Thank you so much for umineko Fridays. They're honestly such a blast and I wouldn't have progressed so far in umineko without them! Right now, I'm on your episode 4 finale video!

Heya - really wanna tune into your Umineko streams but I haven't played it yet - I tried Higurashi and it was really, really good but had to stop for a bit bc of how disturbing it got - should I finish it before starting Umineko?

You mentioned a few months back that you hope to do a video/video series on American Mcgees Alice games, has that opinion changed at all, or are you still hopeful that one day it'll happen?

How does it feel streaming semi regularly to regularly for about a year? Does it feel different than your vids which are recorded and edited?
It's extremely different, yeah. Streaming comes a bit less naturally to me, because I feel I'm at my most articulated and on point when I have time to consider my thoughts, BUT I do feel like I've also gotten a lot better of a grasp of streaming over time.
I have a lot of fun with it! It provides me an opportunity to both unwind and exercise my ~talents~ in a way I think is far less of a constant pressure on me. Interacting with viewers in real-time is also very fun, and cultivating a bit of a group dynamic where everybody's contributing to a discussion is very rewarding.

Hey Marcie! I still watch your Silent Hill video often and I don’t remember if I’m forgetting whether you’ve answered this or not but, are there other horror series or stories that you’re interested in? What are some of the big ones?

Not sure if you're still answering these, but I have a few questions that I just need to get out.
1. If/When you stream Higurashi, will you be using the OG sprites drawn by Ryukishi, or the PS3/Console sprites?
Do you think you'll make an Umineko cast tier list when that's done? (And maybe a Higurashi cast tier list as well?)
As someone who's first experience with Higurashi was the anime, is it..... bad that I actually liked it quite a bit, especially the original and Kai more so than... everything after? (then again, I'm currently reading the vn (recently started Watanagashi) since I found a mobile port so yay)
Are there any visual novels/anime adaptations of visual novels that you might make a video on? (stuff like Clannad, Grisaia, maybe another Higurashi or Umineko vid?)
This one's really important. If you had to save one of your favourites from the hell/trauma they experience in their respective games... would you save Rika or Ange?
(okay that was the last question, sorry for the long list of questions I had on my mind (also this was glitching on my end so if it sent multiple times, I apologize for that as well))
Probably the console visuals. I love Ryukishi's art, but it's easier to catch average viewers in my WTC death trap that way, I find.
Sure, maybe!
I don't think that's a bad thing! I quite liked the Higurashi anime in a vacuum, and still hold a soft spot for it as being what got me into the series. I just think once you do read the VN, the anime barely stacks up to it, and some of its omissions are very glaring.
Maybe Tsukihime or other Type Moon properties! I'd like to give Clannad and Kanon a whirl as well.
Tough to say! I'm not usually the type that ponders those sorts of thing too much, as even though what happens to them are horrible, their circumstances are also the narrative/thematic conceit of their respective works in a lot of ways. Probably Rika, if I had to pick, though.

Eeey whats up? was wondering if you will ever cover persona (any of the games/ anime adaptations) on the channel? and, what are your thoughts on Persona 3: Reload?
- From Ryugu/ Elster/ idk anymore

Hello! I just want to say that your Ace Attorney retrospective videos was my true introduction to the franchise and I'm really grateful for it! I got into AA around the time I was at one of my lowest points mentally and being part of the AA fandom and making new friends in this space had helped me a lot and my healing journey would've been much longer if I did not stumbled upon your videos and listen to the like white noise while I try to sleep lol. Thank you so much.

Hey Marcie! Since I don’t know how monetisation on youtube works, do you receive anything for the people that watch your live streams later? I have been catching up with Umineko so I would like to know!

If you ever feel like it, I'd love to see you do a deep dive on everything the umineko anime does wrong

Have you ever dyed your hair? If not what color would you want?

I read somewhere that "filler" is so important for characterization and the like, and I feel that's displayed the best with umineko. It takes 7 hours for the main plot to roll, but each of those hours counts! I remember jumping in on the 4 hour mark after viewing the first 30 minutes and having no idea who anyone was. Now when watching those 7 hours back to back, I not only know all the characters, but the unique family dynamics/hierarchy
Absolutely. It's good tone-setting, too. It's the reason why, despite having a marginally better adaptation than Umineko's, I'd argue the Higurashi anime is just as bad in some ways. So much of the slice of life and character building is cut, and what people don't realize about why that's so important is that if the story is going to ask you to deeply invest in these characters, enough to care about what happens to them and why, you need to be able to actually invest in them and their relationships. Flat characters do not make for compelling drama.

im not sure if youve played the latter but do you have any series recommendations of things similar in tone to umineko (+higu), aa, and zero escape? i dont know if i can explain how the vibes feel cohesive but a meta mystery with quirky characters with deep relationships and old fashioned vibe and a somewhat dark tone and a fun romance. ive been searching forever but nothing scratches the same itch. no worries if not :3

After playing/reading things like AA and Umineko, especially the former, do you often find yourself sincerely trying to think through and puzzle out mysteries in other stories?

So I've been watching your umineko readthrough and I'm loving it! I currently finished the rose scene in EP1(Vod1) and Rosa really needs to realize that children grow up at their own pace. I should know because I was a lot like Maria when I was her age, and I was ruthlessly mocked for any quirks I had, such as raptor arms or spinning around. Idk, seeing it portrayed so realistically and in the wrong feels comforting even when the scene was heartbreaking. It's like the author was like "don't worry, we understand/we see you"
