my body is fucking ready
-
[15:14:34] <Polaris> well the anime stays true to the game
[15:14:44] <Polaris> almost bizarrely so
[15:14:56] <Astarotte_Dormvar> how boring
-
i havent actually played the games so fuck yes
-
I'm just waiting to see how
the investigation and trial mechanics
are dealt with.
-
I dunno what is scarier, the fact my favorite cosplayers are already cosplaying this LONG before the show aired, or that it is in the same season as Free! AKA We Homo and We are Ok with Swimming anime
-
My sister is pretty crazy about this series, and is cosplaying a character today at a con. I'm sure she'll be in the thread after it ends.
-
I'm not sure I want to bother watching if it's exactly the same as the game, but I guess we'll find out next episode. I doubt it's any different though, it's pretty hard to write good murder cases.
Not a bad adaptation, I just think I won't enjoy it if I'm already spoiled on the whole thing.
-
I watched it this morning, and I'm pretty new to all of this. I don't care much for LPs, so I've only read the intro and a few bits of the first chapter-- so pretty much everything in all of this episode was nothing new to me aside from the DVDs, so I'm intrigued and want to see more.
For as much as I've seen people criticize Dangan Ronpa's character designs, I have to say I rather like most of them...
-
I'm much less pleased that Space Journey is -exactly- the same as Space Journey from the game, they didn't even add an audible Monobear snigger. This implies that all the cutscenes will be copy/pasted wholesale into the anime.. :/
-
I'm not-so-pleased so far but I assume we haven't gotten to any of the meat yet.
-
holy fuck is that soraru singing the ending
-
Meh, they did took some scenes from the game...let's just see how they fare in the next episode.
-
Wouldn't have minded a bit more artistic license.
That way we can possibly see more of best character.
Anyway, the storyline is there but there's no sense of tension; I feel like the anime is missing...I guess an emotional heart? It's like kids in high school English class reading Shakespeare in monotone. Feels kinda like it's just going through the motions I guess.
Looking forward to see how they continue with this,
-
ya, I saw the first episode and it was.... not really dramatized well? I dunno. didn't like it.
-
Looks like I won't be dropping this.
I mean, most of the original gripes are still there, but things are interesting now, at least. (not that the perpetrator isn't obvious but YOU KNOW)
What's the deal with pink blood
?
-
What's the deal with pink blood
?
I thought that always was a thing, as far as I had heard. When they were just announcing the anime, I was seeing posts about people being happy they stuck with that.
-
So I found out who the perpetrator is and I didn't even have to watch the whole thing twice. I thought this was going to be more of a challenge ._.
Also I am going to call bullshit if Sakura gets killed before this generic, spineless, careless and overall very murderable main character does.
I am very amused by Sakura. And very relieved that Maizono died early and shouldn't have to explain why.
-
All right, finished watching episode 2.
What is it with this season and killing off the characters I like most in all of the shows right away?
Thanks to tumblr, I already know the killer is
Leon
. But what gets me is, I don't understand why Naegi seems so worried for his own sake.
Monokuma directly stated that if an innocent person is accused of murder, it would be the rest of the jury that gets punished, and the accused gets a reward. Naegi is safe no matter what, unless he too makes an incorrect accusation. Everyone else, on the other hand... they need to not jump to conclusions so quickly.
-
I'm pretty sure it's the True Culprit who gets the award (freedom), not the accused.
-
I don't really like the opening theme. I don't think rap fits very well with the original track.
I guess there's no free time events. What a pity.
They also skipped a couple of pieces of evidence and conversations. Like the missing knife from the kitchen plus the people that could have taken it and how Naegi got the ornamental sword etc. Oh well I guess that's what happens when you only have 13 episodes to work with.
Whatever, time to see how the trial is handled.
-
And very relieved that Maizono died early and shouldn't have to explain why.
nooo best character ;-;
-
If we're putting spoilers in spoiler tags we might as well put a spoiler tag on the thread title considering there's a spoiler in the OP :derp:
I've read the LP, and am watching the anime mainly just to hear all the CVs at work aaaaah
Also on the pink blood
A note for people who are not color blind
Because of the intricacies of the Japanese game rating system, blood in this game is colored pink. Rest assured, though, it is human blood you will be looking at, and it doesn't mean our characters are secretly aliens or elves. If this bothers you too much, I suggest either reading this LP wearing red-tinted glasses or going on a nightlong photoshop color-correction frenzy.
-
oh man i cant wait to see how the main character and his childhood friend will
aaand shes dead

LOL. It was both funny and sad at the same time.

