I have a problem /jp/.
I have tried to play Seacats, I really have, but the art is just horrible. With the animu coming out soon, should I man up and play it or should I not bother and just wait for the animu.

Right, maybe George isn't chubby in the art (I mean he looks that way to us but...) he is definitely described in game as "...average" and "below average" by Shannon and George himself.

This motherfucker here looks too good for that description, I'm sorry. Unless glasses suddenly make you unattractive, because that's about the only flaw his animu portrait has.

Man the fuck up and the play games. I guaranfuckingtee you will enjoy them more than the anime because the anime is going to leave out a lot of details. It will take away so much of the speculation and that's part of what makes it awesome.

However I do admit the eventual console ports sound nice if the story remains untampered and it gets voices. Maybe. Depends on whether or not I like Daisuke Ono's Battler.

A.... 50+ episodes OVA?

I mean sure it worked for LotGH but that took like a decade to release completely.

Honestly I'm thinking Umineko is going to have to be 70+ episodes if the Answer Arcs keep Higurashi's trend of being longer than the Questions.

She's a negligent mother who leaves her (possibly autistic) daughter home alone while she gets wasted, fishes for men and goes on vacation to hot springs. Yes, she's a single mother with difficulties at work, but that doesn't excuse everything she does, especially when you also add in the whole public humiliation and beatings that she inflicts on Maria multiple times.

She got what she deserved at the Ep. 2 Tea Party.

If it's like the Higurashi animu, the show is going to be awesome at first when things are mysterious and the animators are allowed to use all the cool tricks up their sleeves, but then fall flat on its face when things start getting explained.

These were rather subpar throughout the series, as anybody would expect from anything done by Deen besides Marimite. Season 1 was simply better because the ambiguous atmosphere expected of the question arcs allowed them to focus more on the horror scenes and throwing out clues than the things you mentioned.

I seriously wouldn't bother with the VN, it's overhyped to high hell and the art IS terrible.

I'm sure the VN's music will also be in the anime so you're not really missing out on anything. The music isn't anything amazing to begin with, it's just unusually good for the genre.

Nearly everything is overhyped, regardless of its quality. Umineko is worth reading though.

It's not good, but it's demonstrates considerable improvement over Higurashi and it isn't generic (something which the anime can't claim)

I'll take characteristic, even if not too well-drawn, drawings over generic eye-candy where all the characters look the same and their appearance has nothing to do with their personality.

I mean, the anime still isn't released and you cry already how awfull it'd become.

Yeah I also think that they won't mention some details but which VN's adaption could succeed that?
They even use the same awsome OST. Honestly guys, it could have been more worse than that.~
