Super High School Level Movie Trivia Buff :allears:

Instead of B-movies, it's anime movies.

"Zach, I've had a certain film on my mind. An adventure movie from 1979 and the directorial debut of a bona fide legend. You know, a dashing thief, a beautiful princess, a corrupt duke, and a royal secret. That's right, it's Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro, starring none other than Lupin III."

It's so out there goofy that I'm enjoying it, though one thing had me wondering. Went back and read the first update (as I linked my artistic friend from the first thread) and doesn't it sound like one of those uh, what's it called... It takes place in the middle of the story, before flashing back to the start? Nagito mentions strange things going on and is under the sun so already pretty curious

It is an interesting question. Presumably they'd succeed the same way normal Japanese kids succeed from going through the right schools without any special SHSL celebrity title. It would normally be all about the connections, but would this work against you in Hope's Peak? People would expect you to already be known as an expert in something from being a Hope's Peak student, so if you're not, then... what happens?

A question regarding Dangan Rompa Zero: is the reader supposed to know the plot to Dangan Rompa before reading the novel, or is it supposed to stand on its own? Or it doesn't make any difference either way?

Seeing as the plot to the game is spoiled in the very beginning, yes, I'm assuming you're supposed to know.

This was pretty much the version Fedule was pushing for (though he came up with "cadaver" as well). My first draft used "carcasses".

The original gag wasn't even about death, though -- Monobear guesses Monomi likes to eat ningen - "humans" instead of ninjin - "carrots".

If only rabbits were known for eating soybeans, I could have made a Soylent Green joke.

Man, I guess it's true that video games desensitize you to violence when Chiaki's reaction to walking in on our corpse party was "welp, you guys better have some people keeping watch in case someone tampers with the evidence". With every new update I feel more like she's going to be the ace detective of this game. If so, she'll be an interesting departure from Kirigiri, who was only stoic about murders and more emotive in general.

She's probably played a lot of adventure games, so she's good at investigating things. A total Ace Attorney.
