I hope I'm not doing things wrong, like with the form of the thread?
Recently, I've been re reading Legend of the Golden Witch, but with voices and the PS3 sprites instead. So far I'm pleased with the voices quality, Battler is very entertaining despite looking like a retard. Pretty much like Maria, in fact. Some scenes happened to play out with different tones in my mind though. It's fortunate that I already know how this episode and the whole novel play out, because otherwise I would have dropped the novel. If you want to truly appreciate the voice acting, you have to bear through the slowness of the text. And if you want to read at your own speed, then you'd have to skip and it would completely ruin the point of having those in the first place. Pretty much a deal killer for me, considering how boring Legend is at the beginning...
Anyway, this episode is pretty heavy in terms of foreshadowing, it's incredible. A plethora of little details are thrown here and there in unexpected ways, such as that moment when Maria is glad to be called associable when she learns that Kanon is often called that too. Why would she want to be like him, of all people? Or that moment when Genji only talks to Shannon in the corridor, when technically Kanon was still there talking with her just seconds ago. He couldn't have disappeared in such a short time... Or even when the narration describes Battler with words such as "big" and "strong" when Kanon was reminiscing how he helped him with the fertilizer bags. This may be my personal interpretation on this one I admit but it's very interesting

>> No.18966590

>>18966511
I don't know if it counts as foreshadowing but Eva straight up telling Battler that the culprit is most likely a servant is incredible too, you need to have some serious balls to draw suspicion on the true culprit(s?) in the first chapter of a mystery novel.

Setting aside the issue of sprites, how much would you say the addition of voice acting/CGs changes R07's vision of Higurashi and Umineko? Does it leave too little to the imagination, or do certain scenes benefit more from it?

>> No.18966644

>>18966590
I haven't reached that part yet but it's a pretty bold move from Eva's part, considering that she wasn't supposed to reveal the joke yet. (or at least what she thought was a joke)
>>18966606
I can't really be sure for now since I started very recently, but so far I'm not disappointed by the voices. But yeah in my opinion the updated backgrounds are not as good as the old ones despite looking more modern. I'm waiting for the first CGs to appear

Well Eva was trying to draw suspicion to Natsuhi for the majority of Legend. However, she has never liked Shannon because of the whole ShannonxGeorge thing, so her mentioning it to Battler is very in-character I think. Not denying it's risky to actively point to the culprit at the beginning, but there was so much suspicion being thrown around at this point that it kind of gets lost in the sea.

>> No.18966933

>>18966888
I personally had the culprit down to ShKanon/Rosa by the end of ch.4, but ch.5 was really misleading for me (despite the game saying the difficulty is "easy"), which pointed me towards Rosa by "eliminating" ShKanon by having the objective perspective (Erika) "see" Shannon and Kanon in the same room. Then ch.6 came around and slapped me in the face.

Would you like for WTC5 to get even heavier with its layers of meta, or is Umineko enough for that type of story? Trying to surpass Umineko in that could fall flat and get messy, but it could also make for a very interesting experience if he can pull it off.

Like Rosa/Maria/Jessica have pretty good voiceacting in my opinion but kinzo is just annoying. Beato and Battler are also pretty good. Guess it depends on what your first experience of the game was but I think I prefer the original without voices even though I like the alchemist version anyhow.

It must suck to have such bad taste.

Meanwhile, I'm perfectly capable of reading the literal fanfiction that are the console arcs of Higurashi even if I'm forced to use the Alchemist sprites. They are not canon, so it's only fitting that they can't be played with the original sprites. Nothing jarring about it at all.

If you're a IQ brainlet maybe.

With my superior French knowledge I have read all the lyrics of Ricardando Il Passato. If you knew anything of French you would have understood the true meaning hidden by the lyrics. Kannontrice is a lie. Rosatrice is a mistake. The true culprit is another.

Ask yourself: who gained the most by killing everyone in the island? Who profited from the crime? That's right. Ange. Small "innocent" Ange who was suspiciously "absent" from the island during the murders. Ange who suspiciously developed an "illness" to prevent her from going to the island. Ange, the sole survivor of the family, the sole owner of the Ushiromiya fortune.

Convenient, isn't it? Now read the French lyrics of Ricardando. You'll get it.

Greetings, /jp/. Infodump anon here.

I thought I should share this interesting documentary made about Umineko by an NHK TV program named "MAG・ネット" I came across while lurking around some Umineko Discord groups.

