Umineko is the Demonbane SubaHibi of Fate

I think that consensus is that Beato is vastly overrated and Lambda is clearly superior.

It's the Dark Souls of visual novels.

Cried my eyes out during the magic ending, but I love Erika too much to not end on trick.

>Not in red.

The Japanese bird in that sentence refers to a specific bird only present in Japan. What is colloquially known as "Japanese bird" in /jp/ is not, and thus is amongst the set of other birds. The other birds can cook pasta, and thus the "Japanese bird" can cook pasta.

>>17694739
Tell me now that we're years out.

Was the ending of this really that it was all the wild dreams/speculations of an old man?

>>17699458
All the magic stuff happened. Also, it didn't.
If you've ever seen The Prisoner, it's sort of like the ending of that.

>>17695840
cross channel kusarihime etc you know all the stuff that rk07 really liked that inspired him to write a long ass game where he just continually bites off from his favorite authors while also sucking their dicks
but this was the one that caught westerners so he won in the end even if hes half baked

>>17700015
I have not seen The Prisoner.

>>17695153
I originally went for trick, but now I understand that both trick and magic are the true endings.

Well that made a lot of sense

How it should have ended.

>>17702556

In a fit of rage George throws Shannon off of a cliff

>>17702581
"If I can't have you no one can!"

>>17702556
My personal theory is that Battler fucked Shannon, George tried to kill him but kept barging into the wrong room and killed everyone. Then he caught Shannon and Battler fucking and killed himself.

>>17702700
I can get behind that theory.

Battrice

>>17703270
Girl Battler is so cute.

>>17703302
What if
Battler has lost his sexual organs too?

>>17703307
"I'm useless! I'm all useless!"

The 2nd coming of Banon.

There is no consensus, just as planned by the author.

>>17703347
Here you go.

>>17703485
Kill it with fire.

>>17703907
It is done.

Bern was my wife for years and still is!

>>17694739
It's one of my favorite works of fiction ever.

>>17705442
I hate your wife and I vowed to end her existence.

I just finished the chapters 1-4 with ps3 sprites and voice acting, how do I move forward to chapters 5-8? Is there a version with ps3 sprites and voice acting as well? Or just the voice acting?

Is pic related the way to do it? It was the first torrent I found

Also I feel extreme regret over getting spoiled, until chapter 2 I still thought everything I was being shown was real even after Virgillia told me to look past it, I was so out of the loop at first that as I played I kept a notebook writing dates and names since I wasn't spoiled at that moment and people told me I was supposed to figure it all out myself

Also I have a question, when I first started playing i saw Shannon's one winged eagle tattoo on her leg and I immediately thought "oh OK so Shannon is a hidden or secret family member that will be brought up eventually" then later on, when Beatrice shows up in chapter 2, when Kyrie sees her, I inmedietly noticed that she also had a eagle on her leg, so I was like "OK so Shannon is Beatrice and she is a hidden secret family member"

But nothing came of it, it was never mentioned that she had a tattoo on her leg, I kept waiting but it never happened, and even worse, the tattoo was on her other leg, it all felt so obvious that I just dismissed it and focused on different things

What was the deal with that, Shannon has a winged eagle tattoo on both legs? Was it just a prank to switch which leg it was on? Is it ever brought up that she has an eagle just like Eva?

>>17694739
My opinion is that it tried too hard to be smart and ended up giving me the impression some university kid was trying to scam me with a huge speech full of fancy words that ultimately didn't mean much.

Yeah, it's a story about what might've happened on an island. Was it necessary to shove it in my face that believing in magic makes life funnier? Or that Kinzo fucked his daughter?

>>17706705
Hi, Carlos. To answer your question, no. Your torrent a shit. Also, is that Windows 10?

>>17706788
It's windows 8, the torrent worked, I'm somewhat glad it's not the ps3 sprites since the original sprites are also very enjoyable, but it doesn't have voice acting, is there a version of the answers arc with voice acting?

>>17706974
Carlos... Don't bother with the PS3 sprites. Or backgrounds for that matter.

>>17706975
But I already said I'm not bothered by them, I'm glad I'm seeing the original ones, I'm asking about the voice acting

>>17706705
Everything you need should be here.

If Battler looked like Kinzo in his young days then it's only logical that the old version of Battler would have looked like grandpa Kinzo but with red hair because of his strong genes. Could someone render a sprite of Kinzo in such a way? As in recoloring his white hair and beard in red. I would be ever so grateful.

>>17707360
How's this? I went ahead and tweaked his eye color a bit too while I was at it.

>>17707399
Thank you soo much Anon. This sprite is absolutely perfecto!

>>17706726
That's not a tattoo, that a wierd leg holster kind of thing. Like a transparent stocking with the eagle on top. So no, that was never relevant in the first place.

