Which witch would you fuq?
I have a strong desire to restrain Erika with tape and rape her like a wild man whilst she curses and berates me
>>14702690
A man of impeccable taste.
>>14702812
I plan on finding out how she tastes too
>>14702824
There would be something wrong if you didn't want some of this.
>>14702844
I want it and I want to take it without permission. God, I'd love to teach that arrogant bitch a lesson by abusing her cunt
Country Girl english translation when?
>>14702615
None. Witches are for torturing and inflicting pain upon.

This is confusing for me, isn't something missing here?
>>14704026
Seems like it's only a download link. Someone should upload it to Batoto
>>14704072
Honestly looks just like random pages put together, probably thats what it is.
>>14704078
Oh wait, you meant the actual chapter? It's supposed to be like that, it's excatly the same as the raw
>>14704078
>>14704091
Basically, the chapter is just a preview for the manga. That's why it's so disjonted, it's kinda like a trailer
>>14704091
Trailer chapter?
Feels like a trailer.
Witches are for plebs
Aunts are for true patricians
I want to fuck Bern
>>14704532
I hope you die.
>>14704551
I hope you die for wanting him to die
>>14704551
No, I hope YOU die.

>>14704551
That's a little harsh for just wanting to fuck a fictional character. And I would treat her with care, I promise
All of them, can't get enough of those frilly dresses.
>>14703021
Pretty interesting trailer.
I want to do things with Beato. Lots of things. I don't care if that makes me a faggots.
>>14704821
It's fine, I want to fuck Shannon even though I know that's gay as fuck
So, what exactly is Beato smoking?
Did they fuck this CG up, or am I missing something? I'm pretty sure it would be impossible for Shannon to be laying at that angle if she shot herself through the grate
>>14704522
I want them all!
>>14706071
Standing and tying a rockrope to the shotgun. Šo she shoots herself and either isn't killed instantly or slumps backwards. Either way the gun disappears in the tunnel.
>>14704522
Beato is both a witch and an aunt
>>14706873
I'm pretty sure you meant Eva, and yes, this is an acceptable compromise
>>14706949
Beato is Battler's aunt too, anon. As well as his cousin.
>>14706949
No, since Beato is Kinzo's child that technically means she's Battler's aunt
>>14706970
>>14706971
That's impossible, Anon, because witches aren't real.
Aunts, however, definitely are!
>>14707003
I must say, Eva and Natsuhi look really good for being around 50
>>14707132
It's bizarre, but no version of the artwork for any WTC game is actually properly accurate. The aunts all look way younger than they should and the Shannon and Kanon art are just outright lies. There's no way they can be accurate.
So Battler was Dante all along?
>>14708354
It's not like anyone ever tried to hide that
>>14708375
Looking damn fine here Battler.
>2016
>not knowing that the Golden Land represents Heaven and Battler/Tohya passes away during the Magic End
>>14708435
I think it's more like Tohya was finally able to live without Battler "inside" him. Tohya definitely didn't die. In the manga he's still talking to the kids after Battler leaves. And besides, he's only 30, there isn't really any reason for him to die
>>14708407
Battler is pretty handsome to be honest
>>14708706
Okay, I looked this game up and this one is just straight up Rika. What the fuck is this shit?
>>14708706
I'm speechless
Young Eva was something else.
>>14708748
It gets worse.
>>14708997

Me on the bottom right
>>14709085
>>14709090
Nice try, "Kanon".
We all know who you truly are.
PS: Me on top right
>>14709097
You got it all wrong. I'm just really prone to getting mixed up between left and right.
>>14709111
Sounds like something a culprit would say.
>>14709117
Come on, man. What proof do you have that I did that on purpose?
>>14708997
What the fuck, that's literally just Kanon. They didn't even try to hide it. How did they get away with this?
>>14709127
The lack of a capital letter in the first post indicates a haste in making that post. I consequently theorize the following.
I shall first link this to the fact that the character you picked initially to represent you was the 'class rep', whom whilst by the nature of their job is to be outgoing in class, is often shown as strict and possibly even restricted in term of lifestyle, or to put in more colloquial terms, has a very boring lifestyle. Contrast this to the 'mystery boy' who's nature is given away merely by his title, and who subsequently is likely far more popular as an individual, them you arrive at an answer that you immediately picked the character that actually represented you the best in real life, as opposed to the one that you inspire to be due to their cool, collected nature and popularity.
