Ultimate Paradise

Because I feel like playing some and there's no more relevant board, so I'll just comment here for the one or two people interested. I've long passed on making a topic like this to comment on things as everyone else on this board has done but whatever.

Currently reading Heaven's Feel, currently in the church talking to Kotomine about Kiritsugu. Not much to say so far, a lot of the scenes up to now were lifted from UBW, got to see Shirou dreaming of swords and visiting that park for the billionth time. Notably Saber brought up how Kiritsugu was her Master in the previous war which I don't remember her saying in the other routes despite having a lot of time to say it, but I may be forgetting.

I'm pretty sure that was stated in Fate at some point, but I really don't care for the idea of remembering Fate.

There are a bunch of shitty visual novels for other series now.

So I say it's time for a bunch of shitty Touhou visual novels.

With actual canon characterization.

If it's canon, then Aya will be the main character. In other words, **** no, this should never be allowed to exist.

Patrick Stewart to ZUN: "Make it so, Number Two!"

ZUN would never make a visual novel.

He wrote the plot for several canon manga, so the concept is not a great stretch.

Get 4chan to make it. They made Katawa Shoujo after all.

Speaking of which, Maniac, did you ever play that?

That wouldn't be canon. There already are noncanon Touhou visual novels.


OH AND ITS MOTHERFUCKING KITCHEN TIME

The point here is less about canon and more about shitty.

Also you need to tell me where I can find them so I can lol while I lol

I downloaded and installed Katawa Shoujo a year ago, but never got around to playing it.

Make a playthrough topic. Or a LP. Or just do it in your regular or blog board topic.

If it's out of curiosity, I'd go for burn girl. Come up with your own conclusion.

Still can't get over that Evatrice nightmare, can you?

SHINJI ALREADY MAN THIS ROUTE IS SHAPING UP TO BE AWESOME

Speaking of Katawa Shoujo did that ever actually get finished or is it still just a demo?

Pretty sure it's finished man.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS

Actually, I would totally play this game if I could pick Misha. >_>

Part of this scene with Shirou talking about Shinji hitting Sakura isn't voiced. I guess that wasn't in Realta Nua, but I have no idea why.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/Qazicle/UBWspoilers.gif)

Talking to Ilya and I suddenly remembered this picture. Posting it again because I love it so much.

Gil is such a ****.

Gil is so bro.

Uh, how does Shirou instinctively know what the Rule Breaker does now?

Because plotholes.

Hey thanks Salty I'm glad you answered that since you know anything about FSN and stuff.

no joking about a loser killing the best character in Fate/stay night bro

That blood fountain is just hilarious though.

Oh hey, H in record time.

...okay, it is silly as ****. loldeen


**** KOHAKU IS LIKE **** A MOLLUSK

Wait, wrong game.

FSN is more about describing penises as meat.

Oh man, Sakura taking care of sick Shirou, what moe wackiness can occur here???

Alright Shirou even knew full well that Shinji abused Sakura and he's a complete ass why the **** was this guy even your friend

Because people die when they are killed

Lancer never gets to do anything.

lolshinji

Like, every other character in the entire game thinks that he's a ****. Whenever he gets killed or worse, the person who hand delivers him that fate looks like a total badass. So yeah, I'm not getting why Shirou gives two fucks about the prick or even trusts him on occasion.


Well, unless we're talking about UBW, and even then he doesn't get a whole lot. Lancer deserves more screentime than Caster at least. >_>

At least Lancer gets to be Anti-**** Irishman.

ohyes

Hey, Ahriman, if you were to tier F/sn characters, where would Taiga be?

Uh lower middle tier I guess, she's above **** tier characters like Shinji and other insignificant losers but below anyone cool. She's generally amusing although she doesn't have any reason to be around outside Tiger Dojo.

Go kill yourself.

why i thought my answer was rather neutral

Obviously Maniac thinks Taiga is the best thing ever.

Third best character.

I'll make a tier list later, probably. Rin and Archer top it of course.

"You're the type that masturbates to the girl you like, right?"

ohlol

(http://www.gamehiker.com/masamune/pbstuff/Kotomine%20Kirei%20%96%20Fate%20Zero.jpg)

SUDDENLY

HF Kotomine is made of awesome.

So, I'm replaying Fate right now (first time I've played F/sn with voices). I hate this route so much... ohohohoh Ahriman, which do you like better, Tsukihime or Fate/stay night?

I REMEMBER POSTING THAT IN MY TOPIC OLO

Ctrl through Fate.

I like FSN more. Only parts of Tsukihime I really liked were Hisui and Kohaku's routes and the scenario up to Nrvnqsr Chaos on Arcueid/Ciel's routes.

Huh. I vastly prefer Tsukihime for its atmosphere and all of the world-building materials that Nasu has put into it, but I'm in the minority. For some reason, I don't like the concept of Fate/stay night, though the execution is admittedly better than how it would sound. It has better characters than Tsukihime does, but I just feel more comfortable playing Tsukihime.

I've seen a lot of people say that they prefer Tsukihime. My best understanding as to why is that they played it first.

I knew I had seen that somewhere before.

Oh also I played Tsukihime with its original soundtrack that is absolutely awful.

Rabbit's corpse. One eye missing. Rotten, soft, and fresh. Forced into my mouth. Rabbit's corpse smears my esophagus. A clear sensation of eating life. Life is life, even if is rotten. Its real. I can't taste this with cooked food. It feels good. There's no taste. But I'm forced to eat it as long as it is in front of me. A popular place. A big line. A place that will eat rabbits. There is only one clerk. The line consists of rabbits. Lines and lines. They rot as soon as they get in the line. Infested with maggots. Which is rotten? Which is infested with maggots? Which is alive? Which is doing the eating-

I always love Nasu's text vomit.

Posting more for my own reference.

Melting wall. Solvable meaning. Self who can explain. Smoothness of changeable permeability. Transitioning time. Observation life and execution function. A pinky-less hand. Headless eyes. Rolling carpet. Once. Twice. Three times. 777 cages. Burst balloon. Unfulfillable promise. Unprotectable law. Death contract. Poison and honey. Red and afterbirth. Mercury lamp and bug light. Light refracting to countless dimensions. Swimming fish, singing at the ocean bottom. Tools, tools, tools. Towards endlessly reproducing stars without meaning, without will. Better than wishes. Another only me. Unraveling deep sea. Contradictory that appears from microscopic organisms. Detailed view of a quark. Rejection of everything. Formless form. An embryo within a hearse. I curse and celebrate their existence.

Cessation is disregard. The bleeding earth. Trade your blood for poison and you will attain immortality. Rose. Rose. Rose. Rose. Your splendor will not last forever. The way to reach Lohan's temple, eat this bread. Spreading defilement. The April that's farther than May, the reversal of limbs, awaken in the shrine of balance beyond the dual serpent and scorpion. The skin of rotten fruit. Burned puppet of celluloid. The cannabis of Legion. Grinding and friction. Sun and Moon. Colliding uphill paths. Female and lions. Broken hourglass. Spiraling clouds. I am unparalleled. Upwards falling sand. Eight years ago. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. You. Killed...!

SEX SCENES WITH YAKETY SAX

The mud eating away at my body remains and steals my warmth mercilessly.

I am crushed by the thing seeping in through all five senses.

Darkness I cannot look at directly.
Ugliness I cannot acknowledge.
Crimes I want to run away from.
Every crime of the people in this world.

That is why I am going to die

One trapped in this darkness will eat themselves to death from pain and hatred.


Searching for this one actually came up with my own post here:

http://newssbb.smfforfree3.com/index.php?topic=35587.15

as the second result on Google.

That bad end you get for not talking to Sakura makes it pretty obvious what the "shadow" is.


She has to hurry home, ready the bath, ouch, laugh off all the fatigue, that hurts, let her hair dry, it hurts, watch some videos, return to her room room room room it hurts she wants to return to her room return return return return please, please stop, stay up till three o'clock, it really hurts, anything, please stop, please stop it hurts it hurts it hurts wake up with an alarm clock, go back it hurts go to work go back go back go back.

Also **** worms.

Caster is still the lamest villain in Fate/stay night. Well, right next to Shinji.

oh no saber :(http://)(

Anyway Rider was pretty cool there.

It's pretty impressive how Shinji keeps one-upping his own douchery with every appearance.

SUPERHERO END

what is so bad about this end

It means that Shirou will live a god-awful life, just like Kiritsugu did.

EDIT: It's also an active betrayal to everyone who cares about him in some way, especially Ilya. I'd include Sakura, but since she's immediately going to die because of that choice, it's not something that will linger with her.

Why is semen so universally used in magic and ****

excuse plot

well obviously

Because Nasu feels obligated to pander to degenerates by adding revolting sex scenes to his VNs, no matter how much they ruin the mood.

You would think that if he wants to do that he could figure out less **** ridiculous ways to get them across than recharging magic or SUPPRESSING ROA. And also make the writing less stupid but I guess that's just what Nasu does.

Stupid writing is Nasu writing, after all.

lolberserker

ARCHER ARM **** YEAH

Hey, Sakura is going to die inevitably in a matter of days, but instead of bothering to try and work to stop that I think I'll stay at home and cook all day.

well it is inevitable so yeah

Using the Holy Grail is the only idea they have, but the Holy Grail is made of evil.

oh lol gilgamesh

Gilgamesh at his lulziest.

(http://cgv.blicky.net/fsn/0302.jpg)

Took long enough.

But the length made it so satisfying.

That's true. Especially since he never really died in UBW but what happened there is possibly worse.

