I just had a sudden idea- So, maybe this is all why Ryukishi's coming to America for the first time? The announcement that he was visiting ACEN mentioned that two other guests from 07th Expansion were coming, so maybe..?

Well, seeing as the original pamphlet had a picture of this character in a Sci-Fi setting, and this has her in fantasy garb, I'd be willing to guess that it'd be similar to Tezuka's Solar System. Unique storylines featuring the same characters and the same themes, but in different settings with different roles. Maybe a world for each author? I would be willing to guess Ryukishi was doing the Sci-Fi one, since that was announced first.

Well, let's just take this one as a positive reply then. Out of curiosity — was his answer in English or in Japanese, and, if latter, what the original text would be? |

Turns out that it is based on Alice in Wonderland- Or, more specifically, Through the Looking Glass. The Hinamizawa Bus Stop revival is referring to a Japanese revival, apparently.

Well, if the title "Alice and the Three-Sided Mirror" has baring on the plot, I think it's kind of clear that the Looking Glass is what connects the worlds, and the Sci-Fi one is only one of these worlds.

2. Nah, i just asked for permission to port his game to another free engine. 3. I don't really have an idea, i just sent the letter to the whatever e-mail i thought wasn't dead, namely fujix... mcn.ne.jp. Though now i google it, and it actually seems sorta dead. |

Anyhow, it seems Hinamizawa Bus Stop is getting a Japanese stage play as well. I noticed that someone posted the info in the 4chan thread. However, now we have an Australian stage play and a Japanese one. Although I wonder why the latter was announced so sudden. Hmm. Quote:

People tweeted from the anime boston panel that we will be getting the original BGM and it'll be released on May 15.
EDIT: http://blog.mangagamer.org/2015/04/0...announcements/ Looks like they're going to release all of Higurashi.

I was at the panel, and it was lots of fun. MangaGamer staff always have such a great sense of humor.
Restoring the OST is the best part for me. Now I definitely know I'll be replaying Higurashi, once it's all out. I'll probably be waiting forever, though, since I don't buy games with DRM and will have to wait until a hard copy release of it all. Well, it looks like they'll both have content that the other is missing (console arcs vs Hou). So basically, you're damned either way |

Hou announced.
http://blog.mangagamer.org/2015/04/0...announcements/ They are going to release every Higurashi chapter that was ever written for PC. This is amazing Well done, MangaGamer! Options to switch between the new sprites and the old New Higurashi Hou sprites will also be redone in the new sprite style The BGM that were replaced in the initial release will be restored to the original versions Options to switch between playing in English and Japanese on-the-fly. Oh my god xDDD This is going to be so good! Amazing job, MangaGamer, I love you. We have to buy the shit out of this, everyone. Such an amazing release in English of WTC hasn't happened before and if we show them that we are a stable fanbase, maybe Umineko and other Ryukishi works are also going to make it to the west? Quote:

Sad to say but there isn't. It seems likely that Hou will be DLC seeing how it wasn't in the game. Other than Hanyu in that bear costume thing during the quiz (I think) and a glimmer of Une and Tamura on a crystal in the intro.

Just saw the news about Mangagmer getting Hou (was out of touch for the week, didn't really have time or even tough about coming here), that's pretty damn awesome and even resolve the problem with the musics, never expected them to go that far. Which means we're also gonna get updated sprites for the Hou new characters, kinda interested in seeing how they'll handle Hinamizawa Bus.