This level of reasoning is possible for A Guy with too much time on his hands. What do you think, everyone?
>>14708706
"Bakafire"
I propose everyone with a stupid japanese pseudonym should be hanged in public square
>>14708997
Wow, that's a hot alien
>>14709177
Why can't you just accept that it was a mistake? There's no murder here so why must you insist that there is some kind of mystery to solve?You seriously better stop this now, dudebrother. My alternate persona could break free at any moment and you'll totally regret it.
>>14709183
Ashida Kim ^__^
>>14708997
Me second from bottom right.
Fuck you ryukishi for these cheap tearjerkers
I almost forgot about this. Her name actually was Miyoko from the beginning, so she could possibly be the Takano that was saved by young Bernkastel. I can totally see Lambda making her a piece just to mess with Bern.
>>14709216
Oh my, how scary. Guess I should back off before your fake Tumblresque head-canon comes out to play.
>>14709159
1. All anime trope characters look alike. "A shrine maiden with black hair" isn't any level of similarity.
2. It's a doujin game. It has lots of homages to Higurashi, Umineko, Steins;Gate, etc. For example, the "Paranoia Virus" plot or "Giant Time Bomb" plot with a "Witch" as the featured role.
But yeah, Tragedy Looper is basically "When They Cry: The Board Game." And it's awesome, too. I've been thinking of making a fan expansion for it with the actual Higurashi or Umineko characters/locations/plots.
>>14709183
It's a Japanese designer, actually: http://bakafire.main.jp/about_eng.html
>>14710493
I would actually try that out if I had anyone to play with
Maybe we could have a /jp/ game night through an online tabletop like Roll20 or Lackey
>tfw you're watching hentai and suddenly Daisuke Ono is voicing the MC
>>14710763
I'd be up for it.
>>14710928
Stop watching gay porn m8. Besides, everyone knows that Battler was a bigger player than his dad
>>14710928
That's actually pretty common. I know at least Ronove, George, Amakusa, Eva, Ange, Will, Kyrie, and Erika's VAs have done hentai as well
>>14711067
>Erika's VAs have done hentai
>>14711067
Shit, I wish I could know VA roles well enough to be able to tell who's done any Hentai work.
But I'm a little glad you didn't add Kinzo to that list
>>14711087
Unfortunately she's only been in one H-game as far as I know. She really should use that beautiful voice for such things more often
>>14711067
It's not a hentai, but Bern's VA has a sex scene in that one pedo series. She sounds more like Rika in it though

beato is probably impossible to NTR.
bern and 34 are psychos that'll probably bite off your dick.
auau is worst seacat and responsible for everything bad that has ever happened.
rule63!battler is probably sluttiest witch, though.
>>14713601
That drawing however looks like crossdressing battler.
The eyes and around them seems like a copy paste of male batter.
>>14713720
But its not rule63.
That is my point.
>>14713645
Would you perfer this, then?
also how does that look like a dude
>>14710763
>>14711048
I could mastermind it.
Heck, we could even do one on a /jp/ thread using tripcodes for the mastermind and three protagonists. I'd play a custom one-off script so others wouldn't get spoiled.
>>14714391
Tripcodes are for jerks! I want to play though. Especially if there is liquor involved.
Is there liquor involved?
>>14714391
Are there scans for the entire game somewhere? It's just like /seacats/.
I imagine that as long as each piece was detailed, you could just make them by using pieces of art from the WTC series instead of the one off stuff that the game uses.
>>14715459
I downloaded the pdfs of it a long while ago from here. There's the rulebook, player's handbook, and mastermind's handbook.

>where was I? OH YEA! The murders!
>>14717555
How can you go through ch7 without understanding who the culprit is? Unless you're talking about Rosatrice, in which case get outta here
But hey, when you do have a correct theory or a theory that can coexist with the official answer, I personally get a feeling better than orgasm
What would happen if Will told Clair that "Van Dine's Twenty Rules, Rule #11: It is forbidden for a servant to be the culprit!"?
>>14717555
Please refer to that Christie story by its original title: Ten Little Niggers
>>14717625
Yasu was already the head of the Ushiromiya family since it was in charge of the gold.
>>14717555
It's pretty much stated that it is Shannon (Sayo) in Part 7, and it is strongly hinted that Kanon is just made up.