Download link for anyone interested on it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMQl0xea9KCgBP4ohWDj-0q16Fo_1tFt/view?usp=sharing

The most curious thing to me wasn't even to see how does 07th Expansion works in the background in the making of Umineko (they did show quite a few interesting details however), but just how big Umineko's attention was even outside the otaku circle.

There's this little section of the documentary where they've shown no one other than Hiroki Azuma in the flesh making a philosophy and literary focused lecture about Umineko.

For those unaware of just how big this person is, he is one of the most influential contemporary literary critics in Japan. He goes as far as being considered a philosopher in there, PhD in "Culture and Representation" from the Todai.

I guess I will indeed make my university thesis about Umineko after all. I was uncertain about how much anyone would take me seriously regardless of the genius content surrounding it, but this is the trigger for my complete certainty about it (way to go, Lambda, thanks)

Hey guys, I think that's an appropriate (or at least semi-appropriate) place to ask such question in. Well, I picked up Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and there are those "TIPS" there. Am I supposed to open those? I've never really read VNs, maybe one or two there somewhere and I don't recall similliar system anywhere too. Anything that calls itself a hint, tip, advise etc. strikes me as pottentialy spoiling the fun, so... could you give me a simple answer, suited for a simple-minded person?

I love the rooftop fight. If there is one scene that has marked me in Higurashi, with the vomiting traumatized Satoko in ep 3, that's the rooftop fight.

It is such a whiplash. This episode, and all the other before, were terrifying and paranoid. They were dark and foreboding. This episode was dark too, and seeing Rena becoming a crazed monster was hard. And yet at the apex of it all, when all hope is lost, you get a fight to the death between Rena and Ke1. They quip, they are enjoying themselves, they are fighting for what they believe is true, and it's so funny and endearing and epic I couldn't help but smile through.

Fuck it. Ryukishi is a genius.

I am surprised Umineko got that recognition, to be honest. It is a superb post-modern story, one of the finest there is, but it's still a VN, and people in Japan are too pleb to recognize masterpieces when they see it. The Eleven are flawed. They shouldn't be able to grasp the Umineko experience.

Not necessarily all over the place. Only when something sexual happens. I love myself some hentai on my VNs, but that writing is indeed, in huge part, atroucious in a literary erotic standard. But hey, as long as I can cum to my chosen waifus, I couldn't really give a bigger fuck. Wish fulfilment and bad smut are a bless and a curse, makes the player feel good and involved, in cost of quality.

If a eroge were to have actually well written erotic scenes, without 400 lines of panting and moaning and repetitive lines in general to make the scene go longer, we wouldn't get a good fap, and the whole point of the player feeling like the character cumming hard on the waifu would then be pointless, because it wouldn't be exciting at all.

So, fuck the critics even if they may be right, and leave my porn games as they are, I'm more than satisfied with what we got thus far, and I wish it's always like this.

Yeah I mean I've been saying it has significant literary and philosophical merit for a while.

While that doesn't surprise me, it does please me to see that its profundity has already been sublimated. You didn't necessarily need a professional writing a course on it to see that, but this knowledge can only bode well. I don't know him, but from the sorts of literature and philosophy he likes (a lot of postmodernism, continental, and good literature of the ilk) you can tell he'd be keen on Umineko. He mentions meta attributes here and there, which are characteristic of postmodernism, as I've mentioned before. This is why Borges reminds us of Umineko (that is to say, for a related set of reasons (in the abstract taxonomy) to what he discusses in his lectures).

As an aside, if you really wanna write a thesis on Umineko, definitely keep me up to date on that. We can even discuss it, if you like, insofar as you would discuss that with an outsider.

And yeah thank Lambda for bringing you certainty.

>>18975231
It can't be "literature" in the same sense that the best movies can never be considered literature. That doesn't exclude it from having profound artistic and intellectual value, which is the difference between literary fiction and genre fiction, and of course the discrepancy you're worried about here. If this is what you mean by "literature," then Umineko has always been "literature."

>>18976340
I doubt it on the basis of Umineko being a truly exceptional work. Like, even versus actual literature, Umineko would hold its own against great works. This is actually miraculous, though, in the same way that, if you were to count the anime with substantive value, it'd easily be 0.1% of the whole.

>>18976389
And yeah the Japanese fanbase tends to be trash. Even among trash, though, you'll have the rare pupil with the glimmer in his eye which reflects the scintillating story before him while the majority absorb that light into the pupil's dull blackness and end up as low tier goats or something.

Subahibi without porn would be missing many hilarious lines. And it would ruin the best character.

One of the best things about Subahibi is how it honestly and genuinely shows his disgusting fetishes, his unhealthy obsession with sex and his addiction to jerking off. You can't just sidestep over these topics without weakening his character.

