After 10 years is higurashi still worth watching?
You've been watching Higurashi for the last 10 years?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>140518540
It's one of the best entry-level horror.
S2 however was dissapointing.
As much as Utawarerumono, Haruhi and NHK no Youkoso.
>>140518540
S1, yes. S2, not so much, but you can't stop since S1 was so original. You could also 'play' the VN if you have extra 1000 hours and get off on telling people to "READ THE VN/LN".
No. Read the VN instead.

Everytime
Why are elevens so bad at closure.
>>140518865
Haruhi and NHK are worth watching. Underwater Ray Romano not so much.
The first season sucked but it had a top 10 ever OP
The second season was pretty good until the final arc
>>140518540
It was never worth watching in the first place, it was always on par with Elfen Lied in the "edgy shit that got popular with pleb teens" category.
I would still her horns.

>>140519970
Don't. I repeat, do not.

>>140519970
>>140519970
VNfags feel completed since they get to go muh (chinkanese double translated) source matreal and call you a pleb
>>140520121
The Umineko anime really was terrible though
If you don't feel like reading the VN then you can read the manga that was pretty good
>>140520119
Indeed
Why are people so adverse to reading VNs? It's not like you have anything better to do with your time. And the experience is usually much better.
I had forgotten it existed until OP posted this thread
>>140519687
For you.
>>140519783
This guy gets it.
>>140520425
Some people here do have better things to do, though. A lot of people do have jobs/school/Uni/whatever, and don't want to dedicate a their free time for a month or so to one story.
>>140520647
>A lot of people do have jobs/school/Uni/whatever
And they have downtime where they spend 4+ hours after they're finished mindlessly browsing the internet doing nothing. That's the same shitty excuse that people give when they say they don't read in general. Spending an hour max a day reading isn't hard.

>>140520425
If I knew it was worth the 10000 hours, but I can't take a word of an anonymous voice on the internet. Most of VN/LN crowd are elitist cunts or/and complete autists, and vast majority of /a/ are carriers of terminally shit taste. I'd need some proof and unfortunately VN isn't format that can rise interest with screenshots or webms.
>>140521471
>If I knew it was worth the 10000 hours
You do realize you can start reading something and then drop it if doesn't hold your interest, right?
>>140521676
Reading is hard work.
>>140520228
It's cause unlike Higurashi, Umineko really was made to the a work of literature.It was specifically made to be something you could read rather than watch. That said they could have done a better job on the anime.
>>140521471
Well if the VN has a decent manga adaptation or a decent looking anime you can just check out a few screen shots from the manga or some well animated scenes from the anime, and see if those seem interesting enough to check the VN out. If the anime looks halfway decent, even if it's a shit adaptation , then the visuals can at least draw you in. Higurashi has a pretty okay looking anime, so that works.
Sadly Umineko's animation isn't even pretty to look at and looks like dogshit. The manga has some pretty good visuals though, so somebody could just post screen shots of the manga to garner interest.
My daughteru is the cutest.
>>140518540
I was told to read the VN but from what I've gathered by lurking it looks like dogshit.
>>140519596
How can anyone argue furry ainus is not worth watching. Season 2, fine, but the first season?

And then you'll tell me witches exist
I think it would be nice if Rika and K1 got together even though it's basically a crack pairing, since he's the only one who can understand the bullshit she's been through.
>>140523750
It's advertised as a "sound novel". The graphics aren't the focus of it.
>>140524179
I'm not talking about the graphics.
>>140520013
I dropped this on 17th ep or so but OH DESIRE is an amazing song and a gift to humanity.

Well, isn't Tatarigoroshi-hen coming out on Steam soon-ish? That'll sure give it back some relevance.
Why is she so perfect?

>>140518540
Yes.
Daily reminder thatHanyuu a shit and Takano best girl
Also "Read the VN" posters have autism.
>>140532977
There was also this recently.
>>140533216
The VN has its moments but its mediocre and poorly written for the most part. Like Umineko and other R07 works.
>>140519687
>>140520578
>>140521234

>>140533664
>blank images
What? Can't you see them?
>>140533963
It's a direct correlation to the viewers; she makes people horny by being horny.
Is this the series that started the trend using metaphors to make everything sound more complex and intellectual as if they were gods?
Rena was the best girl, and deserved Casey's FIESTA
>>140534163

Man I don't know. Maybe she could've gotten Satoko to set up like a million traps centered around her shack, stole a gun and then just waited. Then she doesn't even have to survive, just find out who the attackers are.
She has to find herself in some situation where it's obvious that the protection isn't doing their job.
>>140537930
She gave up and stopped caring. The right situation doesn't matter when she didn't give a shit
>>140518540
Watched s1 for the first time this year actually. I was entertained. It was fun, so I would say yes.

