Discussion concerning Higurashi, Umineko, Rose Guns Days, Higanbana, TRianThology, and all other 07th Expansion works.► 07th Expansion links: https://rentry.co/07th-expPrevious thread: >>51323743
There are still fools that deny the existence of Beato Paizuri.
>>51357435Would Beato even know how to do that?
Whatever happened to that anon who drew the mola mola rika nipah stuff?
>>51357359Cute and canon
What are umineko side stories about? I only read the main 8 episodes.
>>51357556Most of the people in this general probably don't even know who he was.
>>51357437Of course he would. Why wouldn't he?
>>51359303Why would he?
>>51357359CUTE!!
So we all agree that Satoko x Keiichi is OTP right?
>>51360255
>>51360255Cute and canon I'm afraid
Akasaka is so cute...
>>51361959fat mion
>>51362847Good.Piggy uncle.
>>51361959>>51362847>YOU GUYS YOU GUYSIt's too perfect
>>51360255Of course <3
>>51364746Ange literally imagining the other two.She’s nuts.Just episodes of her and her made up tulpas. All that money, why didn’t she get the good meds.
>>51365351crazy how ryukishi managed to rip saber off wholesale and people don't even take it into account in yasu arguments
>>51365726That old gothic loli magazine where he lifted most of the designs from used to get posted a lot.
>>51366203https://forum.rokkenjima.org/t/ryu07s-character-design-origins-full-umineko-spoilers-image-heavy/2150that plus ripping the plot from that dark mansion series. what a hack!
>>51365726However the seiyuu carries 70% of the argument imo and according to him he wasn't one bit in charge of casting.So it could just be someone at Alchemist looking at a blonde noble type named "Lion" and going "yeah I'm thinking Saber".
>>51366315>plus ripping the plot from that dark mansion seriesOh yeah, the novel he ripped off should be getting translated in a year or two
>>51367160>Oh yeah, the novel he ripped off should be getting translated in a year or twoneato.i also recently found out a company called SouffleSoup did an Umineko collab line of some sort (ie recreating the copied outfits) but apparently they also just cancelled everyone's orders and basically scammed everyone lol.
>>51368439Lmao common for Umineko.There was that Unineko Gold project a few years back.Also there was this thing called Ciconia Phase 2. Kek.
>>51368607oh i fucking forgot about umineko goldthat's the game dub right? where they had a male man doing a girly voice for kanon when they could and should have just had a woman voice him right? he sounded so fucking terrible, and don't even get me started on the lore implications
>>51369350>all those guesses that'd have (fake) tits>despite battler blatantly having flat chest on his back
>>51369188Oh god I didn't know. EN dubs never again.Even taking that in good faith, men cannot pretend to be women. Good seiyuu can pull off shotas and boyish men but it's just silly to try the other way around.
>>51369610Big tits, chunky thighs, but my eyes went straight to her tummy. Specifically her navel.
>>51368462Finally some long overdue trans athlete representation in Japanese female boxing leagues.
>>51369994Why do you think Satoko is trans?
>>51370642I meant the fruity transppei aunt fag or whatever WTC fans you call it now.
https://myanimelist.net/profile/womanfeetloverRate his list, /07/th
>>51370974Okay sure but unrestrict your list so I can see the hated anime too. You lolzillian zoomer Freehomo.
>>51368607Was Ryukishi sincerely on board with that shit? Or did they launch the kickstarter just assuming that enough money could buy anything? Though I could see Ryukishi saying "sure, if you raise me $1million for my personal cut, I'll let you do whatever you want lol."
>>51369759it didn't even sound too bad for a young man character, it's just hilarious that it made no sense for kanon because of reasons, and they should have known that and simply just not done it and had a woman voice him instead. and yet they chose to do it that way.
>>51371762sounds like one of those cases where they're trying too hard BECAUSE they know what happens later on, and they were trying to 'hide the spoiler' by going with a wimpy male voice instead of making the obvious choice of having a female VA and inadvertently 'proving' kanon's a woman (despite that not really meaning that, but you know how it is)
I don’t see the need to milk Higrashi anymore.No new anime.Ruikoshi should make a new when they cry. Sure the flying zoomer mental health cross cultural one failed but no he can do it right.
>>51372532The fact all the short stories R07 released recently have been just printed booklets, no VN releases at all makes me think 07th Expansion lost some staff after Ciconia for some reason. They did lose the main programmer during these Ciconia delays due to health issues at least.
>>51370689He canonically has the biggest dick out of all the male cast.
>>51373088poor satoko...
