>art is infamously bad
>Higurashi anime is faithful
Are you being serious or are you shitposting?

Pretty much the only part that I didn't find superior in the anime was the schoolhouse roof fight.

>>2901394
>Higurashi
>kinetic novel
lol
Also, the art has wrapped around bad into to awesome.

>>2901400
OP here. Like I said, this is all second hand information. I personally have not seen any version of Higurashi. I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

>>2901403
Higurashi doesn't have choices, so yeah the OP right, it's a kinetic novel (well, they call it a sound novel, but that's their excuse for so bad it's good art).

Anime is superior to VN OP. It's a RARE case, but that's how it is here.

>>2901407
So you're misinformed. Wait for MangaGamer's Higurashi translations if you're patient enough or grab the fan translated Onikakushi-hen. If you can Moon then go ahead and do whatever you like.

>>2901410
I know it's technically right, but the term is stupid.

>kinetic novel

>>2901422
>>>grab the fan translated Onikakushi-hen. If you can Moon then go ahead and do whatever you like.

Yeah you lost me from there on.

>>2901421
Nice trolling bro

>>2901424
HUR F DUR P I R NOT LIEK DAS NAEM FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

>>2901410
Kinetic novel is Key's trademark, nobody can call their VNs that but them.

>>2901424
It's technically correct, the best KIND of correct.

>>Key
Now, FUCK the Higurashi anime, but Key's anime adaptations are awesome. I have a fondness for Air's in particular.

>>2901438
This. It's actually the same with sound novel though, I'm pretty sure Chunsoft has the term trademarked.

>>2901438
Wrong, it's a term created by Key's publisher.

>>2901439
...well ...fuck.

Kinetic Novel is a label only Key uses.
Sound Novel or Visual Novel is what the rest of the world uses.

The only company of note under VA is Key.

>Key's anime adaptations are awesome.
Indeed.

>I have a fondness for Air's
のヮの

>>2901467
And what's wrong with the Air anime?

>Key's anime adaptations are awesome.

>>2901463
When was notability being discussed?

>>2901470
Everything. It was a huge borefest. I fell asleep more times than I can count while watching it. But that's okay, you are entitled to your opinions and there's nothing wrong with that, bro.

>>2901490
Ah, the "Makoto Shinkai" syndrome. Fair enough.

>>2901501
Hey now, Shinkai's stuff isn't boring.

>>2901512
Oh don't get me wrong, I watched all three movies. They're excellent. But they DRAIN my energy.

So I should wait for the official VN releases = thread?

>>2901517
So it's a "It's good, but I need to walk around while I watch it" kind of thing?

>>2901513
Things you could do:
1) Read what's been translated by fans
2) Wait for official translation
3) Use something like AGTH/ATLAS (+dict) to read it. (Going to want an understanding of japanese grammar to do this).
4) Watch the anime anyway and read the VN when translation comes out. It can still be entertaining, but don't expect an accurate portrayal of the VN.

>>2901517
Fair enough. It helps that I get a huge kick out of scenery porn and bittersweet endings.

That reminds me, I need to read that manga about a shopping trip to Yokohama.

buy it when mangagamer puts it out

>>2901530
I'll probably do 4). Thanks then.

>>2901479
What's so bad about Key anime adaptions? Clannad in particular was probably on par with the VN.

>>2901547
you have to see the anime, its so bad its good

>>2901557
There is nothing wrong with Key's anime adaptations except Kanon 2002. Most of the hate comes from butthurt over the route chosen.

Others complain about pacing, but all of them are about as slow and boring as the source material.

>>2901586
Fascinating.
