Hello all,
Finally got round to making an account on this impressive site 
First got into 07th Expansion years ago, starting with Higurashi of course (anime). After playing the visual novel I was pleasantly surprised by how much it expanded on the animeās universe, but only played up to Meakashi-hen on iOS. Intending on playing through the whole series when the rest are released on Steam.
Looking forward to what this site has to offer!

Welcome to Rokkenjima!
I hope youāll share your thoughts and theories with us! We have threads for each arc where you can post ideas and such. Maybe when we have future tea parties/podcasts for Higurashi, youāll think about applying for them? New voices are always appreciated, no matter how they are heard.
Of course, we also have a discord if you want to more casually talk to others on here. Youāll have to attain Witch ranking on here first, but thats not difficult to do. We also have gameboards on here if you want to participate or speculate!
I hope you enjoy your stay~

Hi! Iāve been lurking for a bit and decided to introduce myself! I live in America. Iāve watched the Higurashi and Umineko anime (Higurashi first), and have read the first three visual novels of both. Iām currently reading Umineko in particular right now and am really into it. I might go back and read Higurashi some more some day though. I first got into the series in 2009 and 2010, but only got back to Umineko with the English release. I read the first couple Umineko visual novels on online playthroughs, but when they were removed I just kind of stopped. I was only 16 at the time and I couldnāt see my parents letting me get Umineko when it didnāt have a true English release. Since Higurashi got an English release on ios around the same time though, I got into that. I got back into Umineko with the official English release and really love it.
I found out about Rokkenjima from when I read somewhere that there was a spoiler free Umineko podcast. I kept that in the back of my mind, and wanted to see if I could find it just by looking up āUmineko spoiler-free.ā And that led me here. Since Iāve been so into Umineko lately, I really wanted to read more about it, but have been terrified to look up stuff about it. A mystery series seems like the worst thing to get spoiled, so Iām really grateful to have found a place I can go without worrying about spoilers. I need to get out all my excited energy, so this will be perfect. I havenāt been into forums for a long time, so I might not post too much. But Iāll definitely browse the forums a lot and might at least give some thoughts on Umineko after I finish each chapter.
I like video games, anime, animation in general, and I enjoy to write a lot.
Edit: Oh frick, the siteās closure was announced after as I make my first posts basically. As long as the forum archives are still available, Iāll still be happy to enjoy the thoughts after that. And Iāll still look forward to having an enjoyable time in the last bit of time that the site is open!

Welcome to Rokkenjima!
Unfortunately this site is closing soon, but you are more than welcome to join us until then!
As a fan of Higurashi and Umineko, maybe youāll talk about them in the threads we have for each arc? Theres always lots to talk about and lots to read if youāre ever bored. And, might I recommend you try reading Higanbana No Saku Yoru Ni once youāve finished Chiru? People who like Higurashi and Umineko tend to like it as well.
I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Hey Iām uni. Even the siteās going to close soon. I will look forward to meeting new people. englishās not my first language. I first got into the Umineko in 2015. It took a bit of will power to read Umineko for me. But itās enjoyable ride so far. I really want to read and discuss a lot of about Umineko.

Hello! I just found the forum by accident, but it was a happy one if you donāt count in the fact that the forum is closing. Anyway. I was introduced to Umineko in 2013. It was a translated project after which I later found the anime, and fell even deeper into the rabbit hole that is Umineko and 07th Expansion. I know it can be said that the anime is bad, but it was something that I really enjoyed watching -seeing Beato move and gaggle around.

I hope youāll enjoy yourself on here and do all you wish to. We have discussions for a ton of things, donāt be afraid to add to them if you want! Weāve also got a discord server if thats your kind of thing, but you first need Witch ranking (which isnt difficult to get).
I hope you enjoy the month left here!

The new server details are here, or if you get the witch rank in time (which is still completely possible), hit the discord icon on the top right of the website to join the original server.

Where in the world do you live?
1- I am not comfortable to tell.
2- Umineko/chiru. I watched Higurashi too [first season only]
3- Someone once said that there is some hidden hints in uminekoās ost, unfortunately i do not feel capable of finding such hints on my own.
4- Tabletop RPG.
I am well aware that these forums will end soon, yet i feel that it would be impossible to reach the truth of Umineko on my own. I came here searching for whatever help i could find.

Welcome to Rokkenjima!
If you wish to find some of the truth, I recommend looking through the spoiler threads since youāve finished Chiru. I wish you luck in finding what you seek. Keep love in your heart so you may see the truth.
I hope you enjoy your search!
