Translation:
I am Ryuukishi07 of 07th Expansion.

Happy New Year.
Thank you for your e-mail.


I did not think that our "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" would be played even by all of you in foreign countries, and I am very surprised.
Also, I am deeply moved by the passion which drove you to translate a tale that long into English.

Thank you for loving "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" so much!

If by your English translation patch, English-speaking people can also enjoy this work, it would make me very pleased.

I believe I will warmly watch over your actions hereafter.
And I would appreciate it if you would continue to enjoy "Umineko no Naku Koro ni".
This is a bit of a digression.
I have known of your website, “THE WITCH HUNT”, for a short while.

I knew that you were carrying out an enthusiastic translation, and was very delighted.

Actually, in the new work that was only recently published, "Umineko no Naku Koro ni EP4 Alliance of the Golden Witch", there is a scene where a cultured college professor challenging the Legend of the Rokkenjima Witch calls himself a "Witch Hunter".

We borrowed this name out of respect for the name of your website, “THE WITCH HUNT”.

Please, I would appreciate it if you would tell this to everyone involved with your website.
Eastern and Western world-views mix together,
a world-view where reality and illusions are mixed together.


"Umineko no Naku Koro ni"

From the position as the writer, I also wish to enjoy it with everyone as I carry out my writing in the future.

Thank you very much for this e-mail.
I will try even harder so that I can continue to deliver this work to all of you!

How nice.

>Eastern and Western world-views mix together,
a world-view where reality and illusions are mixed together.
Sounds like a certain magical place.

How nice.

>Eastern and Western world-views mix together, a world-view where reality and illusions are mixed together.

>Ryuukishi07's a pretty nice guy

Then why hasn't he responded to my marriage proposal?

Seriously though that's pretty cool.

Such a nice guy. I wasn't interested at first but now I sort of want to check them out. Such a nice guy.

>>1880209
Fuck, everything I know of this universe is all collapsing together.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I dawww'd.

>>1880209
Him and Zun are old drinking buddies

We should make him a cake and send it to him.

>>1880214
This. I also dawww'd.

>We borrowed this name out of respect for the name of your website, “THE WITCH HUNT”.

haha, iirc some of battlers ideas of how the closed rooms were done in the beginning of ep3 were theories from 2chan

This letter has basically made it impossible for the Witch Hunt to ever stop translating the games. Thanks Ryuukishi.

>>1880262
Not that that was ever going to happen.

dawwwwwwwwww what a nice fella

It warms my heart when a japanese author gives their blessing to the people translating.

The same happened to the guys who were translating the Living with Monstergirl mangas.

>>1880179
fuck yeah Ryuukishi07!

>>1880220
If that's true, that's FUCKING AWESOME.

Wow. That's pretty damn awesome.

>>1880318
And True Remembrance

Cute.

I just started reading Umineko... Last night, and have been going through first episode through the night, taking breaks every now and then. It's morning now.
The story is really good, and I just got the part in the image. Now I feel really sad.

Really, Ryuukishi07 is awesome.

>>1880188

I'm really happy, he is so nice ;_; *GROUP HUG*

Do I have to play Higurashi before playing Umineko? Or is it enough that I watched the anime (both seaons)?

Is /jp/ translating this game, or are Umineko translators completely unrelated to /jp/?

>>1880343
the only connection to higuarshi is delicious Rika

Nice. This seems to be happening more and more as time goes on. The Japanese seem to be pay more attention to us gaijin these days.

>>1880343
Nah. Umineko isn't related to Higurashi, despite similar names. You'll do fine even without anime.

>>1880344
i believe all the people of witch hunt read /jp/, but it's not related

>>1880344
They browse /jp/ but that's it

>>1880357
it usually ends in either:
PIG DISGUSTING FOREIGNERS or FUCK YES YOU ARE THE COOLEST FOREIGNERS EVER

Gee, /jp/ sure is thoughtful today. :|

>>1880343

They're more or less unrelated, so feel free to jump right in to Umineko.

While we're on the subject, Higurashi has a similar Question/Answer arc type division, yes? And if I aquire the last episode in each respective arc it'll include all previous episodes, yes?

