Umineko - Requests for new threads

[MeoTwister5]

Meh. I need to go practice reading again.

[momobunny]

An EP. 5 thread would be nice right about now. =P
Seeing as the portrait and a few screenshots were revealed, people are already talking about it.

[chronotrig]

Seconded, otherwise EP5 discussion will spill into other threads and spoil people who don't want to be spoiled.

[Deathkillz]

Unfortunately, overlord Klash isn't here at the moment so we will have to hang on for a bit. But the way the discussions are all spread out between a few threads is getting to me. I can see slip ups with spoilers if this continues...

Requesting : 'What you miss from Deen'

On a serious note, this thread would serve as a place for people to point out the differences between game, manga and anime, and for people to participate in discussions over them. There's been a considerable number of difference posts in each episode thread, which is not to say that it's not allowed, but I thought it's a good idea to have it all contained in a new thread where, if people are interested, they can visit the thread knowing full well what they expect, and save the episode threads for discussion over plot points and plot impressions (not over adaptations) instead.

[Anime] Umineko - Spoilers & Expectations (for experienced VN readers only) thread fits the need for those particular group of VN readers who want to compare the anime adaptation critically.

[MeoTwister5]

I'm actualy surprised people still want a thread to complain in, considering that the Spoilers thread has had a lot of complaining posts lately.

That may be because even though it already has a thread to complain, people still don't get enough and complain it in inside the discussion thread.

While it wasn't my idea, I think the purpose of the proposed thread was to provide all the information from the VN the anime left out to the anime-viewers, without going further than the current point in the anime and upated weekly in accord with each episode. This doesn't seem like a bad idea to me, as it might provide some insight on character's actions and some possibly critical details that were omitted.

[Klashikari]

Instead of a discussion, you want a thread that list up all missing elements in the anime adaptation compared to the manga and VN? that certainly wouldn't be bad at all, as it would be purely about information and not opinion (which is why I'm reluctant to create another thread, since weekly episode thread ARE made so that everyone can give a critic/appreciation, regardless who they are).

For this point, I will try to make something though it is a bit difficult to list all omitted elements.

I made a list for another forum I go to, if you would like that. Though I'm not the best at summarizing.

[zato_1one]

Isn't it a time to create Episode 3 discussion thread?

[Alaya]

Maybe the Mods are busy. We might have to wait a little bit.

[Klashikari]

There is no need to put post about an episode thread creation: I perfectly know the airing time, but it isn't like I'm online 24/24 either.
If it is really late, just PM a mod or wait, but posting won't change anything.

[theacefrehley]

Just a suggestion:

To create a new thread for EP5 when the game actually comes out

That first one:
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=83581
...Is already a mess, 30 pages of baseless chit-chat

Is that fine?

[MeoTwister5]

But you have to consider the fact that the large majority of people who want to play the game don't know enough Japanese to play it even when it comes out (like me). Unless Witch Hunt plans to work on it as well (Klash hasn't said anything yet), it's only going to be useful for a very few number of people.

[theacefrehley]

That's the good point.
I think there are like 10 people (or a bit more) here who can read it.
It's enough to pull out a good discussion without so much mess and flood.
When they release the patch for EP5, you can join in too.

It's just a suggestion, though

[MeoTwister5]

I'd say create the thread when someone plans to work on the translation. In my case, I'd only go and try to order episode 5 when that happens. It's kinda hard to order where I live, so I have to be absolutely sure I'll be able to play it.

[izmosmolnar]

Ace has a valid point, it's also possible to merge the two threads when the english patch is out.

[Rena Ryuuguu]

I know there was said only a maximum of 7character threads but would it be ok if I ask for a Kanon Thread or might even a Thread for all Servants. if there should be one meanwhile I'm sorry.
