Not being able to vote for both my favorite Umineko character and my favorite Higurashi character is the worst, sorry Ooishi...

ERIKANTRICE MANIFESTO IS COMPLETED

GUYS I HAVE A PROBLEM

the final part of my manifesto disappier without reason so i subtitute it with an old version that i found in one of my file
so pls if someone have an old file with the last chapter send it to me

http://www.07th-expansion.net/2012vote/2012vote.htm

I believe this was the last poll. Higanbana was complete, but RGD was only in its first season. Obviously, Mion won the Higurashi poll.

I still don't agree with the format. People will vote for their favorite Umineko/Higurashi character every day to prevent others from winning. This leaves the fate of the other series up to luck. Some random contrarian might vote for the fucking NURSE from Higanbana a couple times and have her win with a 75% percentage because only one other dude sacrificed an Umineko vote to vote for Midori. When literally three people vote for a series, the results are completely random. But how do you expect anyone to let RENA win just so they can give Meijiu some love?

Imagine not voting for Mio Ninagi's lewd underage prostitute ass

>>26097396
>Primavera onna-tachi that low
>Kumasawa's son that fucking high
>that dumb twat Midori in first place
>Ooishi that fucking low what the fuck

>>26097396
Damn Ooishi is lower than Akasaka, at least Rosa is in the Umineko poll's top 10

Is Mion even a real name?

>>26097528
I voted for her by dumping a creamy load inside her after a rough anal session

>>26097528
Is the Hinamizawa dialect really so fucking ugly to the ears or did those bitches just bully a talented slut into quitting using her dialect as an excuse?

>>26097674
dunno, but Mion gets Mioff

>>26097528
This still baffles me. She's too young to drink but she can get her smelly human arse fucked for a living in a sketchy illegal whorehouse run by the mafia.

I mean, it makes sense. Alcohol is bad for the body, but simply getting fucked doesn't cause irreversible damage.

>>26097729
She's an uneducated street rat, so she doesn't know how to clean her dirty room and can't elegantly flirt with customers without resorting to crude jokes. She deserves all the bullying and should be ashamed of herself. An educated whore is always more appealing than a potty-mouthed rat with no dignity.

>>26097058
Everyone in Umineko is fairly rated. Ooishi deserves more recognition.

>>26097396
The automatic translator translates Mion as "fascinating sound". It makes the comment section hilarious.

>>26097396
>"Saku: October 17th 23:09 I want Midori to graduate from elementary school safely, but the feeling that I want to stay in elementary school forever is alternating and it's hard. I love Midori Kusunoki, a dreaming elementary school student who can never grow up forever. Thank you for God's Moe"
Lmao

>>26098112
>so she doesn't know how to clean her dirty room and can't elegantly flirt with customers without resorting to crude jokes.
>a potty-mouthed rat with no dignity.
Hot..

Also, Stella can't clean her own room as well.

>>26098151
Ooishi deserves to be at the top of the Higu poll but my love for Rosa is stronger, I wonder if the "nice reward" will be exclusive to the overall most voted character or if the reward will be given to the most voted characters from each one of his works

>>26098522
Neither can Rika. Satoko had to clean the house before Akasaka stayed in by surprise.

>>26097393
>the final part of my manifesto disappier without reason
thank god

Quick poll: Ikuko = Yasu Y/N?

>>26098602
Dont bring up this stupid topic again.
Now fck off.

>>26097058
Ooishi is unironically the coolest and most likeable character in Higurashi. Every single scene he's in is delightful. He's an old cop that doesn't play by the rules, physically abuses teenagers to get info out of them and plays mahjong with his buddies before going out with prostitutes. And I love how his role changes from only ally in the world to nightmarish lawful evil villain depending on the protagonist's perspective.

>>26097396
>寒いので嘉音くん巻き込んで布団の中で湯たんぽにしたい(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3
I very much agree with this

>>26098602
They literally have different faces. This whole samefag business makes no sense unless they have the exact same face structure, which they clearly don't. And no, she's not getting plastic surgery just to fool the fucking readers.

>>26097396
How the actual heckerinos are they commenting as they vote?

>>26098112
Charles literally finds her bra hanging off some dusty furniture in the manga. She's a pig.

>>26098867
I agree, he's definetly my favorite Higu character, literally perfect in every chapter and a great comic relief too

>>26098867
It's crazy how Keiichi wishes him dead and calls him a fat fuck and an evil piece of shit, just because he's doing his job and he caught him red-handed. The frustration of being caught makes him perceive the cop as some irredeemable evil demon that is out to ruin him.

Being able to vote 3 times in a day with cellular data connection, my college's Internet and my home Internet.
Can we vote in different browsers, though? I wonder.

>>26099102
His theme in Himatsubushi is snazzy as fuck.

