely Umineko didn't invent meta storytelling/conflicts/fights?

>>17606114
gud car

So, how does this work exactly?

Ryukishi invented the world

>>17607914
Is that a Joj---ah fuck it.
Anyway, I've read a shitload of detective novels and I've come across other genres that use meta, but they never seem to combine in the way they do in Umineko.
There's plenty armchair detective novels where the detective discusses the case with his fellows in a sort of meta way. But I've never seen anything like logic battles, even without the overly shounen anime style. It seems unique to Umineko.

>>17607056
A shit. A true piece of shit.

>>17607764
You put your hand against the person, and you push.

If you were in charge of WTC5, where would you set it? What type of story would it be? Which references/characters from Higurashi/Umineko would you put in? And last but not least, what animal would be crying?

>>17608319
>If you were in charge of WTC5, where would you set it?
An abandoned hospital.
>What type of story would it be?
Something loosely inspired by Slenderman, where people explore old, abandoned buildings during a weekend, and spend the rest of the week researching the story, discovering really creepy stuff.
>Which references/characters from Higurashi/Umineko would you put in?
Not a single one because it wouldn't have anything magical at all. A lot of fear, but it would mostly be because they're telling each other scary stories while being in darkness.
>And last but not least, what animal would be crying?
Probably a dog, to spoil the fact that the monsters who have been following the characters were just dogs that settled in and got provoked by the stench of a guy's pee, thinking he was trying to take their turf over.

Like when you hear something rattling against your window and imagine some spooky monster, but it turns out it's just a branch.

>>17608319
It's been said before but I want fucking owls, I seriously can't think of a more fitting animal than an owl

>>17608355
But for what kind of story?

>>17608335
>>17608352
Interesting how a tripfag and an anon would come up with the exact same idea.

>>17608364
Hey, dude, let me explain you something that will blow your mind : tripfags are like anons, they just abandonned their anonymity.

>>17608371
And their dignity.

>>17608363
Well that's also been said before, but I'm still hooting (hahaha) for a snowy setting. Mountain lodge or village in a snowstorm, unexplained footprints in the snow, owls hooting in the night, something like Stupefaction playing as you peer out of the window and through the heavy snow you could see a figure roaming through the extreme weather conditions. That's just atmosphere though.

Storywise I'd want paranoia. Characters are mostly strangers, not family like in Umineko. Less alien parasites and witches, more grounded, isolated paranoia between a large cast of characters who are there for different reasons. Deaths, disappearances and suspense. Slowly revealing the reason why the cast are all there.

>>17608418
>I'm still hooting
... urgh.

>>17608371
>>17608406
And they forget they had their unnecessary flashing "look at me" sign turned on when posting, and then delete both posts.
If you're not a contributor to the threads like edit-anon or mystery-anon there's no need to have a trip. Fuck, even they don't have one.

>>17608424
>getting mad at tripfags
>after they fucked off
You're just looking for an excuse to get that thread off-topic, aren't you?

>>17608418
That sounded good, until the "revealing the reason why the cast are all there" part. I'm not a fan of these, they're always brought up poorly and seem unrealistic.
>"Woah, I recognized you, I ran over your kid's doghouse fifteen years ago with my car but I didn't recognize you two days ago because the plot didn't tell me!"

>>17608430
I just find it entertaining when people like that fuck up and everyone's there to see it.
>You're just looking for an excuse to get that thread off-topic, aren't you?
I'm actually the one sparking conversation here.

>>17608444
Oh no, you misunderstand. Nothing cheesy like a revenge story spanning years and years. And nothing like U.N. Owen inviting supposedly random people to his mansion in the middle of nowhere. I just like the idea of a fresh approach to WTC, where nobody really knows each other, so there's no established links between the various characters and they have to get to know each other from the start. I was thinking more like
>character went for a ski trip and got the wrong place
>frustrated out-of-work writer looking for peace and quiet in the snowy mountains for inspiration
>lost traveler
>survivalist
>owl fanatic/bird-spotter

No motives at the start. But murders/disappearances do start to occur and you only have the information presented to you from this fresh cast of unrelated characters to find out any motive.

>>17608479
I'd like to read something like that. My favourite arc in Higurashi was Onikakushi, and it was mostly because of all the paranoia. Being against everyone is always scary, and if you add that little touch "I don't know what the fuck is going on", it's perfect.

Even through I watched the anime, that scene in the game where Keiichi's father told him that Rena came to visit, and he figured out that she was just outside of his room, possibly listening to everything, the way it was said was bone-chilling.

