How is it even possible to draw for 10+ years and not get good at it

You'd think after 4 or 5 years he'd would have said something like "okay, this isn't working. I need to try something else" and signed up for a drawing class

>>11864468
>How is it even possible to draw for 10+ years and not get good at it
Autism.

>>11864468
It's "style"

>>11864468
>okay, this isn't working.
That is where you are wrong. You assume the fan does not like his art which they do so he has no reason to think this.

His art is cute and endearing.

>>11864468
His art has improved quite a bit since Higurashi, and it's never been bad.

>>11864468
Yeah, I think he should get someone else to do proper art, like they did for the PS3 version of Umineko.

>>11864656
I'm glad Higanbana isn't popular enough to get one. The art is fine, as is.

>>11864662

Cool, a Higanbana thread!

I know it may seem like we've made unnecessary delays since the patch was originally supposed to be released a few months ago. However, the changes we made since then will allow for a much more enjoyable experience.

As of today, we have what will hopefully be our final builds. After a tiny bit more testing, we will be ready to release them.

Please expect to enjoy Higanbana - The Second Night within the next couple of weeks!

>>11864468
The art isn't absolutely terrible. Most people get used to it after a while. Ryukishi07 collaborated with professional artists for Rose Guns Days, so you may wish to check that out if you haven't already.

>>11864468
You'd think he'd get someone else to write as well, since he hasn't gotten any better at that either.

>>11866112
Thanks for the update.

>>11866123
In fact he's gotten worse.

>>11864468
Drawing is a talent that you have to be born with. Practice can yield a marginal improvement but I'm afraid it's simply not a matter of "git good". You've either got it or you don't.

>>11866402
Hey man don't be stupid you can improve unless you are retarded and can't grasp stuff like proper dimensions, look at that gay stuff people translate that has downright terrible art if you don't believe me. What was that boxing manga called again, what the fuck seriously.

What's the soundtrack like on episode 2 does anyone know? I found the first one pretty average aside from a few standouts.

>>11863375
So is this actually good?

>>11866483
Higanbana has an average VNDB rating of 7.34, which is considered good.

If you haven't tried it, we recently released a free trial version, which you might like to check out:

>>11866402
So wrong it hurts. Anyone who thinks like are just lazy to dedicate themselves to learning something so they make sorry excuses to justify their lack of volition. It's not easy for those without talent, that much is true, but it's definitely not impossible.

So... What's up with Marie's new clothes? I believe in Ryukishi, but it honestly looks like shit. I hope it's a joke chapter or something like that.

How does it compare to Higurashi in the mystery/horror departments? I know there is a lot of people who would say something like higurashi isn't scary at all, but it definitely had me scared quite a bit.

>>11868390
Higurashi was a masterpiece, you can't really compare the two. This is no mystery either, and the only remotely scary chapter was the second one. But I love Higanbana for what it is. It actually has less flaws than Higurashi or Umineko. It's no masterpiece, but it's great at what it does. I may be a little bit biased, though, as I love anything featuring elementary school kids, especially if the atmosphere/plot is serious rather than silly. There is one thing I hate about Higanbana, though. That annoying and repetitive sound of children playing on the playground. What the hell was Ryukishi thinking? I wish I had a less repetitive equivalent to replace it with.

As for Higurashi being scary, well... I don't like to talk about it because that topic tends to attract fans of the anime adaptation, but Higurashi is pretty damn scary even when you know what's actually happening. Even things like the second half of Watanagashi-hen, arguably the less violent episode in the series, makes me feel very uneasy. Especially Satoko and Rika's disappearance... The feels...

>>11868384
(Appropriate image attached.) There is a good reason for why Marie's new clothes are the way they are, and this is explained in the first chapter. She only wears these clothes in certain parts of the story — for most of the time, she wears the same outfit that she wore in The First Night.

>>11868390
Higanbana is not a mystery story. I know some people insist that the supernatural events that occur in the story are caused by humans, but those people are reading too much into it. Higanbana is actually fantasy.

As for horror, it certainly has scary/creepy vibes. It's hard for me to say how it compares to Higurashi, since the two stories evoke slightly different styles of horror, but Higanbana certainly has its fair share of grisly moments.

