Me in the middle.

Me on the left

The original sprites were SO much better than the PS3 ones.

Lambda is fucking hot.

>>14940626
I would fuck Lambda.

Good job OP, really fast thread.

Now keep the thread clean with no shitposting.

>>14940640
Would her pussy be sweet?

>>14940626
I'd be fine with Jessica off to the left there.

>>14940647

The PS3 sprites were (objectively, subjectively, literally, virtually realistically, mentally and naturally aesthetically) SO much better than the original ones (to be honest).

>>14940626
Lambda is stacked!

>>14941130
This desu

From the last thread a question.

Who celebrity (actresses for example) would fit Bern or Lambda?

Meanwhile I thought about one actress for Lambda I think.

Lambda I would have an wild guess at Brea Grant when she was on her 20s.

>reading chuunishit

>>14941192
Magic isn't real, you must have the wrong thread

Check the Type Moon general

>>14941137
I want Lambda to give me a paizuri.

Didn't think I'd ever be able to say that but my dick will forever be hard because of it.

Isn't it possible for Sayo to actually kill everyone, but her other persona, Beatrice, to come out of her like with Eva-Beatrice and create the tale for Battler in the Golden Land so he could discover the truth?
This could keep both magic and mystery components in while still having both being true in certain parts of the story.
In other words, Sayo's love and hate for Battler created Beatrice, an actual magical being, and created the entire game for Battler, with certain parts of both the mystery and fantasy aspects being true, such as Sayo killing everyone in the "truth", but still having magical aspects like the court scenes, entire thing with Battler and Beatrice, and all the demons/furniture be "true"/"real".

Umineko is honestly a 10/10, if you don;t like the second have you are a fucking baka.
Also the ps3 sprites were shit

>>14940607
>>14941130
>>14941364
Both sprites are good in their own ways.
For example, the original had great expressions (see pic), were made by Ryukishi himself, and fit the story itself a lot, but had dull coloring and the proportions were a bit off.
And the PS3 sprites had good shading and coloring, a professional style, and generally more clean/tidy than the original. However, they also left a bit to be desired with the expressions, most of them being copy and pasted directly down for nearly every single one, as well as falling a bit short when portraying and delivering the emotions shown (see pic, again, to compare).
tl;dr - pls stop the fighting, even though we're only 20 posts in

>>14941393
I really don't like how chubby and childish Erika looks in PS3 version, always envisioned her as at least a teenager

>>14941438
The same way they butchered Bern and Dlanor in order to pander to the mindless loli-obsessed with equally mindless design decisions.

>>14941438
Pretty sure Erika is supposed to look relatively petite.

>>14941455
I agree with Bern at least. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I prefer her anime design.

>>14941476
Yeah she was always meant to be Petite, but she's still meant to be obviously a teenager. I don't mind making her small, but I feel like other mediums, some of the manga and the fighting game, at least make her look like a small teenager without looking too childish.

Why Seacats = Umineko?

Ideally the other Suig cosplayer who does the god tier Bern. (not MercuryGin) the other one. I forget her name.

>>14941775

I keep forgetting Ange is even in that picture. She looks like furniture.

>>14941781

If Battler represents Kinzo and Erika his second wife, then who does Bernkastel represent? You know, giving Erika the idea of forcing Kinzo/Battler into marriage for the title of the Ushiromiya family head.

>>14941816
Someone outside the people that we know. Or perhaps no one but herself.

>>14941816
It could be Kinzo's family. Didn't they force him to marry her or something like that?

>>14941816
No one. She's an actually existing meta character.

>>14942019
But the meta characters don't actually exist.

>>14942202
Just like the non-meta characters.

In the manga they say she is a year younger than Maria.

That would make her 8.

>>14942846
>manga they say she is a year younger than Maria.

I know it's easy to spread lies on the internet, but come on. At least post the manga source page

>>14941347
I thought that was what happened. Or the Senate of Witches, Featherine, ect are real and made Beatrice 'real' in honor of her catbox mystery.

