Umineko and MLP are a perfect crossover. Just ask the seven stake sisters. Friendship is magic!

But is the punchline that "Friendship is magic" means that friends are imaginary? :P

Back to the topic of the new licensing...seems there's talk of people wanting Michelle Ruff as Takano if we get the dub. Apparently, I'm not alone in thinking that Christina Valenzula would make a good Rika. If that were to end up becoming reality, I guess we'd end up with Hilarious in Hindsight for certain reasons.

Umineko x Persona 4 crossover...

It would turn out that Yosuke and Chie were both Adachi in disguise all along.

Actually, come to think of it,

wouldn't Beatrice, Shannon, and Kanon all be personas of Yasu? Yasu-protag for P5 confirmed!

Now all the P3 protagonists need is a glock and we will have a party.

And now I'm thinking of P4's storyline, but replacing all the main characters with the Umineko cast.

On another note, we have the covers of the two final volumes of the manga, which come out tomorrow − the same day as the last two volumes of the RGD manga, talk about a timing.

…This time it's really the end… ;__;

Umineko will always live on within my heart. =(

Plus once it gets a Steam release it will get a bit more life too.

Dat volume 9 cover breaks my heart.

On a bit of a tangent but, I'm in the middle of RGD's episode 3 and it really is quite different from Ryukishi's usual works. It's a lot more straightforward and exciting, which is not a bad thing at all even though the complicated and horror in R07's writing is why we like him best.

There's a thread to talk about RGD if you want. I'm kind of the only one posting in it though. tongue

There was no fourth wall breaking.

Or there was fourth wall breaking, but what we as readers would normally consider fourth wall is the fifth wall.

Basically, you decide what it was about. It might be about two souls in Purgatory, or two people solving each other's issues through roleplaying their traumas, or one person solving his own issues through roleplaying his traumas with an imaginary friend.

It's a story within a story that's about a story.

And in that story, set in the late 1900s, Higurashi is referenced.

Well, Higurashi had references to Metal Gear Solid and Dead or Alive so, yeah. tongue

Welp, the episode 8 manga is officially done / translated to english.

Goddamn, it hits right in the feels.

And also adds a ton of stuff to explain all those lingering questions.

Would definitely recommend the ep8 manga over the VN version, for new readers.

Can I get a summary of what I'm missing? :P

Pretty much everything is explained. Like what happened between Yasu and Battler after the Episode 7 Tea Party, how Eva reacted to Tooya's first forgery, or how Ange survived her jump from the bulding.

A scene is added with Ange visiting her family's graves.

Also, the final scene has been slightly altered: Witch!Battler is present in the lineup and helps his human self to get up from the wheelchair.

Another change is that, contrary to the VN, adult Ange did meet Ikuko in 1998, with Tooya just pretending he wasn't there.

Oh, and Amakusa became Ange's buttler apparently.
