That site solves the music patch problem, but the graphics patch there is still from MegaUpload.

Seriously, don't use the graphics patch. You get used to the hands quickly, and the expressions are actually better in the original.

>>8675658
Stop trolling.

Son, did you look at where you are?

>>8675661
He's not trolling.
There really are people who believe that.

>>8675670
R07's art is nice. But without love, it cannot be seen.

>>8675670
The only people who don't believe that are the ones who played with the patch first or got the patch after playing original for a really short time.

Seriously, don't hurt your experience, read Higurashi as it was meant to, not the easier to digest commercialized version, it's worth it.

'Agreed he is better than ZUN

So, is this project dead?

almost a year since last update

Why? Why would you want to change the sprites? They're fine.

Is there anything missing from the Mangagamer translations besides some sound/music? Like for example I noticed there was no all-cast review section in chapters 5-8, is that how it was in the original release?

Graphics patch? Why?

>>8678878
Speaking of which, where can I get the OST for Higurashi? Everywhere I look, I only find the one from the anime.

>>8678887

I have both the original and MG versions on another computer if you want me to upload them.

>>8681400
Please and thank you

Don't change the sprites... nipaa!

These are just some of them and are old rips. I ripped the songs from the DS games a long while back as well.

>>8681808

Er, what I meant was that these aren't the ones from the DS games obviously.

Here is the MG OST.

And more importantly this. The original sprites and backgrounds are incredibly charming and it just doesn't feel the same without them.

I don't really feel like playing the VN. Is the Anime an acceptable substitute?

>>8681843
No, because the VN is spooky scary while the anime falls short of being very enjoyable.

>>8681843
Personally, I think that the VN is overrated. The anime is fine, as is the manga, but the VN is terribly draw, terribly voiced, and does a terrible job in making the mood. It's also annoying to have to sit through all those shit transitions.

>>8681843

It has never been truly blessed with what some would call a fair translation but they are very enjoyable. At least give it a chance before you dismiss it completely.

>>8681864

Sorry VN fans. I agree with this. Even if the VN executes the theme and plot a bit better, there is really nothing wrong with the anime and you're all just being defensive for very little reasons.

Its overrated.

>>8681886
I thought the anime's pacing was awkward, and if I watched it before playing the VN, I wouldn't even have cared about the characters. There's a huge, incomparable difference between the end of the first chapter in the VN and in the anime.

>>8681843
Not at all. Unless you prefer "killer lolis xD" over actual plot and characterization.

>>8681950
Confirmed for never actually watching it.

>>8681950
I like killer lolies. 
     What's wrong with killer lolies?
          I mean, they're lolies, who kill.
     What's not to love?

>>8681964
I watched the anime before reading the VN. I wish I hadn't because it spoiled the story without presenting it nearly as well or as completely as the VN.

The anime is shit and you should feel bad for watching it instead of playing the game.

>>8681864
>terribly voiced

>>8682007
There are voice patches, I think. Perhaps that is what Anon is talking about. I liked it fine without them, and I never bothered to see what all those idiots where talking about when they kept asking for torrents of the voice patches.

>>8682024
Why are they idiots? That's a pretty silly thing to say.

>>8682014
You're opinion is shit. The anime is great, as is the VN. Stop being such a faggot.

>>8682029
Because their comments all follow the basic template of ``OMG RAPIDSHIT ON VOICE PACTH PLOX KTHXBAI'', as it typical of those who do not search for their own files.

>>8682032

I always thought it was just horrible. Might have captured a few moments greatly but overall was was just pale when compared to the VN,

As someone who watched both seasons, I'm personally putting off playing the VN as long as possible. I definitely plan to play it, but not while the details are still somewhat fresh in my mind (this same problem really spoiled my enjoyment of the Kanon VN). Not like I have any lack of backlog anyway.

Shame that from the sound of it, I shouldn't expect a soundtrack on par with Umineko.

>>8683153
There are some great tracks. Not as good overall, but still enjoyable, specially on the answer arcs where he got dedicated music instead of free stuff from the internet. Make sure to get the patches, or even better, play the j version.

>>8683153
I put the novels off since... well, since Mangagamer released them. And now that I'm finally reading them, I'm glad it's been years since I watched the series. Of course I laugh at everything 34 says, but most of the details I forgot. For example, I had no idea what was happening in Watanagashi with Shion and Mion. "Wait, why does K1 think they are the same person? ...Maybe they are switching places or something?". All in all, I'm enjoying the mystery again.

Anybody know where I can get the original Japanese version of Higurashi?
I've looked everywhere, and all I manage to find is the MangaGamer version.

>>8684518
You'd have to download the whole file (it's compressed in one file), and I don't know if it actually has the Himatsubushi and Matsuribayashi image files, but here you go:

>>8684561
No wonder I couldn't find it, since it was labeled under anime.
Thanks a lot!

>>8681843
The anime is very different and for most people strictly inferior experience to the VN, but as it uses the same plot reading/watching one will spoil plot points for the other.

Overall, the anime feels rushed and is lacking in atmosphere and characterization. It's easier to watch (as most scenes that some would consider 'boring' are skipped over) but at the same time harder to understand (some of those 'boring' scenes are pretty vital to the plot), and will cause less immersion (although 'killer lolis xD' is an exaggeration, it is true that you will sooner consider the murders 'awesome' than 'tragic' when watching the anime as you do not really feel much for the characters).

If you wish to experience the atmosphere and characterization that Higurashi is praised for, read the VN. If you want an interesting horror flick with kids killing each other, watch the anime.

Personally, if you're completely unspoiled, I urge you to at least read episode 1 of the VN if you're just going to watch the anime for the rest. Although the first half may seem boring at times, the latter half is an experience you won't forget.

>>8684623
It'd be cool visiting that building. Maybe playing Hide-and-seek around the area too.

>>8684634
I'm pretty sure it is filled with fans nowadays.
