Ok, so why the FUCK is this getting a reboot when Umineko hasn't been touched at all? We really need a new reboot or atleast animate Chiru. This shit makes me angry.

because it's older ?

the newest higurashi we got was alot younger than umineko's adaptation

Because Japanese people (especially ones who read VNs) aren't familiar with the western murder mystery genre that Umineko explores. Western readers were able to think "oh, so this is basically Agatha Cristie+Twin Peaks", but Japanese readers gave up immediately and spouted dumb shit like "uh... battler is the culprit?".

Ryukishi fucking up the second half and pandering to braindead shippers while insulting the readers who did appreciate the mystery burned all his bridges, too. And that's not even getting into how DEEN didn't even bother to take adapting the anime seriously, shoehorning Higurashi references, yandere faces and fanservice all over the place.

i don't even think 50 episodes would be enough to do umineko.

>Japanese people (especially ones who read VNs) aren't familiar with the western murder mystery genre that Umineko explores
Hahaha, what the FUCK are you talking about, Japs have tons of this stuff.

Yeah, but people who read VNs in Japan are generally uncultured as fuck.

Umineko is R07's problem series. You have to take leaps and bounds of lunatic logic to twist Umineko into anything more than a loveless opera, but the music tries so damn hard to suggest it's something good. I suppose music, like everything else, is just another illusion.

Mystery is far more popular in Japan than in the West mate, people were able to pinpoint Kanon as the culprit from the first episode alone.

>haha.... i'll just dissapear in the closet
nice mystery faggots

>dude PARASITES LMAO
nice mystery faggots

Because Umineko is a much bigger bitch to animate with how much it likes to misdirect the reader with a bunch of weird bullshit. Higurashi is much simpler in comparison.

Since no one did I'm going to give you the actual answer. Higurashi anime did really good, Umineko anime flopped. It's that simple. Higurashi is just more popular for the average jap. A Higurashi reboot is much more guaranteed to make money than something that already did bad.
Umineko is also way harder to adapt and its premise is much less instantly captivating than Higurashi's, but that's just extra stuff. The main reason is one will give you money and the other probably not.

I actually believe if Umineko Gold was an actual thing, we would've had an actual anime by now.

>a cour
not like the higurashi adaptation will be good. you'll remember why you don't actually want a new adaptation.

have they confirmed they have no plans to continue after one season?

I dunno why but these reboots are getting annoying.

While I can understand not liking Umineko's solution to the mystery I kind of think people who have the biggest problems with it didn't really get a lot stuff before so it came out as way worse than it actually is. And I don't think R07 is 100% to blame for this.
Kanon and Shannon can do so many things like dying and then resurrecting or whatnot because they are literally fictional characters, even inside the bottle messages/forgeries/Sayo's life. While humans have to actually die in-story to be considered dead, and if you say Eva is dead then she has to be dead, Shannon and Kanon are just characters Yasu plays as. They are the same kind of entity as the stakes or the demons. Might sound contrived at first glance, but this is actually not very different than talking about fictional character's lives in real life. I can say talking about Umineko, "yeah, Kinzo died in 1983", and I would be saying the truth. But Kinzo doesn't actually exist. Still, my sentence isn't false for just that reason - I am referring to the fictional character Kinzo and his death inside his fictional universe, after all.
Since there a tons of clues for Kanon and Shannon not being real people since very early, and also about the fictional nature of the scenarios themselves, I don't think R07 is as much of a hack as many people think. Not because of a perfectly reasonably solution to the main mystery in universe.

Because they want to get more money out of it.

It'd depend on how well it does. Don't expect Tatarigoroshi to be adapted if the first cour is an Umineko-tier bomb.

Higurashi is more popular to it's natural. Maybe we get Umineko if this get enough support

Conan is murder mystery and its pretty popular in Japan. It's more likely that VN readers are low iq weebs who read VN for porn.

Should I read the original or console version of higurashi?

all the versions are fine

then why is higurashi so praised

None of you retards realize that they just want to ruin it and in exchange make it away more popular among the new generation. Say good bye to higurashi for good. It's always possible to get worse.

Because it's a harem with a guy surrounded by girls who dress up in fanservice outfits for him. It also panders to them by having a doctor be an open pedophile as if that's totally normal. Don't forget how the cast randomly goes on tangents about moe despite the series taking place in the 80s.

you can stop pretending thats the reason when Erika goes around in a sukumizu
nobody reads Higurashi for the Angel Mort scenes and they don't read it for the fanservice outfits
also why are you so sure Umineko isn't popular in japan?
have you asked them?

Then why did Ryukishi include scenes like that in the first case?

because they're fun?

See, you praised them. That means Higurashi is praised for them.

those segments being fun doesn't mean thats all higurashi is good for
heres your final (You)
