@sly-blu3 replied to your post: i got into umi cuz i was too into kingdom hearts lol

Explain

ok so really it’s basically just a case of my anxiety was making me feel bad (nothing new). i’m always saying how i essentially discovered umineko because of legend of zelda (loz > higurashi > umineko), but i once mentioned in a post explaining that whole thing how there was basically “something involving kingdom hearts as well but didn’t feel like going into detail about it”. so, when i first discovered umi, i only watched the anime and wasn’t really into it (go figure). skip ahead a couple/few years, it’s the summer before i start my junior year in high school. i get really into kingdom hearts. like, all of the games because i hadn’t really played them THAT much as a kid cause i didn’t have proper systems and always had to borrow them from friends. I finally have a ps2. Get Re: Chain of Memories cause I haven’t played that one yet and want to know more of the story. Finally own my own copy of one of the games, so I can play it whenever I want with no time limit of having to inevitably give it back to someone because it’s mine. I really like it. I find the card system fun in the boss fights cause you have to actually strategize in them. I beat the game. I replay it. I beat it. Replay it. Start doing research on the series. Someone lets me borrow 1 & 2 so i’m able to play them again. I keep talking about it to all my friends and family. My friends enjoy kh too so they discuss it with me and we all have a good time. Time goes on. The school year has started. I’m still replaying Re:CoM. Not even the whole thing, mostly just Sora’s side. I want to talk about it more with everyone. I get the feeling they’re starting to get annoyed with me because i’m still talking all about kingdom hearts. (I don’t think they really were, but as i said in the beginning, this is a story about how anxiety is a bitch). One day I’m doing homework and looking up music to listen to. I go to a Kingdom Hearts ost. I grow frustrated with myself. I need to break my obsession. I think of other music I could listen to. I remember One Winged Bird because I really liked it from the anime. I type it in, play it, and just make a decision right then and there to plan to give the VN a chance because I remember seeing comments about how the VN is so much better than the anime. And so I find it online, download it, and enter my new and current lifestyle.

And that is the story of how I got into umi because I was too into Kingdom Hearts. Joke’s on everyone else tho because now i won’t shut up about umineko. I don’t care anymore though because if I love something, i love it and won’t trick myself into feeling bad about it and that, kids, is character development.