Any other good VNs in a similar vein to Higurashi, namely comfy SoL interspaced with mystery elements, horror, and confusion? Specifically, anything like Onikakushi?

Not quite the same, but people recommend The House in Fata Morgana for good reason. Its close enough in themes and writing styles to scratch that itch, but its also different enough and focuses on its own style enough to not be a knock-off.

At that age, every girl has tried anal masturbation at least once.

This means that, at some point during her life, Satoko actually tried to stick something up her butt. She probably didn't like it and never tried again. But the fact that Satoko has actually done something so perverted and shameful is just mindblowing. And yet, she acts like it never happened and has a proud attitude in front of her friends. Lewd!

The mind of a developing girl like Satoggo is full of perverted thoughts. It's only natural. But since she's such an ignorant loli kid, she probably has some weird ideas about sexual stuff.

She must be more perverted than the typical 25 year old girl at the very least. People, especially girls, really stop being super horny around that age.

Satoko thinks about dicks way more than Takano does. Isn't that just mindblowing?

Deep down, all girls are bisexual. They are not really attracted to a man's appearance, because men are ugly as fuck. Girls are the visually pleasing gender. What they seek in men is confidence and power. That's why you see ugly ass motherfuckers with asshole-ish personalities walking around with hot girls. Girls don't enjoy looking at a dude's body, they enjoy having their own naked bodies seen by the guy. They enjoy being dominated and humiliated in bed.

Men control power and women control men. That's how nature intended society to work before third wave feminists ruined everything.

Hi. It's good to talk to you, too, and I'm grateful for your intelligence contributions.

Japanese literature has some true marvels, and the country took extremely well to the golden age of detective novels. In fact, the Japanese literary scene is even known for it (plus a lot of Japanese identity themes, though that's always been huge since the WWII stuff).

And yeah, definitely keep to your idea of the thesis so you could write something as great as possible. If you post anything here then I'll definitely look at it and offer whatever you need for it. Integrating Umineko into academia seemed Quixotic, so I'll pounce on any opportunity for it.

And don't forget to read other works for maximal understanding of Umineko, Japanese or not! It's totally crucial to all artistry to visit and draw from the old masters wherever we can! They've already gone through so much for us, so we must harvest the fruit of their work and gratuitously so that more Uminekos can be written in the future instead of disasters (literature is diluted, like any other set, by an ethos of garbage).

And yeah, it's really nice to know you appreciate what I've done here. I adore Umineko, literature and philosophy, so seeing this stuff get some of you guys into reading or clarifying Umineko for you is enough of a reward for me. Thanks for showing your appreciation. Let's ascertain a good future for WTC5, too.

>>18977218

I actually enjoy the VN quite a bit because the atmosphere is so fucking weird. The music tracks are extremely short and simple, but they feel really creepy. And some of the backgrounds look incredibly disturbing and surreal compared to anything in Subahibi. It has this weird old school charm mixed with some kind of awkward creepiness that I really enjoy. Also, Wakatsuki's design is pretty cute. It's a shame that there's no female Yuki, though.

I still think it's pretty amateurishly made and in a not so good way, but I like it. And I like the small references to it in Subahibi.

Sadly, I agree. Dogs and cats don't have fat butt cheeks or sweaty ass cracks either.

But I think the main thing that makes them so aesthetically pleasing is the fur. Creatures with fur don't sweat or feel sticky to the touch. They are soft, fluffy and fucking adorable. Compared to that, a human being like Ange has no chance. Hell, the hairy pussy only highlights how bald, sweaty and gross the rest of her body is compared to that of an animal.

I want a mod where every normal Ooishi sprite is replaced with this one, Mion walks around in her swimsuit and Satoko spends the whole story in her birthday suit.

I really missed the alternate outfits in Umineko. It makes sense because the characters are attending the family conference and they didn't bring their casual clothes with them, but it gets a bit ridiculous when flashbacks show them wearing fancy shit at home. I mean, what kind of person goes to an amusement park wearing an expensive white suit?

Not only did every character in Higurashi have at least 2 completely different outfits, but they also had different poses. At least the main characters. Ryukishi literally bothered to draw different sets of bodies for the characters. I wonder why the fuck he couldn't give Erika a pirate hat in Umineko.