>>51373088His competitors are a middleschooler with a small fur seal, another middleschoolder on life support, a gay old cop, a pedo, and a cuck photographer.There is no competition.
you know sometimes i wonder if you counted how many times teppei's been brought up by these fags if it'd end up being more than in the VNs themselves
>>51373088>>51373425Anon, Troonppei is trans, she doesn't have a penis.
>>51373456There is a tip in minagoroshi with the pink girl saying he has big dick
>>51373465You just misunderstood what she meant when she said that Troonppei-chan got many fat cocks (for her own pleasure.)
>>51373427are you crazy? He's been brought up by schizos exponentially more times than he could ever be relevant in the actual story.
>>51373395I don't think he meant Satoko, she's not a he
>>51373427Satokei and Satoko simply enrages trannies far too much for there ever to be peace until the day they finally ACK themselves sadly.
>>51373427We're in a post-Gou world bro.Teppei "redemption" was one of the big sins of that crapshoot.
>>51372548You mean the director Nakao Boushi right?Not really sure what the director role would do in this situation.But I loved his own VN, Myth. It's really flawed but I loved the surrealness of it. And how it kind of toured WTC styles so to speak, a small town mystery Higurashi part 1 a ridiculously complicated metaverse Umi part 2 and a Sci Fi epilogue that, I believe, spoils what Cicionia is going to be.
>>51373815>Not really sure what the director role would do in this situation.He also handled the actual implementation of the program's script for Ciconia, not just telling someone else how the presentation should be handled.
>>51372548>hack status
canonically
>>51379011
>>51380525the uu-uu monster is TOO cute
Shion
Shioner
The Shionest
>>51380881Too bad about Abridged. Changed his name and his art is like 200 pounds heavier.
>>51357359I started rewatching 2000s higurashi so I could watch the new seasons and damn, some of those arcs didnt age well. Lot of otaku nonsense writing gets off the charts sometimes. Rika space time trsvel autism still makes it worth watching though.Also Mio, Rena, Shion all whores lusting for NiNii cock and then latching on my boy Keichi as consolation prize feels a bit like ntr. I now feel Satoko x Keichii might truly be the best pairing
>>51381824catering to 'wah she's a loli' bitching when he was literally named after satoko was the first misstep, then he started focusing on 2hus and nazi uniforms and before you know it he's completely incapable of drawing anything other than blimps
>>51381843I watched the old Deen Higurashi recently too and I really love it a lot more with proper expectations. The post Tsumi Rena interview and the new anime only Satoko arc in Kai held up pretty well.However you will never be able to capture an 80-something hour VN in 2 seasons. It just can't happen.>Shion lusting for NiNii cock and then latching on my boy KeichiSeriously, this is one of the biggest missteps. Meakashi arc and Shion's whole character arc got absolutely FUCKED. I can't believe they don't even play Dear You. I completely fabricated it playing in the anime out of my memory of seeing it in the VN.Anyway the new anime fucking sucks and everyone hates it, have fun.
>>51381824>>51381904imo negev is the only girl he drew okay. His style was always shit and even current negev art sucks.
>>51381904He did nazi feet art first, but with a different handle.
>>51382761It was soulful
>>51382440It's not that I hate it or something though, it's still very entertaining but it has its things, which I kinda just let it slide as nonsense otaku writing. I didn't read the VN, but I didn't like Shion murdering spree arc, mostly for the conclusion of Keichi/Rena discovering the Rika/Satoko murders and being all friendship about it (?). I also didn't like Rena's arc much, it feels like it went off the rails with everyone accepting being involved in some murdering cover, and the conclusion using again lot of power friendship and stuff to solve Rena's being loony. I just didn't like it. I agree that the VN experience may be completely different but idk.For me, the Keichi arc is still the strongest one by far. The overall curse mystery and Rika outweigh a lot of the other stuff.
>>51381824I, for one, love when girls are drawn as thicc sex goddesses, so I don't mind.I'm also happy he didn't go down the fat fetish slippery slope.
The strongest male character in Higurashi, from an objective point of view.
>>51383203>2024what the ungodly fuckthis looks like it's from 2011 deviantart, even dow nto the gradients usedI would have assumed this was insanely early art of his if anythingholy hell I like nazi porn and I hate this guy
>>51384264to give him some benefit of the doubt, going off of rena's hair that's pre-renderingnow this still doesn't stop it from looking like something off of deviantart, and i'm sure you won't be surprised to learn he has a deviantart page (that hasn't been touched for so long it still has his old name on it) that's probably the best source of his old art after his rebrand and kemono dying getting rid of the paid stuffto be honest i'm pretty sure the main reason he got so much traction here is because he was a footfag drawing WTC, and footfags were (somehow) the majority in here at one point, so they were fine pretending a guy who was kinda shit at drawing and refused to draw the girl he was named after properly was somewhat okay at drawing
I'm weak to big breasts.