Popsicle...
Satoko doesn't get Popsicle because the Sonozaki own the Popsicle stand in Hinamizawa.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone would be friends with Satoko if Rika wasn't her friend.
>>140518540
Man, there's something about Higurashi and Umineko, and any of Ryukishi's work specifically that really just stuck with me. It's one of the few weebshit-related things that I still think about years after I finished reading them, moreso than anything else. There's a certain charm to them that I can't seem to find anywhere else.
Does anybody feel similarly?
>>140550035
only bullies
>>140550172
Yes it is pretty unique even 10 years later, I guess it is because it manages to blend many genres and works that manage to do that always become classics at least to me
>>140550172
It's emotion. Whatever Ryukishi lacks in prose and repetitiveness, he makes up with it in emotion and reliability.
That part where Takano is running in the woods, alone, with nothing but the clothes on her back and the muddied worthless lifelong work of her grandfather. Hanyuu just asks her why did she do it? And Takano just answers that she wanted a place in the world where she could be wanted.
That came so much from the heart. You could just feel the emotion itself leap out of the story and touch you.
I love Ryukishi and all his work. They touch me like nothing else in fiction does. He hits all my fetishes, all my nihilism, my suffering, my emotions, my desires, my wish to be happy and my need to be loved.
He just has it all.
>>140550035
No. Social pressure and all that. Nobody would want to be associated with a member of those dirty Houjous.
>>140518540
No. Try the VN if you haven't done that already anon.
Or the manga. That's really good too actually.
>>140550374
The final chapters in the VN are something unique

>Worms
>Parasites
>Nanomachines>MGSV was just Medic's fever dream of his Hinamizawa syndrome
>>140550334
Looking back on it, one of the things I really liked about his work was how he could make you change the way you looked at a character, through things like showing their past and describing the situations that they were thrust in, and making formerly irredeemable characters more sympathetic and relatable.
Notable examples from umineko were Natsuhi and Eva.
Ham fists best fists
>>140519582
Not just the elevens. There's no satisfying way to resolve a premise like Higurashi. I don't think it's ever been done. The best way to go about is to explain as little of the "how" as you can get away with.
>>140550785
I honestly think it's the reason why Higurashi is liked more than Umineko. Every new episode, you found out more about a character and it changed everything you knew about them. I still find Higurashi absolutely brilliant that it's basically a harem story filled with obvious cliche characters with cliche archetypes. Dense boy goes to a new school and is surrounded by girls who all want to hang out around him. You got the tomboy, airhead genki girl, the silent loli and the bratty loli.
Then you get an episode to focus on each characters while advancing the plot more and more. They all have their problems, something they want or have lost, something that makes them flawed but still idealized in the only way anime can be.
That's why it's so great when the gang gets together in ep 8. It's so satisfying.
>Notable examples from umineko were Natsuhi and Eva.
You should add Kyrie to that list. She's the most misunderstood character in Umineko and everyone just sees her as this psychopathic murderer who can only think rationally who would femdom you. It's so sad people can't see her heart.

Thank you Sherlock.
>>140550334
That scene is perfect
What's funny though is that I might've found a few of the lines and actions cheesy if I saw them in something else. But Higurashi makes it work perfectly fine. Probably because I genuinely care about the characters in this, unlike most other fiction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuY_v9k9W0E&index=25&
>>140551263
It's because it destroys cynicism. Optimism, although weak, like friendship, will always defeat cynicism. This is why Higurashi works so well as a THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP story.
It's cliche as fuck but what actually makes it work is that Ryukishi brings down friendship to its most ugly truth; that it doesn't exist, we don't really care about anyone and just want to have fun. Rena completely shits on everyone including herself. Mion did nothing to save Satoshi, Rika did nothing, Rena did nothing, Satoko did nothing and drove Satoshi into a deeper depression.
And then, a shining hope. A glimmer of light. Optimism. NO! It might be right but it's not correct. Cynicism is weak, the easy path! Optimism is truth. Friendship is strength!
It has to be corny but said with such passion to destroy cynicism.
I have this deep sadness where I secretly desire someone to shove a finger at my face and say NO, YOU'RE WRONG, BE HAPPY, BE OPTIMISTIC. And Higurashi is that. Ryukishi is that. And I fucking love it.
I guess the right word I'm trying to convey in my rambling is 'earned'. Higurashi earned its optimistic message and emotion because it overcame cynicism and that resonates more with people.
>>140551504
>>140551632
Well said anon. I can agree with that.
Someone in the comment sections in one of my videos pointed out that Higurashi is pretty much a shounen story. A damn good shounen. Maybe that's obvious to some but I honestly didn't start reading the VN with the idea that it would be that.
Anyway, regardless, I ended up loving it too.
>>140552463
Oh yeah, for sure. That's also one of the strengths of Ryukishi. He starts off with a very simple premise and ends up somewhere completely different. Higurashi starts as a typical SoL harem story, then goes into horror and mystery, only to come out full shonen.
Umineko is the same way.
>>140544930
>>140552801
>okay Yukain, I know we've made you speak in a low voice, but could you go even lower now but still keeping the same tone of voice
>>140518540
Umineko is far better to be honest, but you should read both. Just do Umineko first because it's easier for Higurashi to let you down and prevent you from wanting to read another work from r07.
>>140518540
It's an experience. I still need to get around to playing the VN's though.