>>17608444
Well bugger, it seems my entire reply to you was deleted because I quoted a certain someone else as well.
If you didn't see it, my main point wasn't about years-spanning revenge, I just want a cast of unrelated people with no real connection or motives. And the deaths only start afterwards, so you need to piece together the evidence presented, and not rely on past encounters etc.

>>17608484
Paranoia is where WTC thrives, I feel. Higurashi nailed it. Umineko had its moments but the meta-fights, cool as they were, took away from the original suspense and paranoia of being stuck on an island with a possible 19th person hiding somewhere.
That's why I'd like to see more paranoia-focused stuff in WTC5, which I think could benefit from a cast that has no ties or affiliations to one another.

>>17608517
Might work if they have no relations to each others. I did like Dangan Ronpa for that reason, people had very few connections with each others, and despite them trying to trust each others, paranoia was still a thing.

Umineko did a great job at presenting the characters, and the fact that they were family changed things a bit. Felt more heartbreaking to think they could be behind the killing. The whole meta plot was completely retarded and ruined the tension, though.
And yes, Higurashi nailed it. The anime heavily supported the "it's magical" side, but the original novel did a fine job of trying to present it as logical, even when really weird stuff happened. Like Rena just standing in the rain, the whispers, the sudden eyes changing, and the fact that the girls knew things. It was really good.
That's a bit funny, I really hoped for something magical the entire time, but when I got the explanation, I was disappointed. Building a mystery is always nice, but sometimes the answer isn't as good as you hoped.

>>17608355
>>17608418
My mystery senses are tingling now, I've been dreaming up a snow-set mystery for a while now but I've kept it quiet. I might work it out a bit more and post it soonish. I've felt a pang of guilt for not doing a mystery for the 10th anniversary back in August. The threads seemed too dead at that point anyway. Anyway, if there's still people out there who enjoyed my mysteries I could post it somewhere this week. And even if not I'll post it anyway just for my own amusement.

>>17608577
I remember writing a few mysteries for Umineko (between two posts describing how much I like Bernkastel's butt).
But I find the snow setting a bit complicated to use. You would need to make it unique, otherwise it'll feel like a retexture of the isolated island.

>>17608591
Snow footprints are a staple of the genre. I did one, fuck, must be a year ago now, with Battler dying in the middle of a snow field, with only his footprints leading up to his body. People came up with some amazing theories. It's more than the isolated island theme, it's about creating a scenario where a murder has happened, yet the culprit "couldn't possibly" have gotten away without leaving footprints, and that fascinates me.

All this snowy mountain lodge, owl stuff reminds me of Rim of the Pit which is a fantastic novel with more or less the same setting, but with a really disappointing solution, for the footprints in general. The other mysteries in the novel are great, but the footprints part made me roll my eyes, because it's literally the first thing you think of.

>>17608630
I dunno, I'm mostly interested in information play. Stuff like Tanako's death in Higurashi, for example. When you're given informations that you suppose is correct, or when the survivors are divided between two groups and find informations that reveal things to you, the player, but you know that they have to survive and meet to figure the thing out. Fucking with the player and the characters, to make it short. Probably extremely difficult.

Another thing that the anime butchered. In the game, they often mention how impossible Takano's death is, while in the anime, they just accept it. That got me coming up with a wrong theory, that there was a doppelganger.

To continue, while playing with informations and hints are fun, there's always the risk of the player figuring out things way too quickly and becoming annoyed with the characters.
I remember being annoyed by both Battler from Umineko and Naegi from Danganronpa when they failed to understand basic stuff. Same with the Ace Attorney games, sometimes you figure out stuff that's pretty simple, but the game's design forces you to get the answer wrong or to find a roundabound way to explain it.

>>17608352
>and that everything the characters saw or heard was just their fear and imagination getting the hang of them.
Basically Higurashi then

>>17608736
I hate that shit too, it's my main grip with ace attorney.
I can excuse Battler though, the early games are so weird and horrific, and with the magic shit going on, nobody would be able to think straight in his position. And I think he was pretty sharp in the latter games, too (but maybe I'm just too dumb for logic battles)

>>17608286
And they phase through the fence?

>>17608319
Twould be nice to see horses or donkeys cry this time round, other than that, idc bout the rest.

>>17609696
the fence broke you silly

>>17609019
Except Higurashi has Oyashiro-sama really existing, and the whole parasite queen thing.

>>17609178
The part that made me scream in frustration wasn't even in the early games, it was when Furudo Erika corners him in the bathroom. She inspects every nook and cranny except for one closet, and Battler is all like "dude, what are you doing??" when it's pretty fucking obvious she's cornering him.

>>17609940
It's visibly still intact. Keiichi even hangs from it afterwards.

>>17610555
It went like this.

