I say we cover our bunny in whatever gifts we can afford that won't prevent us from covering out less digital friends in the best gifts.

But, it's a video game, so they're all equally digital?

If starving to death didn't raise the critter's skull-meter, there must be some other way to do it. I want to fill up all the little icons; if it's easier to fill up the heart-shaped icons first, then so be it.

Why do I have this funny feeling that Nanami is bad at dating sims?

Maybe but with her whole "life is a game" thing, I think she is using her "some games i'm not good at" statement to mean something in real life that she is genuinely not good at. Which probably is social interaction or dating or something.

But anime has taught me that being good at dating sims makes you a God of Romance in real life too, so I guess we agree on this :v:

I vote to pamper the bunny. Can't be mean to an animal in a game about anime high schoolers murdering one another. That would just be crossing a line.

A game that isn't fun isn't really a game, you see. Besides, a game you get nothing out of whether you win or lose is meaningless.

Not all games have happy endings, but you should always be left with something meaningful after you beat a game.

Also, I kinda like that Nanami's getting a little bit meta here. It just seems like a pretty rad idea of what to expect out of a game, and what the dev team were probably hoping to achieve themselves with Dangan Ronpa; entertainment, a sense of accomplishment, something meaningful. Nanami's a much more interesting character than I expected her to be.

Not only did Gundam lecture us on proper care of animals, Nanami was just talking about how great it is to do your best at games, and hey, little tamagotchi things are totally a game. This is clearly a sign. We must go all out for the sake of our two wise buddies. Spoil the rabbit. Spoil her rotten!

I tried some searching and I didn't find any mention of this.

Junko Enoshima's title is "Super High-School Level GYARU" in the original version, I think, with gyaru as in kogyaru etc. indicating fashion. But what if it's a pun? What if it's interpreted as "Super High-School Level Girl", with the implication that she's good at everything?

It would explain the weirdness in DR0 and her attitude. She's bored of everything because there is literally no challenge for her. She's Despair inducing because she makes it so that nobody else should bother with anything.

I guess I'm really posting this as a question to oren and the other Japanese speakers to ask if this is the kind of pun the author (or an author) would make?

Welp the paywall went up immediately after I got to Togami's murder so that kind of forced the issue of whether to buy an account or not :v:

If there's anyone here who's imported this, the PSP is region-free isn't it? So if I were to import this game and play it on my US PSP it would all work fine? I'm really interested getting this game for myself and I can understand and read Japanese fairly well, but my main problem is I have a pretty minimal knowledge of kanji so I'm afraid that if I import it I'll have trouble with understanding everything given most of it isn't voiced. Would it be possible to play through the game and get the general gist of the story even if I can't read all the kanji or would the text-heavy nature of it make that impossible?

I think you're reading into it a lot. Gyaru translates to "Gal" and is a fashion culture in Japan (which you seem to know about). I don't think its intended to be much more than that, besides perhaps being part of that social commentary I think Oren said Spike was doing.

I'd like to throw in a vote for Spoiling the hamster somewhat - that way, at least one thing on the island won't want to murder us, unless it turns out our virtual pet thing was Chihiro's AI and was secretly the mole all along or something equally silly.

This was my guess too, either dating sims or co-op games that require you to work with another actual person to succeed. Maybe the character arc ends with us getting to play some Jolly Cooperation with Nanami?

If you can relate something back to the term "fandom" in any way, shape, or form, there's a good chance it isn't kosher to talk about. This applies to all media, not just Dangan Ronpa.

This is pretty awesome. If I may offer a critique however, I think the eyes should be farther apart, and maybe an eensy bit larger. My brain wants to make the shirt as a whole into Monobear's head, so it wants the eyes to be proportionately place on the "head" (the black and white ackground.) It's still really great, though! I love the tie-dye style execution. HEH. Execution.

On a related note (because one of the things I got was a t-shirt), I've just gotten back from Japan and got a decent amount of DanganRonpa merch. :neckbeard: I'll post them when I get a chance to upload them from my camera, and if/when I get oren's approval that there's definitely no spoilers in there.

Also please pamper dat pet. We have to make up for killing it once already. :ohdear:

Kay Kessler posted:

I honestly don't understand why anyone would waste one of their votes for a character who is obviously not gonna be available. What, did you think you and Nagito could hang out while he's bound and gagged? Remember, a minimum of 2 characters die each chapter. What if Nidai dies next? Or Koizumi? They'd die without a single free time event because a bunch of people "wanted to see what happened" if you tried to talk to an incapacitated guy.

What, has the idea of a captive audience never interested you even once, Kay? :rimshot:

As for the '2 characters per chapter dying', remember that we'll still get to see all the free time events eventually- oren did say there was an easier way to do it, so we're not really hurting our chance to learn about all the characters by indulging our whims.