Bravo /a/.

I wish the first season had the same art style as the OVAs.
>>140561818
it's about budget too, Kira looked way better than the rest thanks to it.
i remember seeing a box set of this series in the store with risque loli art and thinking
is anyone really willing to bring this up to the counter?
>>140561934
I would bring up loli eroge to the counter and high five the shopkeeper
>>140561925
Season 1 looks like hot garbage dude.
I love how Kira have Rena looks like an actual teenager and not a stupid looking moeblob.
>>140561972
no you wouldn't
>>140561884
stupid sexy Rena.
>>140562202
They sexualize themselves!
Except Rika, you just can't do that, she's too pure.
>>140562202
Yeah mate, the waifufags did it.
>>140563092
Reminder that this never happened and was all in K1's head and that Rika would probably maybe never do that.
>>140563092
I want to stick my dick into that.

>>140564499
There's nothing wrong with her relying on her brother, and when she was under the influence of Hinamizawa Syndrome. I'll give you that aggravating the aunt wasn't the best of ideas, but it's nothing that she deserved to die over.
>>140564911
No. No no no. No one deserves to die, your stay will not enhance the quality of the thread if someone died as each person contributes to the overall environment and joy. Singular joys and pleasures are not as enjoyable as varied joys.
The thread would not be better if people with Satoko as their daughteru vanished, nor if people who loved Rena went away. Each love enhances all other love until there is only the collective love for Higurashi in union.
Partial love can only give partial enjoyment. We must all love each other in our love.

Duality requires both extremes but it doesn't preclude that I might believe one side over another, just that both extremes are correct. Denying optimism over cynicism is like denying reality itself.

I wonder where they all came from. I was the only one a few years ago.
>>140566273
It's probably just my medication screwing around with me.I've always desired to be more optimistic.
>>140566481
There were always a few here and there. Although it doesn't seem that way, she's many people's daughteru on /a/, they just don't post in Higurashi threads.
You see it a lot in those ''post your waifu, X, and your daughteru'' thread images. Satoko comes out more often than you'd think.
>>140566426
Oh, just the response in >>140565857
I was a bit confused.
>>140566481
Satoko's always been my daughteru. I just don't post her much. I think it's a protective instinct.
>>140566610
It's always good to be optimistic. There's a clear difference between having a daughteru and having a "daughteru" in the meme way.
>>140566753
You're a good man. There are too many people with the "sextako" and "Satoko is a bitch" memes.
>>140566759
Not always. Being too optimistic just sets you up for disappointment and, more often than not, blinds you from the truth. But if you don't have it, like love, it cannot be seen. It just feels better to be optimistic.
In the end, everything returns to duality.I've always considered myself to be cynically optimistic, like Rika. Always cynically examine everything but remain endlessly optimistic that you might be wrong.
>>140566966
>Rena
>wearing panties
>>140567151
There's a balance of being optimistic and realistic, but also to take into account the possibility for things to go wrong. It wasn't cynicism or pessimism that helped Rika escape.It was my fault people started calling you Bernkastel. I apologize for that.
>>140567151
Why wouldn't she?
>>140567586
Rena never wears panties.
>>140567548
No, is not.
>>140567645
Okay, if you say so anon
>>140567663
Maybe so.
>>140568120
It's similar with Rika except she only wears panties with her school uniform.
>>140562202
As I was reading the VN I wasn't even thinking of any characters in a sexual lightexcept Shion, that teasing personality, then I come in the threads and half of it consists of Anon's sexual fantasy blogs. As long as there are girls in a show people will jack off to it.
>>140568262
The unspoken rule is basically that the more you care about a character, the less you can see them in a sexualizing way.It's the main reason most waifufags cannot view their waifu sexualized.Even if most don't understand why, though some will bullshit that fapping to her is the only way of expressing your love, which is just meh.
Also, the girls were all designed to be sexualizing. I mean, come on, Rika and Satoko, two lolis, live together and sleep in the same bed. Rena doesn't wear panties and Mion is always lewd.
And Hanyuu is always horny.
>>140568398
>Also, the girls were all designed to be sexualizing.
Only if you're lewd minded. That's the same logic used by yuri/yaoifags. In a sense you've got your "lewdgoggles" on.
>>140568595
>Only if you're lewd minded.
I said 'designed to be', I never said that they were sexualized. That's the key difference. Ryukishi always teases but never makes them that way.
Unless you've only watched the anime.
>>140568398
Yeah, you don't fap to someone you respect. To me most of the cast in Higurashi feel like someone close to me, so I can't fap to them even if I try. I only fap to characters I don't give two shits about, like some whore from a flavor of the month LN or ecchi show.
>>140568595
I agree with you. /a/ likes to point at yurifags and fujoshi but most of the time they do the exact same thing with every show that has girls in it. Worst of all are the SOL show threads.
>>140568737
Well I'd have to say I disagree with you.
>Unless you've only watched the anime.
Don't insult me
Also that picture bothers me since it looks uncomfortably tight.
>>140568744
Exactly. Although I always tease and create lewd scenarios but I've honestly never fapped to anything Higurashi. And like Irie said, ''if you keep it in your head, then it's fine''.
>>140568862
To each their own. Accepting your desires does not mean that you are overcome by them.
Higurashi is kind of weird.
>>140568954
It's very possible that it just went over my head completely.
>>140569404
Yeah. Kind of.
>>140569404
It's also hilarious.
>obvious bondage rope set up
>rena just casually breaks free
As I said, designed to be sexualized but are not sexualized.
Even Rika calls Hinamizawa a village of perverts. Ryukishi knows his audience because he is part of it as well.
So i just finished umineko's VN and didn't really like the end. Is the higurashi anime actually a good adaptation so i don't have to read the 100+ hours VN just to be disappointed?
>>140571606
No. The anime fucks up the story hard and tries to turn it into generic edgy yandere shit, which is far from all there is to the VN. You'll be a lot more disappointed with the end if you read the anime than if you read the VN.
>>140571953
*watch the anime