>MFW when I already played Higanbana Second Night in English because I was a beta tester for the patch

>>11866483
>So is this actually good?
Oh yes.

>>11868384

<bullying mode> Remember, Marie is a stupid, unpopular, picked on kid. If she were to design her own costume, of course it'd be an eyesore. (/bullying mode>

>>11864468
I can't imagine an 07th Expansion VN without Ryukishi's art. Rose Guns Days was quite disappointing to me in this respect. And it breaks my heart a bit whenever I see screenshots from the PS3 patched Umineko.

I like Takeshi Nonomiya because he reminds me of Yasu.

They were both butthurt kids with a massive power. Yasu had the bomb, the guns and ten tons of gold. Nonomiya had all the bullies on his side before he realized it. He only wanted to take revenge on that girl by himself, but the other kids thought it was fun and shit got out of hand.

Something similar happened to me when I was around his age. There was no suicide, but I lost the best friend I've ever had. I regret it to this day. The worst part is that I had a crush on his tomboy loli sister, and she hates me now.

>>11868884
Why does every character think "she must be an upperclassman" when they see Higanbana? Marie and Nonomiya are supposed to be 11. Hell, part of the reason Kanamori decided to kill Marie was because she would become a middle schooler next year and he wouldn't be able to control her life anymore. Why did they think Higanbana was an "upperclassman" when they are in the highest possible grade? I don't get it.

>>11869021
Was she cute?

Anyone remember that theory about how MARIA created the world of Higanbana? The name of the protagonist, the setting, all the creepy youkai stuff, Sakunoshin, bullying, magic being real... It really makes sense. She became a creator witch like Auaurora.

What is she talking about?

>>11864468
His drawings look weird and ridiculous if you really think about it. But they are absolutely perfect when you are reading the novels.

>>11869043
I'm not sure about Nonomiya, but I believe Marie is supposed to be in the third grade? It was probably more that Marie wouldn't be in Kanamori's class the following year than her leaving the school entirely.

How would you rate R07's settings, /jp/?

Umineko is probably my favorite. A closed off island is always cool, but it's even better when you shut it up inside a cat box and look at it from the future. It creates a strange atmosphere I don't know how to describe.

In terms of atmosphere, though, Higanbana is the absolute winner. It may be because the mood never really changes, but I find its atmosphere incredibly immersive for some reason.

It reminds me of when I was a kid. Elementary school is often portrayed as a happy, fun place in Japanese media. But it wasn't really like that. Even if you were never bullied, you still felt tired and depressed sometimes. I have hazy memories of that time, and I assume most people do too. The almost psychedelic atmosphere of the novel, along with the weird art and blurred backgrounds, recreates that feeling of haziness perfectly.

Hinamizawa is a VERY charming village, objectively better than anything in Umineko or Higanbana. But the creepy, suffocating vibe it gives off depends on the murders and the perspective of whatever character the story is focusing on, so it doesn't really have anything to do with the village itself. The cicadas are still a great touch, though.

I love silent places where time seems frozen, they make me feel safe. Hinamizawa at the end of Tatarigoroshi-hen is a great example of this. Dead bugs everywhere, an awful smell of rotten eggs, and a complete silence. You can wander around the village for as long as you want, nobody will disturb you.

The last part of EP4 gives off this feeling too. Battler is the only survivor and is free to do whatever he wants on the island for an entire day.

>>11868990
Who are you quoting?

>>11869129
Third graders are like 8, aren't they? Marie definitely looks older and taller. She may be an airhead, but her level of maturity is that of a 10 year old at the very least.

All the characters seem to be in the 10-11 range. Also, the fifth chapter implied that Hikaru is considerably more mature than the really young kids (1st and 2nd graders I guess). There wouldn't be much of a difference if he was 8 or even 9, and the teacher wouldn't even try to have a talk with him if he was that young. And finally, the type of bullying we are shown is pretty twisted and psychological. Younger kids wouldn't even realize they can humiliate someone in such ways.

But I guess it's up to interpretation.

>>11869207
She looks very small in the manga, that's probably why she is that young in your mind.

But I don't think the artist knew what the hell he was doing. It was terrible in every possible way and the art was just plain bad.

