I picked up DR2 on Steam a few days ago, and just finished the first trial. For the most part I think I like this cast of characters better than the first game. I'm gonna be pretty bummed when most of them probably get killed, except maybe that awful dancer girl. Also Nagito seems like a really hosed up dude, but I'm curious where his character arc is going since he seems like some kind of bizarro-Makoto.

Oh it turns out they actually did it, they recasted Monokuma from Nobuyo Oyama to Tarako Isono Have the video announcement from Monokuma himself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v7LtdqUooQ Meowywitch fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Apr 20, 2016 |

I like that they at least got another voice from a well-known (in japan) and ludicrously long-running children's tv show, because nothing else will do for Monokuma really. (In this case its Chibi Maruko-chan) A noble effort, but it's just not the same! But that really goes to show how utterly amazing Oyama was. I know it was inevitable with her dementia, but...but...  Oyama Nobuyo also had this to say: quote:Hello, everyone. This is Nobuyo Oyama. 'Monokuma is very cute and a good boy, so take care of him.'

What important things happen in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls?

I am honestly struggling to remember anything important. It kinda sets up DR2 a little? Character development for Toko? Maybe setting up the bad guy for the DR3 anime? I honestly have no idea. I really disliked the game overall and couldn't wait for it to be over. Maybe that's why I don't remember the details.

If you are talking about things that might be important in the new anime we still don't know but important things that I think might come up (DR: AE ending spoilers here) first is that in the ending of the game it's revealed that Kamukura has two AI Junkos, we know one was used in DR2 so one is still out there and since this anime has a new killing game with Monokuma that might be involved. Another thing is that at the end of the game Nagito decides to save Monaca(the villain of the game) and decides to make her the second Junko, one even better than the original, so that may also come up in the anime One small thing is also the fact that Togami and Toko aren't in the anime and AE sorta explains that in the fact that Toko is with Neagi's sister in Towa City and Togami went to get then probably since he said he would do that at the end of AE when he dealt with the whole Ultimate Despair thing, something that he did in the ending of DR2

Thank you. I am getting a little more hyped for the anime, mostly to see the Despair side stuff since I really like that set of characters, but based on the plot hooks you outlined here and what I know from the games it still seems fairly unnecessary! So glad the third game isn't going to be about this plot arc anymore.

Can we talk about the anime here or is it not related? I could make a anime thread but a lot of is based knowing the 2 DR games prior and newcomers would be lost.

There's a thread about the show over in ADTRW but I imagine no one would have problems with anime chat in here since it's related. My guess would be to use spoiler bars since this is still the general thread and the show has just begun.

I finished DR2 last night (well, morning), and hoo boy it sure was a trip. Most emotional and anime A button mashing prompt ever. I definitely liked the nostalgia drive. I almost hoped Junko's AI/Junko would've been redeemed by Hajime's ridiculous anime powers, but it wouldn't have fit at all, I guess. I got most kicks out of realizing way before the cast how devilish Nagito's plan was - forcing people to murder him and making the case impossible to solve - latter part was actually proved false though - And the slow, impending realization that our cast were the Despair Remnants. The first time I started to entertain it was in the teacher's room with the subjects on the blackboard and stuff. I think the game did some great things in the very last trial utilizing game mechanics to deliver a story and prompt an emotional response from the player. It also kinda scares me how I partially agree with Nagito's plan after the fact, and understand his post Death room insanity. Looking from a certain point of view, he actually kind of died as a hero. I guess Makoto saying he understands why Nagito made the decision he did sums up my feelings on that. Edit 2: I entertained the idea that Hajime was able to read minds due to some white noise entries being way too explicit. I guess it was a mechanic in the first game too, so that would not have made sense, I guess? I'm beginning to wonder if there were any easter eggs or something that makes more sense in the white noise after having played through the game once. (Like supressed thoughts from Izuru?) I almost feel like purchasing DR1 on steam too, as sadly I do not have access to the game anymore. Just to jog my memory of the game and potentially play with both VA's. I'll definitely need to finish DR2 with English VA with harder difficulty settings. Are the special new game things worth doing? I guess they're just there for you to be able to see the events? I need to also check how chapter selection actually works with regards to gifts. I wish the game's controls were a bit more fine tuned - wish the targeting reticle was more sensitive/had a faster maximum travel speed when playing on a gamepad - Not to mention turning. I even tried JoyToKey to make my left stick emulate a mouse but the game captures the xinput straight from the source, making it impossible to tinker with. Now I get to marathon DR3 episodes and hope they're not awful... edit: I've been meaning to ask for ages, but how come the stage plays has a majority of women as its audience? DR fandom in Japan or how stage play adaptations attract women in much larger troves? Dessel fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Aug 11, 2016 |