It's fun when you read it because you don't even know what K1 looks like until part 5. He's an easy self insert that still has personality. By the end of Tatarigoroshi I felt like I'd gone through hell with him and could completely understand his fear. And I didn't even know his face.

What? Not if you read the VN! I almost cried! I was so happy they changed the ending.
I find the old art style incredibly jarring, who would be best for a remake? I think it could be either PA Works who I'd love to see tackle Higurashi or maybe Silver Link, just make it look like Non Non Biyor, incredibly misleading but that's all part of the charm.
i wasn't going to post in this thread but i'll post anyway
Higurashi is absolute trash

You can immediately know who is an animeonlyfag and who read the VN.
Everyone who's read the VN loves it because it's written by Ryukishi and follows his SoL style of being lewd but not explicit.
Though I would argue that a large part of why it gets shit is the fanservice episode. More specifically, the part with Rika. She's beloved by everyone and then you make her act lewd. A lot of people felt weird and uncomfortable. Following my unspoken rule >>140568398 that people can't sexualize someone they care about.
Everything else in Kira is great. The designs are great, the jokes are closer to the VN than anywhere else in the anime,
People bitch that Kira is a perversion, that it's not like S1 which was all about mystery and murder. It's just wrong!
Little do people know that it's closer to the source material than the anime itself.
>>140578292
Pretty much this. It's disgraceful to see people say that.
>>140578142
She's pretty fun. Amazing voice.
For example of how Kira is better. Chie is never mentioned in the first season or kai. In rei, during the pool episode, there's a joke that she likes curry and holds T-sticks the same ways Ciel holds swords. But nothing is really mentioned about who she is and the joke likely goes over people's head because she was never really in the show.
In Kira, she's there again, during the mahojo episode, insane, and bitches that everyone should eat her curry with the same tone as she does in the VN.
It's great.

I hope Bern gets a horrible fate and suffers for all the suffering she caused. And for Erika to get revenge on her for all that slave handling.
I'm still not clear on if I should read the VN

OP pls
>>140581695
I want to strangle Bernkastel until I can the the light in her eyes vanish.
>>140581728
Read the first episode. If you don't want to read the rest, then don't. You don't have to force yourself through the entire thing if you're not enjoying it.
>>140581695
I don't think you understand. Erika was suffering alone in a horrible world. Bern pulled her out and gave her a chance to find the truth that she craved. Bern is harsh but Erika could probably have quit any time she wanted. She wants to be with Bern because to her Bern is a savior.
>>140581807
>Physical torture against a witch
You're thinking so small time. The only way to kill her or punish her is to make her stop thinking. To bore her.
>>140582043
>The only way to kill her or punish her is to make her stop thinking. To bore her.
That's so unbelievable truth for us too. I get easily depressed when I'm bored and my chest starts hurting soooo very badly.
>>140582043
I just want her dead by any means.
>>140582043
I understand that clearly, She had the choice and still followed Bern.and is why Erika is a bitch, while I still like her. Doesn't mean that she can't enjoy some revenge though. Do you honestly think Erika wouldn't intellectual rape Bern if she had the chance. They're both bitches. But Erika is the lesser evil and would marry her with Dlanor.

