Introduce Yourself!

Wait, are you saying that Ougon is coming to steam? Man I haven’t seen that game in AGES.

Oh, sure, we should wait.

If you’re scared, that is.

I am really glad to see that the translation is not dead, since Umineko is so unknown here in Brazil, the translation would certainly help and the novel would be more accessible to people that don’t speak english/japanese. But I don’t think I would be a good translator. First of all, I have little time to spend translating such a rich text and I don’t really trust my writing skills. I would be more comfortable if I were a beta reader or something like that.I am sorry man :sweat:

Quick question, are you the same Funchal from the legendary Infinity Series Discussion thread that’s been going on over many iterations for years now on gamefaqs?

@CherryRocker
Well, that could work too! I’ll contact you once I finish translating episode 1.

@Bancho
That’s me, yeah! You there as well?

You wouldn’t recognize me, but yeah, I posted a few times. That thing has been going for so long, man.

Out of curiosity, what’s your gamefaqs username?

And yeah, that thread has been around for quite a while. I particularly think that’s a pretty cool thing lol. I like discussing with people there.

Hello there Cherry, welcome to Rokkenjima! You seem quite passionate about Umineko and with your experience of reading Arthur Conan Doyle’s works and knowing how the riddles in a mystery work and everything, it must have been quite the experience for you, reading Umineko, and coming up with theories based on what you knew about the mystery genre. Thus, I do look forward to your posts and how analytical they must be, being such a mystery fan and all. And also, you’re into music? What are some of your favourite artists?

It take some time for me because it has been ages since I’ve last read Umineko (and actually, any other mystery novel lol) So, I will need to re-read the novel, or at least the key points. It’s funny because Ryukishi uses a lot of classic tricks in Umineko, especially when he needs to make guns and keys “disappear”. And yes, I am really into music (I wish I had the time to study its theory again)…hmm…I really listen to a lots of styles, from Metal to bossa nova lol, but recently I’ve been listening to a lot of Metallica (my favourite band ever), Pink Floyd, Sisters of Mercy, Rammstein, Queen (and the list goes on). Your turn :wink:, tell me some artists that you like, if you wish, of course.

Oh I don’t remember, I’ve had multiple over the years and I haven’t actually used it in a long time. I still have the thread bookmarked, though.

Wow, I remember when @Karifean asked me to come here, but it took me… 10 months? To finally join here. An irl friend of mine has started reading the Umineko manga (which I own the first three episodes of, in due time I’ll have all of them…) and because of that I felt a desire to jump back into just talking about this visual novel. So I’ve seen a number of familiar faces, but for those who don’t know, I’m Checklad, same name on reddit (and /r/visualnovels). With regards to the R07 expansion: on the 14th of April 2016, I started to read Umineko with live reactions and rambling from my part, joined by a number of people I knew from a different community and a few I picked up on the way, ultimately finishing the 6th of October 2016. I really enjoyed Umineko all-in-all, even if I can’t express it that well. Perhaps I’ll do the same style for Higurashi in due time as this way of reading is to me a motivator, as it really added to me experiencing Umineko and its despair. My commentary from the first 2 episodes and the first half of episode 3 are… a bit messy due to shifting from a channel to a seperate server, but we’ll see how that goes.

Oh right, about me… I’m Dutch, 21, occasionally an idiot. I feel that describes me best if you don’t know me yet!

Welcome to Rokkenjima @Checklad! I’m U4ea, Rokkenjima’s unofficial baka tour guide! There are various threads separated per episode where you can talk all about how magical Umineko is. Since you are a veteran, I recommend checking out the spoiler threads since those are places where you can talk freely about stuff that happens in later episodes! However, there are also spoiler free threads where you can see new readers reacting to the story for the first time. Of course the spoiler and spoiler free threads also exist for Higurashi, so you’re free to check those out too! There are also various threads for Higanbana, Rose Guns Days, Iwaihime, Hotarubi, and TRianThology! These lesser known works are unique in their own ways, so I recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!

There are a lot of other ways to involve yourself here too! For example, you can share what when they cry moments have made you cry, you can share your manga collection, share your VNDB list, talk about gaming, talk about your dream crossovers, talk about writing, talk about Touhou, there’s even a thread all about pizza! Of course, you may also prefer to know about 07th Expansion news, like Higurashi Kai, and WTC5.

I really hope you enjoy it here, Checklad. I’m certain you’re going to make a lot of new friends! And if your irl friend ends up really enjoying Umineko, please send them our direction! I look forward to the day the world knows about 07th Expansion! I want Beatrice’s magic to reach everyone, kyahahaha~ :cackle:
