Get real.

I like the picture, but I don't understand why Shion's skirt is so long.

How does the AOU keep people from making babies, when even Jayden is so horny to the point that he'd happily fuck a boy?
Surely there must be tons of dick in pussy action going on.

i havent completed ep8 of umineko yet but this whole golden land and great library and siege pirate ship thing really wore me down. i found it completely disinteresting. the start of the episode was alright. I'm starting to somewhat enjoy it now when battler punched bern and lastendconductor played but i still feel a bit meh
anyone else had the same feeling?

It was the opposite for me, I breezed through Umineko in weeks because I really enjoyed it while Higurashi was an absolute chore to get through after the first chapter since like half the run time is slice of life shit and then boring horror stuff that doesn't actually matter in the end because you know everyone dies at the end of each chapter by the time Keiichi dies in Onikakushi.

I'm surprised to hear that there were people who thought this. I found it very fun to try and figure out the underlying mystery behind it all.
In Umineko there wasn't really anything to figure out, apart from what Beato is, and I didn't really care about her identity anyway. The main points of attraction to me there were the glimpses into the underlying lore elements with the Meta-World stuff.

>>36339851
>I found it very fun to try and figure out the underlying mystery behind it all.
The underlying mystery of Higurashi is just really shit though, it relies on a mysterious secret government group that isn't hinted at until they're introduced to solve the mystery and a magic plot-shaped parasite that might have been literally aliens. It's not a clever or fun mystery, it's basically just magic.
>In Umineko there wasn't really anything to figure out
Umineko has a bunch of things to figure out though, you're presented with a bunch of locked room murders and told facts of the matter and how to solve them and unlike Higurashi it's actually possible to figure them out before the end.

>>36339751
ww it took 9 months for me to complete umineko, in the same boat as you. I found it extremely interesting and blasted through the first 2 episodes within days. It's just so bloated at times. I know the story isnt really about the mystery and plot progression per say but instead the character development, their motive, RABU AND KOKORO, etc and how they interact with the story with the icing being "genius" and "logical" murders/mysteries to create a truly unique near masterpiece.
I managed to solve who the culprit was before episode 5 due to the massive hints in ep 3 and 4 as ryukishi constantly promotes you should think ahead and read inbetween the lines, then proceeds to slow the pace of the story to a grinding halt and repeat the same point 100 times in different context.

All i can say is, at least it made sense, i understood what ryukishi was going on about, it changed my view as its art, i experienced probably the best work of fiction, just a shame it took me 9 fucking months

>>36339891
>It's not a clever or fun mystery, it's basically just magic.
It was a let down, sure, but you wouldn't have known that before getting to the late chapters.
> you're presented with a bunch of locked room murders
Did anyone actually try to solve those?

>>36339927
>Did anyone actually try to solve those?
Anon…

I started reading Higurashi 2 years ago and I still haven't finish it due to the often lacks of time and the fact I already watched the anime and I do not always feel like reading it

>>36339942
Thanks.

>>36339927
>Did anyone actually try to solve those?
I don't want to be rude but are you retarded? How can you say Umineko doesn't have any mysteries to solve but Higurashi does before admitting that you didn't even try to solve the locked room murders of Umineko and then admitting that the "mystery" of Higurashi was disappointing and can only be solved when it's given to you in the later chapters.

>>36339927
yes you're supposed to solve them however it was extremely hard to do so on a blind/first playthrough no thanks to ryukishi being an egomaniac and doesnt provide what the boundaries are and then calls you dumb for not knowing the "howdunnit", at least the whodunnit and whydunnit was the one of the main focuses of the story.
Its blatantly obvious when the answer is infront of you like all murder mysteries, but making an attempt to solve is apart of the fun and having it being proven/denied too. I remember i spent til 4am trying to decipher the epitah. it was great fun

>>36339744

>>36339956
>How can you say Umineko doesn't have any mysteries to solve but Higurashi does before admitting that you didn't even try to solve the locked room murders of Umineko
The key issue here is that the closed room mysteries just look like a side note in the grand scheme of things and simply felt irrelevant and not even worth thinking about.

mesugaki maria

>>36339993
The murders were literally central to the main plot of the questions arc where it's Mystery vs Fantasy and Beatrice trying to prove that magic exists, how can you say they were irrelevant?
Feels like you just chose not to think about them and then retroactively decided that they somehow weren't important.

