Lion is designed to look androgynous and not give a shit about gender. S/He's a fantasy character imagined by Yasu. Lion's world is clearly full of fantasy bullshit, too. It's not real. So it's not wrong to interpret Lion as a girl if you want, that's the whole point. Giving this character a gender is like trying to decide which of the two demons has the dick.

The real Lion would be a perfectly normal guy, not an androgynous faggot with blond hair who dislikes the idea of gender roles. The Lion from EP7 is an imaginary character.

He's still skinnyfat in Ryuukishi's mind. The updated art is for plebs and will never be canon or make any sense.

>> No.19099632

>>19099555
Except he's not a fantasy character imagined by Sayo. Sayo had nothing to do with the revelation of that kakera. That was strictly Bern.

Also to seriously think that Lion's gender is interpretable is delusional. Yes it kept vague and not specifically stated, but it's far from not being accurately discerned.

On the note of Furfur and Zepar, while r07 obviously can change their genders to what he wants given the story, and both demons are historically male, Zepar is most likely the male in Umineko as Zepar is known for seducing men by taking the form of a young boy. Not to mention Zepar has a masculine voice and personality within Umineko.

I'm not saying that Lion's gender is interpretable. It's obvious that the story only makes sense if he's a dude. I'm just saying that the Lion we meet in the story is a magical interpretation of the character, the perfect version of Yasu. It's not the real Lion. That's why this character looks like an androgynous faggot and lives in a fantasy world where magic exists.

he can't be skinnyfat, the least fit body type except for outright obesity, if he's still noticeable muscular. He's probably like one of those retired bodybuilders guys that aren't as fit as they'd used but still carry some of that muscle.

I was going through an old hard drive and found a flac rip of Musicbox Blue that I did a long time ago. I noticed that there are no seeds for the torrent on nyaa, but this is my own rip so I don't think the checksums will match if I try and seed it there. Would anyone be interested if I upload it to Mega or something? Or if another sharing site is better feel free to suggest it.

Does anyone else think that the scene where Keiichi kills Satoko's uncle loses A LOT of atmosphere with the PS2 art? And not just that scene, the entire night of Watanagashi in that chapter loses the atmosphere.

The PS2 forest background doesn't look dark enough. You couldn't see shit in the original background, while this one seems to be more focused on looking pretty and not hiding any details with darkness that it fails to achieve its real purpose. It fails to create the same atmosphere of darkness and confusion in the middle of a forest.

Resorting to stereotypes is a sign of poor writing and a very bad book, from what I can read about Knox's thoughts on it. It was very commonplace at the time with Chinese characters in stories, since it was originally written about 90 years ago.
It's less of a rule to solving a mystery like used in Umineko and more of a guideline to making a proper mystery with a real and understandable motive like the other anons are pointing out.

It makes more sense if you read the original full text instead of the abbreviated version. He's basically saying that you should avoid overused stereotypes

>No Chinaman must figure in the story. Why this should be so I do not know, unless we can find a reason for it in our western habit of assuming that the Celestial is over-equipped in the matter of brains, and under-equipped in the matter of morals. I only offer it as a fact of observation that, if you are turning over the pages of a book and come across some mention of ‘the slit-like eyes of Chin Loo’, you had best put it down at once; it is bad. The only exception which occurs to my mind – there are probably others – is Lord Ernest Hamilton’s Four Tragedies of Memworth.

Its because in the past Asians were considered by whites to be the only race on even terms of intelligence、but still godless weirdos with strange customs and morality. The combination of "smart enough to create an elaborate murder" without the hindrance of western morality made them a comfortable stereotype villain. Also at the time mystery fiction was a big thing in Britain, opium dens and proto-gangs headed by Asians were found in the bottom dregs of society. Its honestly a very dated rules and doesn't apply these days, other than generally avoiding an overtly trite/cliche stereotype for the culprit, like in the 80s this would probably be a "satanist cult" and if today's world wasn't completely PC police it would probably a Muslim with a Jihad motive.

He read the vesicle and saw that Maria did not say everything that was written, she just said the part "freed me from my chains."

"My little DragonKnight can't be this workaholic"

Now I feel bad for memeing the fact he was having a blast with Zelda some months ago. The guy rarely takes a break like that and now he pretty much is writing so much he went into a retweet rampage from all of his friends and associates, then saying he didn't touch twitter since he was drowning in paperwork for his new announced works -3 different VNs, I might remind you anons-.

One of the tweets towards 07th Masquerade implies he will be so busy this time around he may not be able to come, and that would be the first fan meeting he would ever miss, as far as I'm concerned.

That's goes to show the dedication he has with his fans, even because he said he will try to come anyway.