>>26098602
YES
SHE KNEW EPIGRAPH SOLUTION THAT ONLY YASU KNEW

>>26097393
Please lose the rest of it

>>26099305
Trash

>>26099305
Not really. Ryukishi constructed the epitaph in a way that, with the two first Episodes (the bottles message thrown by Yasu), anyone can solves.
I know someone that solves the epitaph at the end of Episode 2 with the Kabhi from Maria's name.

>>26099497
>Kabhi
Kanji*

>>26099497
NO ONE CAN SOLVE IT SINCE IT ISNT A RIDDLE BUT A REQUEST OF KINZO TO GENJI TO LET HIM SEE HIS DAGUTHER FOR THE LAST TIME BEFORE DIE

HOW YASU SOLVED IT?
WITH GENJI'S HELP

Is it worth getting your neck stabbed in the back after a one night stand with Zel?

>>26100015
>Imagine being those Chinese mafia bosses who got to fuck her loli ass..

>Imagine not cheating on her and being able to see this smile every morning.

>>26100015
WHY WOULD YOU SAVE A THUMBNAIL?

ah, my dick warmer/naizuri slave

>>26100323

>>26100015
>tfw her 1940s pussy is probably as hairy as the actual Rapunzel's even though she's barely 19
Lewd!

>>26100306
OK BATTLER

>>26100664
he's referring to her old boyfriend, not Battler.

>>26100015
I'd die satisfied knowing she'll spend eternity in Hell for committing murder, completely butt-naked, raped daily by Satan, struggling to breathe in the suffocating atmosphere of Hell.

my yakuza wife

>>26100758
YES HER OLD BOYFRIEND WHO BETRAYL HER BATTLER

Satoko's milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.

>>26101086
Are the Sonozakis actually criminals or is it just her father? Oryou disinherited her daughter for marrying a fucking yakuza after all.

>>26101186
They did a lot of disruptive and illegal stuff during the protests. Mion herself testified to trespassing and fucking up buildings. There's also the fact that they're leading a murder cult, but I guess that's not technically a crime except in timelines where all the lies finally catch up and force them to act on their horseshit, like Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi

>>26101131
I haven't actually finished Tatarigoroshi yet (the punishment games and the author's crossdressing fetish bore me) but seeing from how much people talk about it I guess it's a good arc.
Oh yeah and I already got spoiled on a lot of things (the evil looking woman who faked her death is actually evil???).

>>26100306
Erika romance would only work in a buddycop setting, where she learns to trust someone in a series of life-and-death situations. Without that, she'll always wonder when she'll be betrayed no matter how loyal her bf is.

>>26099539
Trash

ive voted 30 times for chloe ><

>>26101131
>took me 1500 seconds
I admit I was at a loss for a while there

>>26104880
True did you read episode 7 mangaonly?

>>26105023
T-Thirty times?! ><

Reminder that cheating makes you a big gay faggot

>>26105925
Tell that to the twitterfags who're gonna vote their favorite Umineko/Higurashi characters a hundred times.

>>26106037
they'll just take it as a compliment

>>26105337
Please explain what you are asking.

>>26106037
If they don't cheat, what's the problem?

>>26106121
in episode 7 Kinzo said that the epigraph was a method to ask to genji to make him see Yasu not a riddle.

so without Genji's help you cant solve it

>>26106123
You understand that there's less than a 100 days for this poll before anyone can vote a hundred times right? (unless they cheat of course.)

>>26106288
I assumed you were just exaggerating, sorry

>>26106479
Nope.
Cheating will happen and it will be way more than a hundred votes.

>>26106514
Still, you don't fight evil with evil

>>26105925
it's all in the name of guiding humanity down the right path, anon
if chloe doesn't win then she'll get scolded!!

>>26106223
Where did he say this? Can you show the text.

>>26106584
lol! That's cute.

No offense, I'm just doing my job anon.

>>26106584
miyao hands typed this post

>>26107368
Miyao's cute hands!???

>>26107745
i wonder what they feel like... ><

>>26101086
your wife is coming with me

Rosa looks uncomfortable

>>26108213
Oversized, mitten-like.. and soft. Like the hands of a puppet... whose strings have been cut.

Mariaは

She justは

It was only natural. She fell like a puppet with its strings cut. A blooming red rose spread under her broken skull. Then, as a very, very natural result, Rosa screamed at the heavens like an opera singer......... no, like a mama wolf.

"UUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH"

Rosaのvoiceless scream filled the cathedral. She readied her winchester rifle and loaded three .410 caliber bullets. The goats' huge bodies fell on top of each other like domino tiles......... no, like Mahjong tiles......... no, like bowling pins......... no, like chess pieces......... no, like......... *glass shatters*

Bernkastel and Lambdadelta had wry smiles on their faces as they pushed down the walls of peace. One of the walls fell and pierced a goat's medulla oblongata. The witches cackled and pushed the other wall, which crushed their fellow countrymen. This scene could be compared to a game of chess or shogi.

>>26108955
mion dindu nuffin

>>26109043
The job market is harsh on used-up old hags.