Goddammit /jp/. You guys always find a reason to talk about kids.

>>11869207
It apparently says that Marie is in the third grade in the manga — or at least it does in a scanlation. I don't have a copy of the manga where I'm currently living to verify if the translation is accurate. Whether or not details in the manga are considered canon is open to debate, though.

Also, all the characters aren't necessarily in the same grade. It could be that Hikaru is in a higher grade than Marie.

Sneak peek from RK's new work.

>>11869292
what the-...

>>11864468
I imagine that it's like a signature now. Probably gets harder and harder to continue drawing like that over and over. That might be an entirely different skill set on it's own, one that some might be impressed with.

>>11869292
Potatoes: When They Cry

>>11869131
I loved Hinamizawa's atmosphere, it's feels traditional and nostalgic, especially the shrine. Rokkenjima was beautiful too, but it felt more distant, like something from a fairy tale.

Higanaban is pretty bad. Overall

Higurashi > Rose Gun Days > Higanbana > Umineko

>>11869466
You have really bad taste, anon.

>>11864468
idk ask zun

>>11869466
IMHO

Umineko > Higurashi > Higanbana > Rose Guns Days

So, it seems we're on rather opposite ends of opinion.

>>11870145
>Umineko > Higurashi
>Umineko better than anything
You cannot be fucking serious.

>>11870149
The concept of Umineko is better. The execution, while great, can't surpass Higurashi. It was just too good.

The actual writing is way better in Umineko, though.

>>11870145
Umineko = Higurashi > Higanbana > Rose Guns Days.

Umineko and Higurashi are both masterpieces, but not with the same themes, or in the same level. Higanbana is a fairly good VN, better than 90% of the production (and 100% of Nasu's VN). RGD is good, not great.

>>11868886
>I love anything featuring elementary school kids
Why?

Is anyone else disappointed that there was no story fully dedicated to Kyou, the mirror spirit? All he got to be was a set piece for the "wacky hijinks" chapter.

His back story in the TIPS at the end sounds really interesting, though. I almost wonder if Ryu originally planned a story for him, but couldn't fit it in.

>>11873200
I've finished all 7 chapters and have never seen him.

>>11873994
There are two Higanbana visual novels — The First Night and The Second Night. Since Kyou only appears in The Second Night, have you read that? If not, our translation patch for The Second Night will be released very soon, so you may wish to check it out.

>very soon
>couple of weeks

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!

>>11874261
Thanks.

>>11869114
Period stuff.

>>11874956
No! It's BRA stuff. She is like 10, it makes far more sense!

"Soon" has arrived! The Second Night patch is now available.

Also, you should be able to purchase digital downloads of the original Japanese versions from MangaGamer any minute now.

>>11877939
Super.

I just finished Aya's story, and it actually managed to get to me. Felt extremely bad, man. I also fully expected for something nasty to trip her up at the very end. Wouldn't have surprised me since it's happened before! But given where her story was going I guess anything other than her victory would have been a major buzz killer.

>>11877939
Yes! Thank you!

>>11879308
Have you gotten to Michiru's chapter? That thing made me cry buckets.

Even days after, just hearing the song from it (Dendritic Agate) would make me whimper like a baby.

Chapter one was disappointingly short.
Seems weird that it had the same OP as the first night, too. I hope the other chapters are longer. I'll finish it all tonight otherwise.

>>11880504
Chapter 1 (you're talking about Second Night, right?) is just an intro, really.

I have always wondered since Umineko.
Is there a way to completely hide the mouse?

I put it down into the bottom right corner. only like 3 pixels of it are showing, but it still bothers me when I notice it.

Is Higanbana even decent? I remember people expressing disappointment when it first came out.

>>11880918
It's definitely very far from bad.

>>11879308
I just finished the chapter, expected the same thing. I've only read up to this chapter, so far. I think it's my favorite.

>>11864468
If you're self-taught instead of learning the proper way to do it, you can end up like Zun and Ryukishi. Plus they probably draw someone like once a month, unlike improving artists who are drawing for hours a day.

>>11880918
I liked it a lot. Good atmosphere and music as is R07's specialty. And I actually do like what he did with the shading on the art in this one.

