Doing so due to the upcoming release of umineko by mangagamer. Guess I'm wondering how much interest there still is in umineko from the leftover animesuki community? I'm also willing to clarify some things about the new release within the reach of what is possible at that point.
In the hope umineko can get a new hype even if much shorter one. Personally I've been wanting to reread umineko for a long time with a more distant mindset. New translation and visuals is definitively the opportunity to do so for me.

I've already re-read Umineko once, and it was a great experience. Once MangaGamer's finished releasing their new version, I'll be ready for my third read-through
I think Umineko's gotten a lot of hype lately. It's a small fandom, but a passionate and die-hard one.

Yeah, and it really doesn't help the average Steam-user's impression of "VN? Isn't that like a Japanese porn game or something?"
I hope the Umineko sprites avoid that issue, since IMHO Umineko is the best novel for introducing new readers to VNs and getting them interested in the medium.