My rage doesn't end just because it's not 'funny'.
>>140582381
What exactly did Bern do to Erika that was so bad?
She pushed her around. She put her in a timeout kakera that was so "terrible" that we never saw it. Bern is a total tsundere, she treats Lambda badly too.
I agree with the marry Dlanor though.
>>140582753
Don't make me use "THAT"
>>140582392
Erika is a slave and will always remain that way.
>>140582755
Uh, I dunno, maybe she threw Erika in 'the darkest and furthest kakera that exists?Which is simply an anology of authors who throw away their characters because they no longer find them interesting.
I like that Ryukishi likes all his characters and uses them to the best of their usage.
Why are we talking about Umineko anyway? This is an Higurashi thread god dammit!
>>140582755
I meant Dlanor, her and me. All three of us.

>>140582886
Speaking of which, what were the implications of Higurashi in Umineko's universe? I've always thought that in Umineko's world, Higurashi was simply a fictional story written by Tohya, but that would be kind of weird since it references people like Okonogi and Amakusa that are people that clearly exist in the Umineko universe as well.
>>140583181
Both are real.
>>140583181
people put real people in their fictional stories sometimes
>>140583164
Oh, for sure, she's great to use for fun and can be fun, but she doesn't deserve to have fun.
>>140583324
Don't be a asshole with that stupid dumb Erika poster pls.
>>140583181
Hinamizawa was a gameboard played by Featherine and Lambda. Featherine bonks her horn and the game continues forever. Until Bernkastel is born and guides the Rika side to victory.
And in the prime universe where Tohya writes his stuff, all of Matsuribayashi has occured previously.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think the stuff about Featherine is just guess work.
>>140583181
>Higurashi was simply a fictional story written by Tohya
No. There are references to Higurashi and Hinamizawa. Rosa even brings Maria there on vacation.
In simple terns, the implications of Higurashi is simply that Rika won and is the main kakera world, Bernkastel escaped her chains after Rei and went into the meta. You'll notice that witches attach themselves to literary concepts rather than enter the story themselves. They're both part of the story and not.
Though if you want to go all theory and meta, Akasaka wrote a book called Higurashi no naku koro ni.
Make that what you will.
One day you'll learn to love Bern.
>>140583513
>feeling hatred toward a fictional character
I have never felt hatred toward a fictional character before. Never. That's why I can't understand you.

>>140583726
Cats are always cute.
>>140583416
Restricting Erika from everything she wants is what makes her so endearing.
>>140583448
>Until Bernkastel is born and guides the Rika side to victory.
Almost accurate but no. Bernkastel doesn't help Rika, she sits in the sidelines until Rika gives her a name in Rei, so that Hanyuu has a new friend but Bernkastel escapes (she says so in her song) into the meta and hates that she never got a happy end like Rika.
The only relationship Tohya has to Higurashi is that Battler mentions in ep 1 that he read Higurashi. People associated, a long long time ago, that Tohya's broken memory created Lambda by mixing both blondes in Higurashi. This explains why Lambda acts and has memories of Satoko yet is clearly like Miyo.
But this, imo, was wrong since witches do exist and we cannot know what was written in those stories that were posted on the internet. What *we* read isn't the same as what characters in the story read on what Tohya wrote.
>>140583513
Pffft, never. Fuck that cunt. I'll never forgive her.
>>140583787
>I'll never forgive her.
Yeah, yeah. Stop playing.

To further, the manga makes it explicit that Bernkastel doesn't have a name. Rika and her meet in ep 7 in the meta. The VN is more some unknown person talking to the reader specifically but the manga is different. Rika remarks that Bernkastel looks similar. Even though Bernkastel agrees, she notices that she's not like Rika and doesn't have a name.
Rika also does not remember this conversation.
This thread is over.
>>140583787
>The VN is more some unknown person talking to the reader specifically but the manga is different.
That's interesting, you're claiming that the person that talks in the intro to Minagoroshi is an "unknown person". I have no idea who it would be if not Bernkastel. An unnamed Bernkastel as you pointed out.
Don't you think Bern or this unknown person helps out a lot then? She pieces together the XYZ theory and drops major hints.
I think the piecing together of events in Matsuri is also her doing. Because how else would these pieces be viewed and fitted together?
This is unrelated, but I think the concept of a "reader" being canonically inside the story and talked to is kind of interesting. A literal reader self-insert.
ARE YOU DENYING MY AUTHORITY?!
>>140584327
I always assumed it was some unknown person the first time I read to ep 7. You're given clues that it's Bernkastel at the end of ep 8 but nothing really stood out at the beginning of ep 7 that it was Bernkastel. Hell, who is this Bernkastel even? Just some name on some poetry. You connect two and two when Rika tells K1 about some poem but you still don't entirely know who is this Bernkastel.
>Don't you think Bern or this unknown person helps out a lot then? She pieces together the XYZ theory and drops major hints.
I don't think so. She points out obvious truths and connections but never really goes further than spelling what is obvious. If anything, it helps the idiots who haven't been clued in and nothing more.
>A literal reader self-insert.
Yes, it is very interesting. Hell, in Umineko, Bernkastel breaks the 4th wall to speak directly to you. Ryukishi really likes that.