>>36339607
Poor little Rika.

>>36339965
>and doesnt provide what the boundaries are
A lot of the solutions are total bullshit, but to be fair by Episode 4 you've basically been given all of the boundaries. You know from Virgilia in Episode 3 that everything you see isn't necessarily the truth true and that there's a lot of unreliable narration going on, and then in Episode 4 with Ange it's hammered home explicitly that magic doesn't actually exist and it's all just cope. Those two things pretty much give you the answers to everything you need

>>36339607
Satokomashi-hen

>>36340009
The foundations that I had in place from the previous entries for approaching Umineko were as follows:
1. The supernatural exists as a fact, as evidence by Hanyuu, the Meta-Verse and Bernkastel's character.
2. Bernkastel also shows up in Umineko, together with the rest of the concepts associated with the Meta-World, which means that Umineko takes place in the same universe.
3. Since it's all taking place in the same universe, the same rules concerning the supernatural must also apply here.

Therefore the whole magic vs mystery argument and things related to it seemed completely meaningless to me from the start, except from the perspective of some arbitrary logic puzzle thing, which really didn't spark my interest at all.

>>36339745

>>36340085
Nice.

>>36339787
I was the same. I found the SoL scenes of e.g. Old Maid pretty dull and unfunny, and Keiichi's perspective particularly can be so exhausting. I liked the horror atmosphere but a lot of the comic relief wasn't funny or insightful enough to come off as much more than flab. Umineko felt a lot less bloated to me. Its digressions were generally relevant to character or theme and there wasn't much time wasted on 'fun' scenes with already-established characters. I think the only reason you'd find Umineko bloated is if you only cared about the plot or the 'mystery'. For example, I've seen people call Episode 5 filler, which is insane to me as it made my heart break for Natsuhi and I loved the detail it gave her character. I think it's those things that make Umineko feel more like a real novel.

>>36340078
So Lambda laughing at the solution like a Purupuru Pikopuyo decease didn’t tell you anything?

>>36340085
Hot

>>36340027
i agree with the virgilia thing but it was very late in the story so to speak. You are only given that hint, assuming 10 hours per ep, 20+ hours into the story and by that point, the whole story then becomes in contention as whether all the events was true or not.
Great for a die hard mystery fan, but knowing that the first murders in the shed was unreliable narration right from the get go really just saps a lot of motivation when how they did it isnt really important in my opinion for umineko, especially when you can already know who it was and loosely why they did it and just capped it off at that. "They did, heres why" - that has way more importance in the plot.
i think ryukishi even wrote that as a passage in umineko. metasplaining that mystery novels go on about who and why but never why and it really shows.

Reading Umineko first made me try to solve Higurashi in the same way. It took me until EP 6 to realize my mistake.

>>36340102
*go on about who and how but never why

>>36340078
Umineko literally pokes fun at all of that, there's literally a scene in Umi when Lambda laughs at the solution of Higurashi being a magic disease and says that the solution to the mysteries of Umineko are grounded in reality and are totally solveable, and then there's everything >>36340027 which outright tell you that magic doesn't exist and you need to find a way to solve Umi without magic.

>>36340078
None of these assumptions should have been used. The supernatural rules definitely don’t work the same. Umineko does have enough depth that you can ditch the supernatural entirely if you choose to, unlike Higurashi

>>36340109
How can you prove they're telling the truth

>>36340115
If you're not retarded it's pretty obvious, Battler applies the whole unreliable narration thing and Beatrice gets tripped up by it which proves that the events happened without magic, and then when Ange tries to kill her bullies in the real world with magic she's not able to - because magic doesn't exist. How did you go through all of this and still come out assuming that magic was real because Higurashi said so?

Guys it was magic.
Witches.
lol.

>MC's purpose is to prove magic isn't real
>since he is the MC, he must be able to win
>therefore magic isn't real
Even a retard like me could figure this out.