>>17610573
But the fence is around shoulder height for him. How would that work from that angle?

>>17610599
Simple, he did a 320° backflip+nollie around it.

>>17610182
Battler was playing dumb though, the logic error was part of his plan

>>17611887
[] Truth.
[x] Doubt.

Hotarubi chapter 15 is out

>>17612193
Remember that GM Battler knows everything about Shkanon and Beatrice's tricks. Obviously, he knew how to solve the "logic error" from the beggining. Everything was part of his plan to bring back Beato.

What were your theories about Eva and Hideyoshi's deaths in EP1, before the other Episodes were released/you read them?

>>17612720
Ten years ago I wasn't familiar with the unreliable narrator thing so I took it at face value. Something outlandish like a stake-firing gun that shot Eva through the space between the door and the chain, and Hideyoshi was standing naked ready for his bath and the stake hit him so hard he fell backwards into the bathroom and into the already full bath

>>17612720
Murder-suicide caused by poison/virus X. Since it took a while for suicides to be denied, this was my position for a few episodes. Afterwards I just stopped thinking.

What the fuck is that video even. It pains me to look at it.

>>17615843
lmao, been a while since i last laughed this much

>>17616259
Ange has the best butt.

>>17616383
Indeed. A butt you can't help but be amazed by.

>>17616403
I want to cherish this butt.

>>17616418
I want to spank it good.

>>17616420
I'd rather use it as a pillow.

>>17616435
That is also a valid use of it.

>>17616383
>>17616403
She's got some nice tits too.

>>17616456
Umineko is full of tits, while butts are rare.

>>17616463
I wouldn't say they're rare. Just look at all the furniture.

>>17616475
Their butts are meh-tier. Plus it's kinda difficult to abuse the stakes and use their butts as pillows or drums since they can easily kill you.

>>17616443
Then again, it's not like you can't do both at once, resting your head on one buttocks while smacking the other with your hand, feeling the ripples against your cheek.
>>17616456
Indeed she does.

>>17616499
There's still over a dozen girls going around in leotards that accentuate their butts.

>>17616499
The stakes are still servants in the end, and as such have to obey their orders. You could even have all seven sisters line up and present their rear ends for you to use as a drum set.

>>17616540
>>17616563
True. The old Battler would have probably abused his power on the Stakes.

>>17616522
Sounds good.

>>17616463
>Umineko is full of tits
You say that like it's a bad thing.

>>17616596
Ass > tits.

>>17616599
I disagree. Both are great in their own ways.

Time for a mystery, guys!
Someone who prefers tits over butts was found ded, who did it?

>>17616631
Breast lover: shit taste
Butt lover: tastes shit

>>17616650
Time for a new murder mystery.

>>17616599
Would you a Satobutt?

>>17616811
She's a brat, but I can understand why, so no. Rika's fair game, though.

>>17616816
And what would you do to her?

>>17616843
Give her a spanking and a hug.
She'll probably forget everything in the next run anyway.

Or she won't, and she'll look at me funny the entire time.

>>17616862
Come on anon, you can do better than that. Just think of how creative you could get with the punishment games.

She's still a little girl. And she remembers every tragedy, so I can't really bully her that much.

>>17616914
What about Rena or Mion then?

>>17616948
I honestly have no idea how to consider Rena. On one hand, she has the most horrifying backstory in Higurashi (even through Shion and Mion losing their nails aren't that bad either), but she's also the friendliest of the cast.

Mion a total cute though.

>>17616958
>she has the most horrifying backstory in Higurashi
What

>>17617315
The others are mostly victims. Rena caused most of it.

>>17617318
Satoko literally killed her parents

>>17617339
She was deluded back then.

Plus she's a kid and basically forgot about it. Rena remembers her whole delirium, but tries to hide it.

>>17617339
This. Satoko had a way shittier life until her brother killed her aunt.

>>17617339
Satoko is basically the Rosa of Higurashi. The one who has everything constantly go wrong in her life.

>>17617380
Good think Keiichi arrived, frankly.

>>17613777
OC Donut steel

Keiichi is the least threatening in the gang.

>>17617387
Definitely. I really like their relationship.

>>17617637
is that scryed reference for keichis arm? since same voice actor. i might be just seeing too much into this.

>>17617644
Yeah it is.

>>17617637
Just looking at their behavior when under the effects of Hinamizawa syndrome, Keiichi killed 2 people in the heat of the moment, in what he believed was self defense.

Compared to that, Rena planned out and killed two people, then proceeded to threaten the lives of several children whom she knew were innocent.

Shion killed about a half-dozen people, none of whom had anything to do with her problem, and even took pleasure in torturing several of them.

