Original art VN.
Parker Price
The VN (patch the sprites and the music) > the Manga > The Anime
Christopher Baker
What's wrong with the music?
Brandon Brown
the new 2016 live action tv series
Oliver Lee
I like the anime because it has more gore but it still keeps the atmosphere of the VN. If you do read the VN, patch the sprites. Umineko is still better though
Chase Kelly
How should I read Umineko, manga or VN?
Mason Ramirez
I think that the other way works too: anime -> manga -> vn. That way with each step you get something new.
Kevin Richardson
VN, the anime is shit, good Op though
youtube.com
Zachary Price
But it's the same OP from the ps3 game. Also it was a discussion between the manga and the VN.
Nathaniel Russell
PS3 patched VN. The music is half of Umineko's worth, another 20% going to Kinzo and Beato's VAs, and the last 30% to episode 3's story.
Levi Reyes
Beatrices VA was perfect, as was EVAs.
Luke Phillips
Why isn't Higurashis music as good as Uminekos?
Jacob Allen
Eva was pure ham, and not in an endearing way like Kinzo (being SEELE 01 helped elevate him for me). It only felt like a sincere performance when she was shouting.
Higurashi attracted his posse of amazing composers.
Nathan Watson
Let's hope whenever he decides to make WTC5 it will have the same composers, the music really is something else, not a single bad track and there is about 100 songs.
Nathaniel Reyes
>WtC5
Never happening. His (very probably) more talented idea guy/beta reader died near the end of Umineko, and I hear his later novels were average.
Jack Howard
>I hear
I don't know about RGD but read Higanbana dude. It's phenomenal, like if you took out the mystery parts of Umi but doubled down on the dark comedy.
Nathaniel Davis
How's the music?
Josiah Peterson
VN. The anime is in such a big fucking hurry to get to the gore so that the ADD kids don't drop it in the first episode, that it skips most of the slice of life, which is meant to help you get to know the characters, and throws subtlety out the window.
Brandon Morris
The original Mangagamer release replaced some of the songs with some bull shit
Camden Lopez
When has DEEN ever done a good job at adapting anything?
Brody Parker
Great, not as god as Umineko of course

I got strong Higurashi vibes from it. It's pretty good, atmospheric. It's also pretty short, maybe two Higurashi parts in length. It's made up of short stories that interconnect. I really want a Night 3 because it's left kind of open.
Adam Evans
The first half of Higurashi was all public domain stuff grabbed from various websites. It didn't have music composed specifically for it until the second half.
Levi Martin
Is she using the same pose as the stakes? That lazy fuck wrote the same book 4 times with only minor differences, and now he's reusing his own art.
Justin Mitchell
Is it worth it waiting for this most recent retranslation?
Henry Butler
You're baiting but you still made me look.
Carson Foster
They adapted Rakugo beautifully.
Nathaniel Powell
I thought Rei and Kira were good.
I hear Konosuba saved anime last season.
Easton Johnson
how patch sprites and music?
Luis Cruz
>there are people that still don't understand the the VN is always the most complete and superior media
There is literally no adaption that surpasses the VN. The only one that comes close is Clannad (because the VN contains about 30 hours of useless garbage), but even then the important scenes aren't as well-done as they were in the VN.
Nolan Powell
Then debate between the manga and the VN.
Lucas Martin
The manga is good for reading afterwards, but go with the VN.
Higurashi was originally all planned out with sound in mind. The music is top notch, sound effects too (hearing cicadas and good horror noises). Not to mention the VN is much longer, with tons more info. Subtle hints and the TIPS menu that are vital for the mystery aspect of the story. Personally I can't imagine reading the manga first and trying as hard to solve certain questions and looking back through the dialogue and TIPS for hints.

Jordan Gutierrez
Fucking lies, it's not hopeful at all

Eva's voice made pretty much every other line she said fappable. Based Miki Itou.