>>17707399
Now Battler is a true game master in the literal sense.

>>17707473
Always happy to help.

>>17705452
Same, there is nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise.

I'm kinda doing a research about it btw
How many copies did the VN sold (I only have the PS3 game numbers, I want the original's)

How did a generic Character from a mediocre JRPG become best Higurashi?

>>17707095
Yes there's a torrent on nyaa. But you'll have to use the ps3 sprites.

Remember how people talked about how Danganronpa V3 would be inspired by Umineko?
Turns out he never played Umineko, because if he did then he must have closely studied and thought about what made the japanese fanbase hate it and how he could make it 10 times worse

>>17710172
DR takes more inspiration from Zero Escape than anything.

>>17710204
The directors of both series are best friends so it's normal
People thought that this time it was going to be inspired by Umineko because he did some metaworld shit in the anime and V3 has a character who is pretty much Maria with a dumb catchphrase a always saying that magic is real

>>17710172
As someone who is currently playing V3, I have no idea why anyone would say they are related even loosely at all other than the fact 1 character believes in magic because she is a magician.

>>17710798
Is V3 good if I hated the second's eccentricity?

>>17712093
So far I'm finding it to be a bit of a middle ground between the first and second game. Its first case is also by far the best first case of the series.

>>17712133
Mmm... Might be good, then.
I liked how realistic the first game was (at first, because it becomes weird by the end), and the third game looks like it has a lot of cute girlss with nice butts.

Only 2 days 'till the family conference. Have you guys thought about the topics that might be discussed at the meeting?

>Besides the voice arcs, all other arcs including sprites and backgrounds are tied down to specific paths. Removing them will not revert them to their original sprites, you will literally have no sprites or backgrounds if you attempt this. This patch is NOT interchangeable.

It seems that the Uminekofix patch doesn't support that.

No one denies R07 borrows heavily from others, but he does transmute the result into something superior than the sum of its parts, and I say that as an Agatha Christie fan.

>>17713751
>implying I know what Warosu is
You're overestimating me.

>>17713754
He's an expert at making stuff explicit. I'm still upset by how he repeats three times that Kinzo fucked his daughter.
First, he says it with subtility. Then he repeats it. And then he adds a flashback Where Beatrice the Second begs.

Okay faggoats, if you could be any seacat for Halloween, who would it be?
Who would you realistically dress up as?
And what magic costume would you wear; even if you're a big smelly dude, you could even passably appear as one of the loli witches just for Halloween.

>>17713772
>Who would you realistically dress up as?
The goatmen. The original ones.

They're dapper as fuck.

>>17713770
I don't think you understand the meaning of "explicit". Your mental imagery does not count, it just goes to show that he managed to convey the point across for your imagination to do the rest.

Also thats not at all something meant to be ero, its a crucial part of the narrative.

>>17713786
If the writing says what he does, that count as explicit.
There's a difference between meekly saying that he "treated his daughter like one would treat a wife" (I think that's what was said), and having her begging him to not fuck her.

What the fuck went so wrong that I have a sour memory of everything but the music?

>>17713819
>not linking Patchwork chimera
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dORf0tLaSn8

>>17713994
Never said I didn't like it. It just hasn't marked me. Maybe the action distracted me from the music.
I tend to prefer Grey Empty Smile. But ALIVE is still the one that makes me feel emotions.

>>17714006
>Maybe the action distracted me from the music
I understand. I forgot some tracks too.

>>17714019
To be honest, in the later arcs, there are a lot of music I didn't notice. Probably because I was doing that face (←) the entire time.
I mostly remember the musics from the first game. Like that one with the violins when what's-her-face freaks out in Kinzo's study and chase everyone out.

>>17714027
>probably because I was doing that face
Episode 6 is such a pain.

>>17714059
Honestly, the whole "answers" feel like a pain. The part I remember most is when goats start devouring Rokkenjima. At that moment, I stopped caring about the entire mysteries, because I felt there was none.
Come that goat who also stopped caring, and it get beaten up by Wright. I took that as a personal comment on the fact that I stopped caring, and I really took it badly. It felt like some guy was telling me a story about how he punched a dragon in the dick and got mad when I nodded with a "hu-uh, you sure did".
The game constantly repeat that you're supposed to keep looking for the solution while also telling you that there's no solution. I'm not fond of fool's errands, personally.

Has anything been said about WTC5 so far other it not being set in a closed space?

>>17714131
>not being set in a closed space?
All interest lost.

>>17714078
>I took that as a personal comment on the fact that I stopped caring
Because thats what it was. The entire scene was an enormous fuck you moment, if not the entire chapter.

>>17714159
And that was the last nail in the coffin. At this moment I completely and absolutely stopped caring about the characters.

