Yasu already had several years of practice altering their appearance and behavior trying become Battler's ideal woman before Kanon was created. Plus Genji, Kumasawa, and Nanjo were all lying to cover for them. And people can be surprisingly slow to notice something unexpected.

Thanks anon. Now it all finally makes sense.
TL;DR Alert
Some anon from the last thread asked me this:
>While we're on the topic, how many episodes do you think would be needed to adapt Umineko and Chiru well? I don't know exactly how long the VN is, but the manga has 53 volumes, which is a ton.
In this case, I will break down more or less the numbers for you:
Depending of the source material and how it is presented, the number of episodes may vary.
Normally, we have a pretty general rule people in the anime industry tend to follow for your average adaptation of a manga source or novel source.
12-13 episodes = 4 manga volumes = 2 light novels
Less or more than that indicates either rushed material or slow pacing in most of the cases.
However. works like Death Note and Bakuman for example have tons and tons of text and infodumps (exposition everywhere in every single chapter too), so, that's not always the case.
The same can be said vice-versa (One Punch Man for example almost has no dialogues in many action sequences that extends for 54 pages of purely eyegasm awesomeness with double pages and all, which is why they could adapt 8 volumes in 12 episodes without any rushed moment (besides cutting a certain backstory for being kinda polemical).
In Umineko's case, the ammount of text, necessary narrative and lots of other elements in its presentation may not only be impossible to represent in an animated format without losin a lot of the content behind it, but as well impossible to adapt in a 23 minutes per episode pacing (they would need at least 45 minutes per episode to arrange things properly and give each episode an overall acceptable format (with that I mean no weird cuts, no rushed plot-devices in order to get in a stop-point, etc...).
In this case, if I were to judge...
1. Episodes 1-4
Formula-wise:
12 episodes (23 minutes each) minimum per Arc/Episode = 4-5 manga volumes per Arc/Episode = 2 books per Arc/Episode = 1 Arc/Episode in the VN (more or less 17-25 hours of reading depending of the Arc, calculating via youtube full playthrough numbers)
My Opinion:
Some Arcs might need to use a bit more of episodes since the text quantity, infodumps, narrative and monologues are just so vast and obligatory in many cases.
6-8 episodes (45-50 minutes each) = 4-5 manga volumes = 2 light novels = 1 Arc
2. Episodes 5-8
Formula-wise:
18 episodes (23 minutes each) minimum per Arc/Episode = 6-9 manga volumes per Arc/Episode = 2-3 books per Arc/Episode = 1 Arc/Episode in the VN (more or less 20-30 hours of reading depending of the Arc, calculating via youtube full playthrough numbers)
My Opinion:
Yet again. some Arcs might need to use a bit more of episodes since the text quantity, infodumps, narrative and monologues are just so vast and obligatory in many cases.
Not only that, if they were to add the extra info from the Episode 8's manga, things could get even bigger than the expected.
Also, considering the narrative structure and overall presentation becomes so complex later on, they might need some more time to present the elements properly.
8-15 episodes (45-50 minutes each) = 6-9 manga volumes = 2-3 light novels = 1 Arc
Do the math and you will get pretty much a long-running anime series or a "Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu"-like OVA series.

Is it confirmed the they are "the same characters"?
I wonder what the aliens in Vespio are going to look like
>>15475643
Depends on what you mean. If you mean same personalities, it's not guaranteed. He likes to reuse characters, but also gives them a different role and personality.
"Further questioning included such topics such as the connection between the characters of Erika Furudo and Bernkastel from Umineko and Rika from Higurashi. Ryukishi sees his characters as actors and compared using the above characters in Umineko as being similar to Harrison Ford playing both Han Solo and Indiana Jones, in that the person behind the role is the same, bu the character they are playing in each movie, or in this case game, is very different."