>>26108955
Mion actually had a history of violent crime, vandalism and blatant terrorism (not that surprising given her family situation, most of her relatives are yakuza thugs. there's even scientific evidence to suggest that the Sonozakis have the "demon blood" and are naturally more aggressive and immoral).
Pretty sad who people are willing to prop up as idols just because it fits their political agenda.

The mahjong scenes in Higurashi are hilarious because I don't understand a damn thing that's going on. It's such a clusterfuck of tiles, rules, terms and victory conditions, I can't help but laugh. Especially when all the character proudly announce their moves with conviction and somehow know what the fuck is going on.

Mahjong was a mistake. Chess is stressful and infuriating, only good for metaphors and cool factor. Shogi is where it's at.

>>26109563
Saikoroshi Shion is a fucking bully. How can she look the other way when Rika is getting bullied and even find it fun?

>>26109740
I'm glad Higurashi got me started wanting to actually learn Mahjong. Which led me to the real shit, Akagi and Saki. Then playing the PC in Yakuza, finally Tenhou.
Give it another try with those anime if you really want to get into it. It's not so complicated, and really fun.

>>26109876
That only proves Shion is predisposed to be a sadistic bitch even if she's the successor. Mion is probably playing board games at St. Lucia and getting bullied herself.

>>26109919
>Mion is probably playing board games at St. Lucia and getting bullied herself.
Mion wouldn't put up much resistance to being sissified, so I think she'd fit in well, but the idea of a mindbroken devout christian trad-Mion is still pretty sad.

What the fuck is this poll shit? Where is the Ciconia news?

>>26109876
Loli on loli humiliation is a pleasure for the eyes.

>>26110230
Phase 2 will be downloadable into your brain via neuralink. Boomers not allowed.

>>26110071
>Mion wouldn't put up much resistance to being sissified
what the fuck does 'sissifying' a woman mean

>>26109430

>>26110338
Making her act and dress like a proper lady. The normal Mion wears jeans, talks about her pubic hair in her very first scene and is kind of a tomboy.

>>26097528
Why do all characters with that name have big tits? The Mio from K-on's got massive bazoongas as well.

>>26097647
Why is Midori always called a dumb twat?

>>26098112
Isn't the whole point of whores to be as dirty and naughty as possible? Who the hell wants tasteful conversation from a literal prostitute?

>>26101131
Post it. You know the one.

>>26110537
I understand what you're trying to do here, mindblowing-dono, but it doesn't really work.

>>26110338
Sissification is pacification, passive-fication, making a person a willing avatar of archetypal femininity a sub-human creature existing only as an appendage of an archetypally masculine embodiment of will.
In terms of psychological development, women generally start off with a heavier reliance on the symbolic-passive, men start closer to the symbolic-active standpoint (exceptions exist, obviously): in school, girls try to superficially project, act out qualities like niceness and respect for authority, while boys stylize themselves as competitive and openly challenging the rules (note that in reality the boys aren't as rebellious as they pretend to be and the girls aren't as nice as they would like to believe of themselves). Most humans develop beyond this simple "acting out" of an archetypal story during puberty, they become more fully human through the confrontation with their shadow and achieve a first-order integration of feminine and masculine qualities.
Meaning that you can sissify anyone as long as they embody their sexuality (you can sissify a teenage boy or a milf-type character, but not a toddler or a grandma).

>>26106616
give me time soon i will make a nice image

>>26111588
Sissification of tomboys is a real thing.

>>26111619
Mion is a particularly good candidate for sissification because she has to try so hard to be active and formidable. She's naturally extremely nice, risk-averse, passive, but she knows that she'll have to learn to be a stronger person for her friends and as the future leader of the Sonozakis. What could be more satisfying than crushing that seed of self-determination and making her regress into a sub-human creature?

>>26110537
fuck off degenerate
TOmboys are the best girl and must be protected by you scum

>>26111619
>they become more fully human
Does this mean Midori-chan isn't fully human yet? Is this based or humiliated?

>ywn have princess Rethabile's disgusting brown arse all over your face
Why live?

>>26111908
It's lewd because she still thinks of herself as active (the heroine of the play, a human with agency), but it's all a lie - just like Shannon thinks she'll have a nice future with George even though part of her knows that can never happen.

How did Ryuukishi come up with his weird concept of witches? It's pretty unique for witches to be entirely magical beings, like genies, with no physical body and capable of doing multi-dimensional shit.

Normally witches are portrayed as normal humans who learn magic and can do stuff with it. Nothing about their nature changes.

This is who calls you names on discord.

>>26113242
i don't have discord

https://youtu.be/H67FyERmrAE

Why is the soundtrack so consistently good? Is it because the story calls for it?

I had no problem with the Ciconia OST. There was no place for any super epic tracks, so it makes sense that it's more relaxed in general.