I play a similar game at my university with a few friends so I'm behind this anime.
Am I supposed to not be wondering things like "Why don't they investigate how the fridge gets refilled (i.e. how food gets into the place)?" and "How structurally sound is a building where impaling spears, or some other crazy trap, is probably covering every inch of the building?"
. If there were some rule banning destruction of property, then I'd understand (I'm afraid to go look for the rules myself in case I spoil something... again).
Also, who's sleeve was by the garbage disposal place?
...Ok one more of these: Why are there steel plates covering windows? Are the windows better protected then the walls because... the notion of a window makes the wall inherently weaker?
-
Well, the trial scene was disappointing too. I still don't know why they planned to finish the entire thing in 13 episodes. I mean, so much content was cut from the first trial alone and stuff. Any conversations during the investigation phase just disappeared and we missed a lot of conversations in the story phase before that.
Why do we even care about Leon when he's had like, 5 lines of dialogue outside of the end trial sequence. Why does Naegi have an ornamental sword in his room? What happened to the point about the room being cleaned?
I didn't particularly like how they tried to shoehorn the evidence bullets from the game into the trial either.
Also, I found it amusing that the execution was cut too for censorship or whatever
.
Well, whatever.

wait whaaaat
thats like the best part of digin roper :<
-
Wow did that trial disappoint me, it all seemed so artificial and fabricated and ungenuine. And I didn't even read the VN or play the game or whatever it was.
The only part I actually liked was how Kirigiri tried to get Naegi to reach some sort of compromise in forgiving Maizono because that's the sort of thing you have to do in your head to be able to shake it off and live on with life without having the issue pop into your head every day until you go insane. That was kinda realistic until the main character guy decided he was going to screw the rules and get green hair or something.
-
@Vhaltzotsuki, one thing that I realized before going is that I really didn't want to see a show about teenagers trying to cope with the problems of a stressful situation that forces them to murder. I kinda figured that I'd never believe any of the characters in this show. If this whole situation happened in real life, I don't think anyone would be murdered (people would be too busy trying to tear down walls).
@Yoshino, I imagine they just drew this one out so people got a sense of how these things work. It does seem like they'll have to compress future events... or someone is going to have to kill tons of people.
Evidence bullets? What the fuck are those? Is that how real courts work? What's going on here?
Is there a reason Leon didn't just keep the clothes until the next morning
? Also, I can't help but feel the fortune teller or Doujin writer would have been better targets
.

oh wait they were made by the same company well shit
now they're really on blast

It's a gameplay element where you'd have to shoot down arguments based on the evidence you already have. It's awkward as hell in the anime and doesn't nearly have as much impact as it did in the game where it shattered the screen before moving onto the next phase.

Leon was panicking about having just committed a murder. I mean, one of the bits of evidence that was cut was the fact that Leon actually cleaned all of the hair in the room as an extra precaution.

It's actually Naegi mimicking Maizono. Of course, since we missed a bunch of conversations with Maizono, we only got to hear her say the line once.

They never explore the first question.
Destruction of school property is punishable by death. (Don't do it, kids!)
There are steel plates covering the windows so no one can get out. Also, so no one can get in.
-
I'm still holding out hope that they skip case 3 entirely. "We had a third case, x was killed (show body) and y was executed (show death)." I do expect them to skip at least one if not two trials just to time crunch it in there. I wouldn't mind if they did that if it meant the next trials they show had more life in them >_>
-
Wow. Is it that bad? I'm planning to watch it after seeing a bit of the game but I might hold on this one if it's true.