>>51384351https://files.catbox.moe/j1709t.pngAgain, he drew Negev damn good, and even the nazi fetish I don't mind because I largely share it. But fuck, does he clearly not know how to draw anything from the tits down. Picrel is probably his best work and it's probably the most simple portrait deal you learn to draw when drawing naked women.
>>51384213I don't get it, what would Akasaka be doing on the moon?
>>51384213Why is this troons dilator glowing?
Spoilers for Umineko:I was reading the Tea Party for episode 4, when Battler finally starts using blue to theorize about what happened, and I wanted to refresh my memory on the happenings from ep. 1, unfortunately I made the mistake of just blindly searching for it and I ended up reading that some "Yasu" kills Natsuhi on chapter 1, I don't even know who Yasu is.How badly did I fuck up? Is it impactful enough to stop reading? A great part of the enjoyment you get from a mystery novel is that you don't know who the culprit is, because if you do things can turn pointless extremely quickly.Would an apt comparison be already knowing that there are only 17 people alive in the island instead of 18 (and Kinzo already being dead) before starting the VN?Is the killer question revealed in a "dragged on" manner, slowly, throughout the Answers arc, with a lot of red herrings and everything or is it a sudden reveal? I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the Answers Arc if the whole thing pivoted around the spoiler I just read.
>>51386975Yasu's just a stand-in name anon, don't worry about itIt's referencing an old Enix mystery game The Portopia Serial Murder Case if you've ever heard of that one, one of the pioneers of VNsThink of it like how Xenoblade fans hid the identity of the seventh party member by calling them Seven (until Smash just went and openly spoiled it, of course)
>>51387006You have no idea how relieved I am, thank you so much.I'll try not to be retarded again...
>>51386975The killer isn't revealed at all except through obtuse bullshit and it's fucking retarded
Anyone has the Mion image in good quality?
>>51387674yeah
>>51387775doko?
auauau...
>>51387775Post it
>>51387674You don't know how to reverse search?
Eva oba-san if she dog
>>51388743>when you ask what happened on rokkenjima and she gives you this look
>>51386975>How badly did I fuck up?Depends if you are smart or not. You can discover the culprit's identity by ep 5 easily if you paid attention but you won't have the motive, how they did it and a bunch of other stuff.>Is it impactful enough to stop reading?No, but you should stop reading because the answer arcs suck.>Would an apt comparison be already knowing that there are only 17 people alive in the island instead of 18 (and Kinzo already being dead) before starting the VN?No, retard. Knowing that doesn't reveal who the killer can't be by elimination.>Is the killer question revealed in a "dragged on" manner, slowly, throughout the Answers arc, with a lot of red herrings and everything or is it a sudden reveal?Read if for yourself.>I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the Answers Arc if the whole thing pivoted around the spoiler I just readWithout going into spoilers, the answer arcs have a really different dynamic from the question arcs. The mystery itself loses a lot of space in the narrative.
>>51388731Wouldn't have asked if I got any results

>>51389254This looks to be just a cropped image from what I sent before. And the blog that it came from looks merely a reposting blog, not from the actual artist.
>>51387674Have you tried translating the text above the image to see if it says the artist name?
>>51389506Shittiest WTC ship to ever exist
>>51389650Actually all yuri WTC ships are the shittiest to ever exist
Why is Satoko x Keiichi so cute and canon bros?
>>51389254Close enough.
>>51389653SatoRika goated tho
>>51390447lambdarika*
>>51389650>not natsuevathe only thing worse than a ship based on nothing is a ship based on mutual ACTUAL hatred
>>51389728The fiery passion that it inspires that K1 would even kill for. (I like Rena x K1 for the same reason)But Satoko needs it more than Rena.
>>51390453lambdacastel*
One Satoko isn't enough
>>51390649>one for your dick>one for your balls>one to make out with
>>51390600It takes a certain love to drive a man to murder and die for someone they love...
>>51389506Best WTC ship to ever exist
>>51390649i'd need at least 10 myself
>>51392768Rena is more of a Satsuki or Akiha type imo
>>51392517KILL Rosa (again).
Stopping Umineko near the end of Chapter 3 is the best decision I've ever made in my life.
>>51393302>No AngeYou are missing out
>>51393302And other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself.
