If you understood killer7 (without even having to read Hand in killer7) then Silver Case shouldn't be that far off, you've just finished chapter 1 of an ongoing investigation so I wouldn't expect you to really know whats going on that much anyway.
The only thing progressive about ryukushi from an American progressives perspective would be how he writes his women. Ryukushi just seems to like WW2, most of his stories from what I've played feature it. In Umineko the Axis is portrayed sympathetically, with an important character being an outright fascist near the end of the game.
Considering the plot had human experimentation, bringing up one of the most infamous cases of it isn't very lefty.
I prefer the original, but I know that's a minority opinion.
Might get to it eventually. Right now I'm just having fun cruising through the remake tho. It's very pretty, I'll say that much.
Will probably take at least a look, but I'm not actually that much into horror. Moege can be pretty fun depending on my mood though. I did try out Nikubami Honegishimi (neat manga) and it felt a bit similar to Spirit Hunter, so might just be Mystery + Horror, or just episodic mystery stuff. I definitely appreciate the recommendations I got. Haven't gotten too far in Midnight Collection, but it is pretty interesting so far.
Route changes are done depending on whether you send the d-mail at that moment or not. Most likely you thought it was just normal dialogue and clicked through it. That leads means making the choice of not sending the d-mail. The Suzuha choice is the first of these instances.
First cover image. It's literally just legally distinct bocchi. Same hair colors and everything.
I remember not knowing about it and getting Suzuha bad end, which to be fair is the only really bad ending worthy of watching besides the other main girls.

Ryu's story telling is influenced a lot by Japan's murky transition to democracy and its history of military coups. A lot of the references you see in his work is just allusions to that. Gundam is kinda like that too, and in fact there is an obvious gundam reference in Watanagashi, if I recall, after they play zombie tag. You kinda get where he's coming from with his political takes if you're aware of Gundam's themes.
I can't edit my post, hence I have to double post, but Frederica, Barbarossa, the looping happening on a Sunday of the third week of June, et cetera.
It's impossible to write anything profound about 1980s Japan without referencing WW2. That was the last era where the wartime generation held sway and it was also the decade when Hirohito died. Many of the adult characters in Higurashi and Umineko grew up in the aftermath of the war and would have experienced American occupation firsthand. The callbacks to WW2 aren't just him being really into WW2, but a deliberate attempt to ground his stories in the sociopolitical zeitgeist of the time they're set in.
I mean, yeah. The antagonists of Higurashi are quite literally the descendants of those people. The Tokyo faction is sympathetic to Imperial Japan, and laments that they lost the war. Kinzo and Beatrice were just tangibly to the Axis. Kinzo did not join the war to defend his country, but to get away from his family. Beatrice, being related to Social Republic by family, didn't really have a choice in the matter and doesn't care much for the political stuff. Not even Takano cared for much for it. 07 writes tends to write character as victims of their circumstances.
lol I was gonna reference the zengakuren in my post but I felt like it was already a little too autistic so I shied away. I tip my hat to you, fellow modern Japanese history enjoyer.
This level of knowledge, autism is only possible through the great efforts of one Erika Furudo.
I had assumed Cartagra was very important to Kara no Shoujo and had put off reading the full series until the remaster for it got translated.
Ive finished the Arcuied route of the Tsuckihime remake. Absoulte kino, got me tearing up. Sucks she couldn't stay. Fuck Roa. Too good man. Now im onto Ciel.