>>14717625
Yasu wasn't a maid, he was just pretending to be one while in actuality being the Lord of Rokkenjima. At least that's how I justified it.
>>14717634
>>14717635
Oh, I actually never thought of that. That makes a lot of sense
>>14717625
The culprit of Rokkenjima Prime wasKyrie and Rudolf
>>14717641
Plenty of interesting things to discover on a reread. For example end of ep 4 where Battlers existance is being denied in red. The part where he says ange is my sister, I should have realised that ange being Kyrie's daughter, then means that Battler is Kyrie's daughter, but instead ange tells us its not about blood, but about bonds(which is bullshit) and I end up accepting that.
As well as how ange was able to revive sakutarou for Maria in the golden land. Call me slow, but I never caught these things on my first read.
>>14717643
Even though it was stated in red, it could possibly mean it was true for that specific kakera. But I'm not one to be contrarian so I believe that that kakera makes sense for the outcome of 1998
>>14717661
Have you read the manga? They show Ange reading the book in Episode 8, so it's pretty much confirmed
>>14717708
Do they now? Shit.
>>14717655
Yeah, looking back on it I missed so many clues, especially in Episode 1 and 2. It's pretty impressive how well Ryukishi planned everything
>>14717719
The manga shows pretty much everything. I think the only part that isn't explained straight-out is the logic error in Episode 6
There's something I've been wondering about for a while. How did Yasu know that Ange would be absent? The only explanations I can think of are
1: She just assumed Ange would be sick again, since she was known to have bad health
or 2: She bribed either Rudolf or Kyrie or both beforehand, and they told her. However, that would make them accomplices in every game, which seems kind of unlikely
>>14717866
We only saw 2 games made by yasu, we can therefore speculate that we only saw games where yasu prepared for ange being sick
>>14717876
I guess that's possible, but in the part of the manga where she plans the murders, and states her reasons for wanting to kill each of them, Ange is the only one that isn't mentioned at all. It's a little strange
>>14717641
Even if that wasn't the case, Will deliberately witheld some of the other rules. Using all of them would destroy the gameboard as Umineko adheres to Knox rather than Van Dine.
>>14717892
Yeah, but Rule 11 is one of the few rules he actually says in red. But you could argue that it doesn't count, since it was outside of a game
>>14717892
I would argue that Umineko mostly follows Van Dine's rules, the only rules it breaks as far as I can see are 3, 12, 16 and, to an extent, 17 and 18
>>14717976
And I guess you could argue it doesn't break Rule 12, depending on what you define as a "minor helper or co-plotter"

I can't believe this is official art

Wait, those aren't fanart? Fucking nice.
>>14718050
I'm not 100% certain, but as far as I can tell it's official art that was released alongside the PS3 port of Chiru. Would be nice if anyone could confirm it
>>14718058
>>14718030
I did some research, and the site i posted is linked on the official website for the PS3 port, so it's official for sure.
So I guess that means tape-rape Erika is canon

Wait, Higurashi Sui has choices? At 1:00

>>14717892
What irritates me is thay they violate Knox's 5th. No Chinamen are supposed to be involved, but Genji is from Chinese Taipei.
>>14718030
>Crossing his legs
And they said that Yasu was the one who didn't have testicles
>>14718617
>The Steam version will always be inferior to the PS3 version
At least the Umineko Project port for the PS3 version is working out well, with sexy 1080p and everything.
>>14718725
It specifically says in the tips that rule 5 is redacted or something like that
>>14718766
>the console exclusive arcs will never be translated
When did Yasu stop going to school with Jessica? Kanon says that he didn't attend school past the elementary level, but that is clearly not true as you can see from the manga which has Shannon at a higher level. I wonder why Jessica didn't pick up on any of that.
>>14718806
Could be just Kanon bullshitting, who knows. I always felt like Jessica probably had an inkling of what was going on with the whole Shannon/Kanon thing but didn't want to say anything or didn't know how. I mean hey, there's really no non-awkward way to ask someone why are they pretending to be a boy. Or pretending to be a girl, I guess.
Would you?
>>14719161
I'd pick her up and give her a baby toss
>>14718791
Console exclusive? You better not be toying with my heart
>>14715562
So we doing this or what?