ILYAAAAAAAAAA~

lol

I can't tell his neck from her...pants? Legs? Color would suggest legs, but shading suggests pants.

(http://zettayagami.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/c17b3.jpg)

SUPER KOTOMINE

Makes his mullet look less embarrassing.

Then again, Kotomine has the most badass mullet ever.

Kotomine's face is lol. I mean...dat nose. And dem eyebrows.

Oh hey Emiya is playing, **** just got real.

BLACK SABER END

Holy **** that was awesome.

WELL I GUESS IT'S A GOOD THING HE DID

Rule Breaker in HF is more important than Caster ever was in any route.

Well that was an absurdly happy ending considering the dark tone of the rest of the route. Sort of like the Kohaku route ending.


TIME FOR NORMAL END

not really

So, how was HF?

I thought the last few days after Sakura flips were great, she's a much better character when she's insane. Before that is was mostly okay with a few good parts. The last day was pretty fantastic. Zouken and Assassin were for the most part not very interesting antagonists, Assassin is pretty much the most boring Servant next to Caster.

I'm not sure whether I'd rank it above or below UBW right now.

You know what this means...

UMINEKO EP1

Tomorrow. I just spent all day reading this.

Alright. Gotta say, I started Fate again about two months ago and I haven't finished it to this day, so I feel obligated to say that you're nuts.

why would you reread this

This is my first time with the voice patch, so I figured that it would change my perception of a few characters. I was somewhat correct: I ended up liking Taiga and Sakura a lot more with the voice patch, but I usually found myself cutting lines short.

HF IS THE BEST 'CAUSE OF HOW AWESOME KOTOMINE IS AND DAT FINAL FIGHT

I liked UBW's final fight more. Awesome Kotomine is pretty awesome though.

Can you understand why Kotomine is my second favorite character?

ohyes Jouji Nakata as Kotomine was also amazing, but I already liked him, someh

Yeah he came pretty far from how he was in Fate.

(http://cgv.blicky.net/fsn/0102.jpg)

So, how pumped are you about playing EP1?

My experience so far has not been good but to be fair I haven't seriously made an attempt to read it.

TIER LIST TIME

Best Tier

Rin Tohsaka
Archer

High Tier
Shirou Emiya
Sakura Matou
Kirei Kotomine
Lancer
Illyasviel von Einzbern

Mid Tier

Rider
Saber
Taiga Fujimura
Gilgamesh
Zouken Matou

Meh Tier

Berserker
Caster

Shinji Tier

Shinji Matou

Saber is not better than Taiga. Hell, Saber is pretty much the worst female in the entire game. I even like Caster more than her; at least Caster is well-dressed.

I disagree.

well obviously

holy **** you like dark sakura that much

Wanted to change profiles and I already covered the top three characters there so

But yeah I like her.

understandable

Since you've read some Umineko spoilers (I least I think you have), predictions for favorite characters?

I've read very few Umineko spoilers, I don't know much outside of what I saw in the animu, and just from that I like Beatrice.

You said that you'd probably like Bern at some point.

Goth loli that is apparently psychotic so yeah.

There's a spoiler. Considering that Bernkastel wasn't introduced as a character who makes Eva-Beatrice and Erika look like saintly schoolgirls (no pun intended for both)

Are you playing EP1 now? <_<

NOPE

I started replaying Battle Moon Wars. I'm totally going to read it later though. Like, really.

No you won't. >_>

Just do it now. Power through as much as you need to in order to reach the good part. Hell, hold ctrl until you reach the first twilight. I swear, the second half of EP1 is worth the wait. >_>

Alright, starting now.


LETS DO THIS

OH ****

Comment often, because I'll be following this disaster closely. Also comment on the music; Umineko has the best soundtrack ever.

I skipped ahead to eating dinner because I read most of the stuff before that, and I'm ctrling often because there's a lot of nothing going on, so hopefully I get to things happening relatively fast.

Good **** the use of honorifics is **** egregious, I forgot about that.

I ctrl'd through episode 7 in about 30 minutes, so...

Maria is such a disgusting child.

Aww, I think she's kinda cute. But I really don't care much about her.

I think she's kinda punchable. And by kinda I mean extremely.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

Rosa obviously isn't beating her hard enough. She should get a whip or something.

Hot mom beating up an obnoxious child?

Are you in love?

well i do love anything that beats the **** out of lolis

Don't worry, the rest of the lolis (Erika, Evatrice, Bernkastel, 34) are less "uu, uu!" than Maria.

Is there any way to actually check the names of the BGM within the game or anything like that?

Iunno

Not until you unlock the music box, which will only be after you complete EP4. If you're interested in a song title, just give me the scene.

Scene where Maria is reading Beatrice's letter. First song that struck me as anything interesting.

The one that sounds almost like it came out of a scene involving a detective? Fishy Aroma. I've seen it called Suspicious Fragrance, but Fishy Aroma is Witch Hunt's translation.

I like Suspicious Fragrance better myself.

Done for tonight. Right at around the beginning of the second day, when we find that a bunch of people have gone missing. Its become far more readable and I'm skipping less now at least.

Continue for a bit longer. Just do it.

play more ****

i will jeez

where are you now because i know that would have commented on the first twilight if you had been playing

I haven't been, I'm starting up in a minute.

Do remember that I sort of know what happened anyways due to the animu.

song that plays at the first twilight plz

Man I sure don't care about George.

Don't even need to check. That's goldenslaughterer, the first of zts's eight special tracks. If that sounded good, you'll be pleased to know that it's the second to last of the eight in quality.

EDIT: I hate George and all of the kids. George gets special hate for reasons that you'll see later.

"This horrible state was definitely not an accident.

It was a crime. Someone had killed them. It was a murder case."

IS THAT SO

"...Just like the words of the main character's mother in a novel I read recently called 'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.'"


hm

intriguing

Its a good thing Natsuhi's fingers are so fat so there's no way she can pull the trigger on that rifle.

Alright, Maria is kind of amusing when she's walking around with that stupid smile talking about occult ****.


I really am just reading a poorly written mystery novel with shitty art and cool music.

At the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close.

All the interesting characters are dead.

EP1 is more horror that anything, so it's almost kind of unique in that way. Of course, there are only traces of that in EP2 and by EP3, it's pretty much gone. Though yeah, Umineko is a shitty mystery, but it has secondary elements that might make up for it depending on the situation (see EP3, EP7, climaxes of EP5 and EP6, maybe EP4). Honestly, I prefer playing it for the everything BUT the mystery, and since almost every person who debated Umineko on terms of it being a mystery now hates the series after playing EP8, that's probably the best course of action.

As for interesting characters, you'll love EP3 and EP5 in that case. A good deal of the shitty and worthless characters die on the first twilight for both. On the other hand, you're going to hate EP2 and EP6, since they're all about those **** kids and their worthless relationships. You're probably going to ctrl through 90% of each.

do i have to **** at you every day about this

come on, you're very close to the scene with system 0

I wish I was reading it and not trying to force myself to work, but that's how it is. I'll probably give up soon.

You just played Fate/stay night, you ****. You should be able to finish the 2.5 hours left of EP1. >_>

That was mostly weekend. It I don't finish in today or tomorrow or Friday of course I'll finish on Saturday, probably read through Ep 2 over the weekend to at least.

Actually, I was going to say that, if you were having problems playing EP1, you should skip EP2 and just rely on your knowledge of the anime to cover it. Or rather, unlock EP3 and go to like, the last chapter of EP2 in order to watch Rosa be badass and go from there.

"I'm not furniture anymore. I'm the zero on your roulette!"

nice one liner bro

...and then he dies like a ****, and the world becomes a better place.

**** you, Kanon.

So does Ep 8 actually confirm anybody as the culprit or does it pull some other stupid bullshit?

Alright I figured considering the reaction.

It's sort of a shame, since EP8 sounds pretty decent otherwise. But then again, Umineko has always been a subpar mystery and has always been better as a story in general.

Battler is only just now connecting the murders to the epitaph. These guys are pretty slow.

Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind. Small words, from a small being, trying to attack what it doesn't understand.

System 0 is pretty cool.

That quote was apparently from Star Trek. >_>

pretty cool more like top four songs in Umineko

Episode 1 complete.

Rank the music. If you don't know any song titles, just describe the scenes in which they played.

Give me a list of track names and I can check what's what on youtube, I wont remember them all otherwise.

The tea party is pretty funny with everyone talking casually about the gruesome ways they were murdered.

...you're gonna regret saying that.

Namely, what about the credits theme, Bring the Fate?

It was pretty great, it somehow made that ending scroll epic.

...and it will never play again until EP7. >_>

Somebody just released a voice patch for EP1. I guess I should've waited.

Finishing up an animu today, I'll start EP2 when I'm done.

A test for the voices proved to be low quality, so god knows what might have gone wrong with it. Oh, and speaking of voices, my copy of PS3 Umineko shipped yesterday.

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=16804938

somewhere, takeuchi is crying

wat

umineko's most hated character eating... something ala kotomine

also

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=16778132

i'd care but this **** is just so **** meaningless it'd be retarded to

Salty is too cool for 7th grade.

(http://img.listal.com/image/1552682/600full-pepper-ann-photo.jpg)

I used to watch that show.

Nostalgia. what the ****.

New AliceSoft game looks awesome.

http://miscgamer.com/2011/01/01/alicesoft-special-daiteikoku-extravaganza

lol

Alright actually starting Ep 2 now.

lolep2

Only redeeming parts are the school concert, Happy Halloween for Maria, the ending of the main game and both tea parties. Oh, speaking of Happy Halloween, you're going to be reminded of Nasu works when you read it.

