I'm currently playing reading the Umineko no Naku Koro ni visual novel, which is actually pretty awesome so far - except I really like a lot of the characters, especially Battler, Jessica and George, and I'm worrying because it's becoming pretty clear that, in true When They Cry fashion, the story is heading towards grisly end(s) for most of the characters. D: D: D:
For some reason I've really been into visual novels lately - I've played through Katawa Shoujo a few times, which is surprisingly sweet and sensitive for something engendered in the hellish pit that is 4chan, and am hoping to work my way through Fate/stay night once I finish Umineko. And I want to get the official release of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni once I finish those, because I really liked the anime and want to play the games that inspired it. (Even if the artist for both Higurashi and Umineko can't draw hands to save his life.)
Edit: Also, forgot to mention this before, but
enkiae, you seriously need to play this; it's like Higurashi but with the killer-loli and scheming-frosty-ojousama ratio reversed! (And one of the two lolis has an encyclopedic knowledge of Western black magic, so...)

Date: 2010-07-15 12:41 pm (UTC)Maria definitely has her moments; just wait till the fourth novel. But god the kids are SO CUTE. Why is Battler just a huge ball of adorable dorkiness? Plus I also really like Shannon, for some odd reason.

Date: 2010-07-16 12:22 pm (UTC)Battler is just LOL to me. Him and his trademark lines really have a feel of "OBJECTION" to them, and god he's so damn cute and total determinator to the max. I don't think anyone can maintain that sort of composure and optimism whilst being put through the emotion/physical wringer like he is.

Date: 2010-07-13 11:47 am (UTC)Also, some people seem to hate
[NAME EXPUNGED]a specific character introduced in the fourth game....
*RAGES AGAINST THE HEAVENS*
Second game is okay, I think, but prepare to shit MAJOR bricks with the third.

Date: 2010-07-14 04:25 pm (UTC)I take it the fourth episode character that people hate is the main character from the future chapter? I haven't met her, but given the hilariously hard-headed awesomeness of her sibling, I can't imagine I wouldn't like her. XD