Hey! Stop posting.
Silence. So comfy. Peaceful feelings~
>>140585176
I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always, nerds. Sweet dreams.Sorry
>>140584728
This is just a guess but maybe she was moving pieces into place in the meta. In Minagoroshi every possible event happens to converge on the same kakera. Was that really a coincidence or was she moving stuff around in the background?
What do you make of the whole Featherine/Hanyuu connection? Hanyuu has existed for thousands of years. She got her horn chipped by her daughter right? Featherine got her horn chipped at some point and lost her memory. Was it during the Hinamizawa game? Was Featherine ever confirmed to be the other player that Lambda fought against?
>>140585345
Bernkastel, at that time, was not a witch and I don't see any evidence of her doing anything. If anything, I would argue that most of the piece moving was done by Lambda.
>In Minagoroshi every possible event happens to converge on the same kakera.
That was done by Hanyuu.
>What do you make of the whole Featherine/Hanyuu connection?
It's very complicated. I'll explain later.
Long story short, imo, Lambda damaged Featherine's memory disk, the broken piece became Hanyuu and was unable to help Rika in her problem. Hanyuu used Rika as her miko to get power from the paranoia of people concerning the curse to make Rika jump kakera.
Higurashi was a game between Lambda and Featherine.
>Was Featherine ever confirmed to be the other player that Lambda fought against?
Yes, it's the badge she wears in Umineko.
why didn't they just take hinamizawa and push it somewhere else?
>>140586352
That's where it gets confusing though. Rika has known Hanyuu since the moment she was born. And Hanyuu has had that horn crack for a thousand years. Hanyuu becomes a "piece" for Featherine but Hanyuu has always been there. Haanyuu gets her horn injured long before Featherine gets hers injured. The timeline is all messed up.
>>140586858
Witches can change the world at will. Let me give you a simpler example. The relationship between Hanyuu and Featherine is similar to that of Erika and Bernkastel. Erika has a history. She was with a guy, traveled the world, etc, but she was created by Bernkastel. That happened. This is similar.
Featherine's broken piece simply affected history to how it lead up to the catbox in Hinamizawa.
>>140586610
Are you stupid? The places where we grew up retain memories, feelings and a piece of ourselves. It has an enormous and deep symbolisms. The water, the ground, the smell and the air of that place is unique and irreplaceable. You can't let it go because is like a part of your flesh and an important part of your own story. I think that's how they feel about their home. They just can't leave.
I WANT TO SLEEP
>>140587035
Witches don't exist, silly. Santa-san doesn't exist either... Sorry
Why is she so salty?
>>140587315
Hmm??? Who?
>>140587035
Fuck, that's right. Featherine is a "creator witch". She's also a stand in for R07. So maybe the entire when they cry world was created from scratch by Featherine to resemble a game. Then Lambda comes in. She's not a creator witch but she can manipulate things to give her certain success. She creates the narrative of the Hinamizawa mystery. Originally Hanyuu doesn't have that scratch. But after the incident she "always had it".
The incident where Featherine loses her memory is like the world losing it's God.
>>140587425
I'm sure this has been discussed a million times already.
>>140587315
RESPOND YOU
>>140587132
>Are you stupid?
Are you?
>>140587425
Featherine is more of a stand in for mystery writers, including Ryukishi, but mostly Agatha Christie. Do not mix witches and their worldly counterparts. Ikuko is both Featherine and not her.
>>140587663
>Are you?
Sometimes. What about you, dumb anon?
*this* is a stand in for Ryukishi. It's really hard to tell though. He's hidden really well in the story.
>>140587750