This is already automatically better than EP1 because Beatrice is physically involved.

That cackle sound effect is so ridiculous.

ahaha.wav

You'll regret those words when you get all of the lovey-dovey **** from those **** kids. Shannon and George's relationship is unequivocally the worst aspect of Umineko, and Jessica and Kanon aren't far off.

tsurupettan


what

Exactly.

Don't forget the nico annotation stream.

I am now using this topic to talk about whatever obscure **** I feel like because

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6APUJYxw1Q#t=2m00s


What the **** Cave

Also Rosa beating Maria again shityeah

3 hours later Battler shows up for the first time.

ep2 rosa is gar

total **** tho

hoshi

lol dead end 13

Not my fault that literally single option to bond with Saber gives you an alternative to talk to characters who don't suck, like Ilya and Rin. Still, it's easy to fix, so meh.

spoilers you should talk to saber on saber's route

spoilers saber is a shitty character rin and ilya arent and nobody wants to play this shitty route

Though it's not like I didn't see this coming, of course. No matter which branch I ended up on, I was going to visit the other anyway, so it's not a set-back.

So, my copy of Umineko PS3 arrived today. I got a trophy just for starting episode 1, and there's a trophy for **** around with config. lulz

...come to think of it, this is the first PS3 game that I've purchased since I bought the system almost a year ago.

You should've just shipped it to me then.

I bought six games when I got my PS3, so...

I think that I'll order a few more today, before it becomes too late.

EDIT: No wait, I bought MGS4 about 6 months ago.

My PS3 is being used by my family in my living room and it would be too embarrassing to play my weeaboo games on it so I never use it.

Finished Fate, by the way. I can finally move on to a better route.

Unlimited Badass Works

finish ep2 so we can start talking about the good part

working on it

Where are you?

Still the first day, George just marked that rose.

man eva is such a huge ****

Nobody likes EP1/EP2 Eva. Well, unless you hate Shannon or Natsuhi. But still, she's one of the best aspects of both episodes because she's such an ****.

WE ARE FURNITURE

Kanon is so self-dehumanizing what is even his deal.

You'll understand later (well, somewhat), though it didn't make me hate him any less. Until then, here's this:

(http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk98/ReinforceEin/1293953586407.jpg)

Too relevant to what was happening for Nasu-level text vomit. Also there was a constant usage of two exclamation points which is dumb, nobody uses two you can only use one or three.

Ryukishi adores the use of two exclamation marks, but that's neither here nor there. What is relevant is that Luca Blight uses hundreds of exclamation marks in every one of his sentences, and are you going to tell him that he's wrong?

You've always been pretty neutral about your comments, so are you at least enjoying a select few scenes?

Luca Blight can use as many exclamation points as he wants because he's Luca **** Blight.

My enjoyment of a scene is just about directly proportional to how much I like the music that's playing, and whether I like the characters present. (which pretty much means Beatrice and Rosa. Some of the others are okay but not so much that they particularly improve a scene) I don't really dislike any part of it though past the introduction, its a decent enough story to maintain my interest. I probably would've liked Happy Halloween more if I didn't already know it was happening too, so next episode when things start being new it should get better.

So, the anime essentially ruined any and all major moments in both of these episodes unless good music was playing?

EDIT: 16000th post.

Pretty much.

Oh my god Beatrice's giant grin with the vampire teeth is lol.

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x193/Cherry_Kitty_Kat/Amused.jpg)

Not the one I was talking about and I can't find the one I was talking about anywhere. They are all pretty lol though.


Its like he tried to imitate the FSN fights with all the slash graphics but failed miserably.

It's the one where she's gritting her teeth, right? I believe that I wtf'd at that expression when it popped up out of nowhere.

Yeah that one.

pfff kinzo made a hitchhiker's guide reference

Get used to that. Also get used to pistol and shotgun panels.

Colored text fight.

oh **** son

Blue text doesn't appear until EP4, so not yet.

Battler being incompetent is now an undeniable fact. lol

I would like to see this.

Don't forget that Beatrice was undeniably amused.

One on the left. (http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/umineko.pl?bg=bhc&sprites=chr%2Cchc%2Cchl&chr=bpy%2C75%2C50%2C100%2C0&chc=bpz%2C50%2C50%2C100%2C0&chl=bpv%2C25%2C50%2C100%2C0&text=&format=png&quality=90)

oh man that face

Also more System 0.

This is the last time System 0 will ever play.

fffffwhat

System 0 was shafted harder that absolutely any other song in Umineko. It is unfortunately not in EP3-8 and Tsubasa, and for this reason, it cannot be found in the music box for any of the Chiru games.

Battler lost the game hard. Of course he created an unwinnable situation for himself in trying to suspect that nobody committed the murder so I guess it was inevitable.

Battler losing is not an uncommon event. Remember, he's incompetent.

(http://fireflylights.notcliche.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2048112_m-455x460-custom.jpg)

EP2 complete.

Whoever made this game draws only slightly better than Arnaham.

So yeah, Rosa is **** GAR... when she gets the chance, at least.

You've reached EP3 just in time.

I'm pausing here after reading the Tea Party to check out Radiant Historia. Depending on whether its worth my time and how well it runs I might switch to playing that.

You've waded through an ocean of **** in order to reach the shore, and now you want to dive back in?

I don't know anything about it other than its an Atlus JRPG, it could be shitty and if it is I can drop it whenever.

anyways

(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/Ahriman_Hero/lolihead.jpg)

so delicious

That's not fair. Two chapters of Umineko is more like a pond of ****.

EP3 is the zenith of Umineko's quality until EP7 comes along; I guarantee that you won't like EP4, so why not play one more episode before playing something that is likely going to suck?

It'll almost certainly take me more time to read EP3 than play a DS game I'll probably quickly drop.

You likely won't drop it quickly enough for my preference, and that's running off of an assumption that you would drop it in the first place.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Timing is key in this case, you halfwit.

"Mii, nipa~"

bernkastel = rika

?


LAMBDADELTA: SUPER-PAPER

if rika was a dangerous sociopath

Yeah okay I don't feel like playing this right now. Starting EP3.

I cannot see you disliking Eva-Beatrice, so I cannot wait for you to get to the good part.

...and by good, I mean "holy ****, 10/10."

hey if you like evatrice could you use her as your profile

it would be really weird for everyone else

already planning on bernkastel profile

you can do that when you play ep5

since bern isnt even remotely interesting or relevant until then

Dat face. My dreams.

Do you do anything yesterday? >_>

Some. Still first day, I presume Eva-Beatrice appears on the second day. Ronove is a pretty cool guy though.

Ronove is made of awesome. He's probably my third favorite character behind Evatrice and Bern.

Hey, Koihime Musou english release in a few hours. Have to check that out.

...>_>

Why would you want to derail your progress in the best episode of Umineko next to 7 to play a subpar VN? >_>

Also, have you even been playing this?

Looks like my kind of stupid ****.

No, I'm watching the Academy Awards right now.

You poor bastard. Will you at least have time to play it tonight?

Probably, I'm feeling up to not sleeping at a reasonable time tonight.

<Good!>

btw i want to bug you on aim when you get to the first twilight plz let me do so

im gonna keep doing this until you actually post updates you know

My internet is being exceedingly shitty right now but yes I'm playing it. Beato is talking about her past and how she was imprisoned by Kinzo.

Just post a wall of comments instead of the latest relevant detail so that there's actually something to discuss. As for this one, well... you'll be disturbed by this scene later on.

Nothing particularly interesting to discuss at the moment.

...and that's why the first twilight is relevant.

I think I might give a few of these a try once I figure out how to run the Onscripter emu on my Wii.

why not just run them on your computer

because I find the emu interesting.(But yeah I'll play them on the comp if I get to frustrated with it.)

You could play one of the earlier episodes on your PC while working on the emu.

I'll give them a try.

also because I believe Katawa Shoujo was mentioned here:

(http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/1218/b8ad573df22016cb2b86f31.gif)
Giggity.

There are no more than 18 people on Rokkenjima.

Oh good maybe Battler will stop being dumb now and do the obvious thing and suspect people.

Battler is still incompetent, though.

Hey, the servants were pretty cool there.

Oh, and apparently Meta-Battler is seeing these magic battles? If he can see that the murders are occurring that way then I don't understand how he can argue them, unless he just flat out assumes that what he's seeing is not really happening somehow.

Uh, wow, Beatrice vs Virgilia was awesome.

Oh yes, and this is officially new territory. I remember the last episode I watched ended with Kumasawa revealing herself to be Virgilia.

Song was Fake Red Shoes, by the way.

Alright good to know.


well

The addition of Ronove and Virgilia seems to have made the logic battles way better.

Mainly because Battler actually has help now; Virgilia isn't incompetent, fortunately.

The song that plays during these is totally ruined by a faint beeping noise that comes out of the right speaker during one part that annoys the **** out of me.

I can't quite recognize the song based on that description.

It commonly plays during the logic battles when Battler is presenting and winning an argument. Its pretty upbeat and epic sounding.

Thing is, it could Core, Dread of the Grave or any variety of songs. I'm going to think Dread of the Grave from that context, but you'd need to check.

It's Dread of the Grave.

I never really liked it, anyway. It's that kind of song that is so cheesy that it becomes totally awesome like Answer, but as far as actual music goes, it's iffy.

Happiness of Marionette is going to get stuck in my head I'm sure.

The time has come for the second twilight, and for you to see just why I love Eva-Beatrice.

Oh god Rosa why D: D: D:

Eva-Beatrice's expressions are so derp.

They are absolutely ridiculous, as is her personality and her level of evil; it's a good representation of her. So, what do you think?

