None were boring. I'd say the first isn't my favorite but they were all great. Reading the 7th one, Minagoroshi-hen right now. Hanyuu only talks in the 6th one. She doesn't appear until the 7th one.

It's good I guess, not great though.
Far too heavy handed at times, it's quite obvious R07 was an amateur when he wrote it, Meakishi shows quite well as he got a bit better with time
I like it better than Umineko, overall 8/10.

Just finished the first episode, it was entertaining for sure.
I have no idea how you guys read so fast.

>None were boring.

Yeah, i enjoyed them, but i know a lot of people who found them boring, that why i said it.

It came out like.. 10 moths ago, and it's pretty short.

>I like it better than Umineko, overall 8/10.


Same here, i like Umineko, but despite the fact i already know Higurashi's plot, i'm enjoying this more lol.

It felt less a trainweck, really.

Onikakushi was the only chapter I would consider the slightest bit boring, and even that had better pacing than any Umineko episode. I really don't see how anyone could consider Watanagashi boring. It was flawlessly paced and hooked me more than any VN ever has, despite having already seen the anime.

Overall Higurashi is probably going to be one of my favorite VNs, though I can't say for sure until I've read the whole thing.

>>5003656
>It was flawlessly paced


Fucking this.

Umineko has shitty pacing, but Higurashi really flows really well.

i love the novels , when ever one come outs, i stop everything and read for 6+ hours, but with Umineko i might take a break in between, even though i like both i think huragahsi is only better because of mion, k1, and trolling takano

bump

It's better just for a reason:
Keiichi, one of the best main characters ever. He's just that fucking awesome.

>>5003709
>Higurashi really flows really well.
Now you aren't being serious, most higurashi novels have horrible pacing.

Why is Umineko so shitty compared to Higurashi?

I got turned off because of all the changes Mangagamer did (most of all the switch from nscripter as the main engine, as I'm on a mac). Might just wait for the other patch in progress.

I
ve only read Onikakushi, half of Watanagashi, and all of Meakashi. starting Tsumiboroshi now.

Meakashi made me baw.

>>5007804

I didn't find the pacing terrible, really.

Especially Kai and ep 3-4

bump

>>5007804
No, they have great pacing.

Tsumiboroshi was great, such suspense..

I agree OP. i fucking loved that chapter. the foreshadowing was amazing, the whole everyone was confused thing was perfect. and the last "tip" is just really awesome.

Higurashi so far seems to get better as it goes along. The only thing is that I played Umineko first, so the whole structure of it feels not so innovative as it might have if I played Higurashi first.

bump

I realized that the finale of Tatarigoroshi-hen and the whole Himatsubushi-hen in the anime practically didn't exist and Akasaka came kind of out of nowhere... but Meakashi made me understand why the anime sucked. She was such a good girl, she apologized, even... From her own wiewpoint and after seeing the anime, it brings up conflicting emotions, really.

Brb downloadan' Tsumihoroboshi.

>>5014490
I loved how they deleted the last chapter of Tsumihoroboshi where Keiichi comes into the town after falling from the bridge and is found and helped by the ISDF unit and because Ryukushi said it's a fucking improtant point, they said "alright, but we'll make it more interesting!" and replaced it with Satoko coming to the town afer escaping from Yamainu and seeing the fucking Banken killing fucking civilians. WHAT THE HELL IT WAS NEVER EVER EVEN STATED THAT IT HAPPENS THAT WAY. Also note that she came during night and strangely enough, they were just cleaning school with people in it.

>>5014490
>but Meakashi made me understand why the anime sucked. She was such a good girl, she apologized, even...


Meakashi was the one they raped the most for.. Shion is such a complex and sympathetic character, and they changed her into an evil stalker.

>>5014521
You mean Tatarigoroshi.

>>5014682
Well, the important part in Meakashi that Ryu talked about afterwards is in finding where did Shion take a wrong step. It was when she was found out stalking Oryou by Mion and instantly paralyzed her, while she perfectly knew what is she doing. She couldn't get out of it from that point onwards. I don't even remember that point in the anime.

Which goes well wit the overall theme. Everything gets fucked up whenever friends start doubting each other. And yeah, also the 'Hanyuu is responsible for everything' thingy.

I did not entirely understand Onikakushi, though. Where the heck did Mion get the syringe?

>>5014700
Yes, sorry.

>>5014721
What syringe? I sure as hell don't see any.

>>5014721
>Onikakushi
>Where the heck did Mion get the syringe?
It's not a syringe.

