Or maybe some estranged relation of hers. I guess they could reveal just about anybody as being secretly her long-lost brother or sister and have them start taking on Junko-like traits. Tangentially related, but do you think they'll ever address how Remnants of Despair got ahold of her corpse even though she died by being crushed into a pancake by a giant weight? I'm not sure if that should just be written off as a quirk of the second game not having been fully mapped out when the first game was written, or an actual plot point. It seemed like the manner in which she died was briefly alluded to in this episode (in the opening I think?) though, so maybe it actually is important. Maybe that corpse that the Remnants were fucking wasn't actually hers? --- Quote from: Matsuri on July 13, 2016, 01:12:03 AM ---Haiji and Monaca have to be involved though, or else it'd just be some totally loose ends that they just ignored, so I have a feeling they'll be involved. --- End quote --- I guess, but it would feel premature to me to address those loose ends that quickly. Interested to see what happens I guess, they could probably pull it off in a way that wouldn't feel rushed. Also, keep in mind that this isn't the only Danganronpa anime this season. I believe the other one is a prequel so the loose ends regarding them couldn't be easily tied up in it, but they could be fleshed out and developed maybe. --- Quote from: Matsuri on July 13, 2016, 01:12:03 AM ---I do absolutely hope Alter Ego plays some role in this series somehow. --- End quote --- I wonder if she could make AI versions of the rest of the deceased Danganronpa 1 cast? That could be a cool way to see some of our long-gone favorite characters again and a thematically interesting way of defeating whoever the bad guy is. |

To be honest my money is on Monaca... but it's all up in the air. |

Despair Arc >>> Future Arc for me It's much more to my tastes. It's basically fanservice going over all the character quirks. "Oh, yeah, that was a thing." "Wait, don't tell me, it's THIS guy --THERE HE IS" etcetera. It's nice getting a reminder after, like, four years. Yukizome is awesome too. |

I'm just laughing so hard Despair Arc first episode omfg so many laughs and poor Mikan. I love this arc WAY more better than Future I wanna see more of this, I mean everybody was goofy as fuck to the point I laughed too hard. It's sad that Spoiler: Yukizome died on Future arc, she's like the teacher I wish I had. |

Yup, I cared about the Despair Arc episode waaaay less than the Future Arc one. That's not to say it wasn't okay, but I don't prefer it. Maybe once the plot gets rolling I will, but it mostly reminded me how irritating most of the Goodbye Despair cast is. So there are a few major points to take note of the way I see it. -Chiaki being a real person is the obvious one. I assume this means that she will A) meet Chihiro at some point, since she's not a total fabrication after all and B) die before the end of the series. Also, if Chiaki is based on a real person does that mean Monomi is as well? Yukizome maybe? (Edit: Or I guess it's possible that this still isn't real life and Chiaki is still an AI and never did actually exist, but what would the point of that be?) -Unlike in the other episode, the blood is pink. This makes me think that the difference actually does matter. These episodes are also my first major exposure to the Japanese voice casts, and I gotta say, I honestly really prefer the English cast. I'm definitely missing out on a lot of nuance, but the English VAs seem to have way more character. Especially Monokuma. This is also reminding me how much of Goodbye Despair I don't remember. I played that game so quickly and it's so complex that I didn't retain a lot of relevant stuff. I don't think I really care to replay it since so much of it is based on surprises and puzzling out the ridiculously complicated scenarios, but I kind of feel like I have to to really follow exactly what's going on. |