>>1880370
Yes that's right

>>1880188
>>1880193

I want to drink with this man. He'd be the most awesome drinking buddy in existence.

How can we return our appreciation?

>>1880394
By buying the game instead of pirating it.

>>1880394

Buy the games?

>>1880394
By actually buying at least one copy of Umineko

>>1880188
>>1880193
This is fantastic.

>>1880399
I don't want to give my money to shitty web stores that probably sell bootlegs. How can I order it directly from 07th Expansion?

>>1880411
Toranoana? But they don't ship overseas.

Wow, that's awesome.

Holy shitting Jesus, this is awesome.

FUCK YEAH

>>1880411

Go to Ryu's house and hand him cash, then wait a few minutes for him to burn you a disc. Process might talk longer if you arrive in the middle of the day when he's normally asleep.

I wonder how other visual novel makers feel about their works being translated into english.

Anybody know where Umineko's save files are located? I need to transfer stuff away from my laptop.

Also, fuck yeah. Ryuukishi is awesome.

>>1880445
If he's like ZUN, bring a pack of beer in lieu of cash.

>>1880498
In your Application data

/jp/ is gay for Ryu now

>>1880516
Thanks man.

>>1880526
RyuukishiXZUN Doujins where?

>>1880399

FFF....Thats actually exactly what came to mind when I thought "This guy is awesome,I should be buying his shit instead of pirating it. Just like with the Rocky movies."

But just like the Rocky movies I have no spare money to spend on it. ;_;

This actually explains why each previous chapter is included in the new ones,he's just a nice non-money hogging guy.

Fuck Ryuukishi,stop being so god damn awesome. You're making me feel like an asshole...

>>1880411
What? Places like Paletweb wouldn't sell bootlegs.

Did Ryukishi07 thank Geneon or Yen+?

>>1880706
Unlike them, Witch Hunt isn't doing it for money.

>>1880706
No he didn't

As nice as Dragonrider07 is, you guys are forgetting that he is rolling in money right now. The higurashi franchise had a hand in every type of media possible (Manga, Anime, PS2, DS, Live action, Novel etc.) and Umineko is heading the same route. Of course he would like his games spread popularity in foreign areas.

>>1880729
>Dragonrider07
More like Dragonknight.

>>1880729
It doesn't matter much because the franchise itself won't break through the western market.
Higurashi barely made it with the manga and the anime, but the game is certainly not going to be translated any time soon (be it original or PS2, except the futagotachi going on their own pace for Onikakushi).

and considering how Ryukishi keeps his usual doujin stance, it is rather the joy as an author than real market opportunity.

>>1880811
And he's not a stupid man. He probably knows how difficult getting doujin goods outside of Japan is, and therefore realizes that the majority of people playing the translation are pirating the game.

>>1880220
He's good friends with Jun Maeda by now, Touhou fags are out of the circle.

Ryuukishi07, you deserve a brofist.

>>1880822
Fuck yeah, he's part of Key staff now.

>>1880860
I like the fact that he's involved in writing the scenario of the next Key game. I'd love to see a Key game where the cast goes crazy and they all die in the end.

>>1881097
I guess you're mistaking Ryukishi07 for Yoshiyuki Tomino.

Higurashi have a good end BTW.

>>1881123
Technically.

...Wait wut? Since when has there been an Umineko translation project? I thought you faggots discussing it here just moonspeakers.

>>1881190
It started not too long after Episode 1 came out I think.

>>1881190
How did you manage to miss the literally thousands of threads featuring screenshots of the translation?

>>1881247
People shop VN images all the time to put English in them. I thought nothing of it.

>>1881313
Not really. Most of them are real translations.

>>1880318
>The same happened to the guys who were translating the Living with Monstergirl mangas.
I imagined them sending this sort of letter. Amusing.

>>1881097
It's called Clannad, faggot, HAVE YOU FINISHED IT? Your wife DIES, your daughter DIES, then you have a little dream about what it'd be like if they were both alive. Isn't that depressing enough as it is?!

>>1881572
It seems you never finished the game before.

>>1881572
I've never played any Key VNs or seen their anime adaptations beyond an episode or two as they seemed very uninteresting.