What's the name of the song that plays when Leviathan is fighting Kyrie and Belphagor is fighting Rudolph?

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

>>14943890
It's in Ep.5's manga somewhere. I have the Yen Press books and remember reading it somewhere in there.

Speaking of Episode 5's manga in particular, it amazes me how different I read into everything now that I know what characters represent and what the answer is.

Bernkastel being a cold hearted mystery fan for example. Typically when presented with a murder mystery I immediately come up with several answers instead of just embracing the mystery and waiting for the story to move on, probably just to boost my ego. Bern does the exact same thing when presented with the 1st Twilight. Considering I hate Bern, it seriously gave me a reality check.

>>14944533
>Considering I hate Bern

How can you hate someone so cute?

>>14941682

I still find it weird that we use "Seacats" instead of the literal translation of Umineko which is "Seagulls"

>>14944602
it's a joke you mouthbreather

>>14944533
>It's in Ep.5's manga somewhere. I have the Yen Press books and remember reading it somewhere in there.

I own them too, and they say nothing of the sort. Maria just mentions that she's younger than Jessica.

>>14944533
>Considering I hate Bern

Falling for the "I am evil and cruellest witch in the world!" meme

Witches are the Actor form for R07, it obvious that they also pretend to be something for reasons (or just for the lulz).

Metaworld/Witches are roleplayers roleplaying roleplay.

>>14944726
I really like this interpretation.

How do I explain this to someone without calling it complicated or deep? I don't want to sound pretentious.

>>14944533
Funny in the VN proper they say that Erika is somewhere in her early teens, closer to Battler and Jessica's age even.

What songs do you think fit the story or characters of Umineko?
I feel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRwgmgEeT8c
or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_oDotmGE2U are good songs for Yasu.

>>14944726
Yeah a lot of meta world characters do that sort of thing, witches or not. Even Beatrice herself with the whole "I'm an evil monster who wants to give you endless torture" is pretty much taking on a role.

The meta world is full of roleplayers, while the gameboard is where the main roleplay happens.

>>14944969
Don't see how bad you could explain this its pretty simple.

R07 confirmed the characters are like actors, somewhere I also read that Lambda was pretending to be a good hero or something like that for Ange and Battler in the end of Umineko? Or self sacrifice or whatever.

Bern was pretending to be very evil because, they needed a villain somehow, and Bern was a protagonist on Higurashi of sort (this is just my opinion now). I can't believe Bern is just retardedly evil doesnt make sense with Higurashi and I can't swallow that "100 years of rika pain and sadness condensed into Bern".

R07 confirms the actor factor, its also kinda confirmed for witches to pretend to be something else as a strategy or just for fun (this meaning they are rolepalying).

I have a huge feeling Lambda is more mature then Bern, for some reason, probably because she is in "the business" longer then Bern, and Lambda acts like a 5 year old most of the time.
This feeling of seeing beyond the characters with R07 that makes this whole thing amazing.

And as a roleplayer as myself, I consider the Roleplayer Theory amusing.

>>14945028
Since Higurashi is an actual novel in the setting, Ikuko must have taken Rika and slapped her cat's personality on top of her

>>14944383
>>14941347
In truth, Umineko is making the point that both the magical and mystery sides have perfectly valid meta-explanations for the entire story, including its meta element.

It could be meta-textual elements written by Ikuko and Toya in their stories, and Bern is a cat.

Or it could be that the Senate and the Witches exist, and everything is a powergame between witches.

Episode 8 is really intricate in allowing both explanations on the same time, and in switching from one explanation to the other, sometime repeatedly in the same scene. Ultimately, you need to believe that both are true somehow, especially when they contradict each others. I don't know many works that cultivate ambiguity in the same amount as Umineko.

>>14945131
>Higurashi is an actual novel in the setting
Apparently it's an anime as well

Jooji deserved better

>>14945135
I think that's what some people tend to ignore in Umineko, and they specifically try to cast aside ALL meta world character besides the council of witches half the time. I think there is a pretty big divide between the two, so it's easy for them to coexist without ruining the point of the other.