With 13 episodes they can't afford 2 episodes per trial, considering there's more than just trials.
Anime has me a bit disappointed regardless. Hope they at least include the ending where Asahina becomes a babymaker machine, producing mini-Naegi, mini-Hagakure and mini-Togami.

Please let people know if your spoiler-tagged text contains information on Dangan Ronpa 2, I want to wait and play it when the translation comes out (>_<)
I finished playing the game with Vhaltz the other day. Here are my thoughts about it:
While I still get the feeling that Dangan Ronpa is quite a commercial game, I also think it's quite good and I enjoyed it!
I don't really like most of the characters. In fact I think I only like Sakura, she's very mature and a great person (T^T)♥ I think everyone can learn a bit from her.
I liked Celes too until I learned that she wasn't being genuine at all... I thought that she was being sane by repeating that they had to adapt to survive and I thought that's what I'd do in such a situation, but that was just another lie. Still, I enjoyed the Liar Game and Akagi references.
Dangan Ronpa is also quite a predictable game. I expected most of what happened except for a few things, like Chihiro being a crossdresser, Sakura committing suicide (I actually thought that Asahina murdered her) and the background story for the whole academy thing. I hope Dangan Ronpa 2 isn't that easy.
The ending just left me hanging, I wanted to know how society outside there works and what caused it!
-
genocider reveal not even 3 minutes in christ
Sakura committing suicide (I actually thought that Asahina murdered her)
same except that halfway i thought she failed and got asahina to kill her wowe....
-
I hope Dangan Ronpa 2 isn't that easy.
Meh...same.
Anyways, good news for Vita users(like myself). They'll be having a remake of Danganronpa, but as Danganronpa 1.2: Reloaded. It features both the original and the sequel, and the player can roam from the school to even the island!
What's more is...YOU CAN GO ON A DATE WITH THE CHARACTERS!
And yes, there'll be a NA release.
-
jesus dat tongue
oh damn
how am i supposed to not ship mondokiyotaka after that
why are all these characters so silly yet so likalbe

I finished playing the game with Vhaltz the other day. Here are my thoughts about it:
As someone who just finished watching case 3 onwards on youtube and is pretty much in the same boat: surprise me and say that you found the puppetmaster's identity predictable. I wasn't even close to thinking of that, for some reason - had VLR-like theories about Naegi for the most part, what with the dreams and (at first) the group photo of everyone but him. Was too busy picturing how he'd "sacrifice" himself in the end and be the Actual Culprit, funny and ingenious after case 5. To be honest... I didn't think this was easy - I felt like some of the jumps were too sudden and impossible to figure out "by the way". Notable examples are the glass shard in the poison bottle and the use of fucking chicken blood. Ironically, I expected something like what the background to the game turned out to be from the beginning - consider that there was no sign of any help underway, and that the puppetmaster had unrealistic power over the outside world... unrealistic assuming it was orderly.
-
when they showed the dead bodies the second time and played the creepy music, syo just walks in like yo im here check out my tongue ahahahaha
-
How are they going to fit in the rest of CH3 in one episode I wonder?
-
They'll probably skip the fucking around from the start of the case (no
'ARE U SURE THERE WAS A DOLLY' bullet time
) and go straight to solving it because this case is really obvious from the start screw you case 3.
Actually they changed it up a little in the anime, so it's not as obvious? I think that's a good thing. At least it will be over quickly!
-