>>26113242
Jesus Christ, this is a legit NPC without any conscious thoughts. Pher brain must be melted into mush.

>>26113242
>INFJ
lmao, look at this loser

>>26100306
Imagine cheating on her frequently but she is completely oblivious to the fact that you sleep around and is madly in love with and loyal to you. The mix of guilt and thrill would be ecstatic.

>>26113617
Everytime I see screenshots of Higurashi and Umineko in their original form I remember why I loved them so much. They just look so charming. Now I have no doubt they are Ryuukishi's magnum opus.

Being exposed to the increasingly bastardized, cheap-looking re-releases on the internet had slowly dilluted them in my mind and made me lose a bit of my love for them. I should probably avoid that shit as much as possible.

>>26113733
based soul crusher

>>26113242
This is old. A modern day Twitter zombie would add things like "BLM" or "MAPs don't interact!!!" on top of all that insane shit.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yDmtVi-q0w
I just remembered the kaleidoscope torture game is coming out tomorrow. Too bad it'll only be released on consoles.

I just love Rosa so much I really wish she were my mom, I'd praise her every day for working hard, I'd let her dress me up in all of the amazing outfits she designs, we would bake cookies together for Christmas and she'd give me a goodnight kiss on my forehead after we finish preparing snacks for Santa Claus

Please vote for her, she deserves it
https://www.07th-expansion.net/party/event.html

>>26113480
This is pretty good.

>>26114448
Sorry, I'm voting for a well-adjusted loli kiddo that makes Maria look like a retard in comparison. Yoko-chan a cute! A cute!

>>26114448
Voted for Erika, again.
It's time for a comeback of the intellectual rapist!

>>26114663
I've been voting Keropoyo the past three days, but you convinced me. I'll give Erika a boost for the rest of the week.

>>26114242
I'm not too hyped for it since I haven't been impressed much by any game that Ryukishi was involved in which wasn't with 07th expansion, like his route in rewrite and iwaihime

>>26114711
That's the spirit!

>>26114448
voted for chloe... again! ><

>>26113480
I just realized this is a combination of Duel of Rose and Leo's old battle theme. So fitting for such a good couple.

I always liked the European/Greek-sounding lyrics in many RGD songs, very fitting for Rose's ancestry. I really love her character, she's kinda like Mion because she develops in the background while all the other characters take the lead in each arc.

>>26114712
Iwaihime had a good number of fun scenes between the female leads and each of the short "question and answer arc"-duos was satisfying in its own way. If only the MC had been more memorable and the resolution less formulaic it could have easily been one of Ryukishi's better works.

Is there any version of the Umineko VN in Japanese which can be text hooked?

>>26114958
Yea, it's easy to sleep on Rose and just see her as the kind of perfect angel of justice and niceness most other characters see her as.

>>26115008
I'm pretty sure you can hook the original release, with or without mods.

>>26114958
More than duel of Rose, it sounds like this other Rose-related song
https://youtu.be/w3zkcOkYHjM

>>26114958
>that line
>this mofo came up with the cursed walls of peace

>>26114958
Rose should objectively rot in prison.

>>26111661
Is the proof of Erikantrice about to come?
Or will it be a shitty photoshop

>>26115094
>>26113480
What the fuck, /jp/ told me Rose guns days was shit!
This music tells me otherwise.

>that time RGD referenced the real life inspiration for the Ushiromiya chapel

>>26115357
Bro where have you been? The last couple of threads have been nothing but people raving about RGD

Big tiddy Satoko

>>26115357
Music spoilers are still spoilers. They are supposed to add to the experience seamlessly and be inevitably associated with a certain scene, not make you think "oh, it's this one I've been listening to in a loop before reading the VN".

Say hello to my wife, Rika or Bernkastel.

>>26115440
Don't send music from 7th games into a 7th thread!!!

>>26115127
Ciconia truly is RGD 2. They predicted the walls of peace, Kizuna and Blue Jayden on the moon. And then you have Miyao shitting on their ideals in the intro chapter.

>>26115708
Also this

>>26113480
The final opening is the best one 07thExpansion has ever produced.

>>26115450
Excuse me sir, that's the completely original character Takatori Fuhka from the not-hit visual novel TRianThology

>>26109043
Not only is Rosa a amazing and lovely person, she also has a perfect body, she really is the best I love her so much

>>26115293
That fucking face.

>>26115928
Oh, excuse me then.
They share a small resemblance if you ask me.

>>26113242
This reads like a fucking parody lmao. Is this freak for real?

>>26097396
Is there no way to see how many people voted in total or for any given character?

>>26116352
No.

>>26097396
How come the too characters get comments? Are only Japs allowed to comment or was that feature scrapped this time around?

>>26116907
I assume it was scrapped

>>26116907
>tfw no more praise for Midori-chan's elementaryschoolness
Why liverino?

There isn't is a translation for Iwaihime yet, is there?

>>26118024
There will never be one. Just learn the japans. Uuuuuuuoooooooooohhhhh!