>>17714078
Honestly, seeing people like you continue to whine about EP8 7 years later with the same "I FELT INSULTED" posts is a pain

>>17714170
Honestly, seeing retards still white-knighting R007's 2deep4u wankery is a pain.

>>17714173
Nobody's whiteknighting, we're just sick of you babies continuing to say the same thing over and over again for 7 straight years. Go to another fucking thread if you hate Umineko so much, you mongoloid.

>>17714177
>Nobody's whiteknighting
t. white knight

>>17714078
>when goats start devouring Rokkenjima
I don't want to remember this... But, episodes 5 and 7 are quite enjoyable, especially when Erika faces Battler and Yasu tells her own story . The 4 last chapters aren't garbage at all.

>>17714170
The answers are already known just before the last episode. It's understandable that some people stopped caring about it or felt bored. I liked the riddles part, though.

>>17714182
Yasu's intervention in the story was just weird. I had no issues with the different layers of stories, but for some reason, I had issues understanding what Yasu was, especially since Beatrice already existed.
And also, I was displeased to see Wright back after his farewell in the last act. Seeing him again completely ruined my understanding of the witches' layer and the various factions inside it.

>>17714078
>The game constantly repeat that you're supposed to keep looking for the solution while also telling you that there's no solution.
When does it ever say that there's no solution?

>>17714195
At several points in the story, various characters on the magic side tell you that there's no solution, and go on to explain that if the solution is found or forged, it kills the mystery and everyone on Rokkenjima.

>>17714198
I think you're misunderstanding. Solving all the mysteries and exposing the truth WOULD kill Beato, since she's a personification of the illusion of the witch. But that doesn't mean there are no solutions. The manga even spells them all out for you.

>>17714216
I never read the manga.

>>17714198
Please provide a specific example of what you're talking about, because people like you constantly misinterpret episode 8 as saying "lol no answer" when it's really about Ange not caring so much about truth that it clouds her memories of the good aspects of her family. Ryukishi even went so far as to say "this is the truth" in the manga to appease you.

>>17714219
>because people like you
Stopped reading there. Go strawman someone else, I'm not here to fuel your retarded delusions.

>>17714221
Not my fault you're whining like a bitch. Go ahead and prove me wrong.

Ebin.

>>17714217
Wright solves the mystery in chapter 7 too even if he never gives straight answers. There is no reason to think there is no solution. The real problem is that the antagonist is awful so the solution suffers too.

>>17714217
You should. All the answers are laid out in Episode 7 and 8 of the manga. At the very least you should read Confession of the Golden Witch.

>>17714246
Isn't that in itself an attack?

>>17714259
>The real problem is that the antagonist is awful
You mean Yasu? Because they were great.

>>17714259
>There is no reason to think there is no solution
Other than Beatrice hammering that from day one and the narration making it clear that Battler will never be able to deny her but won't give up, making the whole story a stalemate until someone disrupt their game.

>>17714260
I already have a low opinion for Umineko for being pretentious and arrogant. I have an even lower opinion of video games or movies needing outside knowledge to be understood.
Fuck you Prototype 2.

>>17714274
>Other than Beatrice hammering that from day one
She was spewing bullshit like always and Battler was too dumb to solve the mystery for a long time, but in the end he did. Did you think the edible bombs were real too just because Beatrice pretended they were?

>>17714274
>I already have a low opinion for Umineko whine whine whine
Then why are you here? To parrot the same arguments people have said a million times over the last 7 years? They don't matter anymore. We know the truth and everything has been cleared up. It was a flawed work that needed to be fixed by the manga. We get it. We got it 7 years ago. Get over it and read a thread you enjoy. Imagine coming specifically to a general thread for a series you don't like in order to whine about it.

>>17714274
>needing outside knowledge to be understood.
You don't NEED it to understand the mysteries. It should be pretty clear after Episode 7 who the culprit is. All you need to do then is go back through the crimes to come up with the tricks. All the manga does is confirm the answers you should have already thought up on your own, while also adding in some bonus content that helps you understand the motive.

>>17714295
While I agree with what you say to some extent, I think it's that kind of attitude that puts people off about the Umineko fandom. Don't get mad at him for not understanding. Instead, be patient and try to explain it calmly.

>>17714291
>Did you think the edible bombs were real too just because Beatrice pretended they were?
No, I just took the game for what it was : a game. The only layers I really cared about was Ange's story, and the witches' layer, because they happened outside of Rokkenjima and thus can be "true". Beatrice always refers to the murders as games, so I never really bothered trying to solve them, and you have very little to try to clear the witches' story (since they're fairly unpredictable), or Ange's story.

