that's not too long.

i wonder what the next project for ryu is going to be

1) 8 arcs, 4 question and 4 answer

2) question arcs are 1-2-3-4, answer arcs are (not out yet) 5-6-7-8, the latters will be called Chiru

3) the average time is 1- 8 hours, 2- 8 hours, 3- 12 hours, 4- 16 hours

>>2929295

>>2929304
>4 answer
Enjoy your non-answers.

>1) How many EPs and arcs are there going to be? Is there a definite time schedule?
8 EPs, 4 Question, 4 Answer. One per Comiket and we're starting the Answer arcs now, so you're looking at a couple of years.

>2) While I was reading the wiki site, it mentions that there's an answer arc (The Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru/うみねこのなく頃に散). Is this included in EP4? Has it even been released yet?
First answer arc (EP5) comes out during the next Comiket.

>3) How much time did it take you to read up to EP 4? I was originally going to run through the entire thing within one day so I could watch the anime without getting spoiled, but the pacing was pretty slow at times to keep me glued to the screen.
4-5hours. It starts off slowly enough with the flashbacks but really picks up pace once the murders kick in.

Also, I'd recommend avoiding browsing /jp/ until you complete it, unless you like spoilers.

I'm just calling them that because Ryukishi called them that. I don't expect explanations either.

answer arcs = beato time arcs

>>2929314
Did he? I assumed everybody decided that since that's what he did with Higurashi.

>>2929311
you read episodes 1-2-3 in 4-5 hours?

>>2929330
I think he misread the question, thinking it was asking how long it took for Episode 4 to get good.

>>2929328
Well, calling them scatter arcs or whatever sounds retarded.

1. 7 or 8. One's released every August and December.
2. No, that's episode 5. It doesn't come out until August 15th
3. I don't know. I didn't keep track. Episode 4 is by far the longest though.

Since we're on the topic, does anyone have a link to all the episodes?

People who don't read the provided documentation.

>>2929439
Sue me, usually the translating groups are such dickheaded faggots that readmes are either unreadable, useless, or plain fucking awful.
It took me a while to realize Witch Hunt is actually an awesome group.

>>2929475
Yeah, ignoring the fact that the translation runs on an older engine that has pre-existing documentation.

>>2929439
you also didn't read it
There's nothing about screenshot

>>2929551

You mention "Kinzo" twice yet don't even mention that "he's dead before October 4th every game board".

Therefore those scenes NEVER HAPPENED

Fine, fine, i'll add it the next time some newfag decides to post about Umineko while he's still not finished reading the entire thing.

>>2929575
Oh, I see. Why are you ruining the people that watches for the first time Umineko? Reading the VN is not a prerequisite, you know.

>>2929264
Each game is 16-20 hours worth of play, I doubt you can finish it in a day unless you're time lord. Any whats the rush? The longer you play the less time you have to wait for the new episodes.

>people that watches
wat.

The anime sucks so much compared to the game. They're taking out so fucking much.

>>2931300
I know. I can't believe they didn't have battler pick up that fertiliser for Kanon, shit was ridiculous.

>>2931300
>>2931325
Yes, they cut out the irrelevant and redundant shit to streamline the anime more. I see nothing wrong.

>>2931368
Needed three episodes of internal monologues.

>>2931368
I was trying to be sarcastic, sorry.

>>2929582
Because I fucking hate people who post here like this place is their blog and then complain when they get spoiled to death.

In each episode, a troll is added or discovered.

>>2931415
Come to think of it, when did Beato start her trolling? She seemed to be pretty serious in ep1.

>>2931456
She didn't exist then.

She was always a troll. Even if we go anti-mystery she was trolling in episode 1, but trolling to her is horrifyingly serious to normal people.

I guess that makes her a master troll.

Why did my favorite visual novel have to get so popular?

>>2931427
>>2931433
Good thing that after 2 episodes of the anime I still didn't memorize any of their names.

>>2931474

>>2931474
Why do you even care if other people like it?