>>26118147
>>>/y/ou+cant+learn+japanese

>>26118147
Learning japanese is a meme.

>>26115440
BASED
It's why I never tell anyone to listen to the Umineko OST despite praising it everyday

>>26118259
I can't imagine reading chapter 1 only after listening to System 0

>>26118259
Tell that to the discord trannies. They go around spoiling the biggest twist of Umineko to random people because they identify with Yasu, who isn't even a real tranny or an evil piece of shit like them.

Imagine being introduced to Umineko with such a massive spoiler.

>>26115440
This, I hate when I hear about someone playing a game for the first time and they say shit like "oh neat it's THIS song from the OST album". It fucks up the impact

>>26118296
Umineko music is pretty hype, though.
I got hooked on it because of this one.

Imagine being cursed with this kind of fanbase.

hohoho I made funny

I would violently rape Erika while I could never hurt Kanon. How could they be the same person ?

>>26118652
Better nice pedos than spiteful trannies.

>>26119144
How violently would you treat Erika and how nicely would you treat Kanon?

>>26119288
the hit song by Skrill-ex?

Of course a fucking brand new light novel was announced before news on Phase 2

>>26119075
It's funny how some of the codec calls in MGR, especially those talking about VR or Cyborgs and how they basically created a new paradigm in the military reminded me of Gauntlet Knights. It may not have been a proper MGS but you can still feel the Kojima touch here and there

Ciconia feels like something Neil Breen would write if he was actually good at that.

>>26119518
What Light Novel?

>>26119691
https://twitter.com/RanobeSugoi/status/1303732640420298752?s=20

I don't know if this happens to everyone who reads Higurashi and Umineko, but I was fooled twice by Ryukishi's "epilogue chapters".
Since the GHD isn't mentioned outside of Tatarigoroshi and Himatsubushi until Tsumihoroboshi's ending, I thought that Himatsubushi was just a continuation of Tatarigoroshi's world and the disaster was really somehow created by Keiichi's curse or some shit like that. The same goes for Umineko. I figured that Ange's story in chapter 4 was just the aftermatch of chapter 3 and just one fragment from many. So when chapter 5 ended with all of her family alive I actually became angry since there was no epilogue with a reunion, even though Ange's story ended just in the previous chapter. It took me until chapter 7 that I realised what we saw from Ange's perspective was the 'actual future' and not just some fragment.
Call me a fool, but Ryukishi always manages to trick me with the same methods.
I'm looking forward to being fooled even worse when phase 2 finally comes out.

>>26118379
>>26118296
That kind of thing messes with your brain.
In my case I read Higurashi and fell in love with Rika.
Then I listened to some Umineko OST among which Bern's character song seizensetsu. And I saw some false spoiler picture of Battler holding Bern's scythe.

The whole time I was thoroughly convinced Bern could do no wrong and was actually secretly a very good person. I made a mental note of every time the story made a point of how great at "acting" a villain Bern was.
Even though it didn't turn out like I thought it would, I still think Bern did no wrong and am completely on her side, and believe in the one truth.

what the fuck is this

>>26115127
I am pretty sure Ryukishi had an epiphany while writing this line, in RDG.

>>26119646
>>26120079
I'm going to keep on shilling this VN that was written by the same person working with Ryukishi on Ciconia, credited as director apparently.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imhs7t3RcDU
The first act is an emulation of Higurashi, the second is an attempt at creating a meta world like Umineko, and the third act has a lot of Ciconia type elements, and includes a twist I think may or may not happen in Ciconia.
It's no masterpiece and not nearly on the level of what it pays homage to, but it's pretty underrated and I think worth a read if you want more WTC type storytelling.

>>26119719
Well, it's nothing new then.
He's been writing it for a while.

>>26120518
Oh, my mistake then. Sorry.

>>26120079
Like how what we saw after the credits of Phase 1 might be a trailer of Phase 2.

>>26096934
Apparently Minagoroshi was supposed to end with a short scene where Hanyuu gets transfered to Hinamizawa school, but Ryu decided to leave it out, because the mood would have been ruined.

I think that ending would have been kino tho.
Does anybody have a source?

>>26120557
Nothing to feel sorry about, you can finally read it as a complete LN if you have interest in it and don't mind gory stuffs.
The ending should be extraordinarily strange as far as I know.

>>26120593
What, after the culprit reveal and everyone died? That would have totally killed the mood.
Would have been fine as a TIP though.

>>26120677
Must have been a Tip, like a reverse Devil's script that shows us a small glimpse of hope

>>26119719
The cover looks so good.

>>26120363
Not him but I think I'll read it after ciconia is finished. Wouldn't want to get spoiled and think "hey, so they had a similar idea in mind!"

>>26096934
Fun fact: Satoko and Satoshi weren't supposed to be siblings when Ryukishi was first writing Higurashi.
But he did it anyway so he had a chance to see Satoko suffer a lot more.