>>14719204
You didn't know? The PS2 and DS versions have exclusive arcs. I believe the total number of arcs for Higurashi is 19, all of which are in the PS3 port
>>14719241
Higurashi? Now I'm confused, does umineko have PS3 exclusive arcs or does umineko have any? Because I'm not too familiar with all the higu content.
>>14719315
Higurashi* for gods sake, will this hell ever end?
>>14719315
Umineko has no console exclusive arcs
Higurashi does
>>14719315
Oh sorry, I was talking about Higurashi. Umineko is the same
>>14719333
>>14719338
Oh OK, I was getting a bit excited there to find that there's new content of seacats that I haven't explored yet. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I would fuck all the witches, except Maria. She has too much autism
>>14719685
Even Virgilia?
>>14719750
ESPECIALLY Virgilia!
>>14719760
<Good> taste.
>>14719774
Pachinko Slots? More like Pachinko Sluts.
I make a quick and kind of shitty little custom card for Tragedy Looper. Will do the same with all the character cards so it can be WTC reskinned. I think that I have everything I need on there.
>>14719817
But anon, that's the same pictureJust kidding, good job!
I feel like I've seen this character before somewhere, but I just can't place her.
Any ideas?
>>14719685
You wouldn't play with Maria's tight puffy pussy?
What the fuck man
I want to read Higurashi, since Hotarubi is going to have expys to that and it's the only ryu07 thing I have yet to read.
Should I just read the 'restored' version? I prefer the old sprites for Umineko, but Higurashi's giant ball hands are so funny that I'm worried it might break serious moments.
>>14721128
They worked for me. First chapter was a little silly while I got used to it, but just like seacats sprites, I started to enjoy the originals.
>>14721128
Just go with the one you prefer, it doesn't really matter that much in the end. Personally I like the PS2/PS3 sprites better
>>14721247
This. Whichever one you choose, you'll find flaws with it in the beginning but as you go on you'll become accustomed to them.
>>14721128
I'd recommend the original sprites. They might look odd at first, but you'll get used to it. They're much more expressive, which enhances the experience.
I originally played Umineko with the original sprites. Then I went back and played Higurashi, and tried to use the sprite patch...but just couldn't. I had to go back to the original sprites by the 2nd arc. It just wasn't the same.
>>14721438
That's precisely why I asked.
Umineko with new sprites, even on a reread, just isn't the same.
I know it sounds as retarded as "The voices were better in the manga" arguments, but really, bad sprites make it so you fill in the blanks. Having perfect character pictures and a different background image for every scene makes imagination take a dive and takes away all the magic.
>>14719817
There's also one for Higurashi already on BGG. Higurashi translates even easier since all the locations are the same. The tricky part for me in Umineko is the locations. I was thinking:
Mansion
Rose Garden
Guest House
Kuwadorian (or Chapel?)
BTW, could you post the template here? I'd like to do an Umineko/Higurashi retheme where the characters actually have new abilities.
Let's play a game.
RED
There is a street of houses.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
the Brit lives in the red house
the Swede keeps dogs as pets
the Dane drinks tea
the green house is on the left of the white house
the green house's owner drinks coffee
the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
the man living in the 3rd house drinks milk
the Norwegian lives in the first house
the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer
the German smokes Prince
the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water
I'll also throw in a present for you.
The German doesn't own the fish.
ENDRED
Come at me jaypee!
>>14721694
Just a question, is the Green house near to the white one or just on a position to the left of it?
>>14721712
Not sure where you're going with this but.
RED
The green house is adjacent to the white house.
ENDRED
>>14721785
I also have a question, just to clarify. All the houses are in a straight line from 1-5, right?
Which Stakes would be in your harem based on your own sins? I get Belphegor and Satan.
>>14721860
All of them, except Lucifer
>>14721856
RED
All the houses are in a straight line
ENDRED
>>14721694
It's stupid, but I guess the answer has to be that noone owns the fish. The riddle is the same as the original, so if the German doesn't own it, then noone can. The German owns a different animal not specified in the riddle, and none of them own the fish
>>14721888
RED
Someone on that street, in that line of houses owns a fish.
ENDRED
HORAHORA
>>14721901
Not that anon, but are you sure you got it right?
I keep getting that only the german can have the fish
>>14721915
While you could argue that I messed up a little with one line in the explanation, it should still be possible if you put your imagination to use.