Shannon is not "the culprit", she and Kanon are fantasy characters. That's why they fight against the witch and duel for the single miracle of love even though Yasu is going to kill everyone anyway. "Shannon" is not secretly planning any crime, therefore she is not the culprit. She is a fantasy creature representing part of the culprit's personality. When she talks to George in the arbor scene, yeah that is the culprit acting as one of her personas, but whenever we are shown her "thoughts", it's a deception. They are the thoughts of the fantasy character, not the culprit.

Strangely, if you have an inkling of Otaku/Japanese culture, you can guess pretty much immediately the identity of the culprit. Literally in the first scene he is introduced.

It happened both to me and the French translator of Higurashi. We both abandoned the theory later when Ryukishi went all out with the tricks and the glitters... And the theory was proven right in the end. It leaves a bizarre taste in my mouth.

Shannon being Kanon was obvious to me literally the first time I saw Kanon. Slender cross-dressing traps with a double identity seemed just on par for the genre, and their name were close enough.

That's not a bright question, it entirely depends on your own capabilities and if you actively tried to solve the mystery. Just enjoy the thing instead of comparing yourself to others.
But you were able to figure out who the villain was before episode 7. I didn't even bother but I had takano under suspicion ever since episode 3.

I thought that Shannon and Kanon might actually be secret lovers and/or real blood brother and sister with some score to settle with the family before the plot got Beato heavy. In a way I wasn't completely off, but to say you can reach the full truth in the first 4 games is really unlikely. At best, you can get as far as Battler did with his moetrice without understanding the last layer of magic and the 1000 years of torture that plays into the real motive. I really doubt anyone, Japanese or otherwise would have been able to keep themselves from plastering their revelation everywheere before episode 5 was released. R07 himself was avidly interacting with his miko and watching the theories progress, and he closest he said someone got was figuring out the "sweetfish" part of the epitaph but everyone ignored it.

All these """blind""" playthroughs 10+ years after the fact are the most BS things in existence. Its not hard to pretend to be an idiot and be "almost" right enough to dupe people into thinking you are clever. At the very least you are going to be getting spoilers you can't avoid from somewhere that will seep into your unconscious, and just in general being given a Red Truth that you can solve the mystery without magic by people wanting you to play the game is huge boon compared to playing on release. Then again maybe thats my shoulder Erika talking.

If he somehow tops Umineko I think he will literally reach the realm of Gods and pop out of existence, or become a force of nature. He's already basically become a witch on par with human Ikuko.

The anime is good, worth watching and has a great OST, but it's an abysmal adaptation that spoils the entire story and lacks the depth of the original novel. My favorite parts of the anime are actually the silly fanservice seasons and that one weird OVA for the first season.

The live actions are garbage. They don't even work as cheesy B-movie crap you can make fun of. They are just boring.

However, this recent live action looks pretty decent. Still fucking shit, but the actresses are cute and the general atmosphere seems pretty charming. It could be entertaining as its own standalone thing:

https://forum.rokkenjima.org/t/higurashi-tv-drama/269

The PORN live action(s?) are really awful, though. And I'm not talking about that cosplay JAV with Mihiro wearing an Angel Mort outfit. That's decent. I mean the actual live action porn parody of Higurashi, where every character is 30+ and UGLY as sin.

>> No.19134187

If you watch the anime without knowing the source material, Mion, Ooishi, Irie, Akasaka and many others are pretty much non-characters. They are flat as a board and you don't give a shit about them, which is fucking tragic. K1 is also pretty bland because the first SIX arcs are so focused on the gore and the crazy DEEN faces that it completely ignores most of the drama. Also, the story is seemingly full of "plotholes" and the last arc is so rushed and poorly directed that you don't know what the fuck is going on with all these characters and non-characters running around and doing confusing shit until the final showdown.

If you watch the anime after reading the novel, you will actually care about all the characters, understand their motivations and understand what the fuck is going with the poorly told story. But you'll also get mad every time they completely skip hugely important scenes.

It's sad that so many fans never bother to read the Higurashi VN and think they know the story. The anime is an edgy clusterfuck devoid any depth. You can't declare that Umineko is better (whether it really is or not) when you only watched a bastardized version of Higurashi.

For me not nearly as good as the first read.
But I started with the original version and I am re-reading the PS3 Version now so it's a totally different experience I suppose. It is still enjoyable but it's a bit bothersome for me to know the "culprit" of every episode and shannon/kanons true identity, that kind of distorts the impact of some scenes.
But that's just my opinion.

>> No.19134250

>>19134187
Thanks for pointing out the exact problems, I got lazy. When I first watched the anime, I honestly tried to look at it from an unbiased point of view, but I couldn't see the appeal of it aside from, like you said, the gore and DEEN faces, which weren't exactly positives for me. Most of the characters (even main ones) seemed flat as a board and lacked any complexity. I couldn't imagine why anyone would care about them. I found them endearing in the VN, boring and unsympathetic in the anime.