>>26120819
making satoko suffer from having a cringy loli asshole wasn't enough?
based! redpilled!

>>26120755
Guys, post your favorite 07th Exp. LN cover.

>>26120577
>what we saw after the credits of Phase 1 might be a trailer of Phase 2
That's literally how it was in RGD. 4 arcs only too.

>>26120363
>the world where shadow disappears
>shadow world
Is this like a hommage to Sonic the hedgehog or what?

>>26120870
absolute chad move by Ryukishi

Dumping the wisdom of an anon some threads ago to keep his memory alive.

If only Yasu was born later...

>>26120885
>that thigh tho
hnnnnnnnnnnnnng
Tomitake, you lucky bastard

>>26120948
>Sakutaro is Satoshi and he appears as a stuffed animal because he didn't give Satoko the teddy bear
NO WAY

>>26120885
how did tomohi's art style go from this

>>26120948
>George represents Ooishi (notice the yellow jacket)

>>26120953
This is a dude right? Its uncanny and interesting.

>>26121103
Of course this is a man. I took this webm from /biz/

>>26121064

Now that's a good trap. Hopefully she's got a dick and not an infected open wound pretending to be vagina.

Btw, estrogen causes cancer in males.

>>26121174
Maybe he doesn't try to make good art if he hates the characters

>>26121350
his/her Umineko art is either hit or miss

>>26121174
I love the way Tomohi add realistic details on theirs outfits.
Especially on Beatrice's dress, it looks better than the original that looks a bit cheap.

>>26120953
That's Shannon though.
Yasu will be crazy no matter what, as long as he has his crazy concoction of incest genes, occult /x/ autism and mystery fan autism.

>>26119518
>>26119719
Hmmm wasn't that written last year?
I believe it was for an App or something, maybe thats the physical release, so I don't think that has taken a lot of time out of Ciconia's Phase 2.

>>26121407
They wanted to make a more realistic art style for Umineko.
Their cover art of Episode 7 LN with Claire is beautiful.

>>26120897
The first premise is that humanity's shadows literally left their bodies to go live in their own world. With no real scientific explanation.

>>26120363
Oh I wasn't aware that this was a thing, I'll add this to my to read list, thx anon.

Disgusting whore.

>>26123378
Why do Japs hate digital preservation? I'd rather pay for a .png than get a thousand copies of the physical book for free. Physical media is a ticking time bomb.

>>26123914
Maybe my Japanese isn't good enough to find them. I may have to search on yahoo.jp

Everytime I see screenshots of Higurashi and Umineko in their original form I remember why I loved them so much. They just look so charming. Now I have no doubt they are Ryuukishi's magnum opus.

Being exposed to the increasingly bastardized, cheap-looking re-releases on the internet had slowly dilluted them in my mind and made me lose a bit of my love for them. I should probably avoid that shit as much as possible.

Mion was already scratching at her throat way before Oiishi started holding her down, as the full-length bodycam footage showed. She clearly died of Hinamizawa syndrome. Not murder.

I wonder which Higurashi would make the most talented prostitute. I'd say Rena.

>>26124289
Don't make it too obvious anon. ><

>>26124901
Sex with Rena!

>>26124457
she looks cuter the her daughter :)

>>26125050

>no kyute animal or fruit patterns
I find this unlikely.

>>26125050
Why does the backside of a human look so obscenely stupid?

>>26124901
Rika, obviously - the eternal loli whore is a literary archetype with a long tradition. Even Michael Ende has an ancient little girl prostitute in one of his short stories, I think it's either in "mirror in the mirror" or "prison of freedom".

>>26125204
are you not human

>>26125332
welcome to our tea party.

>>26125050
... would be hella awkward. Rena might be acting embarrassed, aroused, cutesy or whatever, but you'd have no idea how much, if any, of it was genuine. Think about it, inside her mind she might be rapidly calculating how to make it a good experience for you, and you'd never be able to tell.

>>26124264
Ononoki is Ciconia was so fun, especially on the fragments, I hope we see more of him, I wonder if he still has some relationship with Ciconia's Takano.

>>26125458
Does Rena realize that sex is always for humiliation? Why else would someone get anywhere near her ridiculous human body and objectively disgusting ass? It's a worthy sacrifice in order to see her most embarrassing secrets and mock her for being human.

Same reason poor people fish in the trash so they can eat. It's not because they like garbage.

>>26123914
I'd rather pay for physical media because its something I can touch and display in my house. Shit even increases in value and you can sell it later if you want. You can't do shit with that png on your computer. You can even scan physical media at resolutions higher than most digital versions that are available. Digital does excel at preservation, so both is ideal.

>>26120948
does this mean that kawabata in the boat was competing in a sniping contest while okonogi was in the helicopter?

