The Danganronpa Anime Is Out (Spoiler Warning For The Games)
MatsuriSakuragi:
On the contrary, I just finished the first episode of Despair and I am so fucking excited. I'm remembering how much I loved my favorite characters from DR2 (especially Chiaki and yes I'm going to be ebullient over her for the entire time especially since she's clearly one of the central focus characters which makes me all the happier because she's by far and away my favorite DR character along with Chihiro and Junko). I can't wait to see how it all plays out-- well I mean, we know how it will-- but I can't wait to watch them all fall to despair because it's going to be crazy.
Chiaki being a real person is really surprising to me on that note-- wasn't she created as an AI by Chihiro/Alter Ego? Or was that only in the digital world that DR2 takes place in? And we've no reason to believe that this is that digital world just yet, since this is supposed to take place before they fall to despair and the world goes to shit.
That said, I'm also reminded about how much I hated certain characters. There's that too. But still.
The Japanese voice casts are really solid imo, but that is also because I never really played any of the games with English voices-- especially so for DR2, because some of my favorite voice actors voice some of my favorite characters:
Chiaki - Kana Hanazawa
Sonia - Miho Arakawa (aka Himari Takakura from Mawaru Penguindrum and Ginko Yurishiro from Yuri Kuma Arashi)
Peko - Kotono Mitsuishi (aka Sailor fuckin' Moon)
Komaeda - Megumi Ogata (Shinji, Sailor Uranus, Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura)
Gundam - Tomokazu Sugita
and so on-- Dangan Ronpa in general has kind of an all star voice actor lineup and I love it.
Finally, apparently the Impostor is Mitarai, or is Mitarai the Impostor? At what point do they disguise as Togami?

Chiaki threw me for a loop but for now I'm just assuming she was a real person and they modeled the VR AI after her.
It's weird if the imposter wasn't always a SHSL imposter. I was wondering if they retconned out the con artist. :V
MatsuriSakuragi:
Can I also add how much I love the Despair OP? It's so GOOD :*
Polaris:
re: the japanese voices, if you haven't heard megumi ogata's komaeda going 'sore wa chigau yo' then you've been missing out.
MatsuriSakuragi:
It kind of blows my mind at how good of a voice actor she is. <3