It was pretty funny. The character herself's personality I don't really care for much from what I've seen but the scene was great. And Happiness of Marionette is probably my favorite song so far.

Anyways done for now.

That's not very encouraging, as she sheds any humorous aspects in favor of being such an **** that people like Vriska would be offended.

"You're an eyesore, so disappear."

THIS WITCH.


Hey, post all of the pictures of Eva-Beatrice's expressions that you have.

Badass Kyrie and Rudolf are so badass.

I was rocking out, what did I miss?

Looks like the 7th and 8th twilights are coming up.

What am I to interpret from this?

Battler said that and I immediately thought Tsukihime.

I asked for the Eva-Beatrice pictures because I know you have them and some of her expressions are hilarious. Speaking of which,

*Krauss talking about Eva and stuff, and then*
"Of course I won't forgive you. What are you talking about, after all this time?"
*lightning flash, DERPFACE*
ohgodlawl

fixed

ogrly. Just use this: http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/generator.html

What are you thinking of the episode so far? Oh, and of you-know-who.

I think its far better than the previous two episodes, easily. Its feels like it dispenses with a lot of the things Ryukishi was going for in the first two episodes and takes a completely different approach, and it reads a lot better for it. There's more time spent in metaspace and more magic **** going on and stuff, its a lot more fun to read than anything going on with just the family and servants.

I don't love Eva-Beatrice so sorry to disappoint there. I like her more than a good majority of the cast, but that's because I don't really like a good majority of the cast. She's kind of a huge ****.

hate your guts

hurr

(http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/umineko.pl?bg=abq&sprites=chc&chc=clw%2C50%2C50%2C100%2C0&text=&format=png&quality=90)

seriously what is she even doing here

she should really see a dentist

I did say at one point that she had the best facial expressions, and I meant that. Of course, I never said anything about that being in an ironic sense or not, so...

She's a gigantic **** who more than earns her complete monster stripes, but she's **** hilarious at the same time for that reason. She's unrelentingly evil and more importantly, she's a total **** on top of it, yet it's so hard to take the combination of a psychotic little tyke and facial expressions like that seriously. That and there's the entire second twilight, which is amazingly awesome and hilarious at the same time; it's also the only scene where she gets a narration, and it's completely deranged.

(http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/umineko.pl?bg=awd&sprites=chr%2Cchc%2Cchl&chr=clz%2C75%2C50%2C100%2C0&chc=clp%2C50%2C50%2C100%2C0&chl=cmi%2C25%2C50%2C100%2C0&text=&format=png&quality=90)

EDIT: I just compiled my latest iteration of my top 20 Umineko songs. I'll post the list here so that you can argue it on your own free time.

20. Yomotsu Hirasaka Corruption - -45 (EP7)
19. Toten Blume - -45 (EP5)
18. Anti-Demon Sequentia - Kitaouji Mizuki (EP6)
17. Lost Paradise - dai (EP3)
16. Haze - zts (EP3)
15. The End of the World - whole bunch of people (EP7)
14. Proud-Dust - xaki (EP5)
13. Endless Nine - dai (EP4)
12. Worldend Dominator - zts (EP2)
11. Victima Propiciatoria - SB-YUNE (EP4)
10. Dead Angle - zts (EP1)
9. Bring the Fate - Doi Hironori (EP1)
8. Resurrected Replayer - zts (EP5)
7. Mirage Coordinator - zts (EP3)
6. Wingless - zts (EP3)
5. The Dark and Crazed Requiem of Purgatory - Kitaouji Mizuki (EP4)
4. System 0 - -45 (EP1)
3. Dreamend Discharger - zts (EP4)
2. Thank You For Being Born - dai (EP3)
1. Patchwork Chimera - -45 (EP5)

I'll rank music after I finish EP4 I think.

Hey, at least you'll hear the second-best song in this episode. Well, second-best in my opinion, but still.

Eva-Beatrice's greatest accomplishment is making everyone that opposes her look awesome by comparison.

That's pretty much impossible to deny, but that's a great role regardless. Even if she's not considered an awesome character, it's undeniable that she makes EP3 awesome. It's hard to hate her as a character for that reason, even if you're appalled by her terrible personality and her horrendous actions.

(http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/umineko.pl?bg=aso&sprites=chr%2Cchc%2Cchl&chr=clq%2C75%2C50%2C100%2C0&chc=cmw%2C50%2C50%2C100%2C0&chl=clq%2C25%2C50%2C100%2C0&text=&format=png&quality=90)

EP3 completed.

That face is amazing.

So, how funny is it that Battler still managed to lose to Eva-Beatrice in spite of the fact that he has more experience and his pseudo-badass act. He deserved to get hit by the revelation that Beato is the biggest magnificent bastard in Umineko.

(http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/beatroll.jpg)

Such a troll.

Is Nanjo's murder ever going to be actually explained?

Yup. Also, the ending scene with Beato is, bar none, my favorite scene in all of Umineko. Holy ****, she's a total magnificent ****.

You don't like Evatrice for her personality, but do you like her for the statement that you made earlier about her? If you tiered her, where would she be? Alsoalsoalso, rate EP3.

Evatrice would probably be high-mid tier somewhere. Her involvement in the logic battle at the end brought her up some, and she did her job as a supervillain well.

EP3 is like >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EPs 1 and 2. 9-9.5/10, wouldn't give it 10 because it was still pretty slow to build up. Also Beatrice's reformation turning out to be a massive troll is pretty bullshitty despite being hilarious.

She was sincere all along.

oops whoops spoilers. Well, I'm the only person who would rank Evatrice as high as I do, so I guess that's pretty fortunate. I don't think that I have met anyone who thinks that my love for her is logical.

Anyway. EP4 is pretty much the most divisive episode in the series, so enjoy either completely hating half of it or liking it almost as much as EP3. I can guarantee that you'll find yourself in the former group, so if you're interested in doing anything else, now is the time.

*Shoots you with ARMS*

Also sweet jebus mitten hands

Hey Ahriman, did my username fool you?

Certainly didn't fool me, you cyberdemon you.

No because I saw your avatar before I saw your username.

****

ohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e340/Luki_Dimension/Character%20Images/Beatrice.jpg)

I swear that WA3 Beatrice looks like a character who was rejected from Umineko... well, she would if WA3 didn't predate Umineko by about 6 years, but still!

She was a boss. She had a fuckton of different forms, most of which would have fit perfectly in a Persona game.

FETUS CENTIPEDE-Beatrice

SLIME-Beatrice

CROCODILES-Beatrice

GIANT **** PLANT-Beatrice

And then there was Nega Filgaia, which had so many forms it was actually rather funny.

...and almost all of them were incredibly easy.

Battler wouldn't have lost to this Beatrice!

Battler didn't have super dragon guns, Dragonships, or awesome summons, though.

- Blue Truth Shotgun
- Who cares about Lombardia, it's not even usable in that battle.
- Umineko spoilers: Battler gets all of Beatrice's furniture in EP5, so those could count as summons.

Get this talk of game I've never played out of my topic.

Play the game instead. I guarantee you won't regret it.

Get your worthless existence out of my world, you ****.

I played some of the first two Wild Arms games and thought they were pretty boring.

And that's why you fail.

This is my world, doucher.

doucher

That spelling was entirely intentional.

i know but it doesnt make it sound less stupid

You just aren't deep enough to comprehend the poetic mastery of my wording.

It's too derp for Maniac.

Considering that I love Eva-Beatrice's expressions, that's saying something.

So, I'm playing PS3 Umineko. My laptop is right next to my TV, and I'm playing normal Umineko on that for the translated text, so it's kinda funny. This is really awkward when its voiced, since Ryukishi is very of overdramatic monologues; Kinzo's introduction deserves a special mention for... obvious reasons. BEATORIIIIIIIIICHIIIIIEIIII~

So on the Board Index, I read this as "Batman visual novel."

Ahriman is a way better superhero than Batman ever was.

AhrimanHero

(http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu311/shiunji/oh_yes.png)

huh.

wut

Play EP5.

I really don't know why Battler is so popular besides being the protagonist; as far as quality goes, he is so incredibly inconsistent. He oscillates from being really awesome at one point and completely failing at another, but his biggest problem is that the former trait finds its roots in the plot instead of in his character. He spontaneously acts badass out of nowhere, which is nice, but it's never something that I credit to him as much I give to the plot. When he fails, it's definitely something that comes from him, because he's incompetent. Beato oscillates from awesome to sucky as well, but at least all of her awesome moments are in character for her.

Koihime Musou.

why are you playing this trash

i love trash

oh hey play ep4 then

Soon enough. Probably tomorrow.

you will hate ange

i guarantee it

i don't hate her yet

why will i hate her

1998 arc is a gigantic pity trip; you either feel bad for her, or you hate the arc and, by extension, her. I'm assuming that you're not in the mood for the story to be interrupted for the sake of "Ange's life is so hard!"

oh lol date masamune

More like Xiahou Dun.

Probably is not certainty.

No that's definitely a Date Masamune.

This is Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not Sengoku Era Japan. Also you're an idiot.

The parallels are remarkable, you must admit.

34 is certain that you're a douche, btw

You don't need the Witch of Certainty to confirm that.

But it's pretty much the ultimate condemnation.

Speaking of 34, wouldn't it have been so much better if she beat Battler and Beato in that character poll?

Need to see more 34 before I can answer.

Figured you say that, though the basis of your answer at this point would be if you wanted to see someone who isn't Battler or Beato win. >_>

Beato is still my favorite character at this point so no.

That will change. Hoooo boy, that will change.