>>11880955
Honestly, and you dorks will probably hate me for this, I think it'd be better with very minimal character art. Something similar to older Chunsoft games. I personally don't think the art as it is detracts from anything, but it's all some people look at and it's very clearly not the focus of the games. They're sound novels, not visual novels.

>>11880766
Try curing your autism. Why'd you have to get those, vaccinations?

>>11880971
Do you think any child actually wants vaccinations?

>>11881004
When I was child I got addicted to vaccinations. Flu, tetanus, heroin, I did it all, man...

Is this any good if I just want to fap? Always had a major bully fetish.

>>11881030
Sure.

>>11880964
Oh, absolutely anon. I love all of the music that R07 composes.

>>11881052
Thanks for being kind to me Kyoukoposter

>>11880766
NScripter has the mousemode command which can hide the mouse, so I guess it's technically possible if you're up for modifying the game a bit.

>>11877939
Thank you for translating this. I really enjoyed it.

I wish there was more though. There hasn't been any news about a third night happening has there?

When is higurashi coming for Steam? I want to give them my money already.

It was much shorter than I expected but every bit as enjoyable as the first one, if not more. I liked the further developments with the old cast like Michiru and Yukari (throwing an unprecedented variable in the form of bandage-kun worked wonders; not everything is as obnoxiously black and white when bullying is concerned so I liked that they further built that up), and the new cast members such as Aya and the two sad shotas were great too (Renoir's story made my skin crawl and Higanbana's with the pianist made me bawww hard). I enjoyed every single chapter this second night whereas I think there were two from the first night I didn't like (anything related to the photographer and his waifu).

Like another anon mentioned I'd love to see more. I know everyone sort of hates him now but I definitely think Higanbana is one of his strongest works. He used to work as a social worker, didn't he?

Spoilers didn't work last time. Strange.

>>11882417
Spoilers mustn't be working.

Anyway, thanks for translating Yirba. Good stuff all in all.

>>11882232
Sorry, there are no plans for a Third Night. Though who knows, Higurashi is getting a new instalment, so perhaps Higanbana will too in the distant future.

>>11882246
No release date has been decided for the Steam release of Higurashi. They're still translating Onikakushi-hen (the first chapter), though they're considering releasing the game in episodic fashion, chapter-by-chapter.

>>11882417
Yes, I believe Ryukishi07 has said that he used to be a social worker, with the things he has witnessed inspiring his stories.

>>11889576
does she have sex with them? does she like boys or something?

>>11889576
does she survive in the end , i like milfs and shota.

>>11866408
ippo has great art, what the fuck are you talking about?

Does this series actually end though? like does it have a proper ending too it all? is it all explained/answered for?

>>11889576
I thought she was going to be a nice character. I actually sympathized with her until she started doing creepy shit. Bitch's fucked up.

I understand how cute kids can be when they cry (pun not intended). I also understand how someone with an humiliation fetish would find that sexually arousing. But you'd have to be an extremely fucked up bitch to actually lose control over your actions and do something like that in real life. Hell, simply by feeling the need to "control yourself", even if succeed in doing so, means that you have problems of self-control completely unrelated to pedosexuality, which is a completely natural attraction that can make you a really good person.

I'm not fond of male kids, but I almost cried at the end.

>>11889990
What I want to say is that anyone calling this woman a "pedophile" or any of its equivalents is a retard and I hope they die. They are the same people trying to make my life Hell.

She makes it clear that she doesn't fall in love with cute kids, only with their bodies. She doesn't even feel bad for what happened to that one. It's the EXACT opposite of what real pedophilia is all about.

>>11889576
I guess she really likes crayons.

>>11889576

>>11889632
In a certain sense, yes, she does.

>>11889647
Higanbana isn't like Higurash/Umineko. It's not a mystery...it's a horror setting, where the supernatural simply exists without any need to question it.

There isn't a single narrative arc, either. It's a series of separate stories connected by a shared setting and some shared characters.

I will say, though, that the final chapter of Second Night does give a good sense of closure and really feels like a final chapter (I'd love it if he made more, though).

>>11890014
I'm fairly sure pedophilia just means "having a tendency towards children" and not some sort of life philosophy involving true love.

>>11890495
Are you one? You can't really be that sure of that. At least not more than a pedo is.