>>36340131
But humans can't use the red truth, so it's impossible to prove

>>36340149
Red truth doesn’t prove anything anyway.
It’s just another level of trickery.
Just use golden truth to get round it if you have to.

>>36340144
but he admitted magic was real in the answer arcs.

>>36340095
>>36340109
>Lambda
Seeing a supernatural entity laugh at a solution involving magic somehow didn't particularly inspire me to reevaluate my approach to the whole thing.

>>36340149
It's not about the red truth, it's the story directly telling you that Ange can't use magic in the real world and so maybe magic probably isn't real.

>>36340102
I wouldn't say it's that late, it's episode 3 out of 8 so relatively speaking it's still pretty early. And to be fair, unreliable narration probably should've been expected considering the whole setting is an homage to And Then There Were None which did the whole "doctor looks at a body and says they're dead when they're really not" thing. At the very least by the time you're at the answers arc it's totally possible to solve.

>>36340167
No he didn’t.
And if you can find a screenshot telling me that he did I will just deny it because that isn’t Battler. It’s just Tohya or Ikuko writing a story inside a story.

>>36340167
That doesn't matter. You don't read Umineko entirely in one sitting. And the fact that Battler fought to prove that magic isn't real in the question arcs is enough to prove that reasoning is possible.
For me at least

>>36340176
That's just Ange's interpretation and is never confirmed in the red truth. Moreover what we actually see is Ange destroying her magic friends after they don't kill her bullies. The story points out the problem with this logic multiple times i.e. humans can only use blue truth.

There is no magic in Higurashi.

>>36340185
then the one denying magic was also tohya/ikuko.

>>36340192
Higurashi is packed with magic.
Magic everywhere.
It’s the most magical.

There is no magic in Ciconia

>>36340202
They don’t outright deny it. They just sometimes do. Sometimes they don’t.

>>36340174
It wasn't just Lambda saying it, it was literally all of the events of the questions arc telling you that whether or not magic actually exists is totally up in the air. This old hag is literally introduced for the sole purpose of helping Battler (and by extension you) figure out that because magic occurs on screen doesn't actually mean magic happened.

>>36340188
>That's just Ange's interpretation and is never confirmed in the red truth.
Yes, that's the point. Magic is an internal thing to Ange and she isn't able to impact reality with it. Whether or not magic is actually real is totally up in the air but it heavily implies that it's not real, even if Ange seeing her magic friends is something that happens. That's the entire point of the scene. You don't need to be autistic about le red truth memes.

At least we can all agree that Ikuko is a terrible writer

>>36340208
All magic is brains in jars.

Everything in WTC is actually just brain in jars.

>>36340215
>You don't need to be autistic about le red truth memes.
No, I actually do, because the story is. You don't believe it's real because you don't want to believe it's real. You can just as easily argue the point of the scene is to guide you into your conclusion before picking it apart in the answer arcs (which it does by emphasising the problem with 'blue truth' interpretation via Erika).

>>36339764

>>36340180
you are only given 4 episodes to figure it out. the additional episodes are there for ryukishi to raugh at you for being dumb and needing hints. He really wanted to you to solve to before answer arcs.
But yeah, i dont read mystery novels so i couldnt predict any trickery except for the most blatant ones word for word battler saying there could be people with alternate personalities and in ep4 i think where natsuhi threw the baby off a cliff and the only people who knew about the incident were genji, kinzo and shannon. Genji cleaned up the mess, natsuhi too depressed and having doubts as to whether the baby lived and came back for revenge, kinzo too mad/busy being dead before the games. it wasnt enough to convict shannon immediately but it placed enough suspicion where if something did happen, shannon/kanon fits together and it would be plausible

>>36340240
>You don't believe it's real because you don't want to believe it's real
I literally said it's an unanswered question multiple times in that post, but I'll say it again just for emphasis. Whether or not magic exists is an unanswered question and there are multiple scenes, like the Ange scene, which imply that magic doesn't actually exist in reality. It doesn't confirm it, but the scenes serve their purpose for the reader so you don't have retards who are completely blindsided by the fact that magic may not exist because they went into it thinking that Higurashi's magic stuff mattered.