How do they die in Clannad though? Are they horribly dismembered?

>>1881572
>then you have a little dream about what it'd be like if they were both alive.

You shut your filthy whore mouth.

>>1881587
>seemed very uninteresting.

>How do they die in Clannad though? Are they horribly dismembered?

No dude, Clannad is not hardcore enough for you xD

>>1881610
I'll stay away then. Thanks for the tip.

>>1881587
>seen their anime adaptations beyond an episode or two

Those are all horrible. At least finish Clannad visual novel first before bashing Key characters in every fucking Ryuukishi07 & Key thread that you see. It really is good if you just give it a chance.

>>1881587
This, my friends, is what happens when teenagers starts playing visual novels.

What a failure.

>>1881650
Key adaptations are actually pretty good.

No need to force the kid to play Clannad, as he already stated he's too hardcore for it lol.

>>1881654
From what I've seen, all Key female characters can be divided into retarded moeblobs and belligerent tsunderes. Why would I play a character-driven VN if I don't like any of the characters?

>>1881675
I've heard bad things about the Air anime. True or false?

>>1881684
They didn't have enough episodes to work with

>>1881684
Watch it and judge for yourself. Not like you've got anything else better to do.

>>1881684
Series is good, movie not so. That is, it's good as is, I have no idea how it relates to the game.

>>1881691
So more of a pacing problem and a lack of resolution in some parts than any terribleness of the anime itself. Maybe I'll catch that later.

>>1881696
Watching all of Kanon now that I finished Clannad and got caught up on the After Story.

Let me just say, I prefer Clannad of the two.

>>1881696
Nah, I will wait for the game.

>>1881682
>From what I've seen

>I've never played any Key VNs or seen their anime adaptations

Theres your problem; You haven't seen anything. Why don't you try judging things after you give them a fair go, eh?

>>1881710
>Why don't you try judging things after you give them a fair go, eh?
>/jp/

Oh you...

>>1881650
>Those are all horrible.

lol you're just upset because you don't want little kids to learn about your favorite game by watching an animu.

>>1881710
Except that, as I said in the part of that post you cut out, I've watched the first two episodes of Kanon and Clannad and didn't find them interesting. Why would I keep watching something I didn't enjoy?

>>1881682
First of all you're a stupid shit for trolling something you never even got enough information about. This alone shows how much of a whinny bitch you are.

Second, I don't care if you're playing Clannad or not. Stay with your oh so hardcore visual novels and all your prejudice bullshit forever for all I care.

Now go back to your trolling dictionaries and amuse me more with your intuitive comments.

>>1881718
Nobody is asking you to enjoy anything, just stop commenting about things you have no idea because it makes you look stupid.

>>1881684
Let me guess, you've heard it from /a/ amirite?

Air adaptation is great all around and the end makes you BAWWWW like a bitch, but if you're a hardcore dude like nipaa you might not enjoy the show.

Man, you are such a troll. I am going to keep replying to your troll posts, that'll show you.

>>1881706

I actually liked the movie more, despite the deviations in the plot. Had a more artful feel to it and also more focused in scope.

>>1881730
If all the characters in Key visual novels had Stands then I'd probably play them. They should include some in the next VN they make.

>>1881313
Yeah sure, people will post fake translation for like 4 months or so...

Anon is known to be quite a troll, but that is quite too much efforts.
Just google uminko + patch, and you will see by yourself, sonny.

Just to check, having just completed episode 1, I feel I have to ask: Umineko is a kinetic novel right? There's nothing I should be doing in this is there? I only ask because I'm not used to my VN's having BAD ENDS and NOTHING ELSE.

I assume that the end will have a good end somewhere along the line. Well, my Episode 3 download just finished, so I guess I'll just have to find out.

As for buying, I think I'd wait until
a) The Translation was Finished and...
b) A version with all the episodes is released.

>>1882061
the "game" part is basically trying to figure out how everything fits together before the last episode spells it out for you.

>>1882088
Just like every other mystery novel.

>>1882096
actually some of them spell it out directly and then the mystery's about how the protagonist's gonna unravel everything.