>>15475689
Yea, I was inspired by that. Why not reuse the same characters in a story if we do that with actors in movies and plays?
I am still curious because it seems that he always gets something crossover in his stories with the metaworld and Witches. Always understood it as actors giving opinions on the script and changing it if the author agrees etc.
>>15475414
Glad to see Chiester 410 back
This shit is going to be so strange
So the sprites of the main characters in Country Girl and Gakuen Renai are drawn by the other artists, while the rest of the sprites are drawn by Ryukishi?Why?

Jesus fuck Ryukishi.
Is this considered WTC 5?
>>15475432
What's interesting is that these characters are from Tonokawa's story, and not Ryukishi's
>>15475775
It's never been refered to as that, so probably not. The VN is releasing next month, and the manga has been running for a while, so if this was WTC5, I think they would have revealed so already
>>15475432
I fucking love how he even kept the troll face from Umineko. Even if the story doesn't make any sense this is still gonna be entertaining as fuck. Never change Bern. She better mess with the world really good.
>>15475775
Ryukishi said it was the next WtC in all but name. And then he also released an actual new WtC on the sidelines.
>>15475450
>you are old father william
"You Are Old, Father William" is a poem by Lewis Carroll that appears in his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Hmm.
I'm really curious to know how Alice in Wonderland fits in all of this.
>>15474594
You'll notice that this answer was done with the blue truth, not the red truth. This does not confirm anything. The blue truth does not confirm anything to be accurate. It only serves as a plausible answer for the red truth. Just like small bombs truth being retarded doesn't confirm anything as well at the end of ep 4.
>>15475828
I think Battler would have said something against it if it was wrong. I mean, he almost got killed, it wouldn't really make sense to stay silent about it
>>15475836
And Beatrice would have said something if small bombs were wrong. He didn't want to reveal anything.
> I mean, he almost got killed, it wouldn't really make sense to stay silent about it
So did Beatrice in ep 4 and most of Battler's answers were all wrong, as confirmed by Lambda and Bernkastel later in that episode. Incidentally, Beatrice actually died keeping silent of the real answer, revealing only that Kinzo was dead from the start.
Erika giving blue truths is as accurate as Battler giving blue truths. Blue truths are like shotgun blasts. They're not made to be accurate, even if you shoot pointblank. The only thing that can confirm anything is your own hypothesis gold truth or a red truth which will never be given.
Do not rely on the blue truth to give you the answers, and do not accept answers which perfectly line up with your own view of things. Don't accept this as a truth unless you think it is, not because those are Erika's answers.
>>15475845
>Don't accept this as a truth unless you think it is, not because those are Erika's answers.
But because you have conviction that those are the answers.
>>15475845
>So did Beatrice
Yeah, but she wanted to die. You can see later that Battler is struggeling to come up with a red truth to refute Erika's blue, so if she was wrong then why wouldn't he just say so?
>>15475858
>Yeah, but she wanted to die.
No, she wanted someone to figure out the mystery. This is why Claire was happy Will solved it in ep 7. It was never about dying, but solving the answers.
>if she was wrong then why wouldn't he just say so?
Because he doesn't want to give up the answer. Just like Beatrice. Hell, even that red truth he gives doesn't confirm anything and is shot down by a blue truth which doesn't confirm anything as well.
>the phone call was made by no one
>it was done by trick X
Which, again, doesn't reveal anything but implies a fuckton
>You can see later that Battler is struggeling to come up with a red truth to refute Erika's blue
No he's not, he's even saying in that image that he wants to limit a red truth that doesn't harm Beatrice. A red that doesn't reveal too much but still reveals a lot that can harm her a bit.
>>15475882
So you're saying that Battler would rather die than give up the answer to save Ange? That doesn't sound too convincing
>>15475882
>the phone call was made by no one
I'm curious, what's your explanation for it, if it wasn't Yasu?
>>15475913
>Battler would rather die than give up the answer to save Ange?
That's meta-Battler, not Battler. And yes, Tohya wanted to save Ange but also protect Beatrice's mystery, which is why he stole the diary.
>It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound convincing,
It's exactly how it happened.
Battler gave a red truth and tried to limit it so that it wouldn't hurt too much Beatrice. Meaning that it wouldn't reveal too much.
Erika gave a blue truth to counter it which may or may not be accurate.
And Battler submitted defeat to not give out more answers, because the only way to counter a blue truth is to either say nothing and take the pain or give a red truth to counter it.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound convincing because it's similar to how battles have been fought between Beatrice and Battler. It's just that Batler is now fighting on behalf of Beatrice at the end.
>>15475927
Trick X. The point I'm making isn't that the answer isn't Yasu but that other answers are possible and that the implication given is that the answer can only be Yasu.
For example, it could be a tape recording. It could be as Erika says, but with someone claiming the identity of the baby in name only to fool Natsuhi. Trick X.
The point I'm making is that the blue truth implies a fuckton Yasu but doesn't confirm it because the blue truth is not the red truth. Giving an answer in the blue truth that does not get confirmed is as likely as small bombs being the answer.
>>15475941
>it could be a tape recording
But someone would still have to make the call, right? The red truth says that the 'caller' was none of the 18, and as far as I know, tape recorders couldn't make calls by themself back in 1986
I can't really think of any explanation for this, except for Yasu
>>15475951
Regardless, I'll cheat and just say ''I refuse to explain'' like Beatrice.
>>15475951

