I want EVA to step on me!

Is this really /a/ related? Higurashi+Umineko are /a/ related insofar as they got anime adaptations. But the theoretical WTC3 has no such thing. Seems like this is /jp/ fodder.

>>155767683

Or hell, even /v/.

Thanks for the encouragement.

>>155767851
But Higurashi and Umineko are some of my favorite stories in the world.

>>155767950

WTC3 is not an anime or manga, what do you want me to do? Just because something is from Japan and uses animesque art doesn't make it an anime, otherwise we end up with tons of /v/ stuff.

>>155767683
>>155767730
Are Ryukishi threads a common thing on /v/ and /jp/? I'm so used to discussing Higurashi and Umineko on /a/ that it didn't really occur me that WTC3 isn't an anime (yet).

WTC3 is an anime anon. PIC related

/v/ never

/jp/ usually has a general but its mostly the same handful of faggots fapping over stale memes and nude sprite edits.

/jp/ is not good group of people so its not fun to lurk there and see the same exact posts over and over. /a/ threads, when we get one, are much better.

>>155768125

Not on /v/ but on /jp/ they do (or did back when they were coming out--in fact there was while before rules were clarified where various /a/nons insisted that any discussion of Umineko VN belonged on /jp/)

I want to know where to discuss Korean visual novels since they aren't really Japanese, they aren't really games, and they never get adapted into anime. It stinks we need a /kor/ board.

>what do you want me to do
Ignore or report it if it really bothers you so much that there's a single thread about a new game from 7th expansion on /a/.
/jp/ has a completly different culture and /v/ is so shit that you can't even really post about vns without a discussion about whether they are games or not, with some additional retards screaming "weebshit" at every opportunity.

I liked Umineko so much I read And Then There Were None and Dante's Inferno. I expected to prefer the inspiration over the reiteration of themes but Umineko blows the sum of its part out of the fucking water, which is incredibly rare in literature considering everything is a derivative of a derivative and the medium was a fucking weeby VN of all things.

The written WTC series is nothing short of underrated Miracle of modern culture.

>>155768648
>discuss Korean
Found the problem, filthy gooks should start their own imageboard and stay there.

>>155768682

I totally support "board culture" (like back in 00s /a/ where you could make a thread about nearly anything and it was considered fair game because board culture) but in general, most of mid-2010s /a/ and the mods do not.

Seems weird to post about non-anime/manga related stuff in 2010s /a/ that's all. I'm just giving you a rough time.

>>155768782

Korea is a cultural powerhouse and the Hallyu wave even took/is taking Japan by storm (along with the rest of the world).

Makes no sense to have a /jp/ board for misc. Japanese entertainment and weebstuff but no Korean. And Korean cartoons looks very similar to anime/manga so much so that most couldn't tell you where it came from at a glance.

Seems like such a huge gap in 4chan structure I should go to /r/ or whatever.

>>155769109
If they are so important like you said, a space for that sort of thing will happen somehow or another.

Maybe you are overestimating how many people give a shit.

What do you think of Higurashi compared to Umineko?

>>155769280

Different anon but I thought Umineko had better characters and Higurashi had better story.

>>155768750

This is an embarrassing post also Inferno's only thematic link with Umineko is in the storyteller theme, and "And Then There Were None"'s only theme in common is the justice theme (which Umineko did a bad job of exploring anyway).

>>155766174
I'm re reading all of Ryukishi's novels in preparation, including rose guns days for the first time

>>155766174
Rewatching the Higurashi anime and re-reading Umineko 4onwards.

Anyone who thinks Umineko is a good mystery story probably doesn't read mystery novels.
If you want something Uminekoish (as in, "was it magic or was it human made?") try reading Carr's "The Burning Court".

Anyhow, Umineko doesn't simply take inspiration from "10 Little Niggers," but the Red is probably inspired from Carr's "The Nine Wrong Answers" and the overtly convoluted closed rooms are probably inspired on Queen's works (like the one in "The Chinese Orange Mystery).

Knox's and Dine's rules are openly stated as well.

The sad thing is that R07 isn't good at writing mystery, since the solutions to the mysteries he solves are always disappointing.

What R07 excels at is suspense. He's amazing at building it up.
He's also great at writing really likeable characters, and at making the readers hate those likeable characters when their true nature is revealed.

The people R07 works for the music of his stories are superb, and one of the best aspects of his VNs.

>>155769868

Umineko is not a mystery at all. It's a romance. Duh. What are you, an intellectual rapist?

And then end up making you like them again once all is said and done.

>>155769280

Higurashi is basically a story about defying destiny and emphasizes the importance of your own action to change the future, no matter how bad it looks. It's a future oriented story and I think it's something that connects to all audiences.

Umineko is more unique and I think it reads much better when you are an adult. It is about coping with past, loss, death, and tragedies that happened and cannot be changed, just understood/interpreted differently. I think in order to really get it, you would need to have lost parents/loved ones/friends, etc. I do not really think teenagers or even younger 20-somethings have enough of a past to connect with the story as much.