Yasu, did I ever tell you about Kinzo? During the war, he meet this woman called Beatrice, and because of her, despite the fact he was already married, he ended up massacring everyone stationed at the base on this island in order to steal her and the gold. After he did it, he used the gold to buy the island and hide his crimes. Oh, but he didn't move all the military equipment. It still here, under Rokkenjima, just as we speak.A bomb could literally go off any minute. You know how this old war stuff is. Anyway, he built a couple of mansions, one for his real family and one hidden in the forest for his mistress, who lived there for some years. Maybe as a sex slave, we just don't know. But moving on, he eventually got her pregnant and despite Nanjo's best effort, she ended up dying during the delivery. What a luck! Kinzo didn't want the world to find out about his mistress and secret daughter, so he ended up raising her in the hidden mansion and naming her Beatrice too for some reason. As she grew up completely ignorant of the outside she ended up looking more and more like her mother, so Kinzo eventually ended up thinking of her as his mistress' reincarnation, and despite her resistance, he raped her and got her pregnant. How about that! Well, moving on, after giving birth, the poor girl was so ignorant of the outside world that she didn't even realize what it had been done to her and one she ended up escaping with Rosa, you may know her, it's the woman you have served for years, and eventually ended up falling off a cliff, smashing her heads into tiny little pieces. But anyway, did you remember how I mentioned a baby? Kinzo regretted his actions, so he tried to atone by introducing the baby as the family new heir and gave him, that's right he was a boy, to Natsuhi. Little did he know that Natsuhi was a bit on the crazy side, and just a couple of days later she ended up pushing the baby and the servant holding him off a cliff. What a coincidence! Anyway, as it turns out, the baby survived, but since his genitals had been crushed, we ended up raising him as a girl. Did I mention the baby was you? Which means Kinzo is your father as well grandfather, Rosa is your sister and Natsuhi is your sister in law and adoptive mother. Oh, and the reasons you aren't developing as a woman is because you were indeed born as a boy. Anyway, this was the story of Kinzo. He was a good friend.

Always go for the the original first, and the updated for a reread.

Umineko in particular got some amazing scenes ruined by over the top voice acting (the BAKWWAAYAROOOOOO at the end of EP 5 for example, you can't even call that scene a tearjerker in the PS3 version, it's just narm and cringe-worthy in a way).

The USO DA! scene got the same feel. In the original is absolutely horrifying, and from that point on, it's purely claustrophobic and panic inducing. In the console version, it just loses the impact, because you can hear that the USO DA isn't nearly as effective as the mute version is, probably also because of over-the-top acting.

In other hand, the All Star fantastic voice cast and the updated graphics make it for a gorgeous alternative experience too. It's not like they make it any inferior (some times they even improve some scenes). But they do ruin some specific key moments.

Choose wisely, knowing these details.

>> No.18989783

Also, adding some detail, I think that, contrary to many people's opinion, I actually opt for the usage of Manga Gamer's OST for Higurashi.

"sure, you get a lot of backstage insights into his way of life, how he ended up in the situation he is now, and there are even a few tips from his perspective. Just for a quick recap, I believe the story centered around his relationship to his wife, which was related to the way the dam conflict played out. The guy has been living in a totally unsustainable way, rolling around in his own filth and spending his time gambling with 'friends' for years, and he is basically totally deranged at the point at which he is introduced into the story in tatarigoroshi.(editado)
for instance, the scene where he believes Satoko might be hiding money from him and trashes her brothers room, and completely fails to understand her reaction
it's not like he's malicious in that situation, he jsut thinks he's getting what he deserves and not letting himself outsmarted by that bratty niece of his"

Do you agree with this comment about Teppei? Do you consider him even slightly sympathetic? I personally tend to feel bad for awful bastards like him because it's obvious that deep down they feel empty and unhappy due to their own selfishness.

I wonder, in which story has such an issue been tackled before? Oh, and I'd just like to say that Rosatrice would make for a terrible story. So much genuinely wasted time, as apposed to the memetic "waste of time" some crowds spout the meta and magic narrative of umineko to be.

Really love the idea of the sea of fragments, it hasn't left my mind ever since I first read umineko years ago.

Meh, I like Yasu but her love story with Battler is totally uninteresting and unearned for me.

I have a feeling Rosatrice don't care about the truth as much they care that their waifu wasn't born a girl

Imagine feeling different about a character because they act differently in one of the infinite fragments in the sea of fragments.

Its not the same them. You know which one you love.

I'm not, why? I'm pretty sure any girl would hate Teppei at first glance.

Of course not. Look at that sexy bara material we have there. Satoko should be happy for getting even tasted by him. Teppei kinda has bad taste though, as he said she couldn't really satisfy his sexual desires at one point... a certain TIP iirc.