>>17617666
I was talking BEFORE they all got to Hinamizawa.
Keiichi attacked kids out of frustration, Satoko pushed her parents out of stress, Mion and Shion just got family problems, Rika got spanked by her father, and Rena tried to slice her wrist, hallucinated maggots trying to crawl back in, and ended up attacking people with a fuckball bat.

>>17617666
rena only killed rina out of self defence

>>17617729
>Rika got spanked by her father
she probably enjoyed it though

>>17617795
Probably not the first time, but after 131 258 957 loops...

Beside, doesn't she mention spanking Hanyuu in her story?

>>17617795
Don't talk shit about best grill, maggot.

Is it true that Rei and Kira are fanservice crap?

>>17612720
>Kanon and Genji walk off on their own

Literally the easiest mystery in the entire series if you consider the fact that culprits can and will lie.

>>17618379
Wow, Bern's redrawn sprites is pretty... rage-inducing.

>>17618383
How so?

>>17618420
Flat and plastic. Facial expressions ruined again.

>>17618420
It makes me want to beat the crap out of her.

>>17618434
You should feel that way.

>>17618429
Then how would you suggest they do it?

>>17618471
Battler : +100 manliness.

>>17618475

>>17618490
They're not jut going to use the original art for a remake, that would defeat the purpose.

>>17618429
>Flat
Yeah, that was a questionable change.

>>17618539
Serious question here, do you guys prefer Bernkastel being flat or busty? I'm not talking about sex appeal, but her design. Whether having breasts makes her distinct from Rika and appear older, or perhaps it's because that's what she's originally drawn as, what is your preference and why?

>>17618671
I prefer her busty. Like you said, it helps to distinguish her from Rika. Plus her clothes look better with the chest filling them out. Without it the white section looks like a bib.

I know a lot of people shit on the PS3 sprites here, but some of them are really the superior version.

>>17619211
But that's wrong. The majority prefers the PS3 sprites over the original ones, even the Steam version. Only a small group of fossils likes the original ones.

>>17619240
>there are people prefer the steam sprites over the original
Absolutely Disgusting

>>17619595
*people who prefer

>>17618490
you could at least compare it to the same expression from the ps3 version

>>17619612
What I hate about nu-Bern is that she looks like a stick. I don't know if that makes sense, but she just doesn't look well-rounded enough in her figure, and her hair is stuck in that perpetual flowing position which bothers me as well. Original Bern actually looks like she has meat on her like an actual girl would. Her old expressions can't be replaced.

>>17619642
What I hate about Bern is that she's a bitch, but she's not a cute bitch like Mion who has a cute side. She's an irredeemable, egomaniac, self-centered piece of trash that belongs to the trash bin,

>>17619595
>there are people who doesn't
Seriously, they don't looks so bad. Battler for example looks fucking rad (I love his tan). The only sprites I don't like at all are the ones of Kraus and Ronove.

>>17620431
>they don't looks so bad

>>17620642
Problem? It's just my opinion.

>>17619612
Nah, Bern a shit.

How to put it... Her sprite shows too much of her character. It's a bit distressing to see her changing expressions while keeping the same posture constantly.

>>17620642
They really don't. Some may look bad, but others did a pretty nice job.

>>17621083
It bothers me how most sprites are like that.

The new sprites are an absolute abomination. Prove me wrong ánons. Protip; you can't.

>>17621083
Right? They are actually alright. If we start making comparisons the PS3 are the best of the three, but still the Steam version has some charm. Also it feels refreshing to see the characters with a different style, kind of like the manga.
>>17621170
You can think whatever you want.

I need your help Seacats. I play TCGs like MTG and planning on getting a custom mat done, but I have no idea what image I should use for it so I wanted some help on suggestions that would look good on a mat.

>>17619595
>there are people who prefer any sprite over the originals

>>17621320
I don't understand a word you just said, just so you know.

>>17621426
I understood "MTG" which means Magic The Gathering, some card game that plays like the Solitaire, but that's all.

>>17621340
There are ppl like me who play without any sprites because that is how Umineko is meant to be played. Same can be said about Higurashi.

>>17621426
>>17621434
Think of it as a big mouse pad where I put card on while playing against other people.

I just read through Purple Forgery thanks to a link to raws an anon posted last thread. Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened prior to most of the truth behind the gameboard being revealed? Or should I assume most haven't read it due to no translation existing?

Pic unrelated.

>>17621463
>Or should I assume most haven't read it due to no translation existing

that's how it is for me

>>17621455
There's plenty of potential images you could use among Umineko's PS3 backgrounds and CGs

>>17621496
I just can't think of anything good honestly so I was hoping to get some second opinions.

