Sorters

07th Discussion
#1

So, for those unfamiliar with the concept, sorters are something people make on tumblr for the purpose of sorting various things into list by order of preference (eg. characters). I recently made two for Higurashi, so I thought I’d share them here in case anybody wants to do them and share their results!

Main 8 Arcs Sorter
Kai BGM Sorter (warning, this is incredibly long! Hence why I only included the Kai BGMs)

Also spoiler alert first for these next ones, they’re character sorters (by other people) with all characters present in the series so don’t do them unless you’ve finished each one respectively. The Higurashi one includes characters from the non-main arcs, too (eg. console-exclusive, manga-exclusive etc.). Higurashi, Umineko.

A heads up, these will only work on desktop! Have fun!

These are some fun lists to make. I completed mine, but how do we post them here @rika?

You can screenshot and post those or copy and paste them into a Google doc and share it!

Ah, I see. I’ll do the former then. :slight_smile:

Here are mine, then. I didn’t do the BGM one, since I’m not too familiar with the songs. And there’s just a top five for both Umineko and Higurashi, since otherwise it would be terribly long and well, the Umineko one is long enough, being in three shots, sorry, I don’t know anything about editing photos or joining them together, so bear with me :confounded: :

Edit: Never mind, I’m having some trouble with the upload, thus I’ll just write the top fives down.

Higurashi:

Shion Sonozaki
Frederica Bernkastel
Rika Furude
Mion Sonozaki
Keiichi Maebara

Umineko:

Featherine Augustus Aurora
Bernkastel
Beatrice
Lion Ushiromiya
Battler Ushiromiya

6. Beatrice

That was a really huge waste of time in order to tell me who I already know as being my favourite characters without having to do a test… lol…
I’m angry, but mostly at myself.
At least it gives us a purpose to brag about who we like/dislike and fight to the death over it.

  1. Ushiromiya Battler
  2. Furudo Erika
  3. Beatrice (aglomeration like all the cool kids do)
  4. Lambda Delta
  5. Dlanor A. Knox
  6. Ushiromiya Ange
  7. Ronove
  8. Chiester 410 (don’t ask, I have a thing for my favourite bunny)
  9. Bernkastel
  10. Ushiromiya Kinzo