I preordered the "definitive" version of Higurashi that comes out in a couple months, I am truly worried that they will follow DEEN's trend of stupid expressions and up-playing the gore/crazy laughter because that's what exploded Higurashi into popularity.

Higurashi really suffers when you "update" it. The voices are great, but they kind of kill the atmosphere.

It's even possible to a human be this smart or it was the power of the detective?

Only scene I can think of that would be better without voices is the uso da. If the vn was unvoiced until that point, and then had voices after it, I think it would be rock solid.

There was never one in moment where I thought it would be better to have voices. It's completely optional to the experience, Ryuukishi knew exactly what he was doing.

If Tohya is the author of the games after banquet, why would he write episode 6 the way it is? He would have known there was no Erika and he wouldnt have known about Natsuhi and the baby from 19 years ago event.

It's sad that so many of his fans think he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing with the sprites, the walls of text or ambiguous writing with no voices.

Those people don't like Ryukishi as a creator, they only like his stories after being "cleaned up" and made worse by Alchemist.

Oh, but this is the fate of most great stories, anon. There'll always be absurd differences in the breadth and complexity of ideas depending on the viewer, and that, too, is why creators are to voyagers what voyagers are to witches.

Early on in my reading, I thought that witch tiers were an analogue to our levels of wisdom and intelligence, so that those at the bottom can only gnaw mindlessly at what falls besides them, those above can look at the specimen in whole and relate it to similar examples, those higher had the creative ability of analogy and metaphor (voyagers) and those even higher above attained true universality, capable of peering through unlimited space, piercing through all fog and nebula to find absurd connections between disciplines eldritch to each other, because they were all part of one whole. It holds, then, that most readers are going to have little breadth of sight, no peripheral vision, and blurry vision otherwise.

It's almost like they're diabetic cause they eat to much trash unabashedly and then can't even see straight anymore. It really is like they're diabetic, keeping in mind wood (book pages) is made of cellulose (a carbohydrate).

Its not fan translation, is an old translation of Mangagamer.
>>19144151
I played with the old translation (I also could not wait more), it has errors, and some music is missing (just download the patch and paste it in the game folder), but you can fully understand the rest of the story. The Steam version is a revision of the old translation.

>> No.19144247

>>19144237
My mistake, but yeah it's generally fine if you don't want to wait for Mangagamer to finish the releases and with how long it took for Tsumihoroboshi-hen I don't blame anyone in the slightest.

I'd be more willing to wait if I knew when 7 and 8 were coming, but it almost doesn't seem worth it since it took like 14 months just for 6.

I read an hour or so of the old version of 6 and, aside from some weird wording here or there, seems alright, so I'll probably keep going.

Thanks, m80s.

EP5 and EP6 are the forgeries written him and Ikkuko AFTER they got their hands in Eva's diary, as she obviously went to them at some point after the Banquet and before Dawn (Ikkuko had the diary by then) accused her of murdering the family in amazing detail.

They pretty much knew about everything by the timethe Chiru forgeries came out, Erika being a convenient possibility to be used as a outside detective perspective that isn't Battler's they inserted in there (meta-wise, there are kakeras in which she does end up in the island).

EP5 seems to explore further motivations as for the information of Yasu's tragic past from when she was a baby, and what would be like if her motivations were to get some payback for what happened... Or so Ikkuko and Tohya theorized before, as by the end of EP5, Tohya remembers everything, tries to kill himself and end up in a wheelchair.

He then proceeds to describe what does HE interprets as being the true behind the incident in EP6 as the gamemaster who now comprehends how some things worked, finally having some closure for his own situation (except for the Ange thing, coming in a bit).

Then Ikkuko make a much colder and objective interpretation of her own given based on the information provided by Eva, and that's Episode 7 analyzing everything bit by bit as colder and systematically straight to the point as Willard Wright would do himself in the past with his stories (anyone who read those know that the Willard we have here is now the polar opposite of his old mentality in the Umineko metaworld, as he tries to give the heart some deserved emphasis now).

Then, we have EP8, which symbolizes a battle of perspectives between these two gamemasters regarding the story in hands and their own interpretation of the incident.

Umineko is fucking replete of symbolism of all kinds anyway, and this is one that was fairly explicitly explained by the very end of EP8, but i do understand the confusion, as you are supposed to reread having those particular elements in mind before reaching that conclusion. Unless of course, your memory is that good to connect all of the dots just after finishing the whole thing.

I think near 30 hours, as it's almost as big as Umineko EP4