I'll post the answer if no one gets it eventually.
>>14721932
I did it all again from scratch and I keep arriving to the same solution1.-Norway Yellow Dunhill Water Cats
2.-Blue Dane Horses tea Blend
3.-Brit red Milk Pall mall birds
4.-Green German Coffee Prince FISH
5.-White Swede dogs master beer
I give up
>>14721944
That's the only possible answer. Unless the houses are in a different formation, like a circle, or it's a wordplay, like the one I proposed, that can only be the answer. If this actually is solvable then I'm completely lost
>>14721694
Now that you've said that there's a screwup somewhere in the explanation, I think I have an idea.
State the following in red
'There are only 5 people on this street'
>>14721979
I also have another idea. It's probably wrong, but I'll just try it to be sure
Say in red that each person can only own one animal
Has R07 ever gone into any detail about things like the Senate of Witches or the SSVD? Or is he just going to let those concepts just rot until whenever.
>>14721979
If that's the answer, then wasn't my solution kind of right? >>14721888
>>14721979
>>14722083
But if that's the case then he messed it up, since the riddle says
>These five owners
>>14721461
I will check that Higurashi retheme out when I can. I was planning on using some Higu characters on parts where the Umineko ones don't really fit.
Here is the .xcf file for the first card. I am not /gd/ so please don't let anything I did offend your sensibilities.
http://a.pomf.cat/pejkgv.xcf
>>14722120
>>14722083
I screwed up I have no excuse, if I wanted to be a sore loser, I could have changed my answer to >>14721988
I'm sorry. I'll put in more effort next time.
>>14722279
It would have been just fine if you had removed the "five" part. Make sure to read trough it more carefully before posting next time
I guess that means my answer that none of them owned it was kind of right then. And even then, it took a while before I came up with that
How close is the manga to the VN? I would read the VN but I don't have the spare time.
>>14722341
>I don't have the spare time.
Yes you do. Read the VN
>>14722341
No you don't. Watch the anime
>>14722341
You'll be missing out on a great soundtrack if you don't read the VN, but it's up to you.
>>14722279
I'll fix this shit. The riddle specifies that there are five people living on a street. But what if the German had a visitor from America? That way the American wouldn't count as of the five owners specified, since he doesn't live there. The German owns a different animal, while his American visitor owns the fish. See, no problems at all
>>14722341
Other than some parts which are briefer and part 7 & 8 which diverge from the VN (By being much more explicit) it is a good adaption. For some reason RS still hasn't finished the novelization yet.
>>14702615
fuck this shit, I'm rewatching Higurashi
>>14722423
USO DA
>>14722445
naw roo hou dough
>>14722383
Are the novelizations translated?
>>14722509
Yes but you'll still have a far better experience with the VN, and I say that as someone who collects the books.
The best thing Umineko has to offer in my opinion is the immersion created primarily by not knowing what will happen next, the stellar soundtrack, and the depth of detail the characters thoughts are expressed in. While the manga are certainly great, they naturally don't offer you a soundtrack and about three quarters of the characters thoughts are cut out. This detracts you from both the world and the characters, and since emotions displayed towards scenes in stories are directly proportional to how invested you are as a person into the characters lives and livelihood, this consequently removes much of the impact certain scenes will have on you as a reader. Furthermore, you certainly won't know what will happen when reading the manga and will certainly be surprised at twists, however obviously this is a one off thing and if you decide to read the VN after it will also be ruined due to prior knowledge of twists.
Ergo you should either read the VN first then the manga, or just avoid both, make a note to come back to them someday when you actually have time, and thank me later.
>>14722921
I've actually read the VN and the manga, and I've never been able to find the translations for the light novels. Where can I get them?
>>14722509
>>14722928
As far as I know, they're not translated.
>>14722928
Oh my mistake, I thought you were >>14722341.
I don't think the LNs have been translated, sorry. I could be wrong though.
>>14722948
>>14722963
Ah damn. Oh well, No worries anyway.
>>14708375
Probably my favorite page from the manga, and just favorite part in general. The fucking chills when "And then...I....knew" went across the screen as all the stuff flashed by.
>>14708435
>look at me! I haven't read the manga yet!
>>14708706
I thought this was written by the man himself, and got really hyped for it then disappointed when I found out the truth.