So, a sequel for the Umineko fighting game has been green-lit. o lol

oh hey now that you've played ep3 you should draw some hideous picture of eva-beatrice with a ridiculous facial expression plz

draw your own picture jeez

my fingers are deformed so it hurts to write and draw

dont be selfish

do it in paint

it'll look appropriately shitty

oh yes i also have reservations with personally defiling my waifu

oh come on i did it

why should i do it when you could

and when you suggested that should at one point

because it would be funny

not to me

but it would be funny if you did it

hey bizzle i see you looking at this topic how about you do it

oh noooooooo

Oh good, my plans for tomorrow were canceled and for some reason I have no school so I can disregard sleeping today. Starting EP4.

If I'm correct, the 1998 arc will put you to sleep anyway.

Somehow Maria knew what Cardcaptor Sakura was despite dying several years before its creation. hmmm

Magic.

Jessica cosplayed as Marisa, in spite of the fact that Story of Eastern Wonderland wasn't released until 1997. She also sang Tsurupettan, which came out 20 years after her demise.

Yeah that too. This was particularly apparent because it was specifically stated that CSS was a popular show at the time.

so

Delayed indefinitely due to pogeymanz.

**** that **** you fag

lol

Play EP4 so that you can rip apart your jewfro over 1998.

my jewfro doesn't exist so i can't do that

well your still a jew

jew = has jewfro

this logic is flawless

You had one when you posted those pictures 3 years ago.

btw you should post new ones

even then it wasn't really a fro but anyways my hair is considerably shorter now

you probably look like a creep

so yeah new pictures

i posted pictures of me, you should do the same

(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/Ahriman_Hero/185509.jpg?t=1299812328)

Creeper eyebrows I suppose but as long as I maintain shaving I'm not particularly threatening looking.

Oh sweet Jebus it's Bizzle's slightly less evil twin.

u jelly salty

have to admit that's a bitchin' shirt

We're you trying to imitate Evatrice's toothgrin?

I DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE HIM THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

I was trying to make all of her expressions at once but they mostly canceled out.


Yeah I'm not really sure what the comparison here is.

I saw that post you failure.

I'll try again now that I'm not double-tasking.


Separated at birth... and dropped on their heads for good measure.

Wait, since Eva-Beatrice's retarded facial expressions mean that she has Down's Syndrome, does that mean that you have it as well?

Well I am mostly retarded so

I still wish that I could find someone capable of appreciating how amazing of a character Evatrice is. )-:

According to that poll she is 2.2% of peoples' favorite character.

Right below Kanon. >_>

Oh god, this is so relevant.

Screenshot generator site isn't working, so you'll need to use NSAout in order to look at Evatrice's faces again.

...or play the game, but considering your poogeymanz adventures, that would be too difficult.

Alright, Pokemon shall now officially be relegated to playing outside of home. EP4 playing shall resume shortly.

yessssssss

Does Ange's story matter at all in the long run? How long does it take? Is it one big chunk or will it switch between Rokkenjima and 1998?

The set-up to 1998 is certain, pretty much one of the only certain things in Umineko. Eva did survive the Rokkenjima incident, she did become Ange's guardian, and presumably everything that happened between them before 1998 actually happened as well. Ange's disposition towards her situation is important for EP8, but her adventure during 1998 isn't really important. It takes up about 2/5 of the episode when combined with a side-arc featuring Maria before the Rokkenjima incident that branches from it. The episode alternates between Ange's future and 1986, but Ange's story slows down and wraps itself up for a while just before 1986 gets going. The conclusion to Ange's story occurs later, but doesn't really interrupt anything (and it's pretty much the best part of it).

What, did Virgilia just vanish?

Not quite.

Hm. I was hoping to see more of her after she revealed her ridiculous evilface. I presume she'll basically be a different character now and I don't know what she would do though.

She shows up to be all detective-y

Virgilia is pretty damn different in EP4, but I don't think that you're going to predict how she'll act correctly. Of course, she really does act like she did in EP3, as she's back to being that way in EP5.

(http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/150/f/2010/056/0/7/Kinzo_Ushiromiya_Vector_by_ludek_cortex.png)


holy **** this face

WAHAHA GOOOOOOOOOOOOLDSMIIIIITTH

Goldsmith is such an awesome persona.

Kinzo just took like 50 levels in awesome.

I swear to god if the Umineko guys would just hire some competent artists...

Umineko is better with shitty art. Compare it to the PS3 version's generic, uninteresting sprites or the anime's desaturated crap; neither is as worthy of laughter or entertainment as Ryukishi's art.

It's generic as it is except for derpfaces.

The derpfaces are glorious and one of the best parts of Umineko.

And then we transition into Maria being lonely with her weird stuffed animal because, uh

That's pretty much what I just said. Now just imagine well-rendered derpfaces.

(http://i.imgur.com/7u9Pz.jpg)

You don't have to imagine them. They aren't quite as funny.

I dunno man. Third and fourth are pretty hilarious.

2) Ignorant?

There's a playthrough on B8 that's at roughly the same place as you are. Here are his comments on Goldsmith:

Alternatively I'm hoping that Kinzo actually is alive and is this crazy even though it wouldn't make any sense at all.

He's not; he died over a year before 10/4/1986, and his death scene is in EP7. It's pretty awesome, actually.

ohlolspoilers

Keep playing plz

Yeah I figured he was.

Who's your favorite character Ahriman.

Answers to come after EP4, stay tuned.

i posted all of those spoilers just to get you to read them lol

alright start playing this you ****

i am there just isn't anything to say ange is just talking to professor guy

no

You're almost out of the woods.

Finally back to Rokkenjima, **** should hopefully go down.

And now 34's first appearance in the main game as far as I recall. Unless she showed up at Eva-Beatrice's introduction, she probably did.

And after that brief awesome scene we're back to Ange's story again ****

34 was Eva-Beatrice's guardian, you idiot. >_>

Is that so

so nanoka~

(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldu8a4UXgW1qcmkwk.jpg)

Who is more badass: Eva-Beatrice or Rumia?

They're both zero badass.

Therefore, they're pretty even, don't you think? I think that I'll give it to Rumia, what about you?

I guess so. Rumia could be potential badass if fanon dictates it, and she is the Youkai of Darkness, so I guess it could happen.

Evatrice is more moe than Rumia is, though~

The district welfare manager is unbelievably incompetent.

That's not the worst of it; Rosa is assaulting a representative of authority; why the **** doesn't she just have her arrested and just **** take Maria?

Yeah I have no idea how the **** Rosa still has Maria after this, she has pretty clearly displayed that she is mentally unstable in front of a person who's job it is to separate children from unfit parents.

Obviously it's because the welfare manager believes that Rosa is just right for Maria's RDA of beatings.

First twilight complete. Kinzo is so boss.

I love how Golden Slaughterer plays while Battler complains about how ridiculous Gaap's outfit is. Gaap's outfit is serious business.

The first thing I thought when I saw her was that she has a really stupid outfit.

Everyone thinks that. Her outfit is a joke in canon, for crying out loud.

Up to THE TEST. Its pretty obvious that Kinzo would choose the third option, and considering they have to pick one and that this is a test of inheritance, it shouldn't be that hard to just pick that. Better than not choosing anything, at least.

+ Holy **** Jessica, lol George.
++ Correction, what the ****, George. Gaap sure does suck.

EP4 Completed.

So yeah, Krauss is the best of the siblings. Agree or disagree?

perhaps

Even if it took him 4 episodes to be relevant.

What is it like to get your words fed to you on this subject?

Also, character and music rankings gogogo

The end to that fight was such bullshit, Gaap is such a cheater.

Character and music rankings to come after the tea parties. (first one isn't much of a tea party what gives) Might do them tomorrow, music will almost certainly have to wait for tomorrow, characters will depend on how long the tea parties take.

That wasn't cheating. That was how it's supposed to be. George acts tough and cocky, and gets his ass handed to him brutally; it's a source of endless amusement considering that he's the worst character in the **** series.

Also, since the climax of the episode is the Tea Party, don't say that you completed EP4.

I did it with the other episodes so for the sake of consistency

But yeah alright.

So yeah, get it done asap so that you can masturbate to the sound of Dreamend Discharger.

hey how did this all play out in the anime

Battler says a lot of blue, giant stakes come out, fly at Beato and impale her, and Beato resists about a third of the time that she should have. All on top of some shitty version of Victima Propiciatoria instead of Dreamend Discharger, though I decided to play DED on top of the video after a few seconds to make it more entertaining.

Tea Party is complete, now just ???.

Here's your revelation: DOUCHEKASTEL HAVE MY CHILDREN

Bernkastel's evilface is amazing.


Alright that's done.

Yeah, it really is. Though Bern has an even more evil-looking rapeface.

So, character rankings.

Anyway, lolkasumi and Eva-Beatrice should not be that low, so **** you.

Still dealing with that hymen itch, are you?

Hey, Ahriman, could you please shut him up?

I wouldn't put it past Salty to be a persistent douche if I delete one of his posts.

Evatrice would be higher except that every character above her is better than her.

Oh yes, I approve of EVA-Goldsmith. Even if the image of Evatrice humping that gold makes that even more nauseating.

Jeez there were a lot of shitty tracks in EP1.

List gets less definite as you go lower of course.

So yeah. Not too many songs that are lower than they should be, but a lot of songs that are higher. Any comments on my list from several pages back now that you know the songs?

I don't like wingless at all but its all good stuff otherwise from what I recognize.


laff

There a whole lot of other problems I have with the list, but at least I could understand what you were thinking. But Wingless down there? Get ****, you ****.

