Danganronpa is as subtle as a sledgehammer, which works for the crazy characters and events but makes for bad worldbuilding.

Don't forget to pepper 'hope' and 'despair' in so heavily that it basically becomes meaningless.

Carbon dioxide posted:In the localization she told everyone to call her 'Hina', part of her family name. Probably because it was really hard for the voice actors to pronounce Aoi. The English actress for Aoi pronounced her given name once and it sounded awful. I'm not sure how much of that is voice actors having trouble with the names and how much is the localizers underestimating how used the audience(especially considering DR was originally only on the Vita, the VN system for huge goddamn nerds) is to Japanese names.

Also note that Toko's genre is romance novels. She's basically famous for 50 Shades of Grey except it's not a thinly disguised fanfic in this universe. (as far as we know)

You're tired? You don't reallv look like it, Toko.

IIRC, it gets so weird that idols can be in serious career danger if there's even strong rumors of them getting a boyfriend. Japanese idol culture is nuts.

There's something hilarious in seeing the girl who spends a lot of DR1 going "I know I'm a gross disgusting pig! I bet you hate me!" interact with the Warrior of Hope who keeps being gross(although he doesn't know it) and wants you to hate him.

She's a character from Root Double, which McD has also LPed.

Like Clockwork posted:...I do not have faith in the game's ability to handle the subject matter it just presented. The game's already been...not that great at making us sympathize with these victims of child abuse. It's especially glaring with Masaru and Jataro, since you spend several hours dealing with them as annoying murderous brats, and "oh hey, here's the horrible abuse they suffered" is thrown out about 5 minutes before they die. These revelations aren't reacted to much by our protagonists before they get on with the fighting, either. It comes off as the writers doing a cheap sympathy ploy instead of them dealing with a serious issue tactfully(as tactfully as DR can do anything, anyway). I can think of a couple ways that could have been handled better(utilize Komaru as the normal person reacting with appropriate horror while Toko's too numbed by all the poo poo she's already seen to care, spend more time on the "that's horrible, but you're trying to kill us so we still have to fight back" angle, etc), but the DR writing team aren't really the people to do it.

Yeah, you'll note that McD conveniently skipped over any screenshots of actually playing the minigame.  Psycho Knight posted:That is weird. From what I've seen, the gameplay itself doesn't look bad. It looks like a pretty good game overall. Basically all of the good stuff in this game is the interactions between Komaru and Toko, and the actual plot is sloppy at best and creepy at worst(as we're seeing here).

Nagito's bullshit luck would probably spare his life anyway. (Not that Komaru and Toko have any reason to know that)

Mister Olympus posted:Seacats has a fully thought-out and developed theme and message planned from square one, the only real throughline I've been able to sift out of Daggum Ronpaul is a really strong desire to make the player uncomfortable for no other purpose than "games don't make people uncomfortable enough" In practice it spends most of its time doing what you said.

Toko and Komaru are both younger than 18. Haiji's complaint is that they're not young enough for him. Do the disgusting math.Hobgoblin2099 posted:It doesn't help that "Actually I'm an implied pedophile" is a "gag" coming after a chapter about a sexually assaulted child.

Skip. I liked Komaru's boundless enthusiasm for dunking on small children after solving their puzzles. Shame we didn't see as much of that towards the end.