Oh well, I only have one friend that would want to play it so whatever. (Although maybe two once I finally introduce another to WTC)
>>14710493
Okay, actually I might just pick it up anyway fuck it.
>>14718030
My dick has ascended from this plane of existence.
For some reason the fact that its official makes me even harder.
>>14724257
>>14721040
I'm not saying that Maria isn't a cute, fuckable child, I'm just saying she's too autistic. I bet she'd be talking about Beatrice and "Kihihi"-ing during the sex, and that's a bit too much
>>14724301
Show me the B U T T !

Has there ever been any more info about what this would have been? It sounds pretty interesting, too bad it was scrapped
Wait, Ryu's gonna be involved in making ANOTHER MANGA?! Isn't that like 5 now? Plus 2 VNs? So much for him retiring
>>14725581
You should empathize with those that kill others solely for the D.
>>14724171
You can totally play it 1 vs 1, with 1 player controlling all 3 protagonists.
If the culprit really hates Rosa, why did they make her into such a badass?
>>14725581
Blah blah blah, pay attention to the motive blah blah have compassion blah blah my white cat is waiting at home
How the fuck did Erika not see Shannon and Kanon at the same time here? Is she blind?
>>14727493
She is not the narrator. Battler is. And since Battler is not the detective, he is allowed to see shit that isn't there.
Like, for example, meeting Kinzo.
>>14727592
Yeah, that's what the manga says as well. Erika thought Kanon was preparing her room
And while we're on it, why did they refer to Shannon as X in this scene? It was really obvious that they were talking about her, and they even showed her being the culprint in Episode 7
>>14727704
I just feel like Erika googled the answers after the VN and came back in the manga claiming she solved everything herself
>>14727704
The unreliable narrarator thing had me incredibly confused. I assumed that you just couldn't trust anything Battler didn't see, but as soon as he saw Kinzo prancing around in End of the Golden witch I lost it. Of course the answer was obvious as he was just Lambda's piece at that point. I love how the manga really utilizes it in that scene, even if it makes the answer obvious.
>>14728487
One thing that bugged me was in end of ch2 where Battler saw butterflies and shit before 24:00
>>14728879
He was drunk, so he lost the Detective Authority. Erika says in Episode 5 that's the reason she doesn't drink
>>14728946
That's also the reason he meets Kinzo in Episode 2. Basically, being drunk makes him an unreliable narrator
>>14728946
She should come over here to Denmark and get hammered. She is 15 so it would all be good.
>>14729093
>She is 15
Citation needed
>>14729093
>She is 15
I don't think her age is ever mentionedI hope she's older though, here in Norway 15 is one year too young
>>14729119
She was mentioned to be two years younger than Jessica, so 16 would be more accurate
>>14729134
I don't think that's right, I'm pretty sure someone (Genji?) says that she looks like she's the same age as Jessica
>>14729145
Fuck me, the wiki agrees with you. I must have remembered that incorectly. Then she is just 18 but with an inadequate body.
Her intellectual rape is the equivalent of fedora tippers compensating for having a small dick.
>>14729134
I hope you don't mind if I hold out on believing you on that.
>>14729155
Ok, I checked the VN and Genji indeed says she's about the same age, but then, in the next scene, Maria says she's younger so I don't fucking know
Excuse the shitty quality, I had to find it on Youtube
>>14729198
Maria may be judging Erika based on her appearances, while Genji may have asked her when he was helping her out. Her age is probably meant to be ambiguous like a few other things in the story.
>>14729210
To be honest it doesn't really matter how old she is, I would fuck her either way
Does anyone now how many chapters of Iwaihime are out? The manga started in September, so I assume there's more than just one
>>14730371
It seems Volume 1 was released on the 29/1. I'm not sure how man chapters that would be, but according to Amazon it's 174 pages long
Kyrie's the ideal partner for life, both as a relationship and a partner in crime.
Natsuhi is the ideal oldschool supportive housewife that'll make you welcome home after a long day of work.
Rosa is probably an incredible shag. Pump and dump, but dump immediately or you risk her catching up to you and fucking your shit up.
Eva's shit. Avoid at any opportunity, lest you want to get swindled, smirked at and in general be berated because you're not a walking money bag.
>>14730380
>>14730371
There're three chapters.