I love Higurashi's construction and core mystery. I love Umineko's exploration and ideas better. They're both great.

WTC3 will get an anime, so it's probably still topical.

They're usually most active on /a/, then retire to /jp/ with the occasional thread here.

/a/ is more of a casualfag, larger board than /jp/ is. Of course /a/ will have more active threads but it doesn't make it /a/-related. Otherwise we could all post anything on /a/ because it would be more active there than on a relevant board.

Will there be a closed room murder that takes place inside a shipping container?

>>155780154
I don't read BNHA but -

>13 got off without a scratch
>11 had other injuries of varying degree

The fact that the 11 had "other" injuries implies that the 13 had some kind of injury. Not a physical injury since they got off "without a scratch" but an emotional or mental injury of some kind.

>>155780468
Hahaha, close.

Those pictured are the injured - and as the narrator says, there's eleven people who were injured.

I can assure you the number eleven is no typo, and that those shown are the injured. But there's one problem

There's only ten people shown

>>155782292
I should probably recap the premise of the series.

The first person narrator is supposed to be the protagonist of the story, Izuku Midoriya, who says this is the story of how he became the greatest hero. You're reading a story about his life - at least - so it seems.

But there are several moments - like what I showed you where the narrator talks about the injured and pictures everyone who was injured but one person(the same one here) - or moments like this - where the protagonist we know is in the foreground but the other character, ostensibly the love interest, is in the background of the page.

The heavy implication is that the narrator you're led to believe is Izuku is at times actually the other character.

Later on there's even this whole allegorical moment where a shizophrenic villain who is bascially two people in one body/identity takes over the first person narration for seemingly the first time(if only for a chapter), but no one on /a/ caught onto the significance.

If you're bored and wanna crack a mystery, pick up BNHA. It's very Seakats in the sense that the main source of narrative confusion probably stems from Izuku's journal - much like Yasu's counterfeits that were mistaken as fact.

>>155782585

Different anon but thanks for the rec.

>>155781428
One of the injured is the invisible girl. She's literally invisible.

I've had enough of your small bombs bullshit Battler, we see the missing person get stabbed and drained of liters of blood and she isn't pictured, while the frog girl right by her who IS pictured gets knicked in the tongue.

Izuku is either remarkably callous, or the narrator isn't picturing Ochako in that chapter BECAUSE THE NARRATOR IS OCHAKO

Wait so is Erika really just Ange's delusion after all? And not a real person in 1998?

Even if a new series comes it will never capture the magic of Higurashi or Umineko. Threads will never be as fun either. It's over. Magical times that will never come back.

Wew lad, this guy is still active? I heard something about him getting banned from comikets after pissing off his nip fanbase with the asspulls on Chiru and copying shiton of stuff from other people's works.

>>155769868
This anon knows his shit. We all know umineko was a huge trainwreck, but what do you think as a mysteryfag about only Higurashi, as a mystery?

>>155785435

Odd, Ryukishi said previously he didn't want to do any more since the mechanic was getting stale.

Though while I suppose, even if the basic 'Groundhog's Day' premise still stands, it all comes down to how it gets played out.

In Higurashi Rika was basically dimension hopping looking for one where she could actually live past summer. In Umineko time wasn't being reset at all, all the stories were basically hypothetical scenarios written by Beatrice or Battler and not the 'real' events of those two days.

So in a sense, he's yet to use an actual time travel mechanic. So, my money's on that.

>>155787811
The tweet says that the WTC5 will be completely different compared to Higurashi and Umineko.

>>155787811
>Ryukishi said previously he didn't want to do any more since the mechanic was getting stale.
Ryukishi not complying with something he said previously? Kek, what a surprise.

its a new higurasi/umineko series or its something completly new?

>>155787928
A new WTC series.

>>155787943

>>155769868
>the solutions to the mysteries he solves are always disappointing

All mysteries are inherently disappointing when they're finally solved. If it's something easy enough for a normal person to solve, then it's too easy and obvious and the smart people are pissed. If it's something difficult or requires some big leaps of faith to solve, then the solution is an asspull, and the normies all riot. There's no middle ground where everyone can be satisfied with the mystery's solution.

Plus, after Umineko, I don't think he can do any more mysteries at all. Umineko deconstructed the entire genre and broke down 'How to solve mysteries' to a degree that all but the most challenged readers could probably see through any tricks he tries to pull.

>>155787976
>All mysteries are inherently disappointing when they're finally solved.

I don't think so, I did enjoy the solution of Higurashi's mystery.
Umineko only disappointed me because the whole Double Personalities = Two persons thing was just lame.

>>155787976
We will never have a thread about this series without whiteknights trying to rationalize the problems of these works into being oh so deep and complex and pulling the 'desconstruction of an entire genre' meme, will we?

I am having a serious case of deja vu right now.

The magical drug part, if you are refering to the brain bugs stuff I think that was Takano's theory and it turned out to be wrong. Again I'm talking from my memory and it's been years.