Yeah, I thought that the mastermind was Junko before it was revealed (o_o; They gave you lots of hints like Junko's measurements and the fact that there was a corpse less than expected in the Biology Lab, so the creators were practically screaming "IT WAS JUNKO ALL ALONG" (=w=; I had no idea how she did it, though.
Also, it was also obvious that they'd use chicken for some purpose. They counted the amount of chickens there a thousand times, so at least a chicken would disappear, that much was for sure. And why else would it disappear if it weren't for using it's blood? Vhaltz pointed this out before I could (it was the first thing he investigated) so he was the one to realise about it, but I had in mind that there'd be at least one chicken less. I think I'd have reached the counclusion too, but I can't say for sure.
I don't remember what happened with the glass shard, if you remind me I can tell you what I thought about it (>_<) (But as I've said, I wasn't expecting Sakura to commit suicide)
-
I never noticed the measurements until it was pointed out, and I thought "a body was missing" due to some bizarre unknown reason. Same thing I assumed had happened with the chicken - I didn't predict the use of chicken blood of all things. As for the glass shard, I mean the one found inside the poison container which proved that the containers weren't switched. It was just an unpredictable reveal.
-
so uh
celes confirmed character who gives the least fucks
-
The only thing I find interesting about the show is the musclebound woman who looks like Akuma.
And thanks to the internet, I know what happens to her.
-
Anyone still watching this?
I've already caught up with the LP at this point as well as the current SDR2 thread, and I'm really wondering how they're going to fit the rest of this into two/three episodes. There's just too much and they'd have to cut SOMETHING out (and I figure they're going to dedicate at least a whole episode to the final trial with Junko revealed as the mastermind, because damn that was a long part in the LP...
)
-
Still watching. Just keeping out of the thread b/c I have a bad habit of rolling over dem spoilers.

I get the feeling they'll be able to mesh everything in the final trial segment into one episode anyway. They've surprised me once with the third case already. Consider that ep 12 will probably be the escape + agreement + long and eventful investigation period.
Following DR2 as well. It's cool.
-
I honestly am enjoying SDR2 more than DR itself. I hope it gets an anime adaptation too.
-
looks like they skipped the bad end
also dat ladder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4)
-

Yeah, we didn't get to see the end where Kyouko is executed, Fukawa dies at some point, and Asahina has a baby with each of the remaining guys
. Which is fine, because that's a silly ending anyway. Would have been amusing, though. Maybe they'll make it an OVA episode :V
I will say that I can see how they're pacing it now and I feel a bit better about the upcoming ending. Cutting the investigation so short kinda killed some details, but at the same time, it removed a significant portion of the stupid parts of the trial (like having to convince Hagakure that Kyouko wasn't a ghost, etc.
). That, and Kyouko continues to be one of my favorite characters, too. She kinda reminds me of Homura without the horrid abusive streak.
-
also ramen hat is best hat
there needs to be a touhou with a ramen hat
although i guess sukuna is close
-
I figured I'd skim through this thread cuz wow Dangan Ronpa is really cool! Though I stopped watching the anime like after chapter 2 cuz oops all my favorite characters are dead by then and really I mostly wanted to watch it to get to actually hear the seiyuu and whatnot. I'll probably just marathon the rest at some point since I'm curious about how they did certain things though of course I figured the pacing would be really iffy as soon as they said it'd only be 13 episodes. Like that's a lot to cram into 13 episodes.
Somewhat relevant since some of you guys are mentioning SDR2, I'd say that's it pretty much better overall than the first game so if you kind of like the concept but aren't super into the first game/anime I'd suggest you stick around for 2 (I figure it'll probably get an anime too eventually right? though I really hope it's longer if it does). Though you can't really just skip to SDR2 sorry, I mean I guess you could but a lot of stuff would make no sense at all...
-
I am liking SDR2 significantly more, yeah.
Though words cannot express how much I want Souda
to die. <<;
-
And the anime has now redeemed itself in my eyes.
They're giving the whole final episode for the last scene with Junko fuck yes
god DAMN I love her voice acting
Edit: Also, there's apparently a DR character sorter now. Here's how mine turned out. (http://i.imgur.com/H1Dj1I7.png) (Contains some spoilers I guess?)

FGFHGHJSDSFDSFG'
Monobear: TIME TO VOTE!

That isn't what happened ;_; Kirigiri is suposed to say the trial is strange in that ending! It makes Kirigiri look twice as evil as she was!