>>17621463
I think it was gaylord (aka edit-anon)

>>17621500
Well, it depends on what you're going for. Do you want something pretty that stands out, or maybe something more simple and elegant?

>>17621515
Prefer something more simple and not a mess to look at.

>>17621511
I didn't make those scans. It was some other anon.

>>17621521
>>17621515
Forgot to mention but it doesn't just have to be a background, something like >>17621496 is simplistic and nice.

>>17621521
The maybe something like this would work?

>>17621526

>>17621522
Oh, then it was Minidick (aka edit-anon 2)

>>17621534
>>17621536
These do look nice. It's just hard trying to find and figure out something that captures the essence of Umi.

>>17621543
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD

>>17621543
?
That is a bit difficult to capture in a single image.

>>17621543
The essence of Umi is just a bunch of cats and a seagull all together with adhesive tape trying to survive in the sea.

>>17621543
A group shot might work well then. I've got a few in mind.

>>17621580
>Rose hugging Maria
Fake.

>>17621580

>>17621586
You are fake.

>>17621587

>>17621563
No, THIS is the real essence of Umineko.

>>17621600
I giggled. You win

>>17621600

>>17621586
She's not hugging her, she's just getting ready to throw her at Lucifer.

>>17621622
World's greatest detective

>>17621632
He truly is.

>>17621639
What was the argument again?

>>17621600
I had better, but I can't find the picture.
Battler and Beatrice yelling at each others in typical 4chan fashion.

>>17621648
I can't remember, I think it was just how Erika flaunts how much she knows about detective stories and fucked one of them up.

>>17621652
implying magic exists

>>17621656
Yeah, pretty much.

>>17621659
More like "witches don't exist, grow up retard" and Beatrice answering "then prove it, faggot oh wait you can't!"

Fucking found it.

>>17621600
THIS is a the real essence of Umineko.

>>17621659

>>17621639
Erika bullying never really get old.

>>17621690
I prefer the other one. Booo!

>>17621706
Bullying does get old.

>>17621706
when you're waifu's a bully and a bully target the feelings can get complicated

>>17621714
Then just replace bullying with spanking.
I bet she would enjoy it.

Decided I will probably do a background, probably something with the golden land or metaverse.

>>17621726
>having a waifu
Loser

>>17621737
>not having a waifu

Get fuck outta here you un-loser

>>17621741
I have some husbandos but I don't take it seriously so that doesn't make me a loser, loser.

>not tagged Bernkastel
Wait a minute...

I know Bernkastel is inspired from Tooya's cat or something, but who the hell is that non-Bern girl?

>>17621762
I don't see nothing there. Are you sure you posted the right pic?

>>17621762
No, wait. I'm mistaking Tooya for Ikuko.

Can't I fucking call her "Horn Bitch's Writefag" instead?

>>17621734
That or something like this.

>>17621769
What are you being so mean all of a sudden, you dick munching faggot?

>>17621776
That's her fault for having a really shitty name.

>>17621773
>>17621734
Should I pretend like I care?
>>17621779
I was joking, loser.

>>17621734
That sounds like a good choice to me.

>>17621784
You don't really have to care.

>>17621788
Ignore and report cancer

>>17621797
This is your brain on /jp/

>>17621797
It's been awhile since I see you around. Hi!

>>17621797
Well done, loser. You just ruined everyone's fun.

Why are all Rifyu's pictures on Danbooru systematically downvoted?

>>17621948
>umineko is no longer popular
>people don't have sense of humor
>art style might be unappealing to some
>to annoy you
Decide.

>>17621962
A shame.

>>17621982
Is that Will? That's cute. I ship them.

>>17622005
That's Will, Diana, and the bitch, yes.

>>17622008
>the bitch
Rude. Bern is literally me, except not gay and more friendly.

>>17622017
>Bern

What.

>>17622023
Okay, not gay and friendly.

>>17622028
>Bern
>not gay

>>17622005

>>17622060

Why is Dlanor the best?

>>17622345
Because she's the sweetest.

>>17622345
What the fuck am I reading.

>>17622345
>>17622397
If she's so great then why she doesn't exist?
Checkmate waifufags

>>17622582
But she does.

If Battler ended up fucking Yasu, he would be banging his cousin, right? Or half-cousin?

>>17622619
Wrong pic, anon. And no, she doesn't.
>>17622629
Uncle.

>>17622644
But isn't Yasu Nanjo's granddaughter?

>>17622652
I recommend you to read the vn again, if not the manga.

>>17622662
Nevermind, I remember that small detail.

Ryukishi hammered it so much, weird that I forgot it.

