Just watched the Funimation dub.
The worst voice by far is also a holdover from the first anime, Monokuma himself. His voice feels more on the grating side of things, and not in a funny way. It's a damn shame that he's the biggest miss of all. The other DR1 anime voices (Kyoko, Hiro & Hina) are fine, but I prefer the NISA dubs.
Among the newbies Ryota and Juzo stood out as particularly good casting choices. Kyosuke did feel uneven at times, particularly the opening line. Tengan was ok, but I think he should've sounded more grizzled.
Overall, I thought it was good. Not amazing, but I liked it well enough.

Regardless of Tengan being part of it there is no way the Aoi fake out is just messing with Makoto. That is just not fitting with Danganronpa and small shit coming back as big pieces of evidence. Even if its some crazy shit like they don't really fall asleep at night and Monokuma makes them rehearse some some stupid play then gives them amnesia to forget the previous 8 hours every night. It's going to be something.

that dub Gundham is so fucking bad. The game VA was so good...

I'm going to vastly prefer the Despair side compared to the future side.
Only real issue with the future side was Monokuma's voice actor.
Otherwise both seem very solid compared to the DR1 anime voicings.

This one? Currently all the dead characters are walking sideways except for Tengan (and Asahina), which may indicate something special going on with him.
US only, of course
Yeah that one, thanks for it

And well Tengan was killed outside of the rules of the game so maybe he walking backwards means that

Yep. I vastly prefer English NISA Monokuma voice actor over the Japanese. Hope V3 is back with original Monokuma.

If you mean the original VA for Japanese, that isn't going to happen. The voice actor was diagnosed with dementia.

We are gonna probably see Izuru.

I doubt Izuru is the Master, that'd shit all over DR2's ending.
Dang, Yasuhiro and Monokuma voices were really noticeable.
They don't sound anything alike.
Kyoko and Aoi were never really too notable in terms of distinguishing speech, so they don't really bother me, but I'm so taken out by Hiro and Monokuma.
Also really don't like "Super High School Level"; much prefer "Ultimate".
So is this actually set after all the events of Ultra Despair Girls and Goodbye Despair, or is that why Byakuya's not around?

Eh no, I meant we are gonna see Izuru in today's episode.
Yeah Future arc is after UDG and DR2 Despair arc is before DR1 (or zero if you read it). Make sure you watch it in the order they air though if your just jumping in. Future, Despair, Future...

Looks like my time jump theory proved accurate. Diving into the rest of Despair 5 now to see what chaos has ensued.

I wouldn't say "best episode" because this was for all intents and purposes a bridge ep but man there was no shortage of Danganronpa fan service to make a bridge ep like this one damned entertaining. Glad they decided to get it all out of the way in one fell swoop. Very smart.
Curious to see how much exposure we'll have to Ryota in Future Episode 6 now that his back story and link to the Imposter has been largely explained. That Kirigiri investigation plotline needed advancement anyhow.
And speaking of the Imposter, I'm highly curious as to why he was impersonating Byakuya pre-Hope's Peak enrollment now.
Chiaki really embraced her Class Rep duties despite Hajime's disappearance from Hope's Peak and Chisa-sensei's absence teaching the Reserve Course students. She's such a little trooper.
That was definitely him. The Hansel & Gretel pastry bag was a dead giveaway. That and the fact that they didn't arbitrarily make him blue the way they do anyone of little consequence.
They are going to retread the whole "it's a game within a game" with "it's an anime within an anime". We will discover that everything was an anime. Everything.
That pretty much narrows out any chances of her evading the student council killing game

Finally things will start. Junko is crazy as always, but I didn't expect her to be so overtly chaotic before the Tragedy started. And Mukuro keeps her Junko-obsessed personality from Zero - I wonder if we'll see the influence that Makoto had on her (if IF is aknowledged by Kodaka here).
This episode was pretty much filling some blanks with both Hiyoko's growth spurt and the Imposter-Mitarai relationship, but I would have liked to see the intrincacies of the Kamukura Project and if Hinata knew the full extent of it, namely erasing his personality and memories.
Yes, that was Yuto Kamishiro. Good to see Kodaka won't plainly ignore Zero, but we still haven't been introduced to the other main character of the novel. But I wonder if Matsuda played a role at all in the Kamukura Project, as he wasn't involved in the scene in this episode.
They really love her.

Wasn't he always there? The biggest thing is that they removed Hinata, maybe they'll replace him with Izuru when he is properly introduced.

Despair Episode 1 dub observations...
Man oh man is it great hearing Stephanie Sheh's Mikan again. Ditto for Kira Buckland's Hiyoko. The localized characterizations for the DR2 gang blow the DR1 crew out of the water so it's great that so many of them were able to be retained. Those two, in particular, were standouts in the game and they fell right back into these roles as if they never left them.
Christine Marie Cabanos' Chiaki delivery was rather unique here. It felt off... and yet I almost think that was by design. I mean, it's clearly her but she sounds like she's voicing a real kid and not an AI construct if you catch my drift. There was a distinct difference in delivery cadence here that I didn't pick up watching this episode in Japanese but I actually sort of appreciate it.
On the recast front, Aaron Dismuke's Fuyuhiko is pretty damn solid. Kid's been voice acting for 14 years now and he's only 23. That's an amazing wealth of experience and he's still tapping into an unlimited well of potential. Suspect he'll wind up making the big bucks as a mainstay in Los Angeles working on AAA games at some point.
Brina Palencia (Ibuki) and Clarine Harp (Peko) were fine recasting choices. They had very little to work with in this episode, though so the verdict is still out on them.
I'm not nearly as impressed with Morgan Garrett's Akane (it's serviceable at best) and Scott Frerichs' Gundham comes off as a bad impression. Matching Chris Tergliafera's original delivery was an unenviable task and an impossibly tall order. I'll give him points for effort at least.
Standout performance of this episode was Colleen Clinkenbeard's Chisa. I'm biased though as I adore Colleen in just about everything. She's just so damn versatile.
I'm having a really hard time with Ricco Fajardo's Munakata. I'm hoping his delivery evens out in later episodes but his delivery is inconsistent (both here and in the Future arc premiere) and it's highly distracting.
Just to add an off-hand comment not about the dub, Teruteru enjoyed himself so much getting suspended from the ceiling by Chisa you'd swear he was a Future arc murder victim.

As an episode I can't say it was amazing, but as a Danganronpa fan Despair 5 hit all the right notes. I'm very curious about the part when Chisa was narrating her time spent in the reserve course, it sounded like she was losing her mind.
It's so weird finally seeing some of these characters on screen or at the same time as others. They even got one from DR Zero in there too. Although it finally feels like it's all coming together I wonder if they were leading up to this the whole time or if they really are just making it up as they go along.

I agree, that was very interesting. Definitely makes her look more suspicious imho.
Also, I love Junko narrating anything. I need a spin-off of that.