The whole murder mystery with Rokkenjima is just a filler to keep the audience distracted from Eva's and Ange's story, who's the only interesting story since it actually move forward, and gives a nice conclusion to a really depressing story.
In fact, isn't it explained as some point in the story that all the murders that Battler try to explain are actually forgeries created by some weird people on Internet?
Poor Eva, she should've told the truth to Ange instead of playing the bad guy.
And what the hell is up with Ange's story in the school of Bitchy McBitches? School bullying (and orphanage bullying, and in fact kid abuse in general) seems to come up often in Ryukishi's works.

>>17714313
I see your reason.
I'll still politely decline, through for a different reason.
Poor Yasu. I want to give him a hug.

>>17714325
Don't bother with him, he obviously has his head too far up his ass to listen to anyone. I bet he'll accuse you of being me.

>>17714334
>School bullying (and orphanage bullying, and in fact kid abuse in general) seems to come up often in Ryukishi's works
It's because he used to work with child services. Child abuse is probably something he's really familiar with, and he makes it a recurring theme in his work.

>>17714343
Ha. That explains a lot.
It's the part of his works that I dislike the most because it always hit hard.
In fact, didn't he wrote some work with a bullied girl that turn into a youkai? Hachiganbana or something like that?

Umineko Generals,
Not even once.

>>17714334
>In fact, isn't it explained as some point in the story that all the murders that Battler try to explain are actually forgeries created by some weird people on Internet?
I think 2 were written by Yasu and the rest by himself with help from Ikuko.

>>17714356
What about the other witch hunters that mimic Ikuko?

>>17714349
Higanbana, his next work after Umineko. It's probably his darkest work, and really cranks up the child abuse thing, opening up with a schoolgirl getting raped by her teacher.

>>17714361
Their works are low quality stuff. Consider them fanfiction.

>>17714361
They wrote a shitton of what if scenarios but I think the ones we actually see were either the ones Yasu threw away inside a bottle or the ones Ikuko wrote.

>>17714362
I'll pass, then.
I really loved Higurashi because of the atmosphere of conspiracy, the whole curse implication, and the fact that after everything, they still manage to be happy because Bernkastel ultimately prevented Tanako from going to the Rape'R'Us Orphanage.

Tragedy is good if it ends. It makes the good ending sweeter when they work hard to get it.
Higurashi was a rollercoaster of murders, paranoia, torture, nails ripped, and hand holding, but it has a good end.

Umineko... I still don't understand why Yasu jumped the boat.

>>17714367
>>17714371
Oh, okay. I misremembered that detail.

>>17714334
Episodes 1 and 2 (as well as Land of the Golden Witch, an unpublished rough draft of Episode 3) were written by Yasu via message bottles. Episodes 3 and onward were written by Tohya and Ikuko

>>17714377
He felt guilty. Honestly Yasu's motivations were weak for everything he did right until the end.

>>17714377
Yasu drowned themselves because they still felt responsible for inciting the tragedy, and also because they were afraid that Battler wouldn't accept them once he learned the truth about their body.

>>17714383
Wait, so Eva met Battler after the incident? And she recognized him? And she never told Ange? I thought Battler wanted to avoid contacts with the Ushiromiya because he was getting anxious after his lost memories, but he accepted to see Eva and never told Ange he was alive? What a brother.

The whats are intensifying.

>>17714395
>>17714398
This is getting even darker.
Yasu really needs a hug.

>>17714395
I wouldn't say their motivation was weak.

>>17714401
That scene didnt happen in the VN but I think I remember Ikuko having Eva's diary or the key to it or something like that so its implied they met.

>>17714410
So ultimately, Yasu killed everyone and ruined the lives of the survivors for nothing.

;_;

>>17714416
Is Eva a bitch or is it postincident!Battler?

>>17714401
>Wait, so Eva met Battler after the incident?
Not Battler, Tohya. "Battler" drowned with Yasu. Tohya avoided Ange because... well frankly he was scared of meeting her because he thought "he" would die and this other man named Battler would take over his body.

>>17714422
They are both kinda assholes.

>>17714431
Eva is as much a victim as Ange was. Bern's the real asshole here.

Jesus Christ, this thread is literally a shining example that people who hates Chiru simply didn't it read properly.

>>17714436

>>17714438
Stop it. You won't help anyone with that aggressive attitude.

>>17714429
But Eva recognized Battler in >>17714383. Why couldn't she tell Ange? It makes sense for Battler to want to avoid Ange, but not for Eva to hide this from Ange.

>>17714431
At this point, honestly, everyone is an asshole in that story.
Every single person did something horrible in the past. Except Eva's husband.

>>17714438
See >>17714325

>>17714377
You really should read Higanbana. Some stories aren't dark as that one.

