Visual Novel Petition Club

Information

The objective of this Club is now three-fold;

1) To petition for there to be a Visual Novel List on MAL.
2) To create interest in the Visual Novel genre as well as their many animé and manga adaptations.
3) To discuss Visual Novels with other users.

If anyone has any ideas for the Club then by all means let me know. Also, if anyone would like to volunteer to make sig's and a banner that would be great too.

I finally have some sig's up in the Banner thread. Expect more soon.

each one (basically) represents an alternate scenario. the first 4 are question arcs, which lays out the 4 different scenarios, and the last 4 are answer arcs, corresponding to the first four and giving you the " big picture" and resolution to the first 4. there is chinese translation to the question arcs and rei but not the answer arcs

Well there are a total of 8 visual novels for Higurashi, originally anyway before the series took off. Each of those novels constitutes a standalone story which in turn contributes to the overall story of Higurashi, a story arc if you will.

So I guess the best way of describing an arc is a story within the overall story?

What's the definition of an arc of Higurashi anyway? A path? A collection of stories?

hirahira | 10-26-09, 11:41 AM

I think the first 4 arcs will be released on December 15th

Yeah, I figured as much, wonder what made my friend become so adamant about it already being released.

PimpToad | 10-25-09, 11:33 PM

Well since this is the VN club, I'm assuming you are talking about the visual novels and not the mangas. Only Onikakushi-hen has been fully translated, though I believe the Sonozaki twins took down their patch or something. Should be able to find it if you look hard enough. I have no other news concerning the remaining 7 arcs so best you look it up yourself.

Necrow | 10-24-09, 9:20 PM

Last I knew, they had up to chapter 4 translated no? (if they didn't, I wonder wtf I was smoking.)

I have to say that I've managed to comprehend pretty much all of the jap text I've had to look up online when ATLAS fails to deliver. I usually use the gibberish ATLAS gives as a base of comparison to the broken down translation given when looking up kanji. Though I've only successfully managed to do this with the Da Capo series so your mileage may vary.

@necrow
Your question is too vague given that there are a total of 8 arcs for the Higurashi VN and only 1 has been fully translated (unless mangagamer released their version already).
