Well yeah, it's not funny when their blaming the creator for it. They should think about how there's actually an extra person who might or might not change things between the original distribution and the pirate file. It's bad if their experience was totally ruined and they lost faith in 07th Expansion, and don't even try to get the real deal.

So many people give him too little credit for Higanbana, as far as I'm concerned. But I can't say anything for certain, considering how little people seem to want to talk about it. Maybe it's because it has nothing of considerable value to speculate...

I'm pretty pumped for Higanbana personally. I'm probably gonna cave and read through ATLAS. And I hear someone on Tumblr is planning on making a slughtly cleaned up ATLAS patch, if that's news for anyone here. I can find a source if someone's interested.
I'm really interested to see where Ryuukishi goes with this school setting infested with ghosts....

I thought the same thing! Ryuukishi has said that Higanbana isn't something to be solved, but I don't doubt that this was done intentionally. Perhaps it's some form of "extra entertainment" for those who have played Umineko (or can think in that style). Or else it might be a trap for people who have played Umineko. In the same way some people got confused in Umineko because of Higurashi. Edit: Also, Hikaru is male? I never would have guessed. Last edited by TW25; 2011-08-18 at 13:41. |

It seems that a Higanbana Translation Project is being started here:
http://ronove.blogspot.com/2011/08/h...anslation.html And it seems to already have two possible translators, which is always good.

Yeah, a quick glance at musicbox red shows what zts is capable of beyond murder rave songs: dead angle, apathy, voiceless, wingless; all beautiful.
But back on topic, it seems that 4% overall is done, 26% being from the first story.

The person who's doing this is being VERY open about it. Hell, s/he's even planning to show the script for all to see, and for some to help edit, once the first story reaches 100% completion.
I'm just glad the first part's backstory is being told by an actual narrator, and not by some psychotic child molester sitting on a toilet seat. Quote:

First issue is the language barrier. I can read some things like Katakana, Hiragana, etc. But I'm far from fluent. I could always try keeping a japanese dictionary with me, but then... Second problem is my computer refusing to install this thing that'll let my computer run in Japanese Locale so I can't get passed a scene even if I wanted to. And finally, I don't have the will to go crazy and spend days/weeks/months trying to get Higanbana to work. I'll make this clear: I've pretty much lost faith in Ryukishi. His art hasn't gotten any better (not a huge problem but I still like nice sprites to look at), the story seems very similar to his other works (notably Umineko with Marie's backstory resembling a certain redhead's backstory) and 2 of my favorite characters (from design only) are/were Spoiler for the Spirit Camera and Hameln's Castanets:
inb4uminekotalkthatdoesn'tbelonginthisthread To add something positive to this: The music is nice. I like the opening quite a bit and some of the other tracks as well. What was it called, Putsu Putsu? Creepy feeling. Approval.