>>17622671
Really, who did you forget that? It's not an small detail at all.

>>17622691
I tend to notice small details that are suggested, but to forget them when they're obvious.

>you'll never have a husbando as good as Will

too bad he's introduced so late and only as a plot device to solve the mystery for idiots that haven't caught on with the ending on ep6.

Hey, Kid. That's not funny. Wake up.

Don't leave ol' Rucks alone.

>>17622762
Will is a sly sexy cutie but I won't say he is the best husbando out there. It makes me sad how little of fanart there is about him and Lion.

>>17622807
Aww, poor not-Battler.

>>17622871
he's definitely the best husbando in umineko though.

>>17622933
nah thats krauss

>>17622933
I have a thing for Battler myself, but even so I agree with you.
>>17622936
Too old.

>>17622952
ronove then

>>17622957
Much better ^^

>>17622936
is it because of that scene with Natsuhi and the areca nut? because... yeah, he's kinda cute. He's kinda uggo in the face though, but all the uncles are kinda drawn ugly while the aunts are anime milfs.

>>17622952
battler is too unreliable. would not marry.

>>17622974
He's adorable though. I like dorkies like him, although I see your point.

>>17622933
Personally I prefer Battler. He just seems really fun to be with.

I remember getting excited for Amakusa and then it turns out he's just a bit character. I kinda wondered how Virgillius would had been like.

>>17622997
Right? Hanging out with him would be total fun. I imagine him getting all red and nervous while trying to make jokes to make me laugh and me pretending to be all serious and stuff to make him worry.

>>17621773
Her nose looks like one of those Chinese cookies.

>>17622762
>>17622871
>>17622933

How can you people have this bad of a taste? Willard is absolutely shiiiiiiit.
Bland, boring detective work, powered up to Gary Stu levels because of plot, looks like something a 12 year old would draw.

What is there to like?

>>17623022
>I remember getting excited for Amakusa and then it turns out he's just a bit character.
And a traitor.

>>17623037
Like this one?
>>17623042
George pls

>>17623032
Yeah, he may act all bold and perverted, but he's actually pretty naive and inexperienced when it comes to love.

>>17623062
Yeah.

>>17623059
Yeah.

>>17623062
Yep~ it would be cute

>>17623044
lol if you don't to get murdered by your husbando

>>17623062
that's why he's the absolute uke

>>17623091
>lol if you don't to get murdered by your husbando
That reminds me of Zack from Satsuriku no tenshi. I'm been quite obsessed about him lately. It's from a RPG horror game, I like it alot. Not too spooky, short and satisfying (though a little fucked up). The two main characters are soooo cute together even if the story is not that great is worth the try.

>>17621948
Rifyu is high comedy.

>>17622762
no a seacat character but i fucking love alan from rosegunfags. chillest male ryu has created. 410 may come close to him.
didn't even crybitch while seeing his gf getting shot right in front of him
even saved the fag bros life (who was technically responsible for his girl's death) by sacrificing his own in the finale

>>17623286
The highest of brow humor

>>17623355
>that fist spoiler

Dude fuck. Why did you have to remind me?

>>17623286
Rifyu has a really special humour, but I like how light-hearted it is.

How do I stop having impure thoughts about the Frederica Bernkastel?

>>17623355
Not even best boy in rose guns days
Chinese dude was best boy by far

>>17623594
You don't.

>>17623594
Try with a real relationship for a change. It should distract you enough to stop thinking about the imaginary girl and slowly would do the job.

>>17623644
I want her to squeeze my neck and face between her thighs.
>>17623656
I had a relationship once. 3 years of my life wasted to be honest.

>>17623666
Oh, I think I found the problem. You're a waifufag. I'm afraid there nothing I can do about your problem then, sir. Maybe a psychiatrist will do.

>>17623644
Please stop posting fat tit Berndelta.

>>17623656
>the imaginary girl
>imaginary
But witches are real!

>>17623675
S'alright, good ol' chap!

>>17623678
>But witches are real!
Can you prove it? No, you can't. They aren't real. Grow up.

>>17623678
Bernkastel has big fat cat tats.

>>17623691
Can you prove they aren't real?

>>17623675
3D girls are trash. Meta is the way to go my friend.

>>17623678
Never.

>>17623695
Of course. Not going to show you though. Too complicated for someone like you (waifufags).

>>17623704
Are you calling me trash?

>>17623695
>Can you prove they aren't real?
The witches or the big fat cat tats?

>>17623713
The burden of proof does not lie with me, my friend, but with you.
>>17623720
Both are very real, you see

>>17623719
Girls don't exist on the internet!

