Ok, I’m back. Let’s do like our old friend Jack the Ripper and split these into parts:
1- Umineko Hou
I’m assuming it is short story much like Higurashi’s Hou, that will either go with expanding the Kakera lore (I’m particularly interest in some more Lambda background), progress the Rokkenjima Prime plot somehow and show Ange and the other living characters’ life post-Epilogue (which is kinda just okay and I would feel like it would be a waste since the ending was just perfect and there’s no need for much else of it… Ikuko marrying Tohya would be a cool surprise though), and, for last but not least (at all), my favorite pick would be some more of the Adults past, be Kinzo’s, Genji’s, Hideyoshi’s, Nanjo’s or every single one of them really.
I would love to see Rudolph’s and Kyrie’s shady business, as much as I would love to see how Hideyoshi and Eva got together, Kinzo’s past with Genji (his actual waifu for life cofcof), and finally, I would love to see more information about Maria’s dad, which I always assumed to be the best link we could ever get to Higurashi (other than Meta Battler talking about it being a book in Rokkenjima Prime during EP1 or EP2 & Lambda implying she “blessed” both Takano and Yasu in Tsubasa or Hane, if I recall correctly).
I always assumed it had something to do with Rena’s dad moving to Hinamisawa (my headcanon would that HE is the disappeared person who left Rosa). That would be nice to have confirmed or denied too haha
Besides that, I would also try not to completely rule out Land and/or Trinity of the Golden Witch either (as they did have informations from EP5 as well in there from what I could gather… at least Land did, and Trinity comes after, so…).
2- Haworthia:
Didn’t read nor listened to any of the lyrics. I’m occupied quite a bit translating a bunch of other stuff and studying to death, but I could give you all a hand later with that, maybe (if I do I’ll report it to that thread about it).
3- WTC5
My expectations are the same as ever for now. The thing I’m the most curious about for now is just how long is it going to be (Every single Umineko EP have at least 16 hours worth of heavy-reading (and the biggest get this number to 30+ hours, which would be EP4). Quite escalated from what we initialy got from Higurashi except the final 2 Kai arcs. I wonder if it is going to be even longer than Umineko already is (which is probably the biggest VN ever, text-wise).
