I have no idea. My guess is that it's Japan-exclusive. Too bad 'cause those new story arcs look interesting.

[fuff]

first time hearing about that...any more info on it?????

[Shikou]

So you know how Sentai FilmWorks licensed Higurashi and there seems to be an English track listed? Turns out its the old dub. How do I know this? Well Higurashi Kai info surfaced and its English subs only.

This site is one of the few sources I found for it.

But since it's in Japanese, I don't know what to make of it without trying to Google Translate it.

Interesting. The name and picture remind me a lot of one of the three plots described for TRianThology. I wonder if this is related to that.

Edit: Looking into it, yeah, it is. It seems this is the story by Romeo Tanaka. It's a neat little unexpected preview.

[st_nick5]

Haven't been around here recently. Just started work, so been busy with that. Do we have any information on when TRianThology will be released? And where can I buy Iwaihime? Looks like it's been released, but I can't find anywhere that's selling it.

[GrAVit]

Huh, cool!

So what about the other two plots? Who will those be made by? Are they all collaborations by the same people? Will the plots be related?

First of all, he pointed out that the 3 capitalized letters in the title represent the 3 different authors involved in the project.
He won’t give away storyline, but he did want to give away some teaser.
The 1st world is set in the country side. The storyline involves high school friends who went on a school trip together, eventually dispersed, but then came back together.
The 2nd world is set in a galge school setting, like ToHeart. The protagonist is a boy popular with many girls, and has a harem story.
The 3rd world is a Call of Duty-like setting involving war. In reference to a previous panel, Ryukishi pointed out to the audience that “It’s not zombies, though, it’s aliens!”
Each of the stories can be enjoyed in two ways: individually, or going back and forth between the stories to see all the ways in which they’re connected. It will be a very complex and layered work.

[frbernkastel]

Nameless work from R07.
Artist: Yukari Higa
Magazine: Shounen Sirius

Spoiler for Nameless work:

Wild speculation. Perhaps, it'll be an adaptation of the 2nd world of Trianthology.

Sounds very interesting! Looking forward to some fan translations.

Oh jesus

I love you, Ryukishi, and I've no doubt I'll love this too, but... I think I'll wait until the game comes out. I think it'll give me a much better and more accurate sample of what this is all about?

For the most part it was fine, but... Kurokami's introduction was hysterical. It was really, really funny, and I'm positive it is not meant to be.

(And yes, it does seem like Another, but Another's premise wasn't the most unique thing under the sun.)

I've heard from someone who played the VN said dialogue cuts out a lot from VN, so if you want some detailed and endearing character, guess waiting the VN translated.

Guys, did you notice that the two new Hou characters appear in the Side-Effect Sui op? (I think, at least) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaoqARU4MLQ
Try to pause it around 5:48/5:49/5:50! I think Une and the other God (the pink haired one) appears in the kakera... or I'm just high and seeing things

Yeah, it's not uncommon for the series (including Umineko) to reveal many of the characters in the intro and to do a bit of foreshadowing. I suppose it acts as sort of an incentive to keep reading, considering the length and everything. :P

Ohhhhh got it xd

[Observer1994]

Yeah the whole, "Don't talk or pay attention to Kurosami" Is just dripping with Another tease.

Artist: Don't worry, it's a "toe."

Spoiler:

Hmm. Maybe if I squint my eyes hard enough, perhaps I could see my big toe shape like the head of penis. ....... Nope.

Wow, didn't expect this. Quite excited for it actually, I just hope they won't goof it up like they did with the live action movies.

Also a person called Rika casting the Sonozaki sisters and Reina casting Satoko. lol