>>14945753
Thank u familia

>>14945715
As Battler himself says, it's only possible because only the knife can cut the cheese. It wouldn't actually work

>>14945715
If the type of cheese isn't specified, it can also work with processed cheese.

>>14945758
I'm just speculating here, but my guess is because the seacat threads on /a/ have become quite dull recently, so migration has taken effect.

>>14945852
Threads here last longer and are easier to keep going, so I find it's better to have it here. We're also still getting more people curious about seacats and wanting to check it out.

Plus we have Hotarubi No Tomoru Koro Ni coming next week that's directly connected to Higurashi and Umineko, which gives us something to finally look forward to in the very near future.

>>14945347
I've seen worse in the other side, people casting aside all the mystery elements for powerlevels. An example: the red key is pretty obviously a metaphor for the red truth that kills the mystery, i.e the ultimate explanation that will kill Beatrice. Thus her destructive power is infinite because, from the mystery meta-textual explanation, nothing can/will stand the revelation of the ultimate truth. From this literal interpretation, the red key has no power besides revealing the truth that kill witches.

But people very, very frequently set aside that explanation and goes for the magical explanation: the red key is an ultimate conceptual weapon able to kill everything without hope of defence, because magic.

Same thing for Bernkastel (a cat, a concept, the avatar of the readers of the story, or an ultimate witch able to conjure big bangs from nothing?), Lambdadelta, Featherine (author avatar or ultimate omnipotent being?), and everything else really.

Even the fight between Bern and Lambda can be understood as a battle of will between two readers invested in the story, a battle between conceptual beings summoning illusionary what-if scenario in their try to kill each other, or a battle between two omnipotents witches summoning entire universes and crushing them down. Guess what people want to believe.

>>14945852

Speaking of translations, there are already 4 chapters of Trianthology (or Country Girl if you want) out, aren't anyone going to translate those? I'm interested in seeing what it actually is

http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/comic/19599

>>14944726
If she was just pretending everything that's kinda shit and ruins her character.

I always figured her talk of "being the bad guy this time" in the EP8 Tea Party was just meta-meta-commentary on how her and Lambda basically reversed the roles they had in Higurashi.

>>14946040
How does it ruin her character?

She already looks dumb like we see beyond EP4

>>14946047
Because if everything we saw of her personality and motives was an act, then everything that made her interesting was also an act.

I liked how the story established that despite her and Lambda's many similarities, they really are quite different. Like Lambda (and like a few others in Umineko), she uses the enjoyment she gets from the suffering of others to escape her own trauma. Unlike Lambda however, she's so thoroughly dead inside that she's incapable of getting emotionally invested in almost anything else. I do think her feelings for Lambda are genuine, but even when Lambda is killed, she just laughs it off.

I'm just saying that if she was faking literally all of that for shits and giggles, I just think that makes her boring. And if Lambda's the same way, that's even worse.

>>14946113
But that is how she is, boring.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this being the first non-H game DMM has ever developed. And from what I've heard, a lot of Japanese people were disappointed it didn't have any actual sex scenes

>>14947750
If you mean a new anime specifically then that won't ever happen. From what I understand, the Umineko anime failed pretty hard, while the Higurashi anime was very successful

There's still some other Umineko related stuff being released though, like that book that was released in December and won't ever be translated

>>14947773
We never know if a new studio will somehow pick up the series and start from scratch. That's almost impossible, but stranger things have happened. Such as parasite getting an anime around 20 years after it came and ended.

>>14947813
I guess it's possible, but it seems pretty unlikely. But then again, Osomatsu-kun got a reboot last year, despite the manga ending in the fucking 60's, so who knows

>>14947834
Yeah. If Umineko were going to get an anime reboot, which studio would you like to do it?

>>14947847
Pic related for memes or Production I.G

Production I.G is my perfect choice.

>>14947850
If Ufotable picked it up that it's be kind of funny considering the original fate anime was DEEN too.