>>17714436
>Bern's the real asshole here.
I've been saying that from day one, but you liberals are all like "nooo, don't spank the witch, she didn't du noffin".

>>17714444
I'm not sure how far her relationship with Ange had deteriorated by that point. But she also probably wanted to continue hiding the truth from her to protect her, plus Tohya probably convincedher that he was not Battler any more.

>>17714455
Don't strike the asshole's asshole.

>>17714442
Shut the fuck up.

>>17714442
Thats from Tsubasa, right? I liked the one that ties in with Higurashi (Tanako and Lambda) but im not sure how canon that is.

>>17714442
>aggressive attitude
If I wanted to be aggressive I would told him that he's faggot. At least he's listening if anything.
>>17714455
Bern is just playing a villain here. Please don't bully.

>>17714455
>liberals
I really wish these /pol/tards could kill themselves already.

>>17714452
I don't know. Umineko's convoluted way of telling things make me think that Ryukishi's ego massively inflated when Higurashi became a success. I don't know how Higanbana is narrated, but if it's both kid abuse and several layers of filler, incompetence, and characters double-crossing each others, I really don't want to.
If anything, I'd rather re-read Rose Gun Days. It's pretty depressing as well, but most of the violence is offscreen, and it seems realistic enough for me. Plus I don't think I ever finished it.

>>17714459
Probably a lot. Either that, or she forgot. Her last scene seems to depict her as going senile, believing in snipers trying to shoot her through the window and stuff.

>>17714452
>Some stories aren't dark as that one
The bunnies say hi.

>>17714470
>believing in snipers trying to shoot her through the window and stuff
Well that happened to Ange a few days afterwards.

>>17714452
Higanbana is meh as fuck. It only has one or two good stories, the rest is just edgy shit

>>17714467
Even if she's just playing a cunt, I can still get mad at her for acting like a cunt.

>>17714476
And yet some people still ship them.

>>17714464
I'm not interested in her asshole, I'm interested in the area around it.

>>17714467
She plays a bit too well for my taste. Let's bully the kitty!

Ange imagines that happening and kills Amakusa to prevent it.

>>17714497

>>17714503
That's even worse.

>>17714505
Well, it's the bad ending.

>>17714479
>>17714480
Providing entertainment is a serious business. Please don't be mad on her because her role was most excellent.

>>17714470
Higanbana is more focused on bullying. The child abuse stuff just appears in one of several short stories (which are partially linked).

>>17714505
Its hard to understand what really happened but the way I interpreted stuff is that, based on the scene in which Ange gets beat up by her aunt, Amakusa had really been ordered to kill Ange but he decides to save her anyways and that leads up to the magic ending.

>>17714505
The manga goes on to have it lead into the Magic ending, with Ange coming to on the safety net after jumping off the skyscraper.

>>17714511
Ruining people's lives is no entertainement.

>Providing entertainment is a serious business
Well apparently witches fucking die if they fail to do it.

>>17714521
You're a funny person.
>>17714511
I honestly don't get the hate for her. After all, almost every character was a gigantic moron before death.

For fuck's sake, it pisses me off!

>>17714521
Only if you're cynical asshole that don't believe in magic.

>>17714511
>>17714531
Bern likes her milk.

>>17714514
So yeah.
Fuck that. I'd rather watch Storm Of The Century and repeat to myself it's actually spooky than read that.
I want to be spooked, not revolted.

>>17714515
That's what I understood.
Since she ends up meeting Battler after that, she obviously suvives.

Ange had the best development in the series.

>>17714535
The magic ending starts right after she falls off the skyscraper, which was weeks earlier.

>>17714536

>>17714536
Impressive for someone who's actually alive and not death, like the rest of the characters.

>>17714542
... what?

>>17714542
Then what was up with the scene in which she gets beat up by the mafia but then a stake kills them? The stake killing them is obviously a stand in for a sniper but is that just a weird kakera unrelated to either ending?

>>17714548
It's an alternate future.

>>17714543
Does Erika have love for her mistress?

>>17714548
Stupid Ryukishi is stupid and doesn't know how to write a concise story.

>>17714535
Higanbana is also spooky (like the first chapter of Higurashi). You shouldn't miss these stories.

>>17714557
I love higu and thought that higanbana was garbage.

>>17714555
Erika would rather be on the receiving end when it comes to her master.

>>17714569
I don't know, something about Erika turns me off. I don't know if it's the fancy dress or the pigtails, but she isn't in my strike zone, despite being a breat. Even worse than a brat, a bitch.

>>17714576
Y-You just have poor taste!

Just because you have a lot of respect for an author doesn't mean that you have to enjoy all of their works. Higanbana is probably his weakest work.

>>17714579
Well, not like most of us have even looked at Iwaihime or Trianthology.

