Should I Re-read Umineko on the higher quality playthrough of Nobygrand or just re-read it with the more funnier playthrough of Lhcolliders?

I begin chapter 4 and I think personally that rosa isn't a bad person,I really like her for now, she repeated the scheme to maria after being b*llied by her siblings but I think that if she wasn't traumatized by her sibling she would never do that.

i'm totally against what she did and say about her daughter (that she hates her personality and that she shouldn't be born)

but she fought against demons to protect her, I think no parents would ever do that to protect their children, the fact that she protected her against those demons and even begged eva beatrice to let her daughter go. it clearly show that she cared about her daughter even if she is a really bad mother most of the time

Beato uses episode 2 and 3 tricks, yet it's implied that this epsiode would be player later. Any verifcation from Ryukishi, or it was never properly placed and should be threated as a side story?

During EP2 , there's the scene quite early on where they are discussing the origins of Halloween and such - see screenshot. I love the track thats playing, but I can't remember the name at all. It sounds familiar, so I know I've heard it before, but scanning youtube I could not find it very easily. Hoping maybe someone here knows which track I am talking about, TIA

This song is so beautiful. I am new to playing the piano and I want it to be the first song I play. However, I dont know if there is sheet music online for it. Do any of you know?

Beatrice sour cream

im currently reading umi ep 5, and im at the moment where natsuhi sees gaap and ronove for the first time.

and well, i might not understand something. because for an example, ange can see stakes of purgatory because maria describes them in her diary, right? i couldnt avoid some spoilers so im aware that yasu created them, and im not sure how maria knows about them but im pretty sure ill find out if i just continue reading.

but when it comes to natsuhi, i just cant really understand how she can see gaap or ronove. but well, as i said i might just not understand something or maybe i lack informations since i just started ep 5. but well, im fine with spoilers when it comes to it.

Just thought I'd share this, since it's something I've wanted as a tattoo for nearly 15 years now (went through the episodes as WH translated and released them).

I recently just finished playing higurashi and wanted to play umineko next. Which version of umineko should I play. Should I play the steam version, 07th mod, project umineko or the switch version. There is way more option for umineko compared to higurashi

I find myself in what I believe is the final stretch of the story, halfway through chapter 7 and with a good part of my theories already confirmed. So I feel more confident in saying my opinion regarding the work. (All i'm about to say is only my opinion, i'm not trying to say that what i say is the absolute truth, as you can see, the texts isn’t red.)

Umineko no naku koro ni is a great story told by an idiot. Let me explain, conceptually the work is brilliant, when someone else tells you about it, certainly seems like the best work of fiction ever written, but the moment you watch the power point presentation (I refuse to call it a Visual Novel, in my opinion the least that a VN should have is decision making.) it is a very heavy story whose 70% of its script can be summarized in white noise that contributes nothing except redounding to things that were already said previously. Added to that is that the author's intentions can be seen from miles away, which makes everything feel very forced. for example, Beatrice's characterization changing abruptly to a nice cute girl so that the reader becomes attached to her, or Erika being cartoonishly evil just to emphasize that she is evil and that you shouldn't like her. I understand what they are trying to say, but it's SO poorly expressed that it just goes against the whole premise about thinking by yourself.

I would add as a bad point basically ALL the romance in this story, but more than how it is written, how it is presented as something nice when at the slightest analysis you realize that they are pure power relations or manipulation of the most disgusting nature, which is fine, but overall, the way in which is codified im the media is something that bothers me a lot.

To sum it up, I feel like I have a love hate relationship with Umineko, episode 6 seemed like the worst of all and it is a very good summary of everything I hate about this work, but it is not all bad, i'd lie if i say that i didn't have fun trying to solve the enigmas that surround the rokkenjima massacre.

(Piece) Ange's world is not the real world. It's fantastic. One piece of Ange's recollections appears in Battler's recollections in EP5. Why else he rembered one of Ange's scenes he never participated? It's because Ange's world is part of the game. This draws parallels to the Himatsubushi-hen chapter in Higurashi. The plot is expanded to another time. It explores the core mystery from an outsider who was not there when the crime happens. Tohya shouldn't know that Ange was investigating the whole case but the only dot which is apparent is that she tried to contact the publishing company. This inspired him to write a loose story how Ange lived her miserable school live and how she investigated the case of Rokkenjima.

The point is the perspective of Ange is unknow. KNM speculated on this as it doesn't need to reflect the real Ange's viewpoint. Case solved.

The white haired witch on the far right is “The Witch of Greed” Echidna from RE: ZERO

The red head in the middle is “The Vermillion Witch” Circe. An OC from my web novel Hybrid.

I had this commissioned by @sumollama_ on Twitter for Halloween 🎃

After four months, I've finally finished reading the VN, and I genuinely loved it, probably my favorite piece of fiction so far, even tho I’m still a bit confused about certain parts (im kinda dull lol). I havent read the manga, but I did watch the anime about a year ago. I’m mainly confused about what actually happened during the Ushiromiya family conference.

From what I understand, “Yasu” solved the epitaph riddle two years prior to the incident, which led to her becoming the successor. It seemed like both Yasu and Kinzo found some closure after that. But then we see a montage where Yasu curses her own existence, saying shes no better than furniture and questioning why she was ever saved. This suggests that Yasu was somehow physically handicapped or incomplete, even to the extent that she couldnt make love with anyone in that body (?). So does that imply the earlier narrative was fabricated similar to how the murders were misrepresented in the question arcs with false testimonies and scheming between multiple culprits? If so, why fabricate that part of the story if Will ultimately deduces Yasu’s role in the murders anyway?

Another thing that confuses me is why Yasu says that the tragedy wouldnt have happened if Battler had returned to Rokkenjima a year earlier or later. Whats the significance of that timing? Also, Yasu renounces her succession and remains a mere servant, but she earns a strong loyalty from the other servants as Kinzo’s rightful heir. From there, I assume events proceed as they’re shown at the start of Episode 5?

So, if Yasu really did commit the murders during the conference, what would have been her motivation? And lastly, in the magic ending, does Battler’s persona essentially pass on, allowing him to reunite with his family in the Golden Land? (But what was Tohya really shown by Ange?)

Additional questions

Q1) What did Ange see in Captain Kawabata's store in EP4 ?
Q2) Who killed Ange's pursuers in EP4 ? (Were they sniped by someone but then who? By her bodyguard? How did he learn that she was in trouble?)
Q3) In EP6, why was the cousins room's window left open and Dlanor refuse to address it? (I get it that Yasu while donning Kanon's persona must have escaped from their to rescue Battler from the logic error but why? Am I missing something?)
Q4) So why did Battler not return until the day of the incident? Did he really not care or feel for Yasu (or rather Shanon) like she did? (He didnt even write her a letter, why? Did Kyrie lie about the letters and instead she herself wrote those letters?)

I would love some help sorting out these details

How would you imagine it, because that’s how I would imagine the scene? And I think it would funny as hell, if they met.

[SPOILERS FOR CORE ARCS]

i'm split between the epitaph resolution being entirely based on extremely specific cultural knowledge (+ the last stretch being very confusing without prior knowledge to how the letters are positioned in the wall)

Or the lack of clues towards the bomb, the one and only clue being the question at the end of ep4, which its easy to interpret as Beatrice asking for her true identity.

EDIT: please, stop attacking me for not liking a solution. the post was made for engagement towards a fun discussion not a sea of constant "you are stupid and never noticed X", i didnt like the solution, thats all there is to it. lets move on, please and don't come at my DM to harass me over that.
