![]() ![]() ![]() Don't be reading Umineko Chiru before you've read the first half. Ultimately, each story- Higurashi, Umineko, and Ciconia- are separate and can be enjoyed as a standalone, but when you start a story, read it in order. Definitely avoid Passione's Higurashi anime (Higurashi Gou/Sotsu) until you've completed the original Higurashi Kai, but it can be skipped completely. They are watered down and some twists aren't as impactful as it could have been, but are revealed nonetheless, so it could take away the impact when you read the VNs. If you're interested in watching anime, it's your call whether to see it before you read the VNs or not. Being familiar with certain mechanics from umineko can help make ciconia easier to follow. Umineko does have extras too like Hane and Saku which again, add some interesting context, but aren't needed for the story.Ĭiconia is only on phase 1, but definitely it'll be good to have context from both Higurashi's and Umineko's stories before diving in. They're little and don't add much to Umineko's story though- you fen enjoy Umineko without it. Nothing too much would be lost, but imo Higurashi is a good warm-up before tackling Umineko- you get an idea of the authors writing, it's an easier story imo, and there's cool little things that make more sense with the context of Higurashi. You could potentially skip Higurashi before Umineko. Once you've done that, move onto Umineko and Umineko Chiru. The first four are available as part of the Question Arc on Steam. ![]() They are cute though and give an interesting sort of "what if" Umineko When They Cry is a kinetic visual novel that is also broken up into multiple chapters. The rest of Rei and the new chapters in Hou aren't really Canon and don't move the story forward. Saikoroshi-hen from Higurashi Rei is really good and could be read before Umineko too. At least get Higurashi and Higurashi Kai, before moving on to Umineko. ![]()
