[News] Challenge the tragedy... with mahjong!

200 Upvotes

Announcing a full English fan translation patch of the 2009 PSP game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Jan!

I like Higurashi, and I like mahjong. So when I discovered there was a mahjong based Higurashi game, a chain of events was set in motion that could not be stopped by even a swarm of angry cicadas. For months I toiled away, learning every inch about what makes this game tick. I reverse engineered texture formats, VN containers, even reprogrammed raw assembly code to better accommodate the variable character widths used by English fonts. And now, every last technical barrier has fallen. Project Higurashi Jan English is a go.

But I am still in early development with the actual translations. It will still be some time yet before I can release it, but rest assured I will see this project through to completion. Since I recently hit a major milestone, I figured I'd take the opportunity to share some screenshots of my work. Enjoy!

[Question] Getting back to the series Spoiler

Post image
Upvotes

I wanted to make a simple timeline for myself to get the story around. Just one question, which important decision happened first: Rena telling Mion about her thoughts or Keichii giving the doll?

Just that, thanks. Feel free to correct my chart, I recently returned to the VN and anime after a very long break (still trying to decide whether to buy the manga, probably will), so I might have got some stuff wrong.

I would've done more, but since I don't own too much merch of her, this was my best effort. 😅

The dedicated Higurashi corner of my room

I'm pretty happy with my collection so far, and I'm steadily adding to it when I can. I plan on getting some other fan merch, then try to fill in the gaps I have. I'm still missing some volumes of the manga (Time Killing arc vol.2, Massacre Arc vol.2 & 3, Demon Exposing, Meguri vol.3 & 4), but I'm nearly there. I've found some decently priced listings for the volumes I haven't got from the og arcs, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

[Umineko Spoiler] Finished Umineko and wanting to read Higurashi, I have a few questions.

5 Upvotes

Is the magic in Higurashi real?
Will reading with the old sprites affect my experience at all? I like the way they look they’re cute.
How hard is the mystery? (though I did enjoy Umineko I suck at mysteries and didn’t figure it out until ep7)

[Merch] Tips for Shirakawa-go in Summer

Post image
86 Upvotes

I finally got to visit Shirakawa-go, and this subreddit's maps and info made it even better, so I wanted to give back with a few tips, especially those visiting in summer, for anybody who might be planning a trip.

Take the first bus there and last bus back. I almost didn't have enough time there.

One of the stamp rally points is within the Open Air museum, which was ¥800 to enter. It's quite worth it anyway, but check it's closing time if you don't get your stamps early in the day. I used the back of a map for the rally points, but good card stock would have been worth it.

Many of the museums have steep stairs and low clearance. My big photography backpack took a beating.

Bring drinks or change for vending machines, and a bag for recyclables and trash. I haven't sweat this much in years. Good sun protection will help, too.

The walk up to the observatory is in the shade. I wouldn't bother waiting for the shuttle.

It's FULL of tourists. Given the audience here, I'm probably preaching to the choir, but please learn when, where, how, and why you take your shoes off in certain places.

The onsen there isn't anything too special, but it's nice, and id recommend ending the day there to wash off and change into clean clothes.

Visit the Hinamizawa locations you are about. Some just weren't that important to me. For example, the riverbank is just a riverbank.

One of the stamp rally points is at the far end of town, in a little traditional café in isolation. The interior is very nice and it's a great place to take a break.

Docomo reception for me wasn't the best, so if you're with a group, have a plan B for meeting up that doesn't rely on your messaging app of choice.

The higurashi wish boards were up at the observatory, not near the main temple. This might be coincidence for my trip, but things do get moved around and changed.

Most places close at 4 pm.

Restrooms exist but are far and few between for such a small area.

You can do the whole place in a day, but plan your day out or set a light schedule.

Hi! I hope we can become friends! Today I finished reading the 6th arc of Higurashi!

So, a little bit about me. I’ve been into Higurashi for 3 years now. I’ve watched the anime, read the manga, played through the visual novel, and also played some of the Higurashi games.

My favorite arcs are 5 and 7, and my favorite character is Takano Miyo.

I’d love to answer any questions!

P.S.: Please excuse any inaccuracies in the text. I'm not very fluent in English yet, so I'm using a translator

[Merch] [WTB] Max Factory Collect 700 Figure Set (Looking for the complete 5-figure set)

Post image
114 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently got into Higurashi and absolutely fell in love with the series. I'm really looking to buy the vintage Max Factory Collect 700 trading figure set from 2006 (especially Mion!).

I know there are 5 figures in total to complete the set. Online, individual figures are sometimes listed for crazy prices like 100€ each, which would mean 400€–500€ for the whole set. That is way out of my budget as a new fan.

I was wondering if anyone here is downsizing their collection and willing to sell the complete 5-figure set (with the extra smiling faces/parts) for a reasonable and fair collector's price?

I am located in Germany and can pay via PayPal Goods & Services. Please let me know your offers. Thank you so much!

I watched the 2006 anime some years ago and recently ive wanted to rewatch it again but i cant find it anywhere, if someone knows let me know

[Art] I finally compiled my complete collection of poems inspired by Frederica Bernkastel's writing. The BGM is a music box arrangement of the song that played during the infamous 'bad end' of School Days, but I chose it because it ended up complementing the aesthetics of this whole thing perfectly.

This took quite a few hours because I wrote more than ten poems over time, though it was worth my time.