>>5014736
Well... I can understand that "We'll make you meet Tomitake's fate" can be halu'd from "We'll make you avoid Tomitake's fate", but him randomly imagining a syringe which has actually a great importance in the story afterwards is kind of strange, no?

Unless Hanyuu who is giving him the halucinations is making him halucinate exactly what she wants. TEE HAUU

>>5014721
>And yeah, also the 'Hanyuu is responsible for everything' thingy.

uh?

>>5014721
>I did not entirely understand Onikakushi, though. Where the heck did Mion get the syringe?

Never happened

>>5014789
Overall theme underlining the Higurashi VN's.

1) think about the way Hanyuu acts. Especially when Rika asks once whether it's alright for her to go around apologizing to people when it might as well actually be driving them all insane. Hanyuu moefaces and doesn't answer the question.
2) Read Rika's mother's journal in E4
3) Read saigoroshi, think about what is different there.
4) Read Umineko E6
5) ????
6) Profit! (If you are not a Hanyuufag)

>>5014813
Hanyuu isn't like you think she is!

>>5014813

I did, Hanyuu did nothing other trying to save Rika.
I don't remember her trying to kill the village, but i remember her being ready to die for the village.

Also, the whole Hanyuu=Fatherine is just bullshit, leaving alone the fact they look different Hanyuu is probably dead when Umineko take place.

>>5014831

So can anyone tell me what the fuck is going on in Tatarigoroshi?

Keiichi definitely kills Teppei this is supported by Oishi saying Teppei left that night.

Obviously, Takano/Yamainu took Teppei's body.

Now, why the fuck did everyone say he was there? I can imagine Rika would atleast try to stop the act or tell him in secret because she knows what happens when paranoia starts to hit.

>>5014846
>Obviously, Takano/Yamainu took Teppei's body.

Mion hided the body, just like she did with Rina in Rena's arc.

>Now, why the fuck did everyone say he was there? I can imagine Rika would atleast try to stop the act or tell him in secret because she knows what happens when paranoia starts to hit.

Mion and the others created an alibi for him because they understood what he was trying to do. (Satoshi did the same thing)

>>5014831
This can mean two things.
1) Siagoroshi is the world where Hanyuu did not die to her daughter. Therefore she died happy and also the succession of carriers never came to existence. Since she is very much the disease herself, she wants to exist. She wants Rika to kill her mother so that the syndrome comes to existence in this kakera as well.
2) Saigoroshi is the world where Rika's mother is somehow happy. Because she herself is the carrier and is cared about. That way, Rika killing her mother means killing everyone in the village. The syndrome is passive =/= the syndrome doesn't exist.

Both would lead to Hanyuu wanting to become a real concept of 'curse'. If she makes it perfect, she could very well become something godly like "Witch of Theatre". And by the way, Matsuribayashi is not a very happy ending for Takano.

Also,
>implying that Hanyuu can die, not being there and all, not seen by Okonogi, etc.

And yes, there is definitely a kind of bond between Hanyuu, Asumu and AuAu.

Nope, read Rei.
Hanyuu existed in that world too, Rika mom know her and they even spent time together.
But since this Hinamizawa was perfect she disappear in heaven.

Also, there is no queen parasite lol, do you really believe in Takano bullshit? Didn't you realize that in Shmion chapter, despite the fact that Rika dies, nothing happens to the village?

>>implying that Hanyuu can die, not being there and all, not seen by Okonogi, etc.

She does, she and Rika and her are connected, when Rika dies, she dies.

What a horrible writing. Anyway, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

If she would die when Rika dies, why is Keiichi being apologized to after Rika died? Not talking about Shion, she could really induce that herself.

Okay, I totally forgot that the queen parasite doesn't exist. That makes it even worse, because Hanyuu should know, but she just goes along with that.

>What a horrible writing. Anyway, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

...


>>5014950
>If she would die when Rika dies, why is Keiichi being apologized to after Rika died? Not talking about Shion, she could really induce that herself.

Keiichi was insane at that point, Rena saw "Oyashiro-sama" too, but it was just an illusion she created.

>Okay, I totally forgot that the queen parasite doesn't exist. That makes it even worse, because Hanyuu should know, but she just goes along with that.

The fuck? Hanyuu lived 1000 years ago.


Seriusly, saying Hanyuu is evil is the same that saying Rika is Bern.

Hanyuu did nothing other trying to save her friend after 1000 years of loneliness.

>>5014966

So EP7 will have a ghost Asumu which only piece Battler can see, giving him hints & clues?

No, you aren't.
Also, pic proves my point, thanks.