>>1882061
> b) A version with all the episodes is released.
Question arcs was fixed as a product.
EP5 will be a different product.

>>1882096

Now I get it. Thanks. I heard reference to Higurashi's Question and Answer arcs but didn't understand what that meant until now.
So how is Umineko comprised? Is it two Question and Answer arcs like before, or is the compisition different.

Or do we just not know at this stage?

>>1882125
Ryukishi stated he will do 7-8 arcs.
There are for the moment 4 questions arcs right now, and the next episode will be an answer arc.
Considering how Umineko is, we will probably get 4 answers arcs

You can buy episode 4 with confidence.

>>1880399
Way ahead of you, Umineko 4 should arrive soon.

A guy from Witch Hunt made an article about that, and he became completely nutso.

Well, not like we can blame him for that

>>1880188 I believe I will warmly watch
while the girls are preparing

>>1882449
Is the "warmly watch" thing actually a Japanese idiom? Or did ZUN intentionally write it to make it sound like the audience is getting an erection "while girls are preparing" for the lulz?

>>1882449
Translators do their best and are now preparing, please watch warmly until they ready.

>>1882462
It's actually a figure of speech, yeah.

>>1882462
ZUN? I guess you are the one who got drunk?

>>1880179
...Okonogi...? What the hell?

>>1881572
IT'S NOT A DREAM. THE LIGHTS OF HOPE OF EVERYONE IN THE TOWN SAVE HER.

Final End. Beautiful dream.

>>1882723
You forgot EP2?
George has learnt about tea from him.

>>1882952
I didn't expect him to show up literaly. I mean, like a mere easter egg, something similar to Battler mentioning Higurashi twice.

OK where do I buy this game?

>>1882989
holy shit, it is already sold out on Himeyashop.

You better check paletweb quickly (shit is slow to load right now), or you are good to wait for ages.

I will never make fun of his art again.

so what's the guarantee that the mail's actually from Ryuukishi07?

>>1882989
Palet Web
http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=80000409
Himeya
http://www.himeyashop.com/product_info.php/products_id/11978

But both are now sold out.
(Actually most of Japanese shops are same too. Next arriving is on 15-18th of this month.)

>>1882989
http://www.himeyashop.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=umineko
http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=80000409

>>1883038
Probably got something to do with the fact it's him they wrote to.

>>1883072
so why did they write to him in the first place?

>>1883084
Because he is a pretty nice guy

>>1883084
did you even read the letter?

to ask permission for the translation

>>1883084
To get his support. Mainly because they hope he'll clear up some ambiguous terms for them. Multiple meanings are common in japanese, and since several aspects of Umineko (the witch's riddle and the red/blue texts, for example) depend on having precise meanings established, to translate it the right way you need either the concluded saga, which won't happen until the last episode is released in two years, or help from the writer.

So.... can we have our script back now that Ryuukishi has known how hard translators try to lick his ass ?

>>1883179
why do you need script while they don't even take more than 3 months for each episode?

And it isn't like they can do that now that he recognized them. To the contrary, the current situation might be trickier: any time they do a mistake, Ryukishi can shot them down (provided if they managed to do something very very wrong, which is very unlikely from their policies until now)

>>1883179
Dunno, but when the next patch is released you should ask someone to rip the text for you

>>1883191

shitty art.

Also, I want to print it out so I can read it like any book. Staring too long at the LCD makes my eyes hurt.

>>1883223
Are you an idiot?

You are about to miss godly music tracks.
And honestly, you will have such a "great" time to figure who is currently talking and how the characters are actually feeling without their expressions.

sad anon is sad.

>>1883223
VN don't work that way.

>>1883223
TURN YOUR FUCKING BACKLIGHT DOWN MAN

If this is true, why hasn't Witch Hunt updated their page?

>>1883336
http://witch-hunt.com/news.html

>>1883336
http://www.witch-hunt.com/news.html

Wat.

>>1883336
I wasn't aware that they didn't use the baka tsuki wiki page anymore

>>1883360
>>1883360
It seems chronotrig is taking care of the site, while klash is doing the wiki.
And since the later was taken offguard just like us, well not like he has the time to do something though he did updated the status of episode 3

>>1883336
Why haven't you bothered checking it?