>>140588303
JUST DO IT
>>140588303
Read it but then stop before the final answer. There's a conclusion that basically gives out who's the murderer. Don't read that and see if you can find out yourself. It's honestly not really obvious though there are some obvious clues.
>mfw I've bought the Oriental Express and The The Murder of Roger Ackroy but still haven't started reading them.
>>140588301
Salt and rage? I enjoyed all those threads. Its called a joke.
>>140588421
I've already had the ending spoiled for me.
>>140588468
So what? Do it anyway.
>>140588425
Yes, and I'm laughing at it. I was just thinking that it was juju who filenamed that imagine which is why I said it was salty and rage
>>140588468
I mostly know the ending of both which is why I hasn't really read them.The narrator is the murderer of Ackroy, and everyone is in on the murder in the Oriental Express
That's all I know and I'm somewhat meh about having to read them. No clue if those spoilers are accurate but meh.
>>140588574
I didn't. You know what I think about those "pictures" and I would never put that person in shame, like you did.
>>140588511
>>140588574
I'll still probably read it at some point, I just have a lot of of other books to finish first.
Ah, I'd like to read stories to Satoko.
>>140588574I've been looking for you. What happened to that grand scheme of yours to kill ghost?

I was taken in by the moment.

That sounds fun.

Start with The Murder of Roger Ackroy and then read Oriental Express.

>>140589068
Sorry, I mean. The person you reply to is him. I just wanted to ask.
>>140589108
Oh.
Rikafag acted high and mighty a few months ago about how he had some plan that'd destroy /ghost/ and make a lot of people upset, but it seems he chickened out.
>>140588820
Hey, is this >>140589233 true?
>>140588574
Oh no, Orient is a bad one to know the ending to.
It's still worth reading because the characters are fun.And how Poirot goes about dealing with the murderer(s) that literally surround him is interesting. Reminiscent of Umineko actually.
>>140588808
I honestly got bored of /ghost/ and thought it wasn't worth the money. My masterplan was just to make it implode on itself by requesting actually good drawings (ranging price of 50-150$ per drawing, and to just fuck with some, I would go up to 200-500$) and have a fake tripname. Then, as I start getting everyone to suck my dick, I fuck shit up, get more commissions on Rika herself, hint that I've become friends with myself and see /ghost/ implode on itself.
I also basically got the IP address of half a dozen people from /ghost/ but figured it wasn't worth freaking the fuck out of people and drop that plan. I was half tempted to just either go to their house and sticky a drawing of Rika at their door and run away after ringing the door bell, or just Molotov their house, but that felt meh since I don't really care about most people.
I specifically decided to target three of the most annoying shitposters on /ghost/. Two of them were from the US (phoenix arizona and Connecticut, one was from south of France, and another one was from Argentina.
So, yeah. It would have been a pretty fun troll idea but got into a bunch of trouble with someone and got sidetracked with doing my plan.
Three part plan. Create more bullshit in the drawthreads, create paranoia and reveal I was behind it all. My hint was 'something /ghost/ hates more than me, which the answer was envy. Someone figured it out but wasn't sure.
But now, I just don't care.
>>140589427
Wow.
That's incredibly lame.
>>140589427
Christ dude. Don't use Rika's image to do stupid stuff.
>>140589427
/ghost/ is disgusting. I don't know what do you see in that place
>>140589427
Most things aren't worth your time, /ghost/ especially.
>>140589427
>implying you would actually fly all over just to do dumb shit like that
I knew you were psycho but come on.
>>140589606
he is a trustfund baby.
Also, you can just hire somebody to do that. As long as they dont touch the mailbox they cant get in too much trouble for taping a piece of paper on somebodies door.
>>140589680
Oh, right, I forgot he was living on mommy and daddy's money. That's still a beyond stupid thing to do just to prove you're a "le master manipulator" and get a few people freaked out/annoyed.
>>140589427
You really hate them, huh?
>>140589809
He's just mad that it was proven that everyone there hates him and that his advances on the 3d there failed.
>>140589870
Oh wow. The MG design for Satoko isn't bad at all.
>>140589870
It sounds like a fun plan. I never go to those threads or /ghost/ so I don't really know much about that.
>>140589956
It's incredibly cute, probably the only good one.
>>140589487
My plan or decision not to see it through?
It was basically in the same time I was feeling good and optimistic, talking how I would I should just commission a translation of Monobeno from mangagamers and then you convinced me not to give a shit about others and I just felt that you were right. Fuck helping other people.
>>140589573
Nothing, I just wanted some small retribution and see people squirm. Nothing they did ever really annoyed me. Someone can to me with a way to get the IPs on /ghost/ and thought it might be a good way to just destroy /ghost/ for good.
>>140589809
Hate? Hahahaha, nah. I don't hate anyone. I just thought it would be funny if I did it.
>>140589956
I know right? The rest aren't as good though.
>>140589870I can see a cursor.
>>140590057
>My plan or decision not to see it through?
Both. The plan is just stupid, and aside from spending time doing childish things like stalking people, none of it would bother anybody, and you're a pussy for hyping it up and then dropping it.
>>140590057
Oh well, It's a shame.
>>140590197
Don't mind him, he says a lot of shit, but he's a nice person inside.
>>140590135I know. I saved it off /jp/ like that, too lazy to find a better one.
>>140590057
>>140590197
It doesn't matter anyway.
>>140590251why are you hiding?
>>140590250
>he's a nice person
Funny, but with the things he's said on /ghost/ before, and done, that's not really true. Should probably stop shitting up the thread and giving him attention now, though.
>>140590299Hiding is comfy.
>>140590342
Please do that.