>>17623722
Sorry, your small brain can't handle so much information, anon. It would literally hurt you and then I would feel responsible. I'm thinking about your safety here.
>>17623726
If you said so.

It was such a good thread until the waifufags left their caves.

>>17623695
But her tits are deliciously flat for people with taste

>>17623709
brb puking my soul out

>>17623719
Let me help you out:

He said "3D girls are trash"
You are asking if he's calling you trash. Now there are two possible answers:

Case 1:
Anon calls 3D girls trash
You are a 3D girl
Conclusion: Anon calls you trash.

Case 2:
Anon calls 3D girls trash
You are not a 3D girl
Conclusion: Anon does not call you trash.

Hope that cleared it up for you.
If there's something you don't understand despite it being simple logic, please feel free to ask.
Always glad to help.

>>17623747
Honestly the anti-waifu vs waifu argument is more annoying than the initial waifufagging was.

>>17623753
But her her big tits are canon

>>17623760
This. At least the waifus and hasubandos brought up are actually related to the series. We're all faggoats here.

Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Lady LAMBDADELTA? Let alone defeat her.

>>17623747
These threads are 90% shit because there's not much left to discuss.
People experiencing the games for the first time are raising the quality for a short time but not long.
These threads really don't have a reason to be made every day. It's a cancerous general that does not belong here. Feel free to make a thread, if you have anything worthwhile to discuss but stop making them all the fucking time.
This eternal cycle has to stop.

>>17623685
I got it! I recommend you bananas. Keep eating bananas until you can't think about nothing else. The bananas would help you forget about your imaginary girlfriend. Bananas, anon.
>>17623753
Thanks.

>>17623774
Featherine, duh

So here's a little cute mystery I think that will move your little grey cells a bit and you might even learn something new in the process! There's a bit of fluff in this, so please bear with me.

Battler decided that he wanted to show Maria a magic trick, so he had everything prepared before coming to the island. On the island while the cousins were talking among themselves battler brought up the idea that he knows how to turn water in to magic water. Naturally maria wanted to see Battlers magic, so battler gave a nod to Shannon and Shanon left the room.
After a few minutes Shanon returned.
"Now, Maria, let me show you my magic water. Shannon, could I have that glass of water please?"
Shannon slowly passed it to Battler.
"Now maria, as you can see this normal water right?" Battler showed the glass to maria, and even sloshed it around for a bit "It moves fairly normally, so you know that there's nothing wrong with it right?"
Maria nodded enthusiastically.
Battler set it down on the table and put his hand over the glass closing his eyes. And after a few seconds the liquid turned dark blue instantly.
Needless to say, that maria was overjoyed and did not stop talking about it for the rest of the day.

Now my friends, how did Battler do it?

>>17623777
/seacats/ is eternal shut the fuck up

>>17623777
>>17623760
I was just mocking the waifufags, but I agree. Kill it!

>>17623753
>flat

>>17623782
He was hiding a small bottle of ink on his sleeve.

>>17623782
Easy, there exists certain chemical reactions that can change the color of the water. This magic of yours is nothing but a cheap chemistry trick.What actually happened is that Shannon used said chemistry tricks and it was timed to go off at a certain time, in this case being when Faggtler performs his "magic"

>>17623761
R07 = shit taste regarding bern
Staff responsible for PS3 sprites = people with refined taste

>>17623805
He was not hiding a small bottle of ink on/in his sleeve

>>17623812
Shit, man. I like both.

>>17623813
I don't believe you! He trained a pigeon to specifically drop from the skies a few drops of ink in the glass! Ha! Got you now!!

>>17623811
>>17623813
Respond to my theory, if not it's checkmate.

>>17623812
Heresy.

>>17623811
Battler could have talked and let others talk for as long as he wanted without having the liquid turn colors until he performed a certain action. It was not timed in the sense that Shannon put a chemical timer on it.

>>17623782
It was a very strange type of ink that looks transparent, but when reacts to the air changes color but only after a few minutes. It was all according to the plan!!

>>17623782
I'm inclined to think it's some kind of chemical reaction, but I can't think of a specific one off the top of my head.

>>17623838
Battler did not put anything inside the glass.

>>17623846
It was normal ink all the time then, but Battler hypnotized Maria into thinking it was normal water!!! Damn you Battler!!!!

>>17623831
You still haven't denied the chemical reaction theory, the trigger of the change isn't important to the theory, but let's say it was the heat from his hands that caused the reaction.

>>17623839
I guess it's just semantics at this point, so I'll just say that what I had in mind was an iodine clock reaction.

In the right quantities it doesn't really take effect until slightly after the liquid is stirred/shaken.