Dessel posted:Now I get to marathon DR3 episodes and hope they're not awful... Make sure to at least read a synopsis of the side-story game and the novel DR/Zero - both are canon and DR3 assumes knowledge of their plot. Once you do, make sure you watch the DR3 episodes in the intended order - every Future-side episode followed by the corresponding Despair-side episode. It's written to be watched that way. As far as I can tell from casual observation, DR fandom in Japan is about 50/50 male-female (perhaps a little in favor of female fans). Anime stage shows, however, are completely marketed to a female audience by focusing on casting popular male idols. The DR stage shows were actually an exception for having about a 30-40 percent male audience when I saw them - the most recent stage show I attended was an Ace Attorney Investigations one, where it was more like 95% women, about half of which came to see the star and didn't really know the games.

alcharagia posted:Ugh but DR0 is garbage though I enjoyed it, but Kodaka's prose style is one that's very difficult to do justice to in English. You may like or hate the plot (I kind of like it, myself), but I mostly had fun just reading the prose, and that's difficult if you can't read the original. Edit: DR0 is a useful abbreviation, but I will always keep writing the name as DR/Zero - that's how it's spelled on the cover, and the slash almost certainly means "divided by".

On the other hand, some more information has come out (at work so I don't have a link) that sounds promising. Unlike Naegi (and to a somewhat lesser extent, unlike Hinata), Kaede has a very distinct, 'bossy' personality, and generally takes charge of things. Also, there's now the option of lying during a class trial to get others to go along with you, and a mechanic for everyone splitting along two sides of an argument in a scrum. Really hoping that Kaede doesn't take poo poo from the oddballs she's been saddled with as she drags them across the finish line. "YOU GOT THAT WRONG, YOU MORON" Also all the music notes on her clothes make me think that she has an actual talent, which is fun.

New Danganronpa V3 releases on 1/12/2017 in Japan. No word on overseas release yet. Limited edition over there comes with a number of things, most interesting of which is "an original anime called Super Danganronpa 2.5: Nagito Komaeda and the World Destroyer." Oh god I want to see more Nagito shenanigans.

Double post, but we have a translation from somewhere of the names and abilities of the cast. Kaede is Ultimate Pianist, which fits her musical motifs. Weirdly, we have another Ultimate Detective? Also, another Ultimate ???. Ultimate Robot named Kiibo. Kiibo <->Kibou. There's no way that's not gonna be relevant, or literally robo-Makoto.

Found another article on Danganronpa V3, but this one has a list of the characters and their talents. http://gematsu.com/2016/09/new-danganronpa-v3-launches-january-12-japan Cast list below in spoilers in case you want to be surprised: Korekiyo Shinguuji Ultimate Folklorist (Masked, bandaged guy) Angie Yonaga Ultimate Art Club (Girl in swimwear) Zanbi Toujo Ultimate Maid (Girl in maid costume) Koyoshi Ouma Ultimate President (Guy in white suit and checkered scarf) Tsumugi Shiragane Ultimate Cosplayer (Glasses girl) Kiibo Ultimate Robot (Robo-Naegi from the trailer) Tenshi Chabashira Ultimate Aikido Practitioner (Girl with pinwheel ribbon) Kaede Akamatsu Ultimate Pianist (Protagonist) Hiroto Hyakuta Ultimate Astronaut (Goateed guy from the trailer) Maki Harukawa Ultimate Nursery Teacher (Pigtailed girl in red from the trailer) Shuuichi Saihara Ultimate Detective (Guy with black cap and uniform) Ryouma Hoshi Ultimate Tennis Player (Midget mime in leather jacket) Rantaro Amakai Ultimate ??? (Average-looking blond guy) Himitsuko Yumeno Ultimate Magician (Girl with witch hat) Gonta Gokuhara Ultimate Entomologist (Big barefoot dude in suit) Mito Irima Ultimate Inventor (Girl in pink with goggles) Initial impressions: It looks like they're going all in on the idea of a reboot, which is just as well given how bloated the backstory has become. If any of the new characters are related to the old cast, it will probably be treated as a big twist. I'm betting that Saihara either turns out to be this game's Nagito, or he dies early. The repeat of one of the big "protagonist" talents on this guy makes me suspicious after the stunt they pulled with Nagito, and it's unlikely he's going to play the same role as Kyoko. An antagonist version of the "detective" talent has potential to be interesting, particularly if this is indeed a prison/reform school. It's also surprising that they gave Kaede a relatively normal talent, while putting traditional protagonist talents like Detective and ??? on other characters. I'm hoping this doesn't mean she's a decoy protagonist, and she's going to get killed first.

I'm hoping this doesn't mean she's a decoy protagonist, and she's going to get killed first. I actually think Pianist is a good fit for a protagonist because it's so mundane, since it would give her a reason to be in the setting while still being a fairly normal girl. Naegi's luck, as it was presented in the first game, worked pretty much the same way (that later works presented luck as a real and powerful thing that Naegi actually has is irrelevant to DR1). Protagonists have to be a little bland both to act as an audience surrogate and so that the more colorful characters can bounce off of them better. Of course, that's no reason they can't kill her off, but I hope not, because I'm liking her too.

I'm thinking the final survivors will be Art Club, Cosplayer, Pianist, Astronaut, Nursery, ???. More or less because they look the most like ordinary teenagers, which DR 1 and DR2 each pared the cast down to in the end.