I was thinking madhouse, not because it's particularly good but because I think it could do a halfway decent job, but now that I think about it production IG seems like the perfect choice, at the very least we'ed get some good animation, and there's a chance they wouldn't cut too many important details.

I was also toying with SHAFT but that'd be more of a hit or miss. On the plus side a lot of the imagery for the meta world would be great, and the red and blue truths would be handled perfectly, on the down side it would mostly be a slideshow and the quality would generally be mixed, if not shit a lot of the time.

>>14947847
DEEN of course. I'm sure they would do a great job with Umineko

>>14947914
You forgot Erika picture there.

>>14947850
I agree that Production I.G sounds good, but how many episodes would it need? The old anime seemed kind of rushed at times

>>14947948
i would almost say 30 episodes would be ideal, but the problem is that certain chapters would need a LOT more time than others, and I feel the drop-off rate would be immense during Chapter IV's Ange arc

should i follow her?

>>14949155

The important part was translated months ago.

Why was Rose Gun Days so underwhelming?

>>14949383
It had a slow start and Ryukishi had to rush the ending, but everything else in-between was great.

Has the manga gotten all the way to the end yet? Maybe the ending will be expanded on like it did for Umineko.

>>14949383
Because it wasn't a horror/mystery genre and it didn't have any Ryukishi's traditional troll faces.

>>14949442
>didn't get to Wang

>>14945981
>atheism
i think erika's more luciferian than atheist. there's not that much difference, but luciferians put their faith in their mind and intellect's superiority over everything.

Because the typically-Ryukishi-esque fun was too infrequent.
Gabriel and the chinks were had their moments though.

it's not that well known i guess, many people still think luciferianism is satanism, not worship of human mind, of science, of mind over matter, as opposed to atheism's lack of faith in anything, reducing humans to the level of animals or machines.

>>14949417
>Has the manga gotten all the way to the end yet?
Yes, it was finished last year, but as far as I know, only some of Season 1 has been translated

>>14949884
Haha was afucking hilarious ad. Although, this does get me thinking about some of the themes in Umineko, particularly the theme of belief in magic and what it means to actually become a witch.

Trolling aside, on a more serious unrelated topic, I always sort of assumed that in order to become a proper witch you had to understand the truth, and create an illusion around that. The only witches that become properly accepted by Lambda, or the council in general tend to be people who know the truth behind the game boards/Certain real events. People who realize that magic doesn't exist, but because they have that knowledge they can still keep up the illusion of magic. Compare Battler with Erika in episode 5. Erika became an improper, temporary witch after pushing her argument that Natsuhi had been the culprit, an argument nobody had managed to counter. She didn't properly understand the truth, and went out of her way to destroy the illusion of magic. Meanwhile Battler, by the end of Episode 5, fully understood the truth and how reality/the game boards worked. He had a more cohesive understanding of what happened on Rokkenjima, as well as how magic in general worked, than Erika did. Thus he was given a more permanent position than Erika, and accepted by Lambda and Featherine.

I think that's an important step in Battler's general character arc, and important theme in the story, that a lot of readers seem to gloss over. An important theme in episode 5 was about how sometimes it's alright to humor a magical explanation, although you know for a fact magic isn't the case. Such as Natsuhi's delusions about Beatrice and Kinzo walking around alive. Battler understood that those events were just in Natsuhi's head, and although he knew he'd have to deny magic when the game proper started he still humored that explanation for Natsuhi and Beatrice's sake. Same thing with episode 6 and 8. Battler knew the truth on Rokkenjima already, and had in no way given up on finding the truth and just accepted magic. Rather, he understood that magic was an illusion, and how harmful the truth could be if certain parties figured it out and abused it, people like Erika and Bernkastel.

I always hear people debate about the mystery elements in Umineko, but hardly the fantasy elements. From my experience people tend to disregard those and the meta world segments as extraneous at times, although I think they're just as important to the narrative as the mystery elements.

>>14945923
Yeah Umineko power wanking is some of the worst shit. Keeping both explanations in mind is pretty key.