The meaning of the word doesn't really matter. It's possible that most people that love children in a romantic sense feel like I do.

But I wasn't even talking about that. I was just complaining about how normies will read this VN and think "wow, she's a total pedo because she wants to fuck kids. And she's even more of a pedo because she is an asshole". That's why I wanted to clarify what it means to be a pedophile and how it's not about sex, regardless of its official diagnosis based on laughably flawed researches.

>>11890014
You're crazy and need psychiatric help.

>>11890644
And you deserve to die.

>>11890643
She's a sadist pedophile. You probably are a masochist pedophile judging by your persecution complex.

>>11890654
If she wasn't a crazy sadist, she wouldn't be a bad person at all. In fact, she would be a much better person than you are. Being a pedophile doesn't have anything to do with being a pervert, a sadist, someone who struggles control him/herself, or someone that doesn't absolutely love kids. That's what I'm trying to say.

I don't have a persecution complex, it should be obvious how unfair and willfully ignorant most people are about this subject. I guess I'm not a "pedophile" because apparently one is not required to love kids to be one, even though that's exactly what causes the physical attraction in the first place. So what the hell am I supposed to call myself now that the old term has been twisted beyond recognition?

>>11890674
You could not throw a fit about it. I also have a weakness towards little girls but you don't hear me bellyaching.
>>11890674
>the old term has been twisted beyond recognition?
The original meaning? You mean: https://archive.org/stream/psychopathiasexu00krafuoft/psychopathiasexu00krafuoft_djvu.txt

That?

>>11889576
>>11889990
What happened exactly? What did she do?

>>11890774
>What happened exactly? What did she do?
She was obsessed with little boys and liked to draw them naked. She also abused them in physical ways, like pressing burning cigarettes to their flesh, and recorded those abuses in her nude drawings. She gained sexual pleasure from defiling their innocence. I can't recall if she did normal sexual acts with them.

>>11891127
I see. That doesn't seem THAT bad. I was asking because I love little boys too.

>>11889576
<--- Hide your children, because It's a-rapin' time.

I found this to be much more interesting that the 1st night.

>>11892713
The only episodes from the 1st night that I didn't absolutely love were the fifth (very solid, but every character involved is an asshole) and the fourth (just passable). Everything else was amazing.

The second part had some great stuff (Aya <3), but the first and especially the third were way too cartoony/pointless for my taste. I liked them, but they could have been replaced with something more serious. The fourth was pretty good, but it made me feel like Hikaru's chapter. Renoir was very interesting and I liked that. I felt really bad for the murdered kid. The fifth was too short (this girl always gets short chapters), but I loved it. The plot twist combo was great but it left a bad taste in my mouth because it was just too sad. I don't really know what to think about the sixth. The youkai was interesting, but her powers were far from subtle. It was WAY too magical for my tastes. And the new kid didn't grow on me at all, but I'm glad we got to see Yukari-chan again. I'm about to read the last one, which will probably be very good. I doubt it can beat the second one, though.

If I had to choose a loli gf, it would be between Aya and Midori. They were really cute.

>>11892905
Oh, and the music was really fucking good once again. It was considerably happier and I liked that. I can't get this one out of my head:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ZcrqoVw60

>>11868884

Where did you get that full body sprite?

>>11893022
I have all the sprites from the first game, but I don't know where to find the new ones, or the backgrounds.

>>11864468
I love his art, but his inability to draw preteen girls pisses me off. Satoko and almost every girl in Higanbana have literal breasts. Is it really that hard to draw little chest buds? Or just nothing at all? It's ridiculous! Even Maria, a fucking 9 year old, is nowhere near flat.

The worst part is trying to find good Higanbana fanart. There is barely any, it's all about that dumb twat Midori and the breasts are bigger than those of Anime!Natsuhi. Fuck.

>>11892917
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ZcrqoVw60

That shit's my jam.

>>11893109
Are you looking on Pixiv, or just Danbooru? Because I've found lots of good stuff on Pixiv.

>>11893109
The way the characters look in the sprites is hardly canon. You can imagine them however you wish. But yeah, it's pretty annoying to look at. It's almost like there is a food-hormones youkai in the school. A girl returns to school after the summer break and she's got huge knockers. Rumor has it that it's the work of a fearful school youkai!