>you were born just in time to create dank TRI memes before it's even out
>>15476184
>Ryukishi is too irrelevant nowadays.
Yeah, that's why MangaGamer are making improved translations of both Higurashi and Umineko at the moment
>>15476195
The west is irrelevant.
>>15475793
There's no evidence that states Hotarubi is the new WtC, unless the people that have read the released chapters can say otherwise. I've always thought it was just some side-story.
>>15476212
R07 is one of those people who actually pays some attention to his western audie6
>>15476212
I guess that's why he went to western cons for interviews, huh?
>>15476184
>Ryukishi is too irrelevant nowadays.
Yeah, that's why he has three (soon four) manga running at the moment
>>15476232
No one cares about them.
Just look at how few tweets there were about trianthology after the OP was released and the site was updated.

>says he's no longer sure if he can write as much as he could when he wrote Higurashi and Umineko

>says he's not even sure he can release two stories per year, and that he might just release one story per year
>then he releases four stories at the same time
>>15476240
I don't care how popular it is so long as I can read his work.
He's the only author I personally really love.
>>15476244
>Start the original vs ps3 sprite discussion
Pffftt, that's old argument.
The new argument will be which one of the three art styles in TRI is the best.
>>15476247
I too enjoy his work, but people seem to delude themselves concerning his relevance in these threads.
>>15476254
>3 art styles
>Each arc has a different UI
>The lead males are all basically the same guy except each drawn by a different person
he's making fun of it at this point
>>15476247
>then he releases four stories at the same time
He's also writing some bonus VN that's included in one of the Rewrite Blu-Rays
>>15476240
Makes me sad, desu.
Even if people dislike Ryukishi's works, you honestly can't deny that at least he thinks outside of the box, he doesn't just churn out the same formula over and over again. And I guess that's what I admire about him, he just does his own thing.
>>15476247
Writers inspiration is just like that. One moment you're in the park feeding pigeons, next moment you're putting intriguing stories on paper. The life of a writer is full of uncertainty, so lambda is definitely not a writer
>>15476262
Deconstruction of the art genre6
>>15476255
I don't care about his relevance as a measure of his worth. Ryukishi is content with working in the sub culture he's in and I get to read it. That's all that matters to me.
>>15476265
I wonder if he really writes like Featherine. First writing on paper then rewriting on a computer. The guy writes like a madman.
>>15476270
I know Ryukishi is full of brilliance, not just by reading his works but I saw it in his eyes. You know that feeling when you love something so much that you try to describe something to someone, like a game or whatever, and you start shacking uncontrollably while getting your point across that the thing is so good that they have to try it?
In 2012, when Ryukishi went to France to meet with Witch Hunt, someone asked him about Rose Guns Days. The asker incorrectly said the name of the title and Ryukishi immediately corrected him while ranting about the ideas, inspiration, stories, etc.
You could see the glow and passion in his eyes. It was beautiful.
I don't think Ryukishi is ever out of ideas. The amount of stories, plot, characters, setting and themes he makes is always new and uniques. They're never the same.
There's no other author I can think of that can jump so many different type of stories.