Umineko shit should be kept out of power level fights, just not even considered.

y-yes sir!

Anyone else having trouble getting over seacats? i was playing it when it first got translated in 2007, then i dropped it for a few years after like ep 5 when a bunch of crazy shit happened in my life and long story short i finished it last November. Now I can't even tell if I'm pissed or sad. Especially since I dragged it on and made it a bigger part of my life as a result. The whole idea of Meta-waifu-Beatrice being Shkanon who was a bitter tranny because s/he was forgotten made me fucking mad. And not even for reasons that I made that sound like. Like I don't even know if I understand that part of the story right. And that final arc where Battler is alive and becomes an amnesiac emo old guy rubbed me the wrong way too. But the way Umineko is I can't even tell which parts we're supposed to believe to be real and which parts are interpretations of possibilities or whatever. I really don't want to reread it because I feel like the parts I hate about the story such as everything being fake meta alternates to other people and theories[/spoilers] and how they basically deconstructed Beatrice to the point of destroying her makes me not want to even bother. I don't know what I'm asking you guys, I guess am I misunderstanding something? Is there a better way to look at all this? Did I forget how to interpret the story from the 5+ year hiatus?

>>14947866
SHAFT would kill Umineko, honestly.

>>14953278
Umineko wasn't a mystery VN anymore after Ep 4
You are right, meta stuff were mainly metaphors for theories and what actually happened, but Lambda, Bern and possibly Erika actuallly exist in the sea of fragments
I also was fucking mad when I learnt about Yasu, but after some time I relized that I didn't regret all the hours that it took to read the VN
If you also don't regret it there is no use being mad
Just let go anon, Umineko is over and it is highly unlikely that something remotely similar to it will ever be made

Where is your love?
Did you lose it all, because you were shown a truth, of sorts?

>>14953278
You are more than welcome to reject what you witnessed at the end and remember the party in episode 8. You could also accept that fact Kyrie and Rudolf slaughtered the family, and none of the witches including Bern and Auau exist.

And Lion is a miracle I will not allow you to slander.

What was the purpose of making Kyrie Battler's mom?

Without Erika, there would have been no mystery and Battler would have given up to Beatrice like the bitch that he is and everything would have remained magic.

>>14954810
She's part of the reason why it's good, she herself is a piece of shit only good for hatefucking.

I'm no Battler, I enjoyed the twists and turns she introduced to the games even after she fooled me.
She's also the type to cry into her pillow when no one's around.

But instead she got screwed over and now only wants to one-up people.

Hes never around anymore.

>>14956952
You see that guy post his rape cave occasionally. It looks like a couple of his portraits are down sadly.

>>14956868
Dumb slut made a stupid decision.

Anyone else looking forward to the steam release?

>>14957006
Not really. The Umineko Project release is technically superior in everyway. I would be down for it if they didn't release it in parts, with six months inbetween each one.

>>14956985
>rape cave
There are worse places to be raped in.

>>14957006
No. If they release it at the same rate as Higurashi it will take years for it to be finished. The only good thing about it is that the translation might be slightly better

>>14957018
True, but at least we got another new set of sprites.

>>14957047
They aren't really new though, they're from the pachinko game. But I don't think the pachinko game has all of them, so they'll probably have to make some new ones as well

>>14956868
I think the only thing that would make it more sad is if she wasn't really being cheated on and her paranoia got the better of her.

>>14957006
Not with that disgusting art.

>>14957058
They've already got most of them, though it seems that Gohda, Genji, Nanjo, and Kumasawa don't have anything new yet.

>>14957240

>>14957240
》That fucking Krauss

And people claim that anything is in improvement over the original art

>>14957240
I know they have most of the characters, what I meant is that I don't think they have all the poses and expressions for each one. I could be wrong though

>>14957249
Apparently these sprites are based on the art from the manga, which looks pretty good. I guess something went wrong

>>14957257
Well if there's these things.

>>14957240
>>14957244
Who is the artist?

>>14957240
>>14957244
Jesus Christ.