...actually, I want to **** up that garbage tier. Towering Cloud In Summer, among others, shouldn't be down there.

I'm sure a lot of songs in the lower tiers could bear to be higher, but not high enough that I can be bothered to listen to them again and rearrange them.

Doesn't change the fact that your list **** sucks.

My list could have been practically anything and you would have said that.

Not if you didn't suck.

Are my or that guy on B8 that's ranking Umineko music's opinions better? I was pulling names of songs from that topic and saw you posted there a few times. (and Ermine apparently)

Yours are better, but I can't really discern what grade you're giving to each song, so I dunno. To be fair, nobody took his list that seriously, though generally for reasons that I wouldn't agree with, so...

Also, something is very wrong if you don't get the English names from clicking on the song titles.

Why not argue with my list, just for kicks?

Maybe I have an old patch or something, I dunno.

I can't really argue with any placement on your list besides wingless. I like all the other songs and I'm not enough of a nitpicky douche to argue because a song that's awesome is over a song that's almost as awesome.

hawhaw

It's impossible that you'd have an old patch that would do that unless a portion of EP4's text was entirely incomplete. That's more of an installation error.

Anyway, I'm listening to EP8 music. Without proper context, I can't really get going when listening to them, so I'm going to make estimates. Lastend Conductor will probably get third place, Revelations (inst, vocals suck) might be somewhere on that list, and nothing else will be in my top twenty:

Hishou is on the edge of being on it, but it fuses the meh parts of Touhou tracks and all of dai's battle themes from EP4 to create something that's better, but still iffy.
LixAxil has a good sound, but an incredibly monotonous opening, and it repeats too quickly; it's like half a minute of "okay," half a minute of bad and a minute of "eh, decent."
More Fear is better than any other version of Dread of the Grave, that doesn't suddenly make it amazing when every other Dead of the Grave was meh.

It doesn't look like any -45 tracks are on here, and there are only 11 tracks, so lolfailsoundtrack

Oh look, PS3 graphics patch is done for EP1. Too bad I'm not reading it again just for that and voices.

+ Btw EP5 shall not be started until I finish watching Eureka Seven, however long that takes.

You want to like Bern, and her first appearance in which she does something is EP5. You're also missing the Intellectual Rapist, but... she's pretty unpleasant.

Spring break starts for me next week and I'll have plenty of time for it then.

Hate (1-3/10):
Featherine
Kanon
Cornelia

Shannon

George Tier (lol/10):
George

why is kasumi over people

Because she doesn't actively decrease the quality of the VN; she's just some random douche who gets killed in one episode and is never seen again. Everyone below her, on the other hand...

Well, Cornelia doesn't do anything to the quality of the VN, but I hate her anyway. Everyone else actually does make every episode in which they're prominently featured worse, though.

Also George isn't that bad.

Shut your **** mouth.

His relationship with Shannon is the worst aspect of Umineko (or it was, up until Shannon was revealed to be a persona for his crossdressing crazy of an aunt/uncle who is in love with Battler; unhappy ending for George, yay!); he gains some cool points in EP4 only to completely lose them by the end with his encounter Gaap, and proceeds to fail even more in EP6, where he reveals that he's perfectly willing to kill his mother just to prove that he's a big boy now. That has to be the most pathetic display in all of Umineko, and the author has the gall to be on his side.

did you watch that **** yet

16/50

+ a movie

>_>

i hate you so much

Also I leave for a vacation a week from today, and the week I return SRWZ2 comes out and will take top priority for my time. So.

Alright, this deserves punctuation.

I hate you so much.

Maybe if you're lucky I'll watch it all in a the next 2-3 days and immediately start EP5 after that. You should definitely get your hopes up for that happening.

Hell if that'll happen.

Trying to get custom firmware on my PSP. There's a ONScripter emulator, so if all goes well I'll be able to read Umineko during downtime while I'm gone. Whether I'll actually do that or not will have to wait though, the main priority is to get ISOs running so I can have a whole new library of games to exhaust.

What kind of PSP did you get? Because if it's a 3000, I don't think those are hackable with the current firmware.

Until this year they weren't, I decided to look into it today and it seems that somebody has developed some decent custom firmware for 6.35 that runs on 3000s. I haven't tried it yet but its a reliable enough source.

Well fucknuggets. Link?

http://wololo.net/wagic/cfw-for-dummies-6-35-or-below-3000-go-ta8v3/

Excellent.

Success, ISOs are functional.

Alright yeah my memory stick isn't big enough to hold Umineko so that isn't happening. OH WELL.

lol

GUESS IT'LL JUST BE ANOTHER MONTH OR SO UNTIL I START EP5 THEN.

EP5 and EP6 are pretty mediocre, so eh. The purpose of this objective was fulfilled at EP3; I just wanted you to continue because it was interesting.

Of course, you're still worthless vermin, but I don't have enough energy right now to pursue that angle.

But still, I WANT TO BELIEVE

Have you watched anything yet, reprobate?

39/50

Of course.

its so ugly that it actually works

First episode is free too. Don't really intend to read it anyways, it's even shittier looking than Umineko and I already watched it all.

loli rena

...and now for something less ugly:

Behold! Ange's Kotomine impression!

Well it was a huge **** pain, but I got Umineko running on my iPhone.

She's too old.

yeah man i've got all that jew gold and ****

fucking greedy bastard

and you dont spend that shit on anything that you cant steal, fuckin dirty jew

...*Needs to go talk to ESH*

dealwithit.jpg

ahaha.wav

You deserve every insult and religious slur ever for not loving Eva-Beatrice.

50/50

Pretty great show tbqh.

movie tiem

EDIT: Oh yes, rate every Umineko arc so far.

4>3>>>>>>>>>>2>1

I thought 4's highs were higher than 3's despite it being less consistently great. It could sort of go either way.

lolno

I am surprised that you tolerated Ange. I actually liked her as well (though she sucks in every other episode, and from what I've heard and read from episode 8, she's even worse there), but a whole load of people hated her guts. I'll rate and rank them right now:

1) - 7.5/10 - I actually kinda liked all of the scenes that contributed to its poor pacing, and EP1 actually made a pretty good horror story. I don't really want to play it again, hence why I haven't done anything with PS3 Umineko, but I still enjoyed it and managed to finish it in 3-4 days.
2) - 5.5/10 - Oh god, I hate Shannon and Kanon so much. Beato's banter with Battler was mildly amusing, but it failed to balance out the fact that everything on the gameboard managed to be the second worst in the entire series. Of course, everything from the 10th Twilight on was pretty cool.
3) - 9/10 - I don't need to explain this one, but I will. I love Eva-Beatrice more than I should and it's a shame that she never becomes important enough to even have a TIPs panel in any other episode (Except for 8). Still, as much as I love her, I loved every scene that culminated at her expense. Everything from Battler versus Evatrice on was completely and utterly amazing. The only problem with this one is that the first half was tolerable, but meh.
4) - 8.5/10 - I don't mind Ange's story and by the end of 1998, I ended up really liking her, but her story interrupts what's probably the best gameboard in the entire series. But yeah, I loved the joke gameboard with all of its shonen cliches and Goldsmith's absolutely ridiculous personality. Everything after it ended was pretty cool too, and you're obligated to cheer for Battler when he manages to not lose for the first time in all of Umineko.

-------

5) - 7/10
6 - 5.5/10
7) - 9/10

7 >= 3 > 4 > 1 > 5 > 6 >= 2.

I'll say my piece about the Chiru episodes as you go.

I don't understand what there is to hate about Ange. I thought her last scene when dir was playing was one of the best scenes in the series. Most of her story wasn't very interesting except the end and the last scene that happened with her at the private school where she was rejecting magic and stuff, but that doesn't make her any worse as a character.


Well it kind of cheapens her ending if she can come back.

Well... she doesn't come back for most of the series. She just ends up being played with and tortured by Featherine and Bernkastel. EP8 is different, though.

There's a better example for a character who isn't Ange: In EP6, Erika gets a pretty cool death that actually looks fairly respectable; it's really the only moment where she does anything cool in the entire series and it's actually a pretty fair place to retire her as a character. In EP8, She's brought back just so that she can do nothing of note.

Ryukishi is pretty bad when it comes to deciding when to put down characters.

Wow that was a pretty dumb movie what the fu(http://)ck was even the point of it

Now go play EP5 and introduce yourself to the biggest prick in Umineko.

EDIT: So, I played a bit of UBW and every time I look at the character sprites, I don't ****ing care for any of Takeuchi's designs outside of "woah, it's another character who looks exactly like Ryougi Shiki." I mean, they're better drawn than anything in Umineko, but they're so generic that I would end up comparing Umineko's art favorably. Would you agree with me that, in this sense, Umineko's art is better than Fate/stay night's?

So the only thing you're making fun of is the main character's uninspired design?

No, the only thing worthy of making fun of when it comes to Takeuchi's art is the fact that he's fond of recycling character designs:

- Shirou looks exactly like Tomoe.
- Kotomine looks like Araya with a healthy skin tone.
- Sakura looks like Fujino.
- Kuzuki looks somewhat like Kurogiri.
- Tohno Shiki looked exactly like the original design for Mikiya; that was changed for the KnK movies.
- Nrvnqsr looks like Araya with shorter, gray hair.
- Akiha looks like Azaka.
- Arcuied looks like Ryougi Shiki.
- Ayako looks like Ryougi Shiki.
- Canaan looks like Ryougi Shiki.

...and hell, I know that I'm missing some other characters. I mean, I can suspend my standards when playing Umineko and go "holy ****" at several of the faces, but I can't do anything with Takeuchi's designs because they're so generic.