>>26125771
Kawabata = Nanjo

>>26125759
I'm not interested in displaying anything, I just want an absolute guarantee that something I love is safe and I'll never have to mourn its disappearance. I trust an official PNG more that a random scan of my physical copy, which might be defective or not scan 100% perfectly.

>>26125788
But Nanjo is beatrice

>>26125926
Once you really think about what you're saying you realize you're kinda retarded

Does Naima still technically have an arse even if she's a brain in a jar?

>>26126350
Finding out that you are a brain in a jar must be horrifying. Everything you can experience with your five senses is an illusion created by the matrix and your real body is a simple brain in a jar, incapable of moving or interacting with anything except the matrix. You can't even know the true nature of the real world. If someone decided to destroy you, you'd be incapable of defending yourself. If someone decided to disconnect you from the matrix, you'd go insane trapped in your own mind without even the ability to kill yourself. If they decided to change the matrix into an experience of constant physical pain and horror, you'd be literally living in Hell. They could even reset your memories after each experience and make you relive the fear of being a kidnapping victim about to be brutally executed over and over again. Or make you relive the worst dentist visit imaginable for years on end. You'd be at their mercy no matter where you run inside the matrix. And there's also the possibility that all of human history is a lie created for this matrix and your captors in the real world are horrifying insectoid aliens. Humanity never existed in the first place. You are just the disembodied brain of some fucked up creature.

>>26126350
They'll put their brains in those blue organics automata bodies by the end of Phase 2. The rest of Ciconia will be the kids exploring the ruined earth IRL within those bodies, realizing that their whole lives were a fabrication or that they got factory'd before entering a matrix loop.

That fucking factory is the most horrifying place I've ever read about, straight out of the imagination of a deeply disturbed madman. Just imagine the scale, the complete darkness within that sea of machines that extends as far as the eye can see and several kilometers into the sky. A place so fucking huge you'd be falling for minutes before smashing against the ground. All controlled by an AI and insect-like machines in a dead planet where the only remaining life are those unfortunate enough to be the last generation of humans, being automatically processed by the cold, unfeeling machines.

What kind of fucked up illuminati sicko would envision such a future and scheme to make it happen?

>>26127012
You gotta go through Hell before reaching paradise and eternal life. If the AI is programmed to be just, this >>26126585 won't necessarily happen. They probably have technology to prevent the braincells from aging too, so it's literally eternal life.

Humans can't live in paradise without fucking it up somehow, so the world turned into shit anyway. I assume Toujirou is trying to make the AI bug out by causing wars inside the matrix, in the hopes that the machines will let the brains die and release them from that torturous existence.

Whether there is an afterlife or nothingness after death, it's still better than being trapped forever in a matrix managed by an AI, with no way to die or make it better. Death is a welcome release from a shitty existence as an immortal brain in a jar.

>>26120948
Those are literally my posts. It's not a repost, the post number matches. That's me. So how the hell did you get a (you) on the screenshot if you are not me?

Though of course, they go to their separate paths in a lot of ways too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi3eAjB_LcA

>>26127012
yukkuri comics already desensitized me to that shit

SHKANONTRICE FAGS DENY THIS

this part will not be officially included in my manifesto because I have no proof and it's just a conjecture but if it is confirmed then erika=kanon would be 100% sure.
this supposition of mine, stems from the fact that Claire in the 7th chapter of umineko said that if Battler came back a year later, the tragedy would not happen, but she didn't stop there she also said that another tragedy would happen but not at that level.
Claire literally destroys Shkanontrice with this statement, because Shannon won the duel in the 6th game and so if Battler hadn't come back she would have to leave with George not to commit another tragedy.
this statement makes me theorize that if Battler had come back a year later Yasu would have made the 5th or 6th game, she would have pretended to be Eika and would have made her plan against Natsuhi or Battler.
but I don't have any proof of this only a statement that denies shkanontrice but not enough to use as evidence for Erika=Kanon, anyway I hope this fact has interested you.

I hate the feeling of finishing a particularly long work, Umineko somewhat recently. It's that feeling of wanting more after having come so far and learning so much about the characters but knowing it's ended. Being so engrossed in the moment is so much better than the appreciation you have afterwards.

>>26128724
Indeed.

>>26133708
I dont mind spoiling characters in the op but, the ep 7 spoilers are so unnecessary..

>>26135113
i love Umineko ep9 Erikantrice Op

>>26135117
It's no worse than the new Higurashi OPs which always show Takano in her military uniform

>>26135139
The fact that this shitposting is the first response to new content fills me with despair.

>>26135113
Looks fine, but being honest here...I do preffer the original Saku opening.

>>26135218
Oh definitely. The new op doesn't even hold a candle to how beautiful that op was. Plus no blatant spoilers.
Sure there are some, but not as underhanded as the console openings. The songs are good though. Just too much spoilers on their visuals.

>>26135304
I'd also put it below the original PS3 port OPs. At least those had a ton of brand new assets to show off, and even their spoilers seemed less intense. This is about what I'd expect from a Higurashi port OP.