Ryukishi probably got sick, burned out and got his mojo back.
>>15476247
Trianthology has been in development for a very long time though.
>>15476280
>when you love something so much that you try to describe something to someone, like a game or whatever, and you start shacking uncontrollably
Every time someone asks me for tips on the mysteries in umineko
>>15476287
It was supposed to be released in winter 2014. Written by him alone. That's when I think he completely burned out. He got other writers to help him and probably worked on other things. Romeo said that the structure of TRI was very good, probably enough to give a good direction of where to go, but enough to give writing styles to each author.
>>15476304
This is what I've kinda been worried about. It'd be quite weird if each of the three stories had a different feel from each other that it detracted from the entire thing, and the other writers may have gone a different direction and did different stuff than Ryukishi originally planned, but I'm sure that they cross-checked often.
>>15476309
The problem I had was how poorly coordinated Rewrite was. However, the way Ryukishi structures his stories is with checkpoints. You can really feel those in his short stories.
He probably has X will happen, then Y, then Z, etc. Write jokes or whatever to get to those points without breaking the direction to go there.
Reading the manga of TRI makes me feel that's what's happening.
I'm not worried at all. Plus Ryukishi wrote it and planned it years in advance, so he knows how the story will go.
Here's hoping for a problem in the story to arise, the screen going dark with the letters <good> in the middle of the screen and some unannounced zts track to start playing.
I want to believe
>>15476328
I want to scream as loud I did when I read the ending of ep 3, or the tea party in ep 7, or the pudding scene in RGD. I'm hoping TRI has something as emotionally shocking as that.
Art is measured by how much it can give an emotional reaction to the audience. The worst thing art can do is nothing. To have wasted your time for nothing.
I think it's the reason I love Ryukishi so much. His goal is to give emotional reactions and to make his stories as much of a rollercoaster as possible.
There's truly no one else like him.

R07 isn't Erika, anon. Think about it:
>thirsts for Bern
>only gets along with girls
>only female furniture
>the only male she interacts with is one she wants to dominate and reverse gender roles for
She's a femanzi due to the cucking. :^)
Anyone else find the older Chinese sister from RGD to be one of the best characters of the VN?
Not too meek, not too Erika. Just the right balance
>>15476948
>miss why are you naked?
>I'm going to fall to my death in the water and then kill a bunch of rich people by decapitation for fun
>alright then
A meta detective is just hilarious the more you think about it
>hi I'm here for the murder and crime scene
>uh, there hasn't been a murder
>oh yeah, it always happens AFTER I arrive, I guess I'll just wait a bit
>okay...?
>>15476952
>R07 isn't Erika
I never said he was either.
Ryukishi is pure duality. He makes his women empowering so that it's great when they're broken.
>>15476941
You can't prove that.
>>15476959
>>15476976
Don't make me say it in red, erikafags.
>>15476953
The best character are the villains. And I preferred her brother.
That Chinese guy who liked clocks was the best character by far. Going from goofy to deadly serious at the drop of a hat, being all whimsical and shit pretending he doesn't give a fuck about anything.