>>11893156
Why even bother having sprites then? He could have easily just had text and music.

>>11893162
He is great at drawing facial expressions and designing clothes, that's why. But the weird anatomy, the huge breasts, the hands... It's better if I ignore that.

>>11893109
>dumb twat
Why does everyone call her that? I don't get it.

>>11893156

>>11893202

>>11893206
She ate too much candy.

>>11893206

>>11893188
Warosu is your friend.

Just finished the second night. It was fantastic! it somehow managed to be better than the first.
Third Night when?

How many other people love Michiru? She might be my favorite character from Higanbana. She's so cute, and I identify with her so much...I just want to see her happy!

I hate how much she's paired with Hikaru Nihei in fanart, though. That guy's a dick.

is this storywise better then umineko? because umineko was kinda very bad, only the music was good

>>11900088
I think Umineko's story is brilliant, so I might not be fully qualified to answer this.

But Higanbana does lack the meta-fictional parts that caused some people to dislike (or not get) Umineko.

Such a beautiful kid.

>>11900223
Do you think she already lost all of her baby teeth?

>>11900306
No way, she's too young.

Why do these youkai only seem to target 5th and 6th graders? Is it because 1st graders and the like don't know jack shit about anything and can't really be blamed for their actions?

>>11900377
It's because a first grader with breasts would be horrifying and he can't draw flat chests.

>>11900377
Well, yes. 1st graders are too pure to be youkai's targets, they aren't cruel enough for extreme bullying and usually don't think about suicide.

>>11900389
First graders are the best.

A ten year old with breasts is just as horrifying, though. I don't know why he keeps doing that. It's strange because Rika was completely flat.

Then again, she used the same sprite for the entire game. If R07's sprites are 100% canon, then Himatsubushi Rika, who is 5, looks exactly the same as her preteen version. And Mion looked 17 when she was 12. It's a mess.

Purity is delicious, but too much of it can make you look retarded.

Second graders are the best for cuddling, fourth graders are the best for horsing around and undeveloped sixth graders are the best for lewd stuff.

>>11900429
Ten is around the age girls hit puberty so that is not that weird.

>>11900442
It used to be 12...

>>11900442
If this is true, my favorite type of loli is officially extinct. The world will never see a prepubescent girl with the intelligence and mindset of a 10 year old anymore.

>>11900439
That just makes when they make an insightful witty comment all the better.

>>11900442
Where are you from? European girls become preteens at 10 and stay like that for two years. Their cute buds don't really grow much until they turn 12.

But that's not always the case. My cousin is almost 11 and still flat. I've never seen her nipples, though.

>>11900464
America.

Puberty is truly the worst. The years before it are the best, though. They act like teenagers now because Disney turns them into sluts, but preteen girls used to be pure and nice. They were simply a more intelligent version of the younger lolis, without losing their curiosity and wonder.

If society changes for the better, so will lolis. Sadly, it just keeps getting worse. I don't even want to mention the food hormones.

>>11900470
Would you get out of that hellhole if you could? Just breathing the same air as those greedy, brainwashed, insane and evil normies must be unbearable. It's the same everywhere, but America seems to be particularly bad.

How the HELL did this turn into a loli thread?

What's so good about girls when you've got boys? Femininity is a social construct.

>>11900512
I have too much emotional attachment because I grew up here and I love the historic downtown areas. Besides, we have the most famous child actress in the world even though she recently passed away.

>>11900377
>Why do these youkai only seem to target 5th and 6th graders?

Partly the other explanations here, but also that's just the grades the school has.

>>11900561
Nope, look at this.

>>11900561
Do schools like that even exist? My elementary school had a separate playground for 1st and 2nd graders, but we shared the same school.

>>11900592
Well, at least the middle school I went to only had 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.

This is why I only browse /jp/ through warosu. The most interesting posts are always deleted.

>>11900607
6th grade is middle school? Is that how it is in America? No wonder western 11 year olds are sluts.

>>11900223
I really want to fuck Ahegao-chan.

Is there any fanart of Nozomi?

Is the vice principal both a human and a youkai? I thought you needed to be dead before becoming a youkai.