Absolute shit. Here's real music.
Jose Watson
What's with DEEN and the god tier OPs.
Even Vampire Knight has good OPs
Jackson Flores
So what exactly is coming out of that 10th anniversary thing?
Xavier Reed
Should I read this before Umineko?
Asher Cruz
Yes
Easton Rivera
The artstyle really puts me off
Benjamin Watson
And Umineko's looks any better? Get used to it or use the art patch.
Lincoln Sullivan
>And Umineko's looks any better
Yeah?
Charles Long
STEAM release right?
James Flores
The middle one was from PS2 right?
It looks so much better than the newest.
Nathaniel Martinez
>never happening
outside of being confirmed with a printed novella out right now acting as an introduction?
Jace Jones
All of them are great. It doesn't matter which one you start with
Isaiah Baker
Live action
Nicholas Roberts
The introduction in the novel is for Hotarubi, not WTC5
Gabriel Ortiz
Manga.
Jacob Jones
And is it confirmed that it won't be called wtc5? Because it is directly tied to higurashi and umineko
Jonathan Thompson
>tfw you're waifu turned into a massive slut
Why Jesus why.
Oh yeah, also the Higurashi event ended yesterday, we didn't get any anime announcements sadly.
Adam Nguyen
Hotarubi started a few months ago, and it has never been referred to as WTC5. I also think WTC5 would probably be a VN if it ever happened, and not a manga
Justin Evans
Wait, Hotarubi is a manga? I've been seriously out of the loop. I assumed it was going to be a VN.
Should I read it or should I wait for the inevitable VN adaptation like higanbana?
Colton Barnes
>Should I read it
I wish I could tell you, but unfortunately only chapter 0, which is kind of like a preview, is translated. I'm not sure if anyone are going to translate the rest or not
Xavier Sullivan
I like the MangaGamer translation better
Camden Ross
What does Sup Forums think of the Higurashi and Umineko manga adaptations?
Juan Martinez
Is Higurashi VN better than Umineko? Umineko was god awful except maybe ep7. Especially ep8 was full blown powerlevel shounenshit.
Josiah Thompson
Is this official art?
Ryder James
They're both great, but the VNs are still better
Aiden Allen
VN is the most boring shit ever
Anime is the most boring thing ever
Manga is boring
Liam Hernandez
It depends on who you ask. I personally like Higurashi better.
Caleb Lee
eh, maybe the steam version is closer with that (lol) thing
Jonathan Perez
The old translation is terrible. They even fucked up the grammar
>in a dark woods
The new one is a lot better
Sebastian Hughes
They are both MangaGamer's. The top one is from a more recent release which is both on their site and on steam.
Asher Clark
>lol
And people pay money for this? Why the fuck is this allowed? How can they fuck up a translation this bad?
Cooper Smith
>episode 3
Stop reminding me user
John Long
The Japanese version says (笑) which means (laugh). It's pretty accurate, and a lot more accurate than the old translation
Sebastian Torres
Yep, it's one of the dakimakura covers that are on sale
Parker Foster
What happened with the trianthology anyway? I remember it being announced last year and then hearing nothing about it ever since.
Thomas Bell

>企画・構想などから約4年、やっと形にして今年の夏コミにて発表できる！
If I understand this right, it will be released at Comiket in August. There's also a manga adaptation ongoing currently
Dominic Miller
oh shit, thank you user
Christopher Robinson
Do I have to read Higurashi before Umineko?
Adam King
No
Nathan Wood
The steam version seems to be more accurate.
I still feel more comfortable playing the old version though for some reason. It's probably just because I played it first.
Aaron Garcia
>Anime, Manga, or VN? Which is the best way to enjoy Higurashi?
USE SODA
Colton Morgan
No, but I would recommend it.
Jacob Bennett
No one cares about Umineko, stop polluting the thread with it
Xavier Mitchell
Learn Japanese and buy Sui for PS3 before it completely vanishes.
Sui has all the arcs including the bonus ones, FULL voice acting, and bonus stills.
Zachary Bailey
VN, with original boxing glove hand art.
Carson Gray
Boring, boring, it's all so boring!
Samuel Sanchez
does bern have boobs or is she really supposed to be flat chested
Luis Bell
If she's got them in the original art she's got them. They just got downgraded in other adaptations because.