>>140590135
>I can see a cursor.
He's clicking her breast.
>>140590197
Maybe, maybe not. I found the plan hilarious. People are boring and, mostly, living somewhat boring lives. It would have been funny, but maybe that's just me. Seeing /ghost/ bitch more about drawthread drama while pulling the strings, create paranoia with some people who were the most vocal shitposters.
It's the reason I was somewhat tempted to just throw fire at their house but they didn't annoy me or made me hate them, so I felt that action was just exaggerated.
>>140590299He noticed that the cursor is on her breast and feels ashamed.
I need to find the switch
>>140590445That's because it's time to sleep. Close your eyes and forget everything.
>>140590501
It's not like it even matters anymore considering /ghost/ is completely different now.
>>140590607

>>140590648

>>140590646

>>140590699

>>140590501

>>140590782

>Try to control yourself a little.
That's boring.
>>140590864
Best friendship.Though I'm extremely cynical in ep 7 when Rika said that she's still Satoko's friend because she keeps being interesting, even after 100 years. You get bored of everyone after a certain time. It just feels like a narrative reason for Rika to still like Satoko without showing how she's important to Rika.
>>140590342
I don't know what he did. Some insults? I know that story about those kids and I don't believe it. I think he was just lying to make himself a name or some stupid thing like that. He's good person, I know it.

Explain.
>>140590910
It was horrifying.
>>140591245
Blargh. What a joke.
Everyone is disappointing the more you know them.
The only answer I have is that Rika actually lost Satoko many times before any of the events we see. In ep 8, we see that Satoko was going into the late stages of the syndrome and Takano was willing to cut her open.
Irie couldn't do it, and decided that he would run away with Satoko. Rika meets up with him basically the exact moment he starts to make up his plan of escape and tells him that if he tries to run away with Satoko, they'll both die. It's very likely that this happened many times in the early days Rika had to figure shit out. So, for a long period of time, it's very possible that Rika was without Satoko (say 5-10 years) and then figured out a way to convince Irie to save Satoko by sacrificing herself.
This lack of Satoko reinforced Rika's affection to protect Satoko and cherished being with her.
But Satoko still being interesting after 100 years? Bullshit.
>>140591273
I dont want to know more.
>>140591476
Pls stop
>>140591476
who?
>>140591273
>creepy things
Hahaha. Fucking idiot.
See, let me rephrase the context and add some obviousness that will be apparent to anyone who's read some WtC.
A kirinofag disliked me and offhandedly mentioned that the way I talked was vile. And, if she could, she would slap me using magic through the internet monitor.
I simply said that if she tried that, I would grab her hand and pull her to *my* side through the monitor and humiliate her publicly in front of others.
Now, what is that humiliation? I never said anything, I left it to the minds of people to imagine. Could it be rape? Some other terrible act? Who knows. And that, somehow, ended up being seen as 'creepy'.
People imagined their own creepiness. People, especially waifufags, are such fucking crybabies without a single backbone. It's just pathetic and sad.
>>140591618
That is a lot of projecting based off simple assumptions. I heavily disagree.
>>140591835
Is that true?
>>140591901
Let me find the post.
>>140591835
Please restrain from talking about /ghost/ drama in the Higurashi threads.
>>140591618
>Bullshit
Who's to say? Only Rika can say that.
Hanyuu is the same way. Hanyuu never got bored of existing only to Rika. Satoko is to Rika what Rika is to Hanyuu. The terror of being alone was much stronger than any boredom.
>>140591967
NO. I don't want to.
Also, by humiliation, it might be as casual as just dressing up in a maid outfit. The worst fears as those you imagine.
>>140591847
It's just a theory, not that I even believe in it since duality requires me to refute it.
The 4th year of the curse involves Rika's parents to die. But this can only happen if Rika decides to let herself be experimented on to save Satoko. And this can't happen if Rika doesn't convince Irie.
So Rika must have convinced Irie a long time ago for the curse to continue, since Rika's parents always die, as Rika says in Rei.
So, by that logic, Rika was always with Satoko the entire time.
>>140591901
Of course, and it's hilarious.
>>140591835
You also said she'd like it because she's a masochist and insinuated that masochists tend to cheat, and how funny it'd be because she's a girl. It's funny how much you desperately try to appear likable. Oh well, end of drama talk for good now.
