(L) [Manga] Umineko no Naku Koro ni

[KanonTheFurniture]

I don't think it'd necessarily be more Shoujo-looking than EP4's art...I was actually wondering, since EP4 started, how the violent scenes would be handled, but after seeing the first twilight I can't say I disapprove. If I recall, Watanagashi/Meakashi's art was quite appropriately spooky when necessary, so I think it'd work pretty well with Umineko too.

[~Ayane~]

Who do you hope to be the mangakas for EP7-8? Personally I'd take Jirou Suzuki for Requiem

hell no

fortunately i think she is doing something else now (there was some ad in current gfantasy) and hopefully she will stick with it until all of umineko is taken.

i would gladly welcome new artists personally

I don't think it'd necessarily be more Shoujo-looking than EP4's art

you think this is shojo looking?

[Kirroha]

I wasn't much of a fan of Jirou Suzuki's art personally. And Natsumi Kei for EP8 might not really fit, since her style was best with the creepy factor. Unless it's going to have a downer ending.

episode 6 chapter 1

(just saying that I've already answered Lambdadelta-san by pm, ok? i'm not ignoring her or anything...)

[KanonTheFurniture]

I don't know if it's because you guys were collaborating with that other group, but there are a LOT more typos than usual in the EP6 chapter...I don't mean to sound like a jerk, it's just really noticeable, and I think there should be more proofreading done before releasing the chapters :/

[Nabiki Asakura]

I'm just responsable for cleaning and edition this time, translation and proofread is cougarpeople work, but I'll alert her about it =3

[Kirroha]

I'm officially a huge fan of the Episode 6 art!

[Noob1992]

I think Natsumi Kei and Jirou Suzuki arts is better, can't wait for ep 3 chapters

[Bluemail]

I like all the Umineko mangakas, while Natsumi Kei, Jirou Suzuki and Hinase Momoyama are the best of the bunch. EP6 art is great, I'll have to read Minagoroshi-hen sometime as well...
I noticed the typos too.

[~Ayane~]

Jirou Suzuki

best of the bunch.

yeah, isnt she ?

Spoiler:

Jiro Suzuki makes characters hideous, Hanase Momoyama cant draw a single background and Akitaka just can't "catch" characters except for the few (but s/he might actually get better with time, Natsumi's Battler for example didnt look very good at first too)
Natsumi Kei is awesome and Souichirou is awesome (except for drawing boys), those two new guys are bearable but i hope they will change some things with time, and Ep2...ugh im glad it ended. Higurashi's mangas also arent anything special majorly...meh, for a series that great Square could choose better...

I like to think he's just being personal. And isn't Maria supposed to look "hideous" there? It's not like were not used to ugly expressions in Umineko.

[Kirroha]

Maria isn't supposed to look 'hideous' at all. Just look at the VNs, she looks evil, but otherwise perfectly fine-looking.

I think Jirou Suzuki's exaggerated expressions really look terrible, no offense.

[Bluemail]

With "hideous" I don't mean DEEN-QUALITY, the example there is honestly not that bad (for me). But I do understand where you're coming from, there's also characters being much skinnier than they're supposed to. Liking Jirou Suzuki might be my fault of immensely enjoying trollfaces.

[Hiera]

I'd like Yutori Hojo to draw some Umineko episode. She drown few Umineko pictures and posted them on her web site, here:

But right now she is drawing her own manga, Gakuen Nightmare and I don't think she will have time for Umineko.

If you're gonna play that card...

Spoiler for Size:

Not that I like most of Suzuki's character designs, but she's shown improvement and has drawn some scenes pretty well. Just saying that Natsumi Kei's style troll faces aren't that great either.

Spoiler for Two nice panels from Suzuki:

[Falsetto]

Since we're having this discussion...
I admit, Jirou Suzuki used to be my least favourite of the manga artists. However, I've now come to appreciate her style. I honestly don't like how she draws Beato and she often makes characters really thin, but Suzuki excels at emotional impact, imo. She times certain things really well and she's good at page design (her panels are rarely static and square.)
My choices for the next manga artists would be Souichirou for Ep7 and Natsumi Kei for Ep8.

Isn't she the one who did Watangashi and Meakashi-hen of Higurashi?
