the last guy couldn't do it any neither can you Prof, but I salute you for trying

also ew the PS3 sprites

e: I guess Shiny actually used them too. He made it to early Episode 3, let's see if you can beat the high score.

The sprite issues aside, you definitely need to get some videos in there because the added voice acting is fantastic and adds a lot to some scenes.

e: actually moreso than the sprites I think the PS3 misses the weird filtered photo backgrounds

I honestly like the existing visual more, it lets you see the background art better. Don't switch at all, imo.

It's especially weird because the port went to the trouble of replacing all of the blurred photo backgrounds (which I liked) with actual background art so slapping a box on it is an extremely strange choice.

The best part about Kinzo is that there are somehow characters even better than him.

Umineko has a lot of cards left to play. If you see something odd, there's probably a reason for it.

I say this both because it's true and to jack up the general level of semi-justified paranoia.

I knew a grown rear end college student who did the third person talking thing when I was living in Tokyo, so I guess it varies.

(If you want an anime that does a good job of portraying a child as something other than a weird, stupid adult, maybe give Sweetness and Lightning a shot.)

Or known anime only series Bunny Drop.

Seriously, wtf is up with Maria? Even a nine year old should know not to be celebrating the death of a nice cousin's parents.

quote:

On the tenth twilight, the journey shall end, and you shall reach the village of gold.

The witch will praise the wise, and should bestow four treasures.
One shall be, all the gold from the Golden Land.
One shall be, the resurrection of the souls of all the dead.
One shall be, even the resurrection of the lost love.
One shall be, to put the witch to sleep for all time.
Sounds pretty rad to me!

Sayaka Ohara (Beatrice) is a real treasure to listen to. She really is. You can tell how much she enjoys playing the role with every word she says. I love it. :allears: If you haven't watched any of the videos in the thread thus far for the voice acting yet, I recommend you do so from now on. While everyone's really good I can't help but consider Beatrice being on another level, altogether.

This thread could easily be called Daisuke Ono and Sayaka Ohara Scream At Each Other Forever

So if we can circle back to the epitaph for a little bit, what does it actually mean to be "chosen by the key"? I know the whole thing was called "the demon's roulette", but "chosen" implies there's something making a choice.

The choice is yours, the be incompetent or accept the witch

Looks like one more question episode. (Which is apparently needed to solve the mystery) then 4 breakdown episodes. Don't really know much about anything on this stuff. Other then having heard about a character in the breakdown episodes.

With regards to this, Prof, after 4 is done what say you to giving them a week break to commiserate on the Epitaph, solutions, etc? Because once Chiru starts poo poo is going to get weird fast.
