I finally finished reading all of Higurashi. I admit, when I

>steam lets you buy the question arc on discount
>still no answers arc
I'm about to break down and watch the anime

>>154140783
Umineko anime is incomplete and shit. Avoid it.

>>154140783
It was a pain to have to hunt series by series to finish this. They should make it clearer.

bump

no one remembers this show/series?

>>154140783
Shion> Rika > Rena >Satoko > Mion

>>154140783
Go read Umineko now.

>>154141269
That's the question: Is the manga good enough? Or the light novels?
I can't really read the second part of as a VN because of reasons, but I can do the first part.

Kek, yes I know you are. But to be fair, it's the new mods that do it.

You aren't any better either, faggot.

>>154140783
>So my question: Umineko... CAN I read the manga version of it?
I'd wait for the game solely for the OST. It makes it a whole new experience. 10/10

>>154141407
I guess I could wait. The problem that no info has been released about when they'll have the finale done. Or at least I haven't seen any news.

>>154140783
>doesn't remember Satoko's name

Doubt.

Kek, you are the newfag

>>154141456
No, I didn't touch the VN. And I keep misspelling Satoko's name.

>>154141469
Are you an idiot? Yes, I'm samefagging. And I said "post useful shit instead".

>>154140783
Arcwise I don't even think they finish translating all the chapters to English yet. So, you're better off waiting.

>>154141468
The PS2 animations are a pain in the ass though

>>154141705
Just download the PS3 sprites

What I loved was how ALL the 'bad' guys turned out to be total bros. The head of the Wild Dogs, Tanako, Shion... I really saw them as three dimensional lovable people.

Even the 'cameraman'.

>>154141308

The light novels are excellent. I haven't read the manga, but people seem to like it, some people even more than the light novels because it's more clear about some stuff. But, as other anons said, the music really enhances the experience.

>>154142369
Good info. I shall think about it. I might do a hybrid: VN where I can, manga or LN where I can't.

>>154140783
The answer arcs of Umineko are absolute shit, so you won't miss out on anything except for the music by reading the manga. EP8 is objectively better in the manga, for one.

>>154142480
Really? That sucks, because Higurashi's answers arc was really fulfilling.

Well, everyone always compliments Umineko anyway, so I'll go through it even if it sucks.

>cant exactly torrent it
Why the hell not? You're only shooting yourself in the foot if you dont. The steam sprites are absolute shit and the manga doesnt have the greatness of the music

>>154142562
I only have my laptop and it's a Mac. I won't have access to my PC desktop for a long time as I'm traveling a lot

While I might find a way around it (wineskins), I might not. So I'd rather see all my options now

Good taste, OP.

Read the VN before the manga. The music is one of the best parts of Umineko, so you'll be missing out.

>>154143996
Never happens in the manga. Rika never goes crazy I noticed.

>>154143996
Who do I feel most sympathetic for? Satoko had a shit life but it's pretty definitely partially her fault still.
Shion is a maybe.

Read Higurashi Rei, Saikoroshi-hen.
It's a very satisfying conclusion.
She's not going crazy, she's just getting really pissed off at alt-universe Satoko.

>>154144234
Kk. I haven't decided if I should check out the extra stories.
Saikoroshi will be one. Any others that are worth it?

Well Saikoroshi-hen is all that's absolutely needed for closure. But depending on how much of a fan you are, Higurashi Kira is an OVA really worth watching. Fanservice episode, comedy episodes and a heartwarming last episode.

Lots of extra stories, but mostly untranslated made for DS/PS3 versions of the VN. Like Someutsushi-hen or whatever.
Outbreak is a god awful 2/10 OVA don't watch it.
Daybreak is a pretty fun "gundam" style fighting game, might want to check it out.

Otherwise just go into Umineko.

>thinking Shion is best girl
>even so much as liking that piece of shit
"Dude, a guy helped me back then and I'm absolutely crazy about him even though I've barely seen him where the fuck is he he must have been kidnapped or some shit DUDE I'M DISGUISING MYSELF AS MY SISTER AND AM KILLING LEFT AND RIGHT TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH HEY SATOKO ENJOYED THAT STABBING I DID? I guess I'm the Devil itself"

Absolute shite.

>t. anime-only secondary
She's annoying as fuck at times in Minagoroshi, but what you're saying makes it obvious you didn't read Meakashi in the VN or even the manga.

>>154145240
>reading manga
Ain't got time for that shit.

>>154143996
Still one of the funniest shit I have ever seen.