Can we conclude that Umineko was only truly enjoyable to long time mystery literature addicts?

>>36340306

>>36340210
The ones who published a novel that had Battler as Beatrice's opponent and a skeptic were also the ones who wrote him admitting later on that magic exists. Denying the latter would also mean denying the former. People's opinions can change, it's character development.

I don't have a screenshot but the words used were "magic exists" and he was wearing this expression. He said it towards either one of the Beatos or Ange.

How do I get a sister like enje

>>36340385

>>36340405
that's true too

>>36340405
that's what magic is in reality, it's cope.

>>36340297
You softened your stance then:
>tell you that magic doesn't exist and you need to find a way to solve Umi without magic.
Unless you're a different person.
>so you don't have retards who are completely blindsided by the fact that magic may not exist
If anything this worked too well given how many people rejected magic out of hand during the ending.

>>36340405
That's probably what Battler was referring to when he learned the truth.

>>36340412
>that's true too
thats the only thing i got

>>36340441
maybe next time pay attention?

>>36340284
Natsuhi didn’t know that Shannon knew about the baby, it was only about that she knows her favourite season

>>36340359
So he (meaning a fictional battler within a fictional story) says that magic exists. But sometimes he doesn’t and it’s not really character development because it’s all different fictional Battlers.
Unless you believe in the meta, in which case he’s probably magical himself or a product of some schizo delusion.
Battler never reliably admits magic is real.

>>36340441
I don’t think that’s true though.

>>36339733

>>36340417
No, the point of that post was that those particular scenes serve the purpose of telling you that Umineko can be solved without magic and so when Virgilia tells you about the Braun tube analogy the entire point is that you personally as the reader can find a way to solve the mysteries without magic, because at that point you're in Battler's mindset of denying the existence of magic.
I get that later the existence of magic is its own catbox and thematically Umi eventually embraces magic, but I wasn't speaking about the broader message of Umi - just that if you came into Umineko thinking that magic was 100% real because you read Higurashi and you just breezed past those scenes without any questions at all you're just retarded. Because Umi tries pretty hard to tell you that there are two solutions to all the mysteries and it's not just
>lol i saw hanyuu in higurashi so it means magic is real xD

>>36340502

>>36340531
Never.

>>36340470
How are you so literal-minded about this story? The point is made that you will always be able to find a reason why magic doesn't exist, but in Dlanor's words, even if you have 84 points of reasoning as why magic doesn't exist, you can never disprove the 6 points as to why it is.
>>36340502
Fair enough then. But I think it's perfectly reasonable to approach Umineko with the assumption that the magic is real if you want to believe in it. That, more than whether magic exists or not, is the point.
>>36340526
bad reading comprehension

>>36340544
i'm agreeing with you retard

>>36340468
Unless im mistaken, genji asked natushi after she reported the incident if any one else knew, and natushi replied "shannon" and genji scuttled off to clean it up. The fact some characters know more about something than others places great suspicion regardless, especially if they arent seemingly directed related

That wasn't what the other guy was saying though, he said that there were no mysteries worth solving in Umineko because he just automatically assumed that magic absolutely exists because he saw Hanyuu in Higurashi, while Umineko goes to great lengths to try and establish that magic not existing is totally a possibility.

Since we've established that Keiichi was hallucinating Teppei after Satoko knocked him out and had her way with him, this scene must've been K1 cumming on her face. What a load.

Her plan to make Ooishi fully crazy and murderous I mean.

>>36340986
>(in everywhere).
FTFY

>>36340557
Because people vastly prefer drawing Satoko x Rika, obviously. Shit's everywhere.

>>36340991
>The Keiichi scene in Tataridamashi might be related to Ooishi, considering he had the bat.
I guess it'll get answered in a few days, but it's really confusing. Ooishi goes L5 after finding Keiichi and Teppei on the floor? Ooishi is the man that Keiichi fights, but Ooishi doesn't have bruises by the time he arrives to the festival, only a bloody bat? Does Satoko hide from Ooishi? Does Ooishi actually hit Keiichi instead of Satoko?