Oh sorry forgot to respond to that. Yeah obviously Type-Moon designs are highly repetitive, but I've never really minded and I like the cooler ones like Dark Sakura.

Haven't actually said where I've been yet. I was in London for a few days, and right now I'm in Paris. I should be officially back sometime one Tuesday, I've been posting from my phone recently when I'm not busy.

Anyway, I wasn't busy today so I decided to seek out a manga shop and other stuff along the way. It's unbelievable how much manga there was, there's probably more that was officially translated into French in that store than even exists officially translated into English. Also I knocked down a tower of boxes of figures and stuff. Anyways I bought a Revoltech Gurren Lagann so it was cool, French weeaboos are pretty chill.

The last time I went on vacation was when I was five years old.

I still hate you so much.

Maniac's dream vacation.

Moving to the next city over.

Moving into my university's campus in the next county over will be my equivalent of someone else going to every other country in the world.

Severing that taproot's probably going to be hard, though.

lolmichigansucks

I hate this **** state, but the alternative would have probably been either somewhere in Wyoming or Atlanta. Then again, living in Atlanta would probably have been better than this; at least they get good musical acts.

Play-Asia is preparing shipping for SRWZ2 early. It's a good thing I won't have to waste any time on Umineko when I get back. Now to continue masturbating to the PV.

Everything about your existence is wrong. Why were you even born?

I spawned from your hatred of everything.

Then it's sorta like that you are to me what Evatrice is to Eva?

sure

You still suck, since you're nothing like Evatrice. Well, you're a douchebag, but that's it.

I would kill you endlessly if I could, does that make me any better?

Killing me once would be a herculean task for you. But not for my darling... *swoon*

Oh fu(http://)ck yes ISO leaked, getting.

It's like you're still posting in this topic just to **** me off.

That's all this topic is even for.

You only played Umineko just so that you could tell me that Eva-Beatrice was a terrible character?

I could do that before playing Umineko and did. I guess that validates it though.


I guess I could mention that I read some of EP5 off my phone before it crashed and I couldn't continue. Not much had occurred, the point it ended at was Rudolf and Kyrie talking about how Kinzo was probably dead IIRC. Nothing much to mention about it.

That's a dick move, bro. Don't be hatin' on my arbitrarily-picked favorite characters. Especially one as adorable as Eva-Beatrice.

At least she's better than Reinforce.

When you look at my list of favorite characters, do you ever wonder why the hell I even like them? After playing EP3, did you think that I was crazy for liking that bitch so much?

I have no idea how Reinforce is even something somebody can be a fan of. I can see how someone might like Eva-Beatrice just because she's amusing I guess.

Reinforce's voice is absolutely, unrelentingly sexy. I cannot think of any character who has a better voice that Reinforce because I have never encountered one. The fact that she pretty awesome in combat (all 1 battle that she participates in!) adds to it. But honestly, what was your reaction to my fanboyism for Evatrice after you played EP3?

I didn't think much of it but still fully intended to hate on her just because you like her. She's a ****, but really that's no reason to think that nobody could like her, apparently people do.


I don't even remember this. I should watch A's again.

IT WORKS

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That battle takes up all of 2 episodes and a portion of a third. If you can't remember that, how on Earth could you remember anything about A's?

Evatrice is a bitch, but she's adorable, amusing, has an amazing outfit and loving her is great way to disturb you. Oh, and...

SRWZ2.1 completed. Awesome albeit totally anticlimactic since almost every show ended their plot halfway through. APPARENTLY THE FOLLOWUP SHOULD BE OUT SOON THOUGH.

Anyways Seacats should resume shortly.

douchekastel doesn't like being surrounded by other douches

Also, I want to throw this out, since you love Kinzo so much: I can't wait for you to play EP7 just so that a certain spoiler could come down on you like a brick wall.

What's the best thing about Kinzo? Something about him is inherently fascinating to me, but I don't know why since I haven't read/played/watched any of this series. It's as if he was an old friend/mentor of mine, but I've just forgotten all of our interactions.

It's simply because his OH DESIRE is to SACRIFICE SHEEP TO GOD

Its because he's a crazy ass(http://)hole old man that looks really silly.

What's the rapiest thing that he does? I sense **** in him for some reason.

He imprisoned a young girl in a mansion secluded from anything in a forest so he could do whatever he wanted with her.

His actions speak to me. I must watch/play this show/thing now.

Animu's probably better for you, but Maniac'll ridicule you and it.

Started. Erika is such a Mary Sue jeez

EP7:


lolerika. INTELLECTUAL RAPIST

So I was going to draw Evatrice but I decided that was dumb and drew Nanoha instead. I'm planning on rewatching it and forgot how cute her outfit was.

(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2366/nanoha.jpg)

Anyways

Evatrice has a cuter outfit.

Oh, and fuck you.

No.

Actually I'm thinking I'll draw her today because I'm in a drawing mood suddenly.

Yes, you bitch. Eva-Beatrice's outfit is perfect, amazing and every other overly positive description. It's a third of the reason why I love her so much; it's just that awesome.

Just start playing EP5 already so that we can have you divert your hate to Erika.

Oh lawl.

They're porting the fighter to 360 in Japan. With new characters.

lol

Those must be the dumbest picks for new characters ever. Stop being coy about using Chiru characters, R07.

Speaking of dumb characters!

(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8437/evatrice.png)

You're welcome.

...and for that comment, expect to find yourself in a pinewood box, six feet underground, in the near future.

Looking forward to it.

Why is Meduka the best anime cahracter?

I don't even know who that is.

Anyway, that picture isn't as ugly as I expected it to be.

By the way, do you have an art class? I wonder what people would think of a grown man drawing nothing but little girls in one.

I've taken numerous art classes and never drew little girls in any of them. If I were to take one now maybe I would just to fu(http://)ck with people because I don't really care anymore though.

I would bet that you weren't such a disgusting weeaboo when you last took an art class.

A little over a year ago, it wasn't that long ago, you could be the judge on how much more weeaboo I am now than then I guess. I had long since given up drawing before I decided to try it again however many months ago now, so I wasn't really going to make any animus anyways, I was working on some graphic design stuff and some painting mostly.

...and now you're drawing little girls. Gotcha.

Well yeah.

That's the measure of how much more of a weeaboo you've become.

Its more like I got into Touhou more. As far as 'weeaboo' goes I wouldn't say I'm any different, just some shift in interest.

That's not weeaboo, it's just creepy.

yup. lol u

Man who cares. From a general public perspective almost everything I've taken interest in over the last several years is creepy.

I was not expecting this to be an actual thing that Erika would describe herself with.

I think that Erika is the only character who can be called a complete monster without the need for a spoiler. Bern being one is a reveal, Eva-Beatrice's entire existence is sorta considered a spoiler and there's another one later on that comes out from left field. But Erika? "Hey, Battler, I'm an intellectual rapist, wouldn't it be fun to solve the epitaph so that we could laugh at all of the chaos that would ensue?"

Sounds like my kind of girl.

(http://jbcs.info/Umineko/screenshot/umineko.pl?bg=ase&sprites=chr%2Cchc%2Cchl&chr=cib%2C75%2C50%2C100%2C0&chc=chu%2C50%2C50%2C100%2C0&chl=chx%2C25%2C50%2C100%2C0&text=&format=png&quality=90)

She's pretty funny.

Not at all. She's a huge fucking bitch. Her personality is essentially Eva-Beatrice, but worse. How the hell could you think she's funny?

She's been generally more subdued than Eva-Beatrice so far so her bit(http://)chiness just comes off as more amusing than insane.

Subdued my ass. She's the exact same person with a different, significantly more detestable approach. If you come out of this saying that Erika is a better character than Eva-Beatrice, I will hunt you down.

You like Eva-Beatrice. Erika is Eva-Beatrice but more so. Therefore you should like Erika.

Hahahahahaha... no, you fuckwit.

SPOILERS My dislike of Eva-Beatrice is greatly exaggerated to see you lose your **** over it END SPOILERS

But I'll probably like Erika more so get to that.


He only likes Eva-Beatrice for her outfit that Erika lacks even though hers is better anyways.

spoilers you're a total ****ing idiot if you think that i cant read "mid-tier." Which is basically the same thing in the end, it's like the trash bin for characters.


I like her because she's completely, utterly and totally fucking insane. I'd still think she's cute if that was taken from her, but I wouldn't like her nearly as much. Erika isn't insane; she's an unlikable malignant tumor of a ****, and not in Eva-Beatrice' amusing "WAHAHAHA ENDLESS WITCH" kind of way, but in a realistic way.

Second day has begun, generally underwhelmed so far but that's typical. Best part is MORE 34 AND BERNKASTEL for sure.

Far as I can tell this game board is a more typical mystery situation and the mysteries in this are bullshit because there's so much that could possibly be going on.

Chiru sucks. That's all that could be said. EP5, 6 and 8 are on par with EP1 and EP2.

Welp. Can't really stop reading now.

+ Delicious new profile.

spoilers faggot

Nobody gives a sh(http://)it you douchefu(http://)ck

btw douche isn't censored which is pretty ridiculous considering all the other things that this censor censors

douche-bag is censored, though.

Everyone SHOULD give a shit about Umineko, you fag (not censored). I mean, I'd spoil everything from the question arcs in a heartbeat EXCEPT for Bernkastel being a complete monster.

whats being spoiled

spoilers sa2 is a retard wate thats not a spoiler

no u

srsly though

look

!hmm

You're a lost cause.

