Art Mangatrice is the greatest thing ever (no spoilers)

This is the ideal way to draw Beato, refined but still looks like she's unhinged enough to bite Battler without reason or warning.

I'm on episode 2 of the Higurashi VN and everything kind of clicks into place and it becomes obvious that Umineko is Ryukishi's 2nd series.

They're both great, but Higurashi's experience once you get halfway into the episode is just pure dread with no break from the mystery, despite each episode being less than half the length it's still heavier to read because you don't have someone like Beato or Erika to be the lovable villain; they break up the reader's tension without harming the narrative's greater scope. I do think these long sections of isolation and paranoia work for Higurashi though.

Discussion How do we feel about this theory (Ep 8) Spoiler

88 Upvotes

Ikuko ran Battler over on purpose, hoping for a miracle; he'd be brain-damaged enough to not ask questions, but still able to help with her writing. Keeping the only witness to Rokkenjima in a state of amnesia, preserving the mystery.

The Rokkenjima case would have reached a mystery fan like Ikuko within a few days. The two first met on a road, which implies Battler didn't drown and made it to land.

The timeline is plausible. It all could fit within 2-3 days of October 6th. The family still had to fly most of the way to Rokkenjima before taking the boat, so the island is a notable distance from mainland Japan. Battler's boat escape alone could account for that time.

Because the timelines matched, Ikuko could easily have deduced who he was, even if Battler hid his identity. At that point she could have advanced her mystery-writing career in countless ways, not just through vehicular assault.

Ikuko concealed the hit-and-run by swapping cars. Battler would have been in no condition to identify the vehicle that made him an incredible writer. She kept the secret because having him around was funny.

Discussion Riddle me this…

0 Upvotes

I should start by saying that, depending on if I get any comments at all, there MAY be spoilers ahead for those who haven’t finished the whole story.

That said, why is the anime considered bad? And before you start typing “it’s a bad adaptation. The Umineko anime doesn’t exist. Read the VN/Manga etc.” stop; I’m tired of seeing these repeated cold takes. I want actual answers as to why it’s considered a bad adaptation. Personally, I think the anime does a FAIR job at getting the main plot across, and I won’t shame it for trying its best to condense everything within such a short amount of time. I am also here to (hopefully lol) shut down some of the misconceptions about the alleged plot holes it has. I found it to be quite an enjoyable watch, even if it had to cut corners to get its information across. That said, I also personally don’t think it cut that much ESSENTIAL info. The only argument I can get behind is it forgetting to put a few things in red, but I’m pretty sure these are things that could’ve been addressed in the second season, if it had gotten it. If anything, that’s what I thought they had planned to do; purposely setting things up to then be explained in said second season. The other argument I could get behind as well is it rushing Episode 4 a bit too much..but again, it got its central theme across fairly well IMO. So, truly, why is it seen as such a terrible adaptation?

How do you feel about how the manga portrayed this aspect from the culprit spoilers Spoiler

Post image
13 Upvotes

In the EP 7 VN it's treated like Shannon is the person the culprit sayo wants to become, this perfect servant that everyone loves.

Confessions of the golden witch however makes everytime when sayo is recounting her personalities she refers to Shannon as herself and doesn't separate her.

Now granted Shannon was her blessed name however the manga doesn't make an effort to treat Shannon and sayo as different people and just treat them as the same, it never makes the differences the visual novel did.

Does anyone know if Singularity's playthrough includes the tips? (If there are tips)

2 Upvotes

Higurashi had all this extra content called "tips", does Umineko have that, too? Umineko was way harder to install than Higurashi, so I decided to watch it on YouTube. I found a playthrough on a channel named Singularity, which seems really high quality. Did any of you watch that playthrough? Does it include tips? If not, where can I watch them?

So the PS3 version of umineko sometimes added 3d animations in some scenes, and when they do it feels like they come out of nowhere.

Because most of the novel it's sprites and environments, so did the 3d effects ruined your inmersión sometimes

lmaoo so many parents just are in denial and reject their children feelings saying that they are lazy and annoying and were just too spoiled and that if they are so nice and should have treated us the hard way to toughen us up.

Idk what is worse, because society and people in general would treat Maria terribly anyway and mentally abuse her.

Rosa was such a bad parent and acted terribly towards Maria but at least she knew, she didn't just brush it off by saying that "she's a little girl, she has a lot of imagination that's all".

I know Spotify isn’t the most artist-friendly platform by any means but I still remember the day it got región blocked outside of Japan and was super disappointed. Hell I purchased the Katayoku no Tori EP from iTunes prior to any of these streaming sites and I lost the license to that!

Even then regrettably there’s an asteroids because the OP for the game and anime are on there, but has Ricordando il passato isn’t on there at least not yet. Either way I at least believe in miracles

Discussion DNA sequencing Spoiler

3 Upvotes

EDIT - Apparently forensic DNA analysis was basically not a thing back then and I am just dumb and mixing up my timeline.

So, like...

The police had a message bottle from the get-go.

There is no way the culprit did not leave her DNA on the message in a bottle. I mean, we are talking not just tiny skin flakes but probably smears of tears all over.

It would have been very possible for them to find the DNA of the message bottle writer, in the initial investigation. It borders on a plot hole.

There are really two ways to explain this. One is an Eva/government coverup attempt successfully disrupting this - the government does not want people to know of its monumental "losing a bomb warehouse" fuckup, Eva also wants all this to just be an accident and minimal interference with digging out the rubble-buried ingots in peace, golden magic happens, etc.

Another much funnier way is - the police sequences the DNA, figures out it is male DNA, then sends operatives out to collect a sample of every male involved, cannot find any personal belongings of Kanon/is misled by the Fukuin house in regards to his bed, gives up on him because theres no way a random-ass male servant wrote this, no males match, it's the 80s, nobody thinks of exotic possibilities like CAIS or transgenderism or whatever, without love it cannot be seen, etc.