>>14957240

>>14957244
>Fucking up Beelzebub' s delicious hairdo

Unacceptable.

>>14957006
>>14957047

Did they ever confirm they would be using the pachinko sprites for it? I thought it was just a placeholder for the announcement. The option to play with the classic sprites will be in either way.

>>14957006
Unless there are mods that replace the sprites, no.

>>14959156
I don't know, but why would they use those as placeholders? They could have just used the original sprites for that

>>14959179
There are already mods for both Higurashi chapters, so there will most likely be mods for PS3 art and voice acting

>>14957240
>>14957244

Are there no larger sizes available for individual pictures? I know some characters like Bernkastel have larger ones.

>>14959264
Those pictures seem to be ripped directly from the official website. It's missing a lot of charaters though

>>14959428
The pachinko game does have an opening already, but who knows if they'll use it or not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky-5HAYu-xE

>>14959301
Oh okay then. Thanks.

>>14959301
Does anyone know what this says? It can't be 4000 sprites, right?

beato

>>14941788

Although a MercuryGin is fine too.

I've been on a seacats nostalgia trip lately, and I just remembered how buttmad I was at the implication that the meta world and all the characters from it that I loved were an amnesiac man's fabrications in-universe. I want to believe in witches dammit.

I should try that link to upscale images from the last thread. I quite like the Panchinko sprites, though some characters do look pretty bad.

>>14959508
They're real, anon. No worry. They are in your heart, at least.

>>14959508
Well, not ALL of them depending on your interpretation. I see featherine lambda and Bern as actual magical entities that gave Beatrice temporary power.

>>14959508
Well, Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni will be about another game between Bernkastel and Lambadelta. Unless you think that's going to be another fabrication of some form.
It's being published on the 25th. Hopefully we get a translation soon.

>>14959515
I agree, some of them look pretty good, while others look really bad. At least the backgrounds look nice. Unfortunately this was the best picture I could find of them

>>14959536
>Unless you think that's going to be another fabrication of some form.
Since Miyo is the protagonist I'm pretty sure this will be more like Higurashi. Those giants in the prologue chapter are probably just their imagination or something like that

>>14959515
That Japanese image resizing site really does do a good job.

Pic obviously related.

>>14959578
Pachislot Erika actually looks pretty good

I know Ryukishi said he was inspired by Tsukihime, but has he ever said anything about Kagetsu Tohya? I'm just wondering since the time looping in Higurashi is kind of similar. Or does Kagetsu Tohya count as part of Tsukihime to begin with?

>>14959264
That's the biggest I could find them. However, I used http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ to make mine bigger, and it worked pretty well.

Seems Hotarubi got the cover picture on this issue of Monthly Action

>>14960478
Ctrl+Shift+I or right click then "Inspect"
Click the tab labelled "Network" then start flipping through the pages.
Image links will appear as you flip through the pages. just right click and open them in a new tab where you can save them.
If that doesn't work I can just post the rest of the pictures here for you.

So we can all agree that DEEN is the best animation studio of our time, right?

>>14962183
No way. Shit son, call me slow but if that's not a shop then that's pretty ace

Active Pain should had been Ange's stage theme in Ougon Musou Kyoku and the rockish version of the song should had been her boss theme.

>>14962240
It's real

>>14962183
Wow, DEEN actually isn't a disappointment 24/7.

>>14962470
It's something ryukishi would tell the animators to do

Just like that umineko VA hijink of not telling Shannon her VA is the culprit while telling Beatrice everything

>>14962510
I love it when he pulls crap like that.

>>14962470
I feel like DEEN put more effort into Higurashi. It's far from perfect, but it isn't nearly as bad as the Umineko anime. Or maybe Higurashi is just easier to adapt

>>14962575
I think it's a bit of both. The anime wasn't even that bad as far as just faithfully adapting the events of the story goes, especially for a vn adaption. But somehow it just failed to capture any of the impact that both the vn and the manga had.

Please post Featherine quotes and similar please.