>>1883389
probably talking about the wiki page

Wiki page has been updated as well

>>1883389
How do you have a 0.1% translation?

Is that classified as deciding to start the project?

>>1883492
refering to the fact that they're making a complete patch for ep3 that works with the ep4 game

bump

bump

So once their Episode 4 patch is out, can I delete 1&2, and 3.

>>1886156
pretty much

This guy makes me want to play his readan game.

>>1886190
You haven't?

>>1886206
I tried for a bit but then I stopped and never went back to it for some reason.

>>1886257

>>1883492
it means that they've installed the game

>>1886257

I want to finish Higurashi first for some reason.

>>1886488
Prepare for a long wait then.

On the bright side, Umineko will probably be done by then.

I hated the Higurashi anime for being a bunch of boring violence and not much else.

Is there any point to me playing Umineko?

>>1886534
You didn't seen much of Higurashi if that's what you think it is.

>>1886534
You didn't see much of Higurashi if that's what you think it is.

>>1886534
Check it yourself with the demo.

>>1886591
I watched up to around episode 14 or so, I think? The episode with the salaryman guy sitting at a bus station.

>>1886534

The Higurashi anime just summed things up while keeping a steady flow. It's not really the anime's fault. But i'll admit im one of those people that got into Higurashi BECAUSE of the anime's first story arc. Although because of watching the anime I can't bring myself to go through the Visual Novels.

Surprisingly though Umineko keeps up what I liked about the first part of Higurashi and further adds on to it. I honestly have to wonder how it will be adapted into an anime as most of its more interesting parts are Battlers/Other characters long thinking processes.

>>1886608
I found Higurashi to be dull. All it was, at least up to the point where I stopped watching, was "someone goes insane and kills people. Reset and repeat". A good mystery story gives something to work with so that by the time the big reveal comes around you should already have it figured out, or at least be hitting yourself for having not done so. Higurashi was just "unexplained violence lol".

>>1886620
All I can say is that you weren't paying much attention then; You were too busy focusing on people being killed to notice that with every arc, more details are given regarding everything.

>>1886631
The anime leaves out a lot of clues and details but there's still quite a bit. There's enough to where you should have a good idea what's going on by the end of season one. If you're totally clueless then you missed all the clues and hints. I really don't see how you could think it's random violence unless you skipped the parts where they were talking.

>>1886631
If it needs an entire episode at the end to infodump and explain things, it's not well-paced.

That's all I have to add to this discussion.

>>1886635
Okay, here's my impressions (going from memory):

First arc: Introduction to characters. Everyone is subtly creepy. Then not quite so subtly. Men in white van? BAD END.

Second arc: Demons? Shion dies but comes back somehow? BAD END.

Third arc: Satoko's uncle is an asshole. Everyone is still creepy. This is getting repetitive.

Fourth arc: Fuck it.

>>1886643
Seems you only notice something if it's treated like a big deal; Failure to take notice of the finer details. You would make a lousy detective.

>>1886637
What are you talking about? Details are given throughout the entire arc. Try actually paying attention for a change.

>>1886646
I notice things if they seem interesting. Not much in Higurashi was interesting.

>>1886651
Hmm, I'll add that the men in the white van were certainly interesting, but nothing was done with them.

>>1886651
Hmm, I'll add that the men in the white van were certainly interesting, but nothing was done with them. They were the only thing that couldn't be explained with "they're all nuts".

>>1886643
First arc you should already be questioning if what Keiichi saw was real. It was obvious that it was out of his mind at the end. Sane people don't claw their throughts out.

Second arc you should've been wondering if that was really Shion. Mion and Shion look alike. You learn a lot of about Watanagashi and in this arc and why Takano and Tomitake could be cursed. You should also be wondering if Rena really is evil like she was portrayed in the first arc.

Third arc probably has the biggest clue but it's kind of hidden. Even if you miss it, it's still obvious that Takano is suspicious as hell.

There's several more little clues and details but it'd be a pain to list them all.

>>1886659
The people in the white van are a very important part of the series but you don't learn the truth about them till way later. Until then it only gives you the occasional hint about them. The fourth arc goes more indepth with them.