Hey, you know what, Ahriman? In retrospect, I find it fitting that you like Erika. It's pretty apt after that Goldsmith profile.

I'm sorry for not following Umineko or taking the time to read every post in this topic, other than out of boredom.

I love how anal that reaction is; this isn't a matter of information, it's a matter of you being completely retarded.

Because I have no interest in Umineko, so whatever picture is in Ahriman's profile means nothing to me?

Alright then.

It's spoilers because Bern is portrayed for the first half as pretty mellow and emotionless and being on Battler's side, and then ate the end of the first half she turns out to be evil and insane as she appears in this profile. Of course, the impact of that is somewhat lessened by how one of the first things she says is that she is the cruelest witch, but whatever.

daww u mad sa2

/ignore

Hey Ahriman, how is this?

Which I'd only know if I was following Umineko, so yeah.

If you read that, you wouldn't even need to ask.

well yeah but i dont.

i just wondered in cause i regularly do that ****.

Pretty kawaii

Erika has the right idea in mind tbqf

why is she in a swimsuit there

Because:

1) fanon!Erika is a complete and utter perverted rapist.
2) Erika wears a school swimsuit in game, though she doesn't have any sprites with it.
3) The school swimsuit makes her look significantly more perverted.

I think I've heard dead angle play at least like half a dozen times in this episode alone. Would be nice to hear some other songs.

dead angle is awesome though

But there are so many other awesome songs.

I never do get tired of hearing dir though.

+ I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST KINZO TO JUMP THREE STORIES OUT A WINDOW

are you sh(http://)itting me how does that argument work at all

++ "Please stand. On one leg."

Yeah okay Erika is a total bi(http://)tch.

+++ What game over already? Alright cool I guess.

Digging the trial so far. I'll likely finish tomorrow if it doesn't drag too much.

Trial is the first time Patchwork Chimera plays, and **** everyone who disagrees with me on the topic of its awesomeness.

This game is pretty bull****. I don't understand how Bernkastel is using red here, she's on the wrong side and all she would have to do is state the truth and she could win immediately.

+ Forgot to say, Dlanor's crazyface is pretty awesome.

EP5 completed.

But of course, all the real end content is in a Tea Party again. ?(http://)?? is awesome, and I was not expecting more dreamenddischarger.

...and it will never play again.

Except maybe in the second half of EP8. I dunno.

So, Erika. Total bitch or megabitch?

Is that what the game looks like while you play it? If so, why?

Also superwhiny.


Good question.

my notes

So, EP5 Erika vs Evatrice, who is more likable?

Need answer

Evatrice is the better character.

Success!

Though Erika is a lot more likable in EP6 than in EP5. You might just end up liking her more than Evatrice after that episode.

Summary of your opinions on EP5?

4 > 3 > 5 > 2 > 1

The game board was pretty dull, pretty much the worst besides 1. Magic explanation was barely utilized and there was hardly a point when it felt like it was impossible for a human, the argument just came down to which human did it. The ending didn't even really work for me since all Battler did was prove he could also have been the culprit, but this still supports the idea that humans could have performed the crime, so Beaton still loses.

Aside from the game board though, Bernkastel, 34, and Erika were fun, and the end was awesome, so It was considerably better than the first couple episodes.

EP1 is totally better than EP2. How could you honestly say that cloying GeorgexShannon/JessicaxKanon shit could possibly be preferable to a pretty damn decent horror story?

EP2 has more Beato.

Aw yeah, Daiteikoku is out. Time to see how far AGTH+Atlas goes with this.

What part of the series inspired the most introspectiveness in you, Ahriman?

The part when Spring asks questions that he doesn't actually care about the answer to.

It also has complete **** make up 80% of its contents. At least half of EP1 is pretty decent.

AGTH didn't work, but ITH does! Not that it helps much in understanding gameplay since its mostly described through graphics, but that info is slowing going up on the wiki.

Haven't played much, characters are mostly less interesting than in their other games I played. Best are loli Hitler, genki Goebbels, and SUPER Douglas MacArthur. Also Rance cameo.

Not that anyone cares though.

Loli Hitler?

That reminds me of a picture of trap Mengele...

Who of course looks nothing like Hitler but nobody would want that.

Also I like how the Chinese emperor is portrayed as an evil douche that kills his own subordinates when in WWII most of what Japan did was slaughter innocent Chinese people themselves.

i'd hit dat so hard

Are Koreans giant pansies in this?

As far as I know Korea doesn't show up in any form. Poland is pretty lol though, they're present for 2 turns and then Germany conquers them.

No Korea is great way to **** others off. It's like this is laced with racial tension.

Actually, now I'm wondering how stereotypical other nations are in this.

Italy.

(http://miscgamer.com/files/images/news/2011/01/alice_v20.jpg)

Don't think America has a group shot, but they're pretty funny because of all the Engrish.

JUSTICE
FU(http://)CK
SH(http://)IT
JAPS

So, is this actually depicting Japan's activities during WWII with a positive light?

Of course. Pearl Harbor never happened and America declared war on Japan because they refused to comply with trade demands. Also China is evil and was picking on Japan. Any references to genocide by any country is removed. FDR was a figurehead for large corporations to control and run the country with.

This game is awesome.

Alright, I need to acquire this ****.

I've had to restart the game several times because I keep ending up in bad situations though.

This is absolutely rage-inducing racism.

I know.

It's from Alicesoft. All they ever make are lolicon parodies, Rance and ridiculous **** like this. Good luck finding something from them that isn't offensive.

Alicesoft will not stop until female versions of every male historical figure has been raped in one of their games.

Apparently somebody is working on an interface patch for Daiteikoku. Might just wait for that to make this considerably more playable, assuming that that's actually happening, I haven't seen much on it.

Also decided to do Evatrice lineart.

Fabulous.

aaaaaaaaaaa

So, when is EP6 going to be? We're not in any hurry, mind you; EP6 is horrible.

Probably soonish. Dependent on whether I decide to keep playing Daiteikoku tomorrow or not.

God, your Evatrice has three fingers. It's like the opposite of that one villain from the Princess Bride. Do you hate her that much?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Evatrice

Her other fingers are supposed to be wrapped around the staff, but I screwed up the perspective a bit so it looks like they're not there.

You're mixing up perspective and proportion again. Since she obviously only has 3 fingers.

Again? What?

Perspective is the issue because at the angle her hand is at you should be able to see parts of more fingers and you can't. Missing fingers have nothing to do with proportion at all, if the issue was that I forgot them it would be an issue of anatomy.

Let's just say that it's magic. The witch's illusion, as it were.

so whos a better artist me or ryukishi

ryukishi

Holy **** Rance just showed up out of nowhere and took all my China what the ****

oh lol

hahaha

I'm done downloading the iso, time to check this out.

Good luck with figuring out how everything works.

+Also just entered the Hitler route hell yeah

**** yes dating loli hitler

So I guess instead of nukes America created super cyborgs or something. Also they had a Statue of Liberty laser cannon.

+Soviet Union is down, but I did not get loli Stalin. She's not dead so I assume I can get her joining later. America has one territory left and they're down to and the only big nation left is the British Empire.

++Herp, whole map conquered. Now I guess I just sit around and trigger story events until the end.

EP6?

Tomorrow. Although I am replaying Daiteikoku for the true end because I got the shitty normal end, so I'm doing that too.

Aw, you know that you want more Erika. <3

Erika is worse than loli Hitler.

What about Eva-Beatrice, who appears for all of 20 minutes in episode 6 for no real reason?

True end clear, final fights were pretty awesome. Starting EP6 now.

+ Wow, it's been a while since Shannon or Kanon have said anything, I forgot how boring this was.

Currently riddling. I like how everyone hates Erika this time around.

++ YOU'RE A MOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
lolwtf erika

This scene had Worldend Dominator, dir, Mortal Stampede and Happiness of Marionette in it. There is no problem here.

+

Seriously? I'm loving the game board here, it's far from horrible.

++

Dreamenddischarger plays during the Natsuhi murder scene here. Very briefly, but still.

+++ Since Erika doesn't have detective authority now and she spent the first day talking about mysteries and murders its pretty unreasonable that nobody even suspects her.

You're actually liking this shit? What the fuck is wrong with you?

I'm not sure what the problem is.

Problems, problems... terrible characters, Kanon and Shannon bullshit, lame battles, George, jerkass loser Battler, shitty application of Moetrice, and most of all, that godawful love contest between the worst characters in all of Umineko that basically becomes the aspect around which every non-Erika event on the game board revolves...

Here's a fun fact: I gobbled up nearly every bit of Umineko with absolutely no problems. Even EP2, for which I have nothing but hateful words in retrospect, was engrossing. I hit a brick wall on EP6; it was the very first and very last fucking moment in all of Umineko where I considered reading it a chore. It is absolutely, unrelentingly terrible; I use it in order to discern who is completely fucking retarded just by seeing if they liked this shit or not. The only reason why the episode isn't completely awful is because everything that involves Erika is excellent; you know that your episode sucks when Erika, whom I absolutely despise, makes it awesome.

Well.

You're retarded.

What would a proper application be? She's the worst part of this, she'd be better left dead.

EP3. It's a different variety of Moetrice, but she made that story significantly better. It has been established that the original Beato is dead and gone, so expecting a return of that concept is silly, but I still just absolutely hate EP6's Moetrice; it's like the story wants to **** the corpse of a previously awesome character.

She completely completely severed the heads of all those she killed.

Yeah Erika is pretty awesome in this.

(http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/134/ep6complete.png)

EP6 completed.

I'll probably move right along into EP7. Judging by ??(http://)?? The concept sounds awesome.
