Right now, the only confirmed item to be included on the LE will be an artbook.

If Crunchyroll is right about this, that is roughly $130 for the complete series. Well at least I can get it for Christmas.

No one actually charges MSRP, etc.

Getting tired of repeating myself on this one across various forums.

I am so happy it isn't being called just When They Cry and the actual title is gonna be the main point. I'm assuming you guys are using Umineko since just having Seagulls plastered on the front probably won't earn as many sales.

Should totally make this the front cover !

I agree, the price is ridiculous. I'm hoping that because it's around Christmas, Rightstuf or Amazon will have some nice deals on them.

Oh may, so they're bring out the anime over here...? Interesting. Though, Once I think about it, the anime wasn't too interesting to me, and it makes me question purchasing it...

And as much as I want to be optimistic, don't buy the anime thinking that NISA will localize the VN. Toradora comes to mind everytime I considered that to be a possibility.

On a side note, was Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (VN) ever localized? I was considering doing a thread to request that one (PS2 version).

I don't know if it was, but if it wasn't I wouldn't recommend making a request topic for a PS2 visual novel game. The chances of that are slimmer than the PS2 Slim.

No.

But it is on PC.

And on ios (not sure about android. They haven't brought the whole thing there yet though.

As for this, I enjoyed the anime, but I don't know if I want it that badly. I will probably pick up the manga though.

The PC version was localized by MangaGamer but the Translation is full of grammar errors that can be overlooked unless your a grammar nazi. I am currently working with someone who is completely patching the PC version so it is like the PS2 version and I am english patching it since it is in French.

Well I don't really see the reason why they would pick up Umineko then? From what I've heard the sales in Japan were horrible. Why would they bring to America if the stereotypical American, would rather watch something with explosions compared to a mystery? Again, I've heard that Toradora sold decently in Japan, so it makes sense to bring it here. It also deals with romance, something that has a large fan base. The only other reason I could see them bringing it here, is because Yenpress is bringing over the Manga, and they jumped on the bandwagon. If not, I don't really see any other reason they would bring it here, besides to see if the VN will sell if they bring it.

Just because they pick up the anime doesn't technically mean they're going to bring over the game, despite if it sells well or not.

Also, why are you bring up stereotypes? You shouldn't do that~ Especially since NISA has been known to bring over things that wouldn't appease to a huge crowd, and rather a small fanbase.
