Sort of. Takano was her piece. They're separate entities, but Lambda is "sponsoring" her as a character on the game board so to speak
Can you even call it a twist if they give it away in the fucking OP? Lol.
I guess this is what I get for being too slow to catch up to Umineko. Still is garbage, though. Even the club reunion was garbage, they literally recycled an actual game they did in the series down to the punishments and who got them and admitted it in the show. Couldn't even come up with anything else.
Also lol still no ED credits with any art or nothing. I've noticed a pattern that anime series that tend to play credits over the footage but no OP/ED music, or have the theme song put over the footage but not have it properly lead into the OP itself (the way WataMote did it was godtier btw) all have pacing issues and some of those shows were even just lazily-put together. Gou has done this way too many times for my liking that it's honestly one of the negative points against it because you just do not skip the OP of anything Higurashi ever, but its issues go so much deeper than that. The fuck is Ryukishi even doing? Does he even know what he's doing anymore?

While I saw the "secretly an Umineko prequel" a mile away, I do find it a little lame that it ended up this way.
The whole series somehow feels like one of those "reunions" for old sitcoms where you can tell that none of the cast really want to be there, except with the fictional characters.
That being said, at least the VAs seem to having fun, getting their chance to act out L5.

If Kentaro Miura had a patreon I'd be an automatic $10 patron. Too bad the Japanese just hate making money, I guess.

That's actually more true than you probably think.
Unlike American corporations, who are driven by the desire to profit more at all costs, the Japanese aren't motivated into action by chasing ever-increasing revenue. It's not to say that they don't want to make more money - I'm sure all businesses do - but they want to make more money their way, and if they just don't "feel like" doing something, they're not going to, even if it has insane profit potential.

I was doing a studio trigger marathon and I just finished wathing BNA, I have to say that I find this one to be their most disappointing show
I thought the first episode was good, I like the animation, the designs and the characters, but the big problem the show has is that the pasing is just bad, it just moves from plot point to plot point without much breathing room, it feels like they had the show planned for 24 episodes and then they just got the budget for 12
I enjoyed it, but man, does it feel rushed, definitely my least favorite show from trigger after kiznaiver

I think his first mistake was to have a studio that farms most of their work to China, Jakarta and Thailand animate this version. Because at least Re:Zero has the excuse of being both,nearly 30 minutes and trying to tell a story, even if it's padded as shit. What's Passione's excuse for making Gou without a second ED animation?

I haven't even read Umineko yet, Hell, I still have the Dice Killing Manga to read (It's in my mobile in .cbz format). I actually thought Hanyuu came back as a MILF until I read the comments on reddit.

So what is really canon? This or the first Higurashi? And why the fuck it is a prequel to an anime adaption that sucks?
What the fuck, if Satoko's apparently a looper now with the goal of "keep Rika", why the fuck did she allow herself to get fucked over into ptsd by her uncle (don't try to claim "it's inevitable" like Rika being dissected)? All the loops we've seen are shit, and Satoko's doing a shitty job of being a time looper with a goal. Edit: and to clarify even further, in the original series other than her dissection Rika never caught Hinamizawa Syndrome or was tortured very much, and it's not because she's the "Queen Carrier" (which by the way, isn't a real thing), it's because it's plot irrelevant. By the time Satoko is being abused by Teppei in Gou, Satoko's already been through one or two loops and knows there's a way out, to a different world with arguably less shit circumstances. But we can't have that, because then it would ruin TEH BIG REVEAL

The anime that sucks was based on a then still in progress visual novel. Just like Higurashi was a VN first. Deen butchered the storytelling and tried to make their own answers that would contradict what the actual answers in Umineko were. The actual Umineko VN is pretty good.
As for canon, I'd say most of the VN aside from fanservice stuff like most of what got adapted into the Rei and Kira OVAs. Out of that, Saikoroshi is canon and I personally consider Yumeutsushi-hen canon but that's purely personal opinion. The manga and its post-matsuribayashi arc are also canon in my book. Really good and, dare I say, wholesome ending.
Higurashi Outbreak is an AU, but the sequel VN arc Kamikashimashi-hen I throw out because of the totaly asinine revelations about Hanyuu and the new characters' backstory and the ending.
Everyone else keeps the character growth and lessons they learned in the original, but the moment Rika brings up St. Lucia, Satoko forgets everything and regresses back to square one so she can be a villain or maybe even turn into Lambdadelta because reasons.
Come to think of it, wasn't Rika's original motivation " I want to live and be with my friends and get titties", not "I want to leave the village"? Am I crazy or is this another retcon?
I figured from the moment the OP went up on Youtube this would tie into Umineko but this is such a clumsy way to do it. At the very least, it should've been Lambda appearing to Satoko and giving her a deal to become her piece. Featherine shouldn't have popped up until later. Have another character be her avatar like Hachijo Ikuko. Maybe some teacher at St. Lucia with something off about her. Or that nurse that just so happened to be the same one that killed Satoko in Yakusamashi-hen.

It is kinda weak. For me their best work (that I've seen at least) has been Little Witch Academia. It balances the plot and comfy stuff better than KLK.
Yes, her whole motive after dying for what could be considered hundreds of years was just "I want to fucking live past being 11 and also grow boobs." A good enough wish if you've been fucking gutted over and over. AND THEN when Satoko's gutting her in Gou she says "this is totally because I wanted to leave the village isn't it" NO, RIKA, NO IT'S NOT.

I agree, I liked LWA quite a bit
wouldn't even be for insane profits, it would just open up the channels globally and be free money (although I'd assume the ones with a publishing contract would be out, imagine publishing houses wouldn't like artists making money on the side for already licensed material). that also reminds me that nip IP law is anal af to begin with.
still, for an independent doujin artist it would be great, basically "if you like what you just read, wherever you got it from, might as well send a few bucks to the artist". even if only every 10th puts in a few dollars, globally that can add up - legit fans understand quite well that the only way to get more of the stuff you like is spending money on it.

So apparently Redo of Healer's MC turned one of his old enemies into a tranny and then mind controlled his own soldiers to gangrape him while he burned them all alive. Kind of curious how long it can sustain the fetish/rape of the week format, eventually you have to run out of stuff you can show on tv, right?