>>1886662
What you should look for is events that happen in every world. Those are the ties that link them together. Takano and Tomitake are always killed and Takano's body is always burnt so badly that they needed to use dental records to confirm it's her.

and for christ sake, PAY ATTENTION TO RIKA in the fourth arc!
Her behaviour and what she says is fundamental for the rest of the damn story

>>1886707
I didn't get to see Rika in the fourth arc, just some boring faggot writing a report or something.

The big problem with Higurashi anime was, season 1 wasn't done right. DEEN tried to cram 6 arcs into 1 season. As a result, the main theme of each arc was lost and replaced with wtf killer lolis.

I'm reading the Onikakushi-hen novel translation right now and it is really good.

Now DEEN has learned their lesson (seeing how they did the last 2 arcs) so I expect they can pull off Umineko gracefully.

>>1886713
wut. She's in the first episode

Frankly it's impossible to understand Higurashi by the anime.

When you finish reading Watanagashi-hen and Tatarigoroshi-hen of the game or manga, you will realise what Higurahshi's "core" is.
Higurashi is very sad and touching story with some hair-raising scenes. And it sometimes becomes violent.
But anime reversed that priority.

>>1886643
too complicated for your troll?

First arc: some evidences that something is wrong pas the "olol 2 gals going all batshit".

Second arc: curse unveiled. Why Takano and Tommy got killed. Also another side of Rena which question her performance in first arc.

Third arc: shows pretty well that keiichi goes all paranoid. Mion confirms that the Sonozaki are not behind the crimes, yet helped Keiichi (wonder how teppei's corpse was moved?)
And finally, what happens to Rika and the huge aftermath

Fourth arc: a gigantic clue concerning the men of the white van, Rika and some stuff behind the gas incident.


Do you need us to spell everything for you or what? honestly, it looks like it would be better if a moron like you stop right there, but I rather rage at your ridiculous inability to pick clues and claiming "lolz, only violence, no clues, boring".

>Mion confirms that the Sonozaki are not behind the crimes

Then either gets killed by another Sonozaki or IS the killer. I don't think you can really trust anything either Shmion says in this arc.

> I'm reading the Onikakushi-hen novel translation right now and it is really good.
But Onikakushi-hen has been regarded as most well-done animated arc by fans.
Few fans complain to that, though some important things were lost.

The true "anime hell" began from Watanagashi-hen.

>>1886766
Watanagashi was... well "okay", though they certainly rushed through the whole deal too early.

The real atrocious adaptations were Tatarigoroshi and Tsumihoroboshi (and of course, the middle and end of meakashi ;_;)
Tatari was probably the biggest straw, as the chapter is barely recognizable from the themes originally used.

>calls himself a "Witch Hunter".

I already got that achievement in L4D

I was terribly disapppointed by Tatarigoroshi-hen and Meakashi-hen anime adaptation when I listened to the Drama CD.

I didn't even rage at Teppei during the Tatarigoroshi-hen arc but wanted to kill him myself when I heard it from the drama cd (would've too if I played the game). They managed to portray that feeling when K1 almost went nuts on Minagoroshi-hen anime regarding Satoko.

Anyway, I just hope they do Umineko properly this time. The four episodes can be distributed into 24-26 episodes if they do it right. Even the tea parties will make it through.

Congratulations, you just missed the best 2 story arcs in Higurashi

anybody knows if there is the same thread on 2ch?

>>1880318
Anyone have a link or copy of this?

>>1887642
What does "same thread" mean?
You just are searching Umineko thread on 2ch?

>>1887899
Just wondering if the elevens caught up with this news.
They did uploaded a video of the english patched game on niconico IIRC

They were talking about this several hours ago, in Umineko thread.
But actually it isn't a "news" for them.
"Gaijin sent an e-mail to Ryuukishi07, and Ryuukishi07 replied to it."
That's all.

They won't.
How the hell do you represent red and blue text in an anime? Or the Meta World in general?

>>1888367
That wouldn't be that difficult: they can simply makes the text appears onscreen, or simply blackscreen with the said text displaying.
