Electric Phantasm: Apr 7, 2011; YOSPOS

So Akudama Drive had me coming back to Dangan Ronpa. Just finished up 2 and taking a break debating on whether I should watch 3 for completions sake since I never did.

2's English dub is pretty good. Gundham is all ham and it owns and Nagito is just incredible.

I would also like to put it out there that Chapter 3 in 2 is the worst in the series while Chapter 5 is the best.

I love 2-4... the section where you change perspectives is so good and the trial is actually like hard. DR2 has a lot of sections where the perpetrator reveals themselves midway through the trial and 2-4's was fun (and I don't even like Gundham).

I also like 1-2 a lot still, it's a really upsetting death but the trial has so much going on between Byakuya being an idiot, Jack coming out, Tadokoro losing his mind at the end, and it being the second trial ever.

This is what mostly saved 2-4 for me.

Trial Spoilers: I just wish they went all the way and had Nagito present the closing arguments, the fakeout was so good, they had the music and everything

2-4 has the same problem as 2-3 where they don't bother explaining why. No one ask why did they did this and Monokuma doesn't give out any details either. It doesn't help that I don't like the motives in either chapter.

2-4 is really bad but 2-2 will forever earn my ire for 'gravel in a swimsuit', on an argument that everyone even agrees isn't even vital to the case.

I struggled so hard on this even though I knew answer already.

"Wait which statement do I shoot with which bullet to even get that answer?" :negative:

I can't imagine figuring that out blind.

I don't remember having any difficulty with that, nor with meat on the bone in 2-1.

Overall I don't remember there being any trials in the series I thought were particularly bad, as long as you ignore Hangman's Gambits? When I didn't like a chapter it was usually because of some issue with the chapter's investigation or non-case story rather than the case itself, which was usually fairly interesting even in the ones that were obvious.

2-4 spoilers I don't think it's unreasonable to take Gundham at his implied word, since we're not really given any strong arguments for any other explanation. He and Nekomaru were both willing to sacrifice the two of them to save the others, and they were both very competitive so Gundham had them fight to see who would go first. If Nekomaru had won - honestly the more likely outcome - he would have probably admitted it and skipped the class trial, but Gundham's pride wouldn't allow him to do that so he added elaborate smoke and mirrors to challenge the others. Would Gundham have allowed the other students to pick the wrong answer in the class trial? We have no way of knowing, but I'd say probably not.

My problem in 2-1 was I kept reading "on" as "in" probably brought on by trying to adjust to the new PTA mechanics and the perceived time limit in putting together the final answer

Also fair points on 2-4 everyone.