>>26135304
i mean... this boomers says it all.

>>26135419
Agree.
Well at least they didn't spoil the 'Saku parts'.
Just most of the important moments in the core novel.

Judging how Higurashi hou's new console op plays right before you even start and play the game, I strongly doubt that.

Only Saikoroshi, though. The other ones are not really interesting.

Meh, even if they don't add anything both extra stories present in Rei are a fun read, I keked really hard at the one with the Soul Brothers.

So. is Higurashi going to get another sprite set?

>>26138987
only if she sucks my dick first

>>26138987
why is it set up so that we can only vote once a day for the whole thing instead of once a day per series? it's going to seriously skew the votes for pretty much everything that's not Higurashi and Umineko.

>>26139503
Wow, you're literally the first one to ask that question!
I'm sure someone working at 7th expansion will now read your post and give you a fulfilling explanation.

>>26139503
Because the people that created the poll are dumb probably

>>26138987
just voted for the best mommy

wished we had rosatrice instead of evatrice

>>26139685
Can someone give me a rundown on the Rosatrice theory. What was the basis for it and how was it disproven? I know it was somewhat popular when the VN was still coming out.

>>26139685
Rosatrice is dumb because Rosa will never get the drive as strong as Eva's in attaining to be a 'witch'. In fact, she will never get the drive to be one because she hates witches.

>>26139685
Me too brother, me too

>>26139768

>she will never get the drive to be one because she hates witches
well, that's one of the reason why i like rosa-beatrice so much, the irony is too strong

>>26139784
>those corset and breasts
Mommy

>>26139577
Okay, sorry if that's a dumb question that's already been discussed in recent threads. I haven't been around much lately. I assume no explanation has been given then?

>>26140071
Imagine not voting for Zel.

>>26139768
It attempts to solve all the games without relying on different accomplices. The main culprit is Rosa, with George and Nanjo as accomplices. The closed room explanations are actually pretty solid for the most part, sometimes even aligning with the official ones just with different perpetrators. As a mystery explanation it's not bad. But the main issue I had with it stems from the lack of a compelling narrative and the motivations it presents. George's main motive is pretty much what you'd expect, carrying out the plans in order to free things up for him and Shannon. Nanjo is bribed with money to help pay for his granddaughter. But Rosa's motivation is that she inherited Shannon's feelings for Battler for some reason, interpreting the mental gymnastics in episode 7 as being between 2 people rather than one person talking to themself.

Is there still a point in reading Umineko if I already know that:

-Beatrice can change appearance
-There's a character with multiple personalities and they are probably Beatrice, Kanon, most likely Shannon and maybe some other character
-Most of the events from early episodes are irrelevant by the end

>>26141279
No, and since I hate people like you I advise you to kys

>>26141279
Yes because you are literally wrong about certain things lol. Just shut up, read it, and don't come back until you finish.

1st step: spoil to him everything, shannon=kanon + beatrice is a male
2nd step: tell to him that is still worth reading since umineko is not a mystery, tell him to skip mystery parts and care only about charaters story
3rd step: after reading the victim will never learn nothing about logC.
your victim will belive in shkanontrice without doubts since he doesnt know who to doubt

>>26141759
Can't believe I actually agreed with 25% of something you said

>>26141279
>Most of the events from early episodes are irrelevant by the end
this is objectively false. Umineko is one of those stories where you can't really 'spoil' it as the enjoyment isn't dependent on specific plot details. Even if you know the culprit it hardly changes beforehand it hardly changes anything, you'll see.

>>26141606
that is a pretty retarded take, ngl

Nah, it's ruined, you needed to read it in 2007, in Japanese, on Windows XP to get the Right Experience. That book you just bought? The translation is shit, the cover is ugly, the paper is low quality, you absolutely need to get the Right Edition.

If you're trying to entertain yourself, to have FUN, you can do it whatever way you want. You're the one reading, not some sperglord 1000 km away who has a very specific idea of how to do things. If you are enjoying it, then there is no need at all to brood over WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. If you aren't enjoying it, then go do something else!

yeah he's basically just a schizo troll, just ignore his posts

>>26142152
No. Only Japs know about it and they are subhumans with no respect for media preservation.

>>26142228
That is true. He is the pinnacle of hypocricy.
Just try to have a conversation with him and you'll feel superior on a human level within the first sentence of his reply.

Thanks anon to consider my theory the truth

You can only experience something unspoiled once, you can re-read it after knowing everything the times you want. Your comparisons are fucking stupid, sounds like you're trying too hard to justify having ruined the first (and most important) experience with the VN.

You're wrong.
Knowing about such gigantic spoilers beforehand *will* taint your reading experience. There's no way around it.
Umineko lives from its mysteries and the suspense you have while trying to solve them. If you already know the solution to most of them will make the reveal shallow.

good thing umineko doesn't actually reveal anything, making it impossible to spoil
