Mediocre with a few flash of brilliances here and there, get overall far too dragged out for its own good.
Ryuukishi should start writing self-contained stories, he obviously doesn't know how to edit his script making the whole thing far longer than it should be.

There is the matter whether they consider chicken their favorite food and how it compares to other shit they eat.

I for one participate in the theory shitstorm threads, mainly because I'm bored, but I have no illusion about the inherent quality of Umineko.

Do you realize how STUPID the whole thing is?

There may be a vocal minority against it on /jp/, but the fact of the matter is that actions speak louder than words, and I'd say the majority of threads made on /jp/ that aren't Touhou threads are Umineko threads.

I never said they hated it though.
Personally I think that Umineko is one title that was made for discussion, it's not about its inherent quality at all, it's just that its genre is like this.

So yeah it gets more discussion than something like Sharin no Kuni that is very self-contained story.

But it doesn't make it "stand-out" or make it better in any way.
Mysteries, especially when they are in current serialization, or story that involves a huge setting full of powerlevel will always have more discussion than other genres, no matter what the quality of these titles are.

>> No.4417838

>>4417812
The issue here, is that Umineko threads are never image spammed to death by fan-made stuff. When they are spammed, it's usually by Cirno pictures and the like.

Hell, on the front page now, I believe there is a thread devoted to an offhand comment Battler makes in a side chapter, about 3 of the mothers wearing skimpy clothing.

I'm one of the main poster in the Umineko theory threads.
I'm the one who started ShKanontrice here and fought alone for days to impose it.
I also alternatively fight for the fiction theory.
A few hours ago I, and another smart guy, had a debate with a retard who wanted to prove that Erika didn't exist or some shit like this.

I also think that Umineko is pretty mediocre, I basically fastforwarded episode 4 and 5 because I got sick of the shit writing.

I post in these threads and argue with retards because it's entertaining to do so, it has nothing to do with the quality of Umineko in itself.

Yes, yes, we know, you with your cunning machiavellian plan to impose upon us a theory you thought up all by yourself on Umineko, which by the way you don't like and you've only actually read three episodes of. You sly dog, you.

To which I say, are you fucking serious?


Looking at it logically here, for you to be correct about your assertions, it would have to mean the following three things.

One, that you spent all your time pushing Shkanontrice, and I do mean ALL YOUR TIME, because you insist that you alone pushed it.

Two, that NO ONE ELSE here can speak or understand Japanese, because this theory hit Japan almost as soon as the episode came out.

And three, that you drew this picture, because this picture too was drawn hours after episode 6 came out, and it's in english, as you can see.
