Reroll despair has already started from my first pull.

To go away from the despair of rerolling in a Danganronpa game:
Nanami arrived today.
Wasn't that hard to place together, the wires connecting the controllers threw me up for a loop but besides that, she's pretty damn impressive.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls was one of the winners for "outstanding performance award" at today's Famitsu Awards 2014. I was watching the stream earlier; at one point they were talking to Kazutaka Kodaka who was at the show.

How the fuck did you get that stick in her back? I destroyed my fingers trying to get it to fit and haven't tried again since the day it arrived. Really sick of Phat's overly complicated Dangan Ronpa crap, Kyoko was a pain to put together too. Their actual figures are good but these things are just too ridiculous.

So instead of the complicated medium of anime they decided to keep with the stage play format? Good for them, but that makes me think that there are scheduling conflicts with Lerche.
If they keep at this pace we may even get a play about Another Episode before it releases in America.

DR2's stage play is scheduled for the end of this year.
Another Episode is scheduled to come out this September or so.

Yes, I have just seen the dates. Talking about AE, has NISA confirmed the release date? I think we got an offscreen trailer with the English voices around E3, but I don't remember when they announced the date and the LE.

Amazon and other sites are saying September 1. NISA placeholders are usually accurate, and that was about the time DR2 was released, so that sounds about right. No word on the LE yet.
Also they thought it would be too hard to do an anime for DR2, but they've opted for a stage play? Lol, ok.

It's on Google Play but you'll need an account you started with Google Japan and a VPN to get the store to switch over to the Japanese version. I been doing that method and even I admit it's kinda annoying. ~_~
Other people have been using apks but I know nothing about those.

Been playing the first game with my mom for our Youtube channel. She's been liking it a lot more than I expected. About to start the third trial and she's super into it. Her mind is going to be in pieces when we get to the end, I just know it.

Just on Amazon UK right now looking to see when Steins;Gate releases this month and Amazon has Another Episode listed as coming out September 4th
Placeholder or the real date?

Fake, as indicated by the "dispare" spelling.
Edit: Welp, now all I can think of is the OT for Another Episode having a pun relating to "Dis Pair of Ultra Girls"
Amazon US says Sept. 1st, so maybe Sept. is at the very least the release month. Same month DR2 came out in 2014.

So a small interview appeared in Siliconera if anyone is interested. It is basically a Q&A about the endgame of DR2 and some implications for the series at large.
It just makes me wonder if (DR The Stage spoilers)
means something for DR3.
What, no Ursidae puns? That's beary disappointing.

Please get passed this Junko phase already, you've created the avatar for evil to be used by anyone wanting to take up the mantle, Monokuma is truly an immortal being like the Joker. You love him but you also despise him.
The best Danganronpa characters are the ones that have a certain level of nuance to them. This is why, the more I think about it, Chiaki is one of my least favorite characters in the series, and it's why Nagito's my favorite.
would have been as well once the novelty of who they are wore off immediately after they reappeared in Danganronpa 2, but Danganronpa Zero made that character's depiction way more interesting to me and gave it depth that DR1 and DR2 do not really convey.
If that character gets to the point of overuse (if they haven't already reached that point by now), whatever good Danganronpa Zero did for how I saw that character will be gone.

In some pretty bad news, it was reported that the japanese voice of Monokuma, Nobuyo Oyama, suffers from dementia. I don't have any experience on this illness, but it is fair to assume that there is going to be a big setback on the production of the next game.
Prayers for her and her family, and I hope that she gets to enjoy a quality of life as good as possible in her condition.

Out of nowhere, Dark Horse has licensed the Danganronpa the Animation manga adaptation
Sure its not the much better manga series based off the games but I'll take any small step.

What a strange decision, all the other things they've licensed make a lot more sense.

The manga adaptation of the game (so the direct game to manga version) does a very good job in exploring the whys of the murderers. It definitely helps bring in a lot of characterization for the first murderer especially.
Oh, really? So it's considered better than the anime?
Just seems weird they would call the manga the same name of the anime...even more so when it was called "The ANIMATION".

The one that was licensed adapts the anime hence why it is called Danganronpa The Animation.
The other manga I was talking about adapts directly from the game and wasn't licensed.

That's a shame that they didn't get the superior manga, but even if it is inferior I'll probably still end up buying it eventually.
Belatedly sad to hear about Nobuyo Oyama. I always went for the dub, but I did enjoy her version of Monokuma.

That comment perplexes me so much. Does he not realize just how excellent of a villain he created with Nagito? He is literally one of my favorite video game characters ever, and the majority opinion is that he is one of people's favorite characters in the whole series.
Kodaka talks about good characters not playing into people's expectations, and that's exactly what Nagito does, and he does it excellently. And instead of being a one note, "DESPAIR, DESPAIR, DESPAIR," he is so much more complicated, with a fresh relationship on the series' major themes: hope and despair. Plus, what makes him even better is that he can't even just be labeled an antagonist. He's a protagonist, antagonist and antihero all at the same time because of his crazy actions and his motivations.
I swear, Junko is going to be the death of this series. She's holding the creator back because he can't see past her.

Sad to hear about Monokuma's VA. Didn't know she did Doraemon too. Not exactly easy to bounce back from dementia
As for the manga, surprised Dark Horse licensed it and I definitely will get. Hoprfully we can get the others too, especially Zero. Dark Horse is pretty completionist with what they pick, including CLAMP and Evangelion titles.

Do they do light novels?
I have the Ah My Goddess! light novel they did, so it's not something new but they don't do them often like Yen. Still gives hope.

I assume he sees
her
Even so, I agree with both of you that Nagito is a much more well rounded character; both his twisted logic and values make him a better villiain overall - if we can even call him that after everything that transcurred in the course of the game. He was pretty active through the entire game, so his involvement is more interesting than the plot dump that happened at both games' Chapter 6.
Junko
Yeah, I don't think I like his mentality very much. DanganRonpa as a series, for me, has always been subverting and one-upping expectations. It's honestly a little disheartening to read that he's toying with the idea of
Junko coming back.
Junko
I still think it could work if they ran with the idea mentioned at the end of DR2 with
, or have it be someone related to them in some form, like their "biggest fan", or hell, what if it was one of their parents that caused them to grow up as the way they turned out? What happened to them? Did they play a role?
Heck, imagine if DR3, you think they back, BUT THEN SURPRISE, THE ACTUAL, REAL VILLAIN APPEARS! Maybe that could work as a twist.
So uh, while I was making this post, I was wondering, what's the rule on the character of
& the fact that
? I could've sworn the rule for this thread was that DR1, DR2, and DR if were fair game, but Another Episode spoilers were to be hidden because the game's not out yet.
