I don't think the characters look alike???
Well, the three hundred and one Beatrices, but well, Bice and then her daughter looked just like her. Then Beatrice the witch (Beato) is purposefully identical to Beatrice Ushiromiya (she based her appearance on her, plus……they're technically related). Beato died and was 'resurrected' as Chick!Beato, who met Beato the Elder (they're technically the same person), who is the ghost of the witch. Kind of. Yeah.
Other characters that look alike……Kinzo and Battler look alike (especially younger!Kinzo and amnesic!Battler), but they're grandfather and grandson and Ryukishi made them even more similar to draw the similarities to throw it in your face that they're so very extremely similar (and then in EP5, Battler literally says 'I am Grandfather' ahahajkd).
Most of the characters are all part of the same family so.
Some of the witches and demons are based off of other characters in the game (Virgilia is based off of Kumasawa, Ronove off of Genji, let's not mention Bernkastel = Rika, Lambdadelta = Takano/Satoko, Okonogi = Okonogi, etc from Higurashi).
Kanon and Shannon are siblings(ish).
Several characters are actually the same person.
SO IT ALL MAKES SENSE FROM INSIDE THE STORY??

This will probably make complete sense once I read Umineko.
But even in Higurashi there's Rika and Frederika and they just LOOK SO ALIKE.
although drawing Frederika being all tired from trying to write a good start-of-volume quote all night is really fun.
But when I read Umineko I can laugh at my silly 'everyone looks alike' generalization HAHAHAHAHA.
(Which I am not doing until after school completely ends for the year.
And until I finish Higurashi because READING A SEQUEL BEFORE I FINISH THE FIRST SERIES WOW WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA.)

Bernkastel is basically Frederica in lolita dress with a cat tail

from my stalking your liveblogs, i would really recommend you do not read the manga
if you think higurashi is gory, umineko was censored on tv
one time, the side of jessica's head was completely torn off
and there are about 6-16 graphic murders in every arc
in full glorious detail
i'm not really sure how easy it is to find the novels
i read EP5 on youtube over a year ago and i don't think they still have it up there

cod i need to catch up on the new umineko manga releases

It GETS WORSE?
Worse than PEOPLE'S BRAINS BEING CUT OPEN WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE?????
Thank you for the warning.

I always found it odd that I feel sickened by gore, because we all have bodies and blood and guts and stuff /in/ us. It's nothing new.

that's okay, I have panic attacks and hallucinations when encountered with pooling blood. but only in person. watching sherlock should have triggered me to spasms, but lol