>>11893109
I feel you man. Look at this one...

Looks like Renoir trapped Ryukishi inside the Spanish "Ecce Homo".

I never realized she was a trap.

>>11900635
If the girl in the red is blushing because she just peed or pooped in the pool, that would be pretty arousing.

>>11900712
She does not poop! Ever!

But she sweats a lot.

>>11900631
He seems to be a youkai employed as the vice principal.

I wish I could become an elementary schooler without losing my current memories. Imagine if you could become a six year old again before entering middle school and experience six more years of elementary school with new classmates and new cute little girls. And do it over and over again.

If only...

>>11900784
Only if I got to go back in time too. I don't want to grow up with today's shitty kids.

>>11900784
I hated elementary school.

Along with middle school, high school and uni.

>>11900793
Atleast you didnt spend elementary school being besieged for 4 years by artillery.

>>11892905
Are you seriously comparing a delusional, jealous, spoiled brat who does little to no exercise with a cute, sweaty and athletic little girl that is smart enough to question the meaning of life?

>>11900793
I got bullied hard in elementary school, but that incredibly long hell was nothing compared to the bullying in middle school. That was something else.

I've developed a bullying fetish. I know what you are all thinking now, but it's not like that. Don't feed me any Freud bullshit about how I want to see others suffer like I did, it's just that I there is something really erotic about bullying. It's like rape, but in public and for long periods of time. I've had a huge humiliation fetish since I was 5, too.

>>11900784
That would be better than any superpower. Flying like Superman must be incredible, but this beats it any day.

>>11900801
This "dumb twat" is a beautiful princess and has more fans than your smelly loli gf will ever have.

>>11900830
She is sexy too and changes her pure white underwear every two days.

>>11900629
Only this picture.

>>11900629
Only this picture.

>>11900834
It looks like another doll jizzed all over her crotch and inside of her skirt. What a slut!

>>11900814
Bullying is often done out of lust. Why else would anyone bully Midori-chan?

What are these fluffy dolls called?

Double Midori.

Triple Midori!

Me on the left.

>>11900861
felt dolls?

>>11900921
I felt your mom

So cute together.

Thank you so much! I tried digging around for the full body sprites but somehow missed these. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Not worth the wait.

>>11907893
Yes it was.

>>11908789
Nope.

>>11908804
Yep.
Keep being wrong though.

>>11896166
Honestly, the humour kind of ruined it for me. The First Night is very dark, with close to no breather, and that made it a very powerful read. In the Second Night, there is three chapters acting as breather, two of them making fun of the whole series.

Ryu07 generally succeed in mixing serious and humorous elements, like what he did with Higurashi/Umineko, but here he lost it. For example, when the entire series is focused on the dark tales of a school with a ruthless and morally ambiguous main character, you don't write a story where she appears goofy and weak. It kind of defeat the whole point.

The same thing, all the jokes at the expense of Midori almost killed that character for me. Why would you feel the need to do that, Ryukishi? Seriously? Making a butt joke of one of the most tragic character of the First Night?

There was some very good chapters in the Second Night, easily rated among the best chapters of the First Night, but it doesn't excuse the poor humour.

>>11909997
>Midori
>one of the most tragic character of the First Night?
I think I missed something.

>>11910249
Obviously. Did you even read Higanbana? I'm sure you have an excuse for missing the point so very much, something like a mental illness or recent drug use.

>>11910266
It's been quite some time since I read the first Night, but I just remember that she was a spoiled rich girl who only got popular because of a demon eating her soul and giving her cramps.

>>11910276
She never was popular. It was all an illusion created by the youkai eating her soul: the cramps and the bruises she gets comes from when the illusion isn't perfect, and the blows she receives from her bullies aren't filtered enough. Nothing is real, but truth is, this illusion is the only thing worth of anything she has left.

That's tragic, anon. 8.8 on the tragic-o-meter.

>>11910311
After just re-reading the chapter I have no idea how I missed that.

How can I replace the music from night 2 with the umineko music in the troll upload of night 1? I got used to before and now the change is nothing me. It's worse than the original music patch for higurashi.

>>11911091
drag and drop from the BGM folders

>>11911091
You should get used to the actual music, really.