>>17714582
Iwawho?

>>17714556
But his most successful story was pretty concise. He just decided to outdo himself over and over after that and it became retarded. He quite literally jumped the shark.

>>17714578
Sorry, she just doesn't strike my fancy. I do remember her having quite the body in her wedding dress.
Maybe if she had a different hairstyle...

>>17714585
Forget it, I already remembered.

>>17714585
Iwaihime, some untranslated work nobody knows about.

>>17714587
Being more ambitious with your writing isn't a bad thing. I actually enjoyed Umineko more than Higurashi. Also, Ryukishi is NEVER concise, and Higurashi was only successful because of the anime. Most of its "fans" don't know jack shit about the series as a whole.

>>17714578
>>17714590
Who cares about Erika? She's dead.

>>17714590
Her figure varies dramatically.

>>17714606
Actually, she doesn't look half-bad in a swimsuit.

>>17714597
>Iwaihime, some untranslated work nobody knows about.
I thought there was a manga of something. I never felt like taking a look and search for it so I don't really know.

>>17714607

>>17714612
Waifufags are pathetic.

>>17714609
There are 2. Hotarubi and some Harem battle royal thing.

>>17714606
I like the pachinko chara design.

>>17714615

>>17714617
One of the better ones.

>>17714612
Now you're starting to interest me with that butt.

>>17714616
Is there no translation in english or french? I might read it later to kill some time.
>>17714622
Hey virgin.

>>17714628
Hotarubi's translation is in progress. As for the other one, I've heard nothing.

>>17714628
Higurashi is the only one that was translated in French, to my knowledge.
And the translation for once isn't actually shit.

>>17714627

>>17714636
Not a single chapter out? boring. Thanks anyway.
>>17714638
I know.

>>17714639
I like. Not as much as Bern's, but I like.

I should try to snoop around, see if there are stuff related to my interests. I'll see you all later.

>>17714644
Bye forever and ever.

>>17714644
We despise pervert weirdos like you and those waifufags. Never come back.

>>17714658
Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I find suitable materials.

>>17714658
Don't speak for everyone.

>>17714666
Don't waste your energy. That retard isn't worth it.

>>17714661
No, you will not.
>>17714666
I thought it was very obvious that I was joking, still that doesn't mean it's not true, for my part at least.

There's very little stuff with Erika. Or about Umineko in general.

>>17714675
Stupid waifufag-nerd-virgin-dumbass has no right to call anyone a retard.

>>17714590
>Maybe if she had a different hairstyle...
How's this?
>>17714682
There's enough to get by. Of course, I always wish there were more.

>>17714687
Most forced try-hard boring character ever made, and yet some people find this character likeable.

>>17714693
She's not likable, she's entertaining.

>>17714697
Entertaining in being a forced try-hard boring character?

>>17714702

>>17714713
I see you have nothing to say. I will take your silence as my victory and move on. In your face, waifufags losers.

>>17714719

>>17714724
Still, no counter argument that might prove that what I said is wrong. Truly a victorious victory for me, the victor. Never come back again, dumb waifufag.

>>17714734

Even victory needs sleep

>>17714521
That's what reading and writing fiction is all about.

>>17714543
>That subtle scythe shadow.
I would never not be not unimpressed by that.

>>17715698
Bern also gets one in >>17714442

>>17714687
It does wonder for my lust.

>>17715698
>>17715801
I'm not sure if that was the intention of the artist. Maybe you're seeing what you want to see.

Do you think Ikuko has some really cringy sleeping place for Bern?

Can anyone explain why I always imagine Ryukishi's stories taking place in DM-Antalus?

She tried to solve the mystery because incompetent battler could not
She tried to give the story an ending, but Battler wanted to hide Beatrice's dick from the public
She LITERALLY tried to unmask the culprit of a mass murder and Battler somehow thought he had the moral high ground
She is considered a villain
In comes Willard with the same goal, but slightly different methods and he's one of the good guys

What the fuck is wrong with this picture?

>>17716605
She misses the horn.

And "slightly different" methods? Erika outright admits she wants to intellectually, savagely rape Battler. She picks fights with kids for fuck's sake just to assert dominance.

>>17716612
>>17716612

The end justifies the means

Get with the times.

>>17716617
I'm not sure that intellectually raping someone is acceptable.

Then again, she's on Bratkastel's payroll. Bratkastel who set up Ange against Eva, ruining their lives. Bratkastal who probably ruined Yasu's life as well. Bratkastel who probably clogged my toilets as well.

Fuck you Bern.

>>17716633
Which one of these is worse
Battler, having his feelings hurt and Maria crying a little bit or having a potential mass murderer out on the loose?

beato paizuri

>>17716646
Hurting Battler's fee-fees should be a spanking sentence, to be carried on immediately.
Are you referring to Ange when mentioning the mass murderer?