>>17623857
I knew the answer all the time.

>>17623830

Which background music is best Higurashi soundtrack and why isit Fascism?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMpkyl9tcQ8

>>17623892
It's this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv3MqnhWhec
It's easily up there with the "shit goes wrong" Umineko music like patchwork chimera and infant queen bee
Also https://youtu.be/0Wb-tFSRCnU deserves a mention for how perfectly it fit the moment it played at for being some random public domain song ryukishi found

>>17623857
Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was some kind of chemical reaction created by the heat of his hand (like the other anon said), then I thought shaking the glass would make more sense for the mystery, but I was already joking about with the ink stuff so might as well.

>>17623937
Instead of motion, perhaps the reaction happens when he sets it still on the tablet, right before he puts his hand over it? That part is getting my attention, but I'm unsure what it could be or if I'm just overthinking.

>>17623959
Yea, I even thought about asking if the table was being heated in any way, maybe it was a glass table covered by a large blanket and there was someone hiding under with a lighter or whatever, heating the place where the glass was placed and so creating some kind of reaction. But it was way to dumb to mention it.

>>17623987
It doesn't hurt to give crazy theories a shot, it amuses the one sharing the mystery and could give another clue.

>>17623774
Magical Gohda Chef can do a lot more than just touching her.

>>17624004
Yes, but I was already playing with my ink theory, so no chance. It was fun though, sorry if I was too annoying.

>>17624007
plz delet this!

>>17624007
Gohda is pure, anon. How dare you.

>>17623782
Battler put on a small film of transparent material over the glass that changes the color of water but not air.

>>17624014

>>17624028
What does Lambdabutt feel like?

>>17624028
That's gay.
>>17624069
Raise your hand and move it around a little. Did you feel it? Yes, it feels like nothing, because she's not real lol

>>17624007
>you will never see lambdadelta get pigroasted by gohda clones

>>17624093
A crying shame.

>>17624069
She's literally made of sweets. Her butt cheeks are probably just a pair of giant marshmallows.

I want to eat snacks with Lambda.

you know

Gohda's kinda hot in an ossan kind of way

>>17621622
>not posting the superior umineko project version, given to us by our blessed slav overlords

I like Umineko project for the most part, but I really wish they could have stuck with Witch Hunt's translation.

>>17623594
A liberal application of the hairbrush to her rear.

can we appreciate the manga art?

>>17624654
Sure thing. Which artist was your favorite?

>>17624679
episode 1, 3, and 8's artist natsume kei

his art admittedly looks kinda weird and lanky at first, but it feels like the definitive manga art style

people always argue about the VN sprites but honestly his artstyle is how i remember umineko, even though i read the VN first

>want to write a cool mystery VN
>too retarded to craft puzzles

>>17623777
>This eternal cycle has to stop.
Tell that to the retarded waifufags, but I doubt they would hear you with so much autism stuck in their ears.
I mean, take a look at >>17623666 as an example. He has much resentment and fear to have a new relationship because of his cowardice that he chose to deceive himself and stay single forever. This is the kind of person who makes these threads every time.

>>17624481
I want him to be my daddy.

Just wondering what would Ryukishi's take on some of the more established Umineko fanworks be like? For instance Witches&Woodlands or when the seacats cry, there was also that Erika game. Makes one think.

>>17625788
I'm sure he likes them all, like it's another way to foment his work to other new people and to know his fans still loves him.

>>17625774
Well, same can be said about touhouwaifufags with their multitude of autistic threads. At least seacats only take up one thread throughout the catalog and keep their cancer contained within that one general.

>>17625891
Too be honest, I don't play any attention whatsoever to the rest of this board. You're still right, I guess.

>>17625377

>>17626340
>This was drawn by a woman.

>>17626417
>more huge more best
Simply male thinking. It's not difficult to figure it out you know.

>>17626432
Is that why she decided to give all the questionably-sized girls a decent bust?

>>17626452
It's not the artist's decision to change the appearance of a character, but the author themselves. Also Shannon was always described as having a (fake) big bust and thats give them the opportunity to play with the idea and throw some fanservice for the male nerd readers, which means more money.

some posts ago, cannot find it at the moment but one particular anon have mentioned what the new wtc5 would be like to which another anon replied with a setting of strangers being trapped on a snowy place, cut away from civilization. Didn't Remember-11 do that? I asked about it from one of my vn friends and he has suggested that it mindfuck the reader similar to how umi/higu did.
https://vndb.org/v13

>>17626561
Kamaitachi no Yoru also has a similar premise

>>17626561
Maybe they were just trolling you or just making assumption. We don't know almost nothing about wtc5 yet.