>>36340861
You're actually retarded and should really spare your parents the awful heartbreak and disappointment of having to see your moronic face every day by slitting your wrists. The topic wasn't "does magic exist", the topic was whether or not you should even try and solve the locked rooms because you assumed that magic already existed because the existence of Higurashi, which is clearly not how Umineko should be approached. Learn how to pick up on conversation context before pretending to be a human.

I want Hanyuu x Satoko. No reason.

>>36341042
>Ooishi is the man that Keiichi fights
K1 fought nobody. Satoko knocked him out from behind.

>>36341065
I don't.

>>36341024
Higurashi is more *popular* everywhere, but Umineko has comparable acclaim in the West, probably more so going by VNDB etc.

I read Umineko and only years later did I learn of Higurashi

>>36341067
>Keiichi just coincidentally saw Teppei and killed him with a bat in the exact way Satoko hit him with a bat, but in reality he didn't fight anyone
normally i'd say this sounds retarded but considering this is Sotsu we're talking about

>>36341057
Is there a point in solving the locked rooms if magic exists?

>>36341094
Who are you quoting?
And it's not a coincidence. How fucking dense can you be.
It would be far more retarded if he killed Ooishi in the exact same manner... followed by Ooishi walking around without a scratch on him.

>>36341098
yes

>>36341094
There's a surprised Keiichi with a film filter in the preview pictures. I guess he actually sees the dead Teppei there before getting hit by Satoko, which is how he hallucinates beating up Teppei.

>>36341098
It really depends whether you think that is a satisfactory way to deal with all those massive closed rooms that take up huge amounts of the story.
I think Ryukishi would imply that you are a goat if you do that. But if you believe in magic then yes you can just say ‘it was magic’.

>>36341094
I don’t know who you are quoting but I love it and I hope this happens.

>>36341078
No. Their success, domestic or abroad, isn't even comparable. Higurashi is so ridiculously far ahead.

Are Eua and lingering Hanyuu the same person?

The same person.
Not the same person.

>>36339733
Ange kissing JK Satoko while Rika or Mannon it both watch in pain

>>36341148
Need stats. Give stats.
A few months back some anon proved there were more Umineko images on Pixiv etc than Higurashi.
I bet Gou has changed that.

>>36341195
Nips are retards. What a fucking surprise.

>>36341195
I am betting on "not"

>>36341195
Ryukishi here.
They used to be the same and I said this in Umineko but I changed my mind for this latest cash grab series.

>>36340835

So uhh when is phase 2 coming out?

>>36341116
Not him, but the hallucination played the same way.

>>36341223
Thanks. Figured it out later but still, thanks.

>>36341226
Ryukishi here.
Find me a twink femboy and dress him up like Miyao and I'll consider it.

>>36341094
Keiichi didn't see anything. He just got knocked out by Satoko, then Satoko rolled around in the blood a little, and then Ooishi enters and imagines the scene we saw in Tataridamashi, picks up the bat from the floor, and goes to town at the festival.
The only thing that's still uncertain is why he blames Rika for everything, which they may or may not bother to explain.

>>36341202
Really, even after Rika outright called out fragment Hanyuu on her not saying auau?

>>36341199
Point me to the 6 mainstream TV anime seasons, 2 live action adaptations, 2 anime OVAs, 3 mobages, PC/PSP action games, and omnipresent pachinko machines of Umineko

Then we can start comparing it to Higurashi.

>>36341248
Ok, you got me, I was trolling.

>>36341248
I did find that odd.
I don’t know if it is relevant yet.

Nipaah

>>36341195
At least the majority got it right.

>>36341253
I love pachinko Umineko. Best sprites.

>>36341128
>But if you believe in magic then yes you can just say ‘it was magic’.
That isn't necessarily how it works.
It's just that it doesn't matter if the witch's claim about the murders having being committed with magic is true or not, as that doesn't affect the overall truth value of magic existing in the world.

always thought the word pachinko sounded spanish

>>36341253
not that anon, weren't you guys talking about acclaim in the west? Who praises Higurashi in the west for its pachinko machines?