>>17716654

>>17715951
Nah. I like this one much better, although she will surely ignore it from time to time. Bernkastel surely loves to sleep in high places like wardrobes or bookcases to see the dumb pathetic humans below, and if she feels lonely then in the head of her owners, when they are sleeping. All that hair is not going to be chewed itself.
>>17716605
She also slipped, fell off the boat and drowned like an idiot, even though she consider herself a genius. Pfff, truly worst character ever.

>>17718094
I'm sure Ikuko would pick the pinkiest catbed just to anger Bratkastel.

>>17718108
That's so mean!

>>17718111
But Ikuko is mean. And Bernkastel deserves all the bullying and all the spankings.

>>17718131
I thought I had killed the spankeranon a long time ago. This displeases me.

>>17718143
You should try killing the whiner instead.

That means yourself.

>>17718219
Nah, l like her.

It is now October 4th in Japan.

>>17718299
I like that expression.

>>17718299
Obviously...
https://youtu.be/JLSAv8vhgsQ

>>17718299
And if you didn't know, the ocean is full of water.

>>17718299
Is Bernkastel throwing a tantrum?

Could anyone list all of Ryukishi's works and what they're about? I only know about the When They Cry books.

>>17718439
Higurashi no naku koro ni
Umineko no naku koro ni
Higanbana no saku yoru ni
Rose Guns Days
Iwaihime
Hotarubi no tomoru koro ni
Trianthology
Renai Harem Game Shuuryou no Oshirase ga Kuru Koro ni

>>17718453
Okay, so the two No Naku Koro Ni are murder mysteries, Higanbana is about bullying, and Rose Guns Days is about the post-war Japan.

Could anyone redpill me on the others?

>>17718463
Iwaihime. Spooky doll is spooky and cursed and bad things start to happen. No translation yet, but it looks pretty much like Higanbana with all the edgynes and stuff.
Hotarubi no tomoru koro ni. Basically a prequel of Higurashi with Takano as the main character.
Trianthology. Alice in wonderland, but in the space, told in three apparently stand-alone stories that are connected together to form a single one. Translations about to arrive in twenty years.

>>17718571
Iwaihime looked interesting until you said it was as edgy as Higanbana.
What's Hotarubi about? Still the curse of Lady Oyashiro?

>>17718581
Haven't read it yet. It's a manga and I think it's already fully translated. Check it out if you're curious.

>>17718592
I will, thank you.
A bit bummed about Iwaihime being edgy, I remember I liked that manga called Ghost Hunt because it's a practical approach to hauntings and ghosts.

>>17718596
No problem, and also good taste. If you haven't read it yet I recommended you Le Portrait de Petit Cossette, preferably the manga instead of the OVAs. Not saying the OVAs are bad, but they don't do justice to the style of the manga. It's about a ghost trapped inside a painting and the obsession that she inspires to the protagonist, it's quite tragic but I like it.

>>17718625
That feels like a Poe story. I might like.

Even if the huge typo in the name triggers the baise out of moi.

FINALLY found it.
I'm only 22 hours late.

>>17718633
You mean like Ligeia or The oval portrait? Yeah, it reminds me a little now that you mentioned.

The hands are usually positioned face down when you receive ruler hits.

Why is Yen Press so fucking slow translating?

>>17719894
They want to ensure "high quality" translations.

>>17719917
At this pace they won't finish the two remaining episodes before 2020.

>>17719992
Well they do still have 18 volumes left.

>>17720020
But those are actually ~9 releases as they use fat tankobons.

>>17720026
Which is why they only release about 3 times a year, since each one compiles multiple volumes.

>>17721008
No, you want to hit the sensible part of the hand to make it painful. The palms are hardened and don't feel as much.

>>17721010
You want to make it painful, not to break her hand.
Actually, I think you hit the top of the fingers, but with a ruler.

Happy birthday you smug little nerd

beato

It's supposed to be punishment, imbecile. The goal is not to tear a cartilage or badly hurt the person, and this is the safest way possible. Not umineko though.

Actually both the knuckles, the fingers, the palms and the reversals are valid options, and depend on the personal style and taste of the punisher.

The release was more regular, it's just this sudden gap between the end of Episode 6 and the start of Episode 7 that's been taking so long.
Volume 1 comes on sale November 14th 2017
Volume 2 comes on sale March 20th 2018
The price is also currently set at $30 USD and almost $40 CAD. It seems to have gone up, so it could mean the volumes are bigger, they're increasing the price, or it's just a placeholder.

I love Erika.

>>17722235

There are 16 pieces for black and 16 for white when you play chess.

