Hiya! Big fan of the original translated LP and decided to make an account once I saw you were translating this one. Can't wait to see how this goes  The magical girl bunny creature thing kind of scares me more than Monobear from the last game for some reason... And was that a translation of the novel too? I am even more excited for this! And it's also got someone tweaking the english? I had no issues with the original but it's definitely going to just get better if someone is helping you.

A freaking deserted island. What the gently caress!? At least with the island once they start dying off it won't be "Stab in the gut, club on the head, club on the head, club on the head, Club on the head twice and the poisoned, stab in the gut." I'm a bit upset the deaths weren't that creative in the last game, although the cover up and the circumstances for the deaths were a lot more interesting to me. Let's see what sort of things people can do this time.

I missed the timeframe of doing it in the last one, and saying 'what the gently caress' and 'gently caress!' is just silly. And on a note of the characters: I love all the designs, and I'm going to /try/ not to get attached to anyone so I don't get saddened like with Chihiro and chihirobo last game.

I'm waiting until I like a character to see if I want to shell out 5 bucks for an avatar. Right now, it's either 'get one of the Chihiro avatars from the last thread' which'll take forever to find, or get one of the girl with the demon horns. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Joenen posted:What's really interesting though is the stark contrast between them though. You know, going off of that, the Hope's Peak being a dungeon was unintentional. Originally it was supposed to be a safe haven for the people, meant to keep them in there willingly. A Place of Hope that became a place of Despair. This seems very much the same, a place of Hope- beauty joy and such- that might end up becoming a place of Despair for some reason or another. For some reason, I want it to stay a place of hope for at least an update more, if only to delay the inevitable. Edit: To add a bit more substance, I have to say I'm enjoying the simultaneous Zero and Two readings. It's interesting to see a novel that probably won't be brought into America, especially with how well Orenronen translated the original work. Also, Orenronen, if it isn't too much work, could you tell us the Kanji used for the characters? I like knowing them since writers pick Kanji for specific reasons.

Like Fedule noticed, they're definately trying to make us think Nagito is Naegi, and giving us all the evidence to point it that way. 1.) voice actor 2.) name 3.) SHSL skill 4.) appearence 5.) Way of arriving to the school. However there is some evidence that goes against it 1.) Personality 2.) Probably the way of speaking in japanese 3.) Height 4.) Birthday My answer? This is simply a Red Herring type thing and the game developers are playing with us. " Hey, wait, is that-" Fredule might've noticed something small in either the image or the japanese that they know. probably the first. I like that, because it's interesting to see someone else make a note of things as they go. Orenronen has already played through this game, probably, and isn't going to have the same ZOMG that Fredule will have. I like Blind LPs like that. Hinata's an A Blood Type and Nagito's an O... O are Intuitive, doubtful, and unpredictable according to Japan and A shows an obsession with detail, Patience, and Reason. Sounds like a good dynamic.

Before an bicker starts- Battle royale and Hunger games are greatly different. And that's the end of that But yeah, it is a popular enough concept for a group of kids to be brought together just to murder one another. I've seen it happen in a few manga-- Judge and Real PG are a couple examples.

Adelheid posted:pronounce "important" such that the "por" would carry the same, or indeed a similar vowel sound as in "paw." From my standpoint, I sometimes do that. It kind of comes with a 'boston' accent. The accent makes 'ar' and 'or' sounds more like 'Ah' or 'aw' when your in a rush. At least from me. I'm a little bit annoyed at her way of speech, but in a 'this is way to annoyingly cutesy for me shut up' way.'

My thought's on Usami: Keep the second way of her speech thing, putting on the cutesy childish tone. The first one was sometimes nigh illegible and the one where she speaks like a kindergarten teacher loses the 'childish' way of her Dechuu~ from the original work.

All right, I'm going to do the two we've been introduced to. Gundam: Appearence and his voice imply more of a Super High School Level Badass, his voice patterns seem straight out of a big Shonen anime, and I'm surprised to hell about the animals. It's a pleasent surprise, especially when you consider that this proves that the Dangan Ronpa cast are trying to go against expectations.  Souda: I expected a "Super High School Level Grafiti Artist" If anything from this guy, if only because he looks kind of scary. A mechanic, though, is interesting enough to consider. If there's any issues with the machinery, he can easily fix it, especially if they find the engiens. Edit: Removed these and I'll resay this later, once we're introduced. I'm sorry about that. I'm not on the same "Gundam is awesome" side as most people, mostly because I'm not a big fan of his hammy Over-the-top Shonenness, but the moment he was revealed to be an animal breeder (OR whatever it was in japanese) I went 'daw' and he's right above depressing as heck Hinata for my best character Gundam>Hinata>Naegi>Monami>Souda, for the characters we actually kind of know, although none of them are really 'hated'.

Sonia's rather poor English is a good trait for a foreign character- much better than 'oh hey, I'm from Eagleland and can speak perfect Archaic japanese!- and I can't wait to see how Fedule and Orenren had translated it from the original. Did she use the wrong combination of Kanji for each word? Or was everything in Katakana and she added some in the wrong place? Translation notes are my favorite thing about this lp so far, because it shows some of the intricacies that they tried to account for. And writing this post (It was longer and restated things already talked about), SHSL princess is actually a rather good skill. If you think about it, a princess would need to have strong and good social skills, even if she comes across as more naive than Princess Peach, she still would need to be able to play the social game before being kidnapped by Bow- I mean Usami. Teruteru, on the other hand, is as creepy as those people you see on 'to catch a predator'. Actually, he might as well be of them. Talking about his dick, even if it involved poison, with a someone childlike and all, and even then talking about another girl's underwear, it's like they're trying to get us pissed off at him. There's three more characters... Togami, the girl wearing the japanese outfit and the brunette with bedhead. I wonder what the last two have. SHSL Tea Ceremony host and SHSL donut eater?

