I thought the mansion looked plain and I didn't feel like watching shit that I already read. That's why I dropped it.

You talked in this post for too fucking long. You should have been doing something important.

herp derp witches dont exist, magic isn't real! oh shit is that a goat butler? did that bitch just turn into butterflies? nahh fuck magic

the sign of a good production team is that you can't tell what the original story medium was. usually there are dead giveaways, especially if it's a light novel or vn.

Why is it obvious for an LN?

They're usually rushed but they're more than passable as an original

>Umineko is complete trash. All of it. It wasn't as offensive when I was reading the VN, but when you see it animated you realize how nonsensical and shitty the whole thing is. This whole ordeal has left a bad taste in my mouth, I don't know how to explain it.

That's highly accurate. I was pretty buttmad over the adaptation at first, but in hindsight I thank DEEN immensely for snapping me out of my blind Umineshit worship.

I watched the anime first. I remembered thinking after the first 2 or 3 episodes that it looked pretty good, so I read the VNs.
The anime went more and more downhill once they started adding magic.

Protagonist monologue.
You either get:

1. A whole shitton of it, making it boring, like in Index.

2. None of it, making the protagonist look like a moron, like in Kempfer or IS.

It's worse for VNs, which also may have to deal with branching storylines.

cool copypasta, read this on /a/ 2 days ago, at least your picture filename is different

Original anime typically don't have much inner monologue either. Neither do manga...
Thought I guess your argument is that it's the lack of the inner monologue that makes them look like an idiot in these cases?

But most protagonists are idiots and anime adapted from manga don't have much inner monologues either

>>7082195
I'm saying that LN and VN protagonists rely more heavily on monologue.

The drone scene in IS doesn't make much sense in the anime because they took out Ichika's perspective. In the novel, he had a more solid reason to believe the enemy was a drone, and he was secretly communicating with Cecilia for sniper assistance.

In the anime it boiled down to "the enemy is a drone because he's listening instead of attacking while we talk" and then "rush in without a plan and then get saved last minute."

And you use greentext with reaction pictures.

bump

So we hate the questions arc too, now?

I thought even the haters recognize they were pretty good and a pretty good setup

>>7084831
It's cool to hate what's popular, granted Umineko had it coming for some of the stupid shit it pulled.
Personally I will always like it, more for the ride than the conclusion.

I don't watch anime. >>>/a/

>>7084831
I really liked episode 3.
Otherwise rest is average, though episode 4 is pretty mediocre honestly.

I don't know if a series where I only really liked one episode could be considered as solid though

seconded
i like something like 91% of Umineko

I'll just leave these here.

So, basically, what you are saying is that you only care about the content, and the content of umineko was shit.
I'm ok with this.

But I think it's a shame that you don't care about the form. Because the form is what made the difference between the first episodes (which were ok) and the other ones (which were shitty).

Oh. I like this.

BACK IN /b/ WE CALL THAT BEING A HIPSTER.

>>7085867
In /jp/, we call that having the correct opinion

>Welcome to the world of When Wombats Cry!
>The life in an ordinary moonbase is thrown into chaos when mysterious incidents begin to disturb the daily routines of the crew!
>Who murdered the subcommander's male mother? What is the secret of the Asidophilus Room? Why does the wild-eyed loli in a nazi uniform recite the phonebook? What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord? It's up to you, in the shoes of the spunky highschooler Yoshi Bukkake, to find out what contrived bullshit the celebrated audio novelist Ryu Kishi has invented this time!

Cancer spotted.

>hipster being a relatively new term

It's been around since the 1940's

>>7092062
That's relatively new, if you happened to have fought at Gettysburg.

This is a good thread

I dropped it because I couldn't get used to the art style even though it was much better than the VN's