>>17722381
18 people on the island, minus Kinzo, and counting Shannon+Kanon as one person, lowering it to 16

>>17722381
Chess has 16 pieces on each side.

>>17722525
Do you feel so dumb?

>>17722525
Fuck I just realized you were baiting. I feel so dumb.

Fuck I just realized that the name Beatrice is actually a reference to the Divine Comedy.

Fuck I just realized that Battler means someone who fights, so his combat against Beatrice and Bernkastel makes sense.

Fuck I just realized that you can spell BATTLER with the first letter of 7 out of the 8 of the episodes.

Fuck I just realized that if you take the name BEATRICE, change a few letters, and add some more, it makes BERN A SHIT.

Fuck I just realized that Lambadelta means 34, just like Miyo in Miyo Takano.

Fuck I just realized that sea cat threads should be banned.

>>17722909
Same. I always, and I mean always, use sage.

>>17722921
So instead of trying to find new topics or discuss other stuff, or even fucking off, you prefer shitposting.
Your behaviour says a lot on the usual Umineko fan.

Stop trying to kill these threads with your shitposting.

Who else here think that Higurashi is still Ryukishi's best work?

>>17722914
Just a "what if".There's a new WTC coming out though, but not this year.

>>17722946
Aaaw, shucks. A serie of murders taking place in a cabin in the woods would be quite fun.

Actually, there are a lot of possible environnement to use for the When They Cry stories. A cabin in the woods, a ship stranded in the ocean, a school at night...

>>17722952
He already said it wasn't going to be closed off though.

>>17722905
Significantly less so before attention whores 1 @ 2, shitty edits, shitty neo-memes, and try hard bumping became the norm. Generals are always cancer, but I came here and there was still fun discussion some time ago. It's fucking retarded now and so are the posters. All pretentious, obnoxious, buttfuck retarded and gullible replying to every attention whore under the sun, and forcing either shitty memes or forced bumps. Every thread is the same. Stupid attention cunt comes in, retards reply to her, forced meme, spammed steam sprite edit, redundant lewd posting, "hey did you know there's a new wtc/when is the new wtc", janitor deletes every post.

>>17722959

No, John. You are the retards.

>>17722957
Oh. A shame, I love that claustrophobic feel when everything seems to trap the protagonists in.

>>17722966
Umineko is too complex, it comes off as pretentious, and even mock you for not reading it "the right way".

>>17722972
You know, I never felt this "pretentiousness" until I started lurking on these threads. I used to think it was just a good quite enjoyable story about love and mystery. I think the fanbase is to blame about that.

>>17722972
It is not a complex series, and the only pretentious thing about it is its absolutely retarded neo-fanbase and rosatrice revisionists.

>>17722982
I blame that scene with the goats. Every reader has his own way of enjoying a story, there's no right or wrong way. Some people will feel inspired to write after reading a story, others are just satisfied with what they had.
Using a strawman goat to tell readers that there's only one way to enjoy a murder mystery is just being pretentious.
It's like saying "my way is the right way"!

See what I mean? Of course, the fanbase is also terrible, but all the fanbases are really shitty the moment you start making your own opinion about things instead of just repeating what you hear.

>>17722997
You people take the goat scenes too personally and fail to understand what it has to do with things in-universe.

>>17723017
I'm sure you would take it personally if I wrote a story in which I said that the reader's mother is a whore.

>>17723023
Not really, because I'm not a fucking baby.

>>17722997
Nah, this fanbase is one of the comfiest. Try going to some yoi or snk thread and you will see what I mean. The pedos and the waifufags are an inevitability, but that aside I say it's a nice place to be. The pretentious posters just come as a funny entertainment for me, after all, who cares if they don't like how you think?

>>17723036
>yoi or snk
Sorry, what?

>The pretentious posters just come as a funny entertainment for me
I wish I was as easy-going as you. People like you, they see retards like DarkSydePhil being retarded, and they find it funny. I envy that.

>>17723040
No idea who that is. I prefer Markiplier and Jacksepticeye.

>>17723055
Simply put, he's a scrub. Just look on Youtube for "This is how you don't play", or "DSP tries it". You'll figure it out by yourself.

Some people find him entertaining because he's a retard, I always want to choke him. Same with markiplier.

>>17723067
This is getting little off topic so I'm just going to say take it easy and don't mind the others. You're the only one who has to decide how to keep enjoying something you like and not others.

>>17723086
NO
I'm almost enjoying my anger!

Soon.

>>17722997
>Using a strawman goat to tell readers that there's only one way to enjoy a murder mystery is just being pretentious.
I thought the goats represented people trying to turn the Rokkenjima massacre into a murder mystery and placing the blame on people instead of treating it like the tragedy it is.

>>17723040
yoi = yuri on ice