>>15476938
Talking about it, where do we find translators and are they usually expensive?
>>15476971
She doesn't even wear a school swimsuit in the manga
>>15476985
You can't prove she isn't wearing another under it.
>>15476995
So you're saying we should forcefully strip Erika naked to confirm the truth?
>>15476998
I kind of like where this thread is going
>>15476998
>I-idiot! P-pervert! It just feels more comfortable this way! That's all!
>>15476998
Now we're talking.
>>15476983
Well, WTDND translated the manga of Umineko and some of Higurashi, but I don't know if they would do Hotarubi
>>15477013
Someone bought that wallpaper? Rare Erika get!

It's really interesting to see Ryukishi's art side by side with another artist's work. I really prefer his sprites, though.
>>15476938
I just use http://tigoristranslates.com/
For my doujins that I want translated.
>>15477022
It's an edit an anon did, but still way better than SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE.
>>15477022No, some anon removed the SAMPLE text in Photoshop a while back
>>15475799
The twintail girl's name is Alice and the rabbit girl has a pocket watch motif, so I think theyre connected possibly like how Umineko and The Divine Comedy are
>>15477034
I wonder if they're witches. It's obvious they're connected to the meta.
>>15477030
>>15477031
Ha! You fell for it. It was me who did the edit, I was just praising myself and you dim witted goats fell for it
>>15476141
for you
>>15476188
This makes me happy because I missed out on Higurashi and Umineko when they were released
>>15477025
>$1.8 per page
>first chapter is 62 pages
>$111 for the first chapter alone
That would get pretty expensive after a while. We don't really know how long it will be either
>>15477043
This is proof that the crowd around here doesn't change
>>15477055
We could split the cost. Start a Kickstarter maybe
>>15477055
I'll pay for it whenever I feel like it.
>>15477065
>implying it isn't all a ruse and anon didn't do shit but is reverse trolling people into being trolled
>>15477043
Whoops, you got me. I sure do feel stupid now.Thanks again. Unless you're messing with me both ways, in which case I hope a goat bites your dick off.
>>15477069
I don't think Kickstarter would allow it, since it isn't an official translation. Could probably be done on some other site thoughOr we could just wait for Rikafag to commission it, but who knows how long that will take
>>15477055
Just get a novice to translate it for free. Eventually someone more fluent will get so frustrated that they'll make corrections and we'll end up with a free quality translation.
>>15477118
Sounds like a job for /jp/-man!
>>15477118
>Just get a novice to translate it for free
But where do we find one of those?
>>15477025
>Include the full work to be translated
Does that mean you need to give them the raws? Because there aren't any online, except for chapter 1
Anyone else feel like R07's Characters are like ongoing jokes? Bern, beato lambda. You're sure to see some parody of a character with every new work that R07 puts out
Relistening some of my old songs that I used to listen to, I stumbled upon avenged sevenfold - fiction
Maybe it's just my chubby out speaking but I had forgotten how well I could immerse myself in the seacat world with this song
Has anyone read the 'Country Girl' manga? After hearing the news about Trianthorogy I read some of the chapters today, and to be honest, I wasn't really impressed by it. It has the typical Ryukishi tropes of bullying and suffering, but it all just seems too rushed. It jumps and shifts tone way too quickly and it makes all the drama that the story is presenting feel disjointed and impassionate, and I can't really invest in it.
Is it supposed to be an actual 1:1 adaptation of the story, or is the manga just supposed to be the VN story in summary?
>>15476669
you have to keep believing anon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deksURtln_o
>>15477184
We won't really know until the VN is out. I would guess that the manga probably leaves some stuff from the VN out though, especially since it's kind of like a commercial for the main product
>>15477181
I used to spend hours reading theories to AFX's Analord.
>>15477196