Read up the reply chain. It was about how [red]Higurashi is his most successful franchise[/red] in Japan/everywhere.
If we were to talk only about its success in the west, then it's mostly down to anime. So Higurashi OG + Kai + Rei + Kira + Nekogoroshi + Outbreak + Gou + Sotsu ... vs the botched Umineko anime, lmao. VNs are such a minor niche they aren't even on the table. Manga is somewhere on the middle but I have no idea how big the global manga market is.

>>36341253
This is all Japan though.
>>36341148
>>36341375
You're conflating success with popularity, which is a necessary but not sufficient condition. More people watch anime than read VNs so of course more people are exposed to Higurashi so it's an inappropriate comparison. In the West, Umimeko sells fine and the consensus is often in its favour over Higurashi. I would consider it a success based on the fact that my impression of Umineko before touching anything 07th Expansion both from people I know and online reception was that Higurashi was a great horror/thriller story but Umineko was one of the best VNs ever made.

i want a box of berns

>>36341395
Yes.

>>36341375
The other anon literally said
>>36341078
>Higurashi is more *popular* everywhere, but Umineko has comparable acclaim in the West
I don't want to talk for him but he wasn't talking about Pachinko machines in Japan as a metric of acclaim in the west.

>>36341395
Isn’t this just the connections at the back of her high ankled shoes?

This episode hopefully will show the reasons for the rule changes in the beginning of Neko too.

Would Maria be autistic enough to ask Jessica if she has a hairy cunt, just out of curiosity because she saw that in a school book? Would Jessica get mad because she said something like that in front of all her cousins and Kanon-kun and now everyone is imagining her hairy teen pussy whether they want to or not?

>>36341463
fat cunt, loser, ice cubes,javascript, brocon, dead family.

Does Ange refuse to put ice cubes in her drink because it reminds her of that time when bullies destroyed her dignity?

>>36341496
No

>>36341472
If I do that I'm just going to meep thinking about it and wondering what happened until I cave and watch it anyway. I'd rather just complain about it in every thread until it finishes.

Peak irony. Your definition of success seems to be anecdotal notes along the lines of "i know people who like x better" yet you're blaming me of conflating success with popularity.

I look at the cold hard facts. Higurashi is a massive multimedia franchise on both on domestic and global markets. It's been worked on by countless game, animation and even live action studios. Umineko has none of that. It failed to grow beyond the low-budget vn/drama cd/manga/ranobe markets. Not to mention Higurashi had more domestic AND global success in those markets as well.

You know damn well Higurashi is his most successful franchise by far. You only need to internalize this fact. It doesn't detract anything from your precious favorite.

>>36341552
It's got to be some kind of mind virus. Every week I think something like "surely doing <evil thing> is too much even for Satoko, there's no way she would do that without regretting it" and then she does it anyway and I regret watching and consider dropping it. But then a couple days pass and I start getting my hopes up again. The last episode literally had the part of her that felt any kind of regret die and already the copium lobe of my brain is saying dumb things like "that part of her is dead the same way Ange's family was declared dead in red by Bern, she'll be back even if Eua killed her and will surely arrive just in time to make that one scene not as heartless as everyone thinks it will be" even though that's retarded and the writing is on the wall about what's happening next already.
I need a break. Satoko is warping my mind.

I won't even be watching the episode next week. I lost my emotional investment in Sotsu completely.

>>36341609
Because you *are* conflating success with popularity, like all salesfags. My definition of success is not contingent only on sales, but Umineko was not a success in Japan on any level, sales or otherwise. I have not denied that. What I am highlighting is not the difference in popularity between Umineko and Higurashi but the difference in the reception of Umineko in Japan vs. the West. The Japanese market is the only one that matters in reality (which is why you're talking about it), but you are kidding yourself if you don't think there is Western demand for Umineko material. The critical consensus has always been in its favour in the West and against it in Japan.

>>36341841
The best choice. I’m going to ride it out anyway.

Simple deduction from the question he asked. He entertained the possibility that tegakianon might hate him. Therefore, in his mind there exists a reason for tegakianon hating him. That reason is most likely valid. Plus he sounds like a whiny little bitch.