FGFHGHJSDSFDSFG'
Monobear: TIME TO VOTE!
Kirigiri: BTW NAEGI TOTES COULD HAVE DONE IT VOTE HIM
That isn't what happened ;_; Kirigiri is suposed to say the trial is strange in that ending! It makes Kirigiri look twice as evil as she was!
I... do rather remember her making vague attempts at incriminating him, though? At least in the bad ending route. I had never quite seen her as 'evil' in that scene as much as I had noticed how desperate she was to survive-- not because she had valued her life above Naegi's or anyone else's, but because she said that the mystery of the school would never be solved if she were to die there. Which ultimately means everyone would have died.
(Or, in the bad ending, been stuck in the school forever, with Asahina eventually having Naegi, Togami, and Hagakure's kids, and Touko apparently dying.)
The way I see it, she would have sacrificed one life over all six of their lives, if only in the most pragmatic sense. Of course, this isn't what happened, thanks to Alter Ego coming in to turn the tables.
Of course, I feel Kirigiri more than made up for her strategic betrayal, as well. Naegi trusted her, so it was her job to live up to that. And thus, that's why she sent herself down the garbage chute to save him, earning her noodle-cup crown of redemption.
-
In the game yes, she was going out of her way to extend the trial by incriminating Naegi so there was another viable suspect besides her. Naegi doesn't tell on her about the monokey, Togami mentions that Naegi could have planted the wooden key in Kirigiri's room, and then Monobear suddenly ends the trial and Kirigiri gets surprised saying there's never been a time limit before, then the vote happens immediately. In the game the impression is Kirigiri was trying to keep the trial going until they could figure out what was going on. Having her be the one to introduce Naegi planting the key changes it from her plan going wrong to making it look like her plan all along was to throw Naegi under the bus.
-
So I've gone and read chapters 3 through 6 of DR the second and holy glorious balls. (spoilers below)
(seriously, SDR2 spoilers, don't do it man) Souda is literally the most terrible and annoying character in the series why did he not die I really wanted him to die. Also, question, it wasn't ever revealed why Komaeda was that fucked in the head, right? I'm also struggling to figure out why they say he wanted the SHSL Despair folks dead (by having the monitors win the fifth trial). Where's the ultimate hope in that?
[matsuri]ty[/matsuri]
-
Hm, point. Well, I suppose what's rushed is rushed, either way.
I am just happy they took out the bit with having to convince Hagakure because oh my god shut up

yeah uh label that SDR2 or something will you jfc I stopped as soon as I saw 'Souda' but ugh

Well it does say "DR the second".
But yeah, should probably make it more clear if it's about the second game or something.
-
Well it does say "DR the second".
Yeah but like no one calls it that :V
I just saw 'DR' and assumed it was the first :v

At least I made the actual important spoilers later on in that post. Even if you'd read a few more words I don't think you would be spoiled about...anything really.
Anyway sorry!
-
Yeah, no harm done. I just didn't want any spoilers on that because I'm at chapter 3 right now D:
-
As such of it, I'm a fan of it. ^-^
I know in Chapter 5 you must choose to reveal Kirigiri's lie (so that Kirigiri would be executed) or not (so that Naegi would be executed, but was not).

To clarify on the 2nd season rumors, nothing's been confirmed anywhere, it's just a tiny hook that means they may want to do it in the future. It probably will happen, but there will be an official announcement when it's confirmed that it will.

It was obviously a joke, not to mention the team instantly left Gainax afterwards

I still think that there will be a second season... Maybe next year. But not yet. The first season just finished. I hope they will make the sdr2 anime a little bit longer, so that they don't rush with the things.
-
I've heard that SDR2 is almost 50% longer textwise, so hopefully they'll make the anime longer to compensate for that.

Bumping thread to bring to attention:
Dangan Ronpa 0 movie announced (http://aprildangan.web.fc2.com/top.html)

This is pretty much perfect. Is this by the same people who made the first season and might make the second season?