Good times
Good night seacats. Snug tight.
May lady lambdadelta-sama grant you certainly cute dreams tonight
What was the deal with the doll in Watanagashi-hen anyway? So, Mion got sad because Keiichi didn't see her as a woman, then she talked to Shion, and why did Shion just decide to kill everyone after that?
>>15477197
I can definitely see a really good story underneath, but I guess the manga just feels too rushed for me. I'm gonna reserve my judgments for later, however, since I don't really know where the story is going to go.
>>15477152
There are some scans in korean, so maybe we should hire a korean translator?
>>15477319
The VN will definitely be of a higher quality than the manga. Just look at Higanbana.
Why is R07 so shit at endings? It's like he has all these good ideas but no closure.
>>15477368
Indeed. Some people think Umineko's ending is even worse than Higurashi, specially right after EP8 was released.
>>15477382
I've never understood why people hated Umineko's ending. It gave a reasonable explanation for why the story was written the way it was, and caused you to think about the entire story in a different way, underneath another layer.
I'm not sure what ending people were expecting.
>>15477470
The same thing people were expecting from MGS2, and didn't get for pretty much the exact same reasons
>>15477470
From what I've heard, a lot of people disliked how the ending didn't give all the answers straight up. I guess they were expecting everything to be solved by the end, like in a proper mystery story
Of course, that doesn't really matter anymore, after the manga was finished
>>15476062
Motherfuuka
Bern is a fucking troll in this VN as well confirmed.
What a lovely story
>>15477518
I hope we'll get to choose which girl the protagonist fucks before they all get killed by the Jabberwock
>>15476262
Knowing Ryukishi, it's possible this is some kind of a certain element deconstruction.
>>15477547
In RGD there was a mix of sprite art due to money issues
>>15477560
>due to money issues
Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire one artist instead of three?
>>15477470
Or maybe they just expected the story was something more epic than some delusional maid with identity issues who got a broken heart.
>>15476708
Ookami Kakushi was a very good VN.
The anime was an adaptation as terrible as 11Eyes though.
>>15476262
It doesn't stop there. Rural Bullies has the usual Ryukishi filters for the background, Galge has more typical higher quality anime backgrounds, while Planet of the Apes has early '00s CG backgrounds.
>>15477574
But it's not just his work. the other artists could have some long term contracts with the writers. That would make a bit of sense monetary wise and theme wise since R07 probably does his sprites of background characters for peanuts
>>15477596
>>15476916
Very few people buy Monthly Action, and much less people publish dem RAWs of it on the internet either. The translators are probably waiting for the tankobon version to be released, so just wait a little more, anon.
>>15477615
I'm talking about Rose Guns Days, which also had three artists
>>15477322
THIS!
>>15477635
>three artists
Rose Guns Days had 7 artists. Not sure why though
>>15477667
Not actually sure about R07 having monetary issues then. In fact, he has many different people illustrating his works for him in manga format (even though it's more of a contract with Square Enix in that case).
Even though he is not as popular since he stopped otaku-pandering like he did in Higurashi, I'm pretty sure he is full of contacts and people that would do the art for him for a reasonable prize.
7 different artists for a VN indicates they are much likely friends of him, in my opinion.
>>15477702
>>15477702
>Even though he is not as popular since he stopped otaku-pandering like he did in Higurashi
This gold truth hurts my soul...
>>15477702
>much likely friends of him
Some of them were people who has drawn manga adaptations for him previously, so that's very possible
>>15477702
>>15477723
What do you mean? Umineko still had fanservice, it had cowtits, lolis, maids, a boring dude surrounded by girls (sure, there were other men, but Battler interacted the most with girls, specially in the meta world), stupid shounen fights, etc.
>>15477599
>early '00s CG backgrounds.
What are those?
>>15477917
I think he meant "not as much".
It's pretty clear the "fanservice" we have in Umineko is not even 5% of the content. Higurashi in other hand...
>>15478026
Huh? 5% is a lot, considering just how big Umineko already is. I would give less than 2%.
>>15478020
Play the Muv Luv Trilogy. Nuff said.
>>15478020
I think he means that the backgrounds in Vespio look like a PS1 game
>>15478048
I already have but I have terrible memory and can't remember it. The UI does look a lot like Muv Luv's though.
>>15478048
Even Muv-Luv's backgrounds don't look as bad as Vespio's. And at least Muv-Luv has the excuse of being 10 years old