A lot of times, the Kanji used in names has some significance, although with how much Dangan Ronpa throws away expectations, I could be wrong in its relevance here. Then again in the first one, some names had big significance. Makoto means Truth, for example, and Kirigiri had the kanji for Fog and Cutter, cutting through the fog in the trials so Makoto can find the truth. It's sort of like naming a strong character in an American story "Kratos", which literally means strength, or naming a beautiful baby girl "Ruby" or "Pearl". It gives the characters personality and an identity before you meet them, even if it's a total subversion, like these names probably are. Right now, I don't know what the Kanji in everyone's names mean and I'm afraid of checking for spoilers. If it isn't too much trouble, orenronen, could you make a note of what the Kanji in the names are in one of your next translation updates?

Happy new year everyone. My New Year's Resolution? Try to follow this all the way. Seriously, Orenren and Fedule- I probably have said this before but thank you guys so much for this! Dangan Ronpa is just the type of game I like, and I really hate it whenever they don't get any sort of english release, so I have to wait for subs or something. (Before I talk about something relevant- I loved how the last game had ironic deaths for all of the culprits.) I have to say, Togami really can't be the original Togami. My evidence? Togami from the first one actually went a while without food or leaving the library, it seemed. Another is just simply the impossibility for the two Togamis to be possible- although the missing Age does play a part, how often is it that someone, especially a highschooler, has the same height for more than a year or so? Unless Togami went through the Subway diet, or started packing on he pounds like... someone who gains a lot of weight quickly, I sincerely doubt that Togami can be the same in both games. The same kind of goes for Nagito and Naegi- The personalities are different, if the slightly more Sarcastic remarks of Nagito is any indication, the height different is quite massive, and the way they stand (Naegi was very subdued in his poses, while Nagito has a bit of a dramatic flair) aren't really similar. Even the way they talk-- Nagito is a lot more active of a conversationalist than Naegi was, even going so far as to actually introduce himself. I would talk about Aoi and Akane, but my only comment about them is that Akane is very abrasive when Aoi was much more friendly. Other than that, there isn't really enough knowledge about Akane for me to say anything. HangedManArcana fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Jan 1, 2013 |

Question at the end: Is Fedule's comments now Monomi? (Checked the first one and it has.) Also Fedule- I like your new avatar. I really can't believe Monobear brought out freaking Power Ranger zords to defend himself this time  I can't wait for punishments this time around! Wait, I mean to analyze, not to see characters die. I've actually gone back and looked at the ones for game one and noticed that they're all symbolic for the culprit. I really want to try and analyze this games, when it comes around to it, and I'm really curious to see what new things have been brought to the table gameplay wise, and also where the school trials will be held.

I personally don't want it, but I kind of deserve it for actually getting banned from how lovely my posts were. I'm happy that's changed. And on the topic of the Voltron/Super Sentai zord things, I really want to see just how those things will be incorperated. After all, other than Monobear's defenders, why would he need five of them? Wait, there're five islands, so maybe one of them will defend monobear while the others defend the gates?

Something about Togami is rubbing me the wrong way. I don't know what it is-maybe it's the small subtle difference between his more selfish actions and game one, and his slightly more selfless mannerisms now, but I get the feeling it's just an act... I think he's probably going to be the one to kill someone, probably later in the game though. Don't have much base on that, but it's a hunch. But for murder 1... I get the feeling that miss Princess Sonia might be the victim of this. Same feel as Maizono and Probably just me looking into expectations, which really should stop. As for her killer- I don't know at all. The game needs to run a little more before I can make a full out guess, like I could kind of do last game.

I think her SHSL skill is Chess Player. Her ability to see what the other's intended moves were, her 'Mind heavy' SHSL skill, the "Chessmate" quote... There are a lot of things I might be missing, but Chess Player seems to be the one skill that makes sense.

And those articles are really good! I love the japanese subculture analysis and how in depth it is. Now if only there was one for those girls with tan skin and bright blond hair. I can't google it because I don't know the term. Back to Junko! Simply put, she is surprisingly... creepier here. It might be the fact that she seemed to be stable, personality wise, in a 'Super High School Level Despair' mode.

Yeah, it's sort of like when someone yells at the screen in a horror movie "You idiot! Don't open the door!" Or stuff like that. It's part of the immersion of the game. As an added bonus, that is really good logic to Kuzuryu's character. Nice going cornwind- I really like your analysis of why he'd never actually kill. I really don't think he'd be able to graduate for that reason. He doesn't have any minions to send to kill, and even if he did, the one who actually kills would be the one who graduates in that circumstance.

Ok, listening to the voice clip from the scene with the lights out and trying to place voices to lines. After all, we don't know so obviously, by goon logic, we must try and find clues in minor details. On a more serious note, this actually does seem like it'd be important since it's a bit of a mystery. We probably don't need to actually identify who said what there, but it might be good to think about. Power's Out: One of the girls... Sonia? The hell: Souda? I think he's the only one who'd say 'the hell?' Too Dark: Nagito. No doubt about it. Calm down: Um... Photographer girl? Waaah: Traditional Dancer. Oy: Uh... I think this was actually Togami? a bit soft... Stop: Togami again? Ow: Just a grunt. Can't really tell who this is. Lights on: Gymnast. Not in the kitchen: Teruteru. Breaker: Photographer again I think. Wait: Gundam? I'm not absolutely certain though. It's hard to identify who's who from their voices since I haven't heard their voice tracks in a while. I'm partly going by inflection like Teruteru's stutter.

Making a post of all the evidence bullets is fine, right? I kind of want to have it for the sake of reference. Partly because I thought the Earring was already an evidence bullet.