>>14730850
>Kyrie's the ideal partner for life
>Eva's shit
What
>>14730912
The thing about Kyrie is that if she loves you, you can confide in her fully about anything and she'll support you. Unless it somehow spurs her jealousy then you might be fucked.
>>14730942
Did you even read Umineko? Eva is repeatedly shown to honestly love Hideyoshi and doesn't insult him once, even with biased narrators. Speaking of which, when she is shown without bias in one of the stories after Umineko, she clearly tries to get along with Ange despite what happened previously. Regardless of whether you interpret Eva's love of her family to wealth or not, at least she would get to know you before blowing you off. Kyrie wouldn't even allow you to get close to her unless she had something she wanted from you. She literally murdered over half the cast including slicing Maria's throat open for extra gold.
>>14731044
Yet kyrie never betrayed Rudolf. Her whole character is based on unconditional love for him.
Eva is a control freak, if its not her way then it's no way. You ignore her rokkenjima attitude way too much in favour of her implied lovelyness off screen.
>>14731064
Inner characteristics say more than outer. Kyrie's reality is psychopathic just like her sister. Eva is more of a caring person. All of the adults have the flaws of greed, which is what led to the massacre in the first place. What actually matters is their inner selves.
>>14731077
I'd rather have a computer like Kyrie than a box of matches like Eva
>>14731064
Kyrie on the island states that she would kill Rudolf too if necessary. I'm not saying that Eva's a saint but I still believe she's more warmhearted than Kyrie.
>nobody argues that Rosa is a pump n dump
You cruel heartless fuckers
>>14731131
Rosa is a pure girl who merely dreams of swimming in jelly.
>>14731103
I'm not saying Kyrie was warmhearted, I'm just saying that until the time came for Kyrie to screw you over, Kyrie would be close to my ideal woman.
>>14731152
Very well. You can imply the same thing for Eva and the rest of the potentially violent female cast too though.
>>14730850
Prove that witches don't exist.
>>14730850
I choose Asumu. She seems nice
Excerpt from Umineko Ep.5 Book 2 Review:
>Perhaps the first clue we get that this is going to be literary analysis rather than a mystery narrative is when Erika, the obnoxious teen detective Bernkastel has inserted into the story, begins to crow about third-rate mystery novels and begins reeling off names of well-known classic books featuring serial killers. On the one hand, it is nice to see Ryukishi07 finally acknowledge the source I've been accusing him of relying on the entire time, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, but it also serves as a warning that things are about to get metafictional on Rokkenjima. That fear is confirmed when a new character is introduced, Dlanor A. Knox. Canny readers will have noticed that this is a sad rearrangement of the letters of English priest Ronald Knox, who created the ten rules that all (Golden Age) murder mysteries must follow. Continuing the parallel, Dlanor is garbed like a severely under-dressed clergyman, with keys making up a cross design on her cap, and is declared an Inquisitor, a punisher of witches. While we can see that Ryukishi07 is attempting to dramatize what is basically a debate about how mysteries ought to run and be told, his attempt to fetishize Knox's Commandments as a cute loli with a useless ruffle on her crotch just smacks of pandering
Do you agree, /jp/?
>>14731737
Is that the same bitch that wrote this?
>As for Umineko When They Cry...when the series began, it was an interesting mystery with many possible solutions, inspired by some of the greats of mystery fiction. Now? When author Ryukishi07 decided to give Knox's Commandments (ten guidelines for mystery writers) a moe personification, that was it. All along the author had been taking a supercilious tone in his commentaries and using Beatrice as his voice in the story, but with the most recent story arc to see English translation, “The End of the Golden Witch,” the plot has gone from an intriguing mystery to flat-out obnoxious as Ryukishi07 tries to taunt readers with his increasingly silly devices and annoying characters. Had this stuck to actually following Knox's Commandments instead of making then fanservice, it might have been a worthwhile read for mystery buffs. But the farther Umineko strays from its genre roots, the less interesting it is. Maybe a better analogy than “train wreck” would be that Ryukishi07 jumped the tracks entirely and is just running his train in circles on the grass, his head out the window while he crows about how awesome he is.
ANN is a good news source, but their reviews are pretty bad

Approximately how long is Higurashi? I tried searching for it, but I'm getting different numbers everywhere. One site said it would take about 60 hours, while another said it would take over 90, which sounds wrong since that's longer than it took to read Umineko
Which is the first episode they mention areca nuts in?
