/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Through anime. Then I moved on to VN.

Shit's awesome.

visual novels are games?

>Ryukishi's awesome game

Oh you

Ryukishi
Ever since BT died, Umineko has been over.

>>5244122
I agree. Ryu07's wish to impress BT was probably the only thing that kept him back from all these trashy nonsensical plot elements he's coming out with now, like Jessitrice and Shkanon.

>>5244117
This.
And no, I'm not from /a/.

>>5244131
>Jessitrice and Shkanon.
Fanon interpretation?

Umineko 1-4 was good, 5-6 sucked.
Higurashi is way better.

Oh god, BT died?

I'm such a horrible person.

>>5244131
Considering that he died in Jule, Ryu should have already written most parts, if not all of ep 4 by that time.
Also:
>implying the shit is true

Maybe that's why Beatrice got overkilled at the end of Ep4.

btw, I've heard of the anime and got to the VN. Anime's a bit stupid, but could hold its own if it was an original series.

>>5244131
I think BT was ghost writing for him

Fuck you, 5 is the best so far, haven't read 6 though.

Could explain why there's so much crazy shit going on in Ep4.

Aw, BT...

>>5244149
I agree on that. I couldn't even finish 5th game.

About Auauau...

BT impressionism?

>>5244200
Why?

Who the fuck is BT?

>>5244224
Mystery was replaced by code geass level plot twists with kawaii techno witches talking stupid shit.
It's basicly: Angel Beats: the VN

5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 obviously.

Evidence of Marysue-ness coming from our little miss Erika?

On the other hand, it's ryukishi, so...

you can love it or hate it. Just love it.

>>5244242
I think it stopped being mystery around EP 3 or 4 though.

>>5244244
Not if it is in Rank.

Rank 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5

>>5244241
He was Ryuksihi's first customer and fan. He designed the program for the menus in Ryuksihi's games and he came up with the idea to give out the first game free when he started writing Higurashi. BT died last year and Ryukishi wrote a sad letter about it. Where have you been?

>>5244249
Umineko is still about mystery. R07 just thinks you should have worked it out by episode 3 or 4.

And then came our two twin trolls: Zepar and Furfur,
who apparently has some kind of shit over Jessie and George.

I never got who's the trap, though...

btw, VN FOREVER.

The seagulls wouldn't be the only ones crying, if BT heard about the current state of Umineko.

What current state?

Don't tell me....it's in hiatus?

>>5244267
Both of them. Or neither of them. Since Zepar and Furfur are the same demon.

Author's friend/lover/relative dies.
>I think happening X in author's work is about friend/lover/relative
>Character X in author's work must be based on friend/lover/relative
>The sad turn in author's work must be a reflection of the sadness the author feels over the loss of friend/lover/relative

>>5244279
No, the last episode is due in August. Then there might be an omake episode later.

>5 is the best so far

5-onwards fucking sucked. Instead of having a good mystery, we got a crappy romance shit, with battles with techno music to make it "cool".

5>6>3>1>4>2

>>5244285
He didn't said for sure that 7 will be the last.

>>5244297
He said something in an interview that pretty much confirmed it was.

>>5244285
>Will EP7 end the series?
>Who knows? Seven is a lucky number (laughs), and EP8 might become an omake episode, like an "Umineko no Naku Koro ni Rei". (laughs again)
>However, I think we will be giving out an extremely merciless answer in EP7.
Pay attention to the "who knows"

>>5244285
It hasn't been confirmed that episode 7 IS the last episode or not yet. All he really said was that "7 is a lucky number so we'll see what happens". We might still get an episode 8 as the last episode.

EPISODE 7 AUGUST?

>>5244249
Well whatever, I thought ep4 was about jokes and homages, with all that powerlevel, death flag stuff, but it never got back to being serious, so I don't really care anymore.
Trolling witches aren't for me, I've grown up of that /b/ shit

>>5244290
Well, I count my expressions from all aspects of it and the raw amount of pleasure I've got. If you want only a good mystery, go read Christie or something.

>>5244311
Yes, of course, Umineko and all its ridiculous Meta fiddle-faffle is below us. We only read serious mystery novels for serious mystery buffs such as ourselves.

>>5244326
Oh, sorry I don't like it. I hope you don't feel offended.

We already got a pure mystery episode in #1. Is everyone actually of the opinion that all the episodes should be this way? Stop bitching over one of the most enjoyable VNs of all time.

>>5244348
Not everyone obviously. But some are.
>one of the most enjoyable VNs of all time
Thanks for the facts, bro. I'll look into them.

>>5244367
Call us when you'll find pure good mystery ones.

>>5244389
Why should I? I've only said that I don't like Umineko after ep4, I'm not trying to prove anything besides that your opinions =/= mine.

>>5244348
>one of the most enjoyable VNs of all time.
why stop at vns? lets call it one of the most enjoyable works of fiction ever created

Including the Anime that supports the ShKannon theory T.T

>>5244454
If you insist so...

^oh dear lord.

>>5244454
I concur, even though you're almost certainly trolling.
