Thank you, I'll give em a read. Is that second link the other chapters to the down book or is that a separate read?
The first translator went on a long hiatus (and then quit entirely), so another person finished the translation. They say they're not as good, but tbh their translation seems fine.
tl;dr the second link has the final chapters

You mean the building with Matsuda's room, the hospital room with the Student Council president, the cafeteria area with Teruteru's cooking, etc? Or the abandoned building where Izuru was? Hope's Peak does seems bigger in the novel, specially the part where Madarai is following Ryoko.
Yeah I understand what you mean
I should have expected all of these characters (Matsuda, Madarai, Yuuto, the Student Council President) to die from the beginning. And pretty much all of the events of the novel went just as she expected (cept for Kirigiri but whatevs) so damn, Junko is definitely the Ultimate Analyst.

Abandoned building at the end. Reread the sequence and you'll realize probably see some telling signs
Also, yeah, this is why I think everything up until Chapter 6 of SDR2 more or less went as Junko wanted.

Some of you might remember the announcement last year that Nobuyo Ooyama would be putting any future voice acting jobs on hold. Today it's been announced that from here on, Tarako Isono, probably best known for being the voice of Maruko from Chibi Maruko-chan, but perhaps best recognized here for voicing Zero III in VLR, will be taking on the role of Monokuma from here on. Spike Chunsoft has posted a video sampling her as Monokuma.
Nobuyo Ooyama is stepping down as the voice of Monokuma, and is being replaced by TARAKO. TARAKO, incidentally, voiced Zero III in Virtue's Last Reward.
Jinx!
Also they'll be announcing the cast for the DR3 anime bit by bit on the anime site starting tomorrow.

I mean, Ooyama as Monokuma was a pretty huge casting coup, and her voice is pretty strongly associated with the character. No way were they gonna play this low-key.
Effective immediately, basically. So the upcoming play (which is why they announced today it looks like), the anime, the game.
Monokuma is their mascot and brand identification is crazy important in marketing. Getting rid of Monokuma is basically getting rid of their identity in the market entirely. Yeah they have Monomi but a) she can't fill a villain role and b) she's still a secondary mascot and foil to Monokuma.
I thought the plays just used recycled voice clips from the games. I was hoping they had at least recorded most of DR3 as a suitable finale for her as Monokuma, but oh well, it's better than pushing her when she's not well.

So Oyama's final work as Monokuma - and overall, it seems - was the stage play for Danganronpa 2? It is a shame that she wasn't able to lend her voice for the DR3 anime, but I suppose her condition didn't let her. At least now I get why Monokuma didn't have any voiced lines for the trailers.
I think I'll get accustomed to the new voice when we get a more extensive voice acting out from the new seiyuu, but right now it seems a little too soft and not quite as sarcastic.

I can't recall, but did they ever announce plans for any of the games to be released on PS4, or are they avoiding that all together?
Just out of curiosity.

They passed up on 3 really good opportunities to announce PS4 ports (Playstation TGS, the Danganronpa stream event, and even the more recent anime announcements to a lesser extent), so I kind of doubt it. At least not anytime soon, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility at some point.
Sad to hear about Ooyama. She was a really big coup for the Danganronpa team. Isono sounds pretty good to me, although I usually go with the dub anyway.
I ripped the high res DR2 sprites from the Steam version.
Now I can finish my "put Nagito into DR1" project.

Still at the intro but DR2 runs exactly the same like DR1 on PC. Luckily I'm still in the dark about anything related to DR2 and I really enjoy DR1 (except it is way too predictable for me as someone who reads Young Kindaichi and Detective Conan manga A LOT).
My weekend will be pure absolute despair nyohoho.

I've been looking at the DR2 cast after finishing AE, and trying to figure out how... (DR2 ending spoilers)
certain characters could be members of Ultimate Despair. Ones like Gundam and even Ibuki, I could see, but then you have Sonia and certain others and I'm just like... them? How?
Have you read Danganronpa Zero? Some of the "how" is conveyed in it.
Basically, (DR1 SPOILERS):
As the Ultimate Despair, Junko's influence could theoretically reduce any person to despair who isn't the Ultimate Hope (specifically Naegi, in this case).
Oh wow, new Famitsu article on it: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201604/22104333.html
I have no idea how that works.
lol yeah, I was surprised when I saw what roles the actress had done before XD
Didn't he have heart issues? It would explain why he's so excited about being a robot anyhow.
That seemed like a pretty much resolved issue though and it didn't seemed like it bothered him that much to begin with. The best thing I could ever come up with is that a former student/team of his got caught cheating or doing something shady and that it affected him personally
Non-spoilers, but we should have the rest of the new character's VAs pretty soon since there are only 3 more characters to 'reveal' for Despair Volume and 6 more for Future Volume.

Isn't that the Monaca look-alike? So now we have two apparently important guys, her and that guy with the fur jacket (as he is getting a figure made).
Interesting indeed.
Indeed it is, the final 3 for Future Volume that are gonna be announced tomorrow all have merch for them as well.
One of them, Chisa, is the girl who appeared at the end of the latest trailer.
There is a Monaca look-alike? Did they announce new characters? I can't remember anyone who looked like her.
They announced new character a while ago. The character is question though is her:
Not really an exact match, but the hair is similar enough to cause speculation.
then again people were debating about whether Twintails was Monaca for a while too before NDRv3 was confirmed to be unconnected to previous games.

I got Danganronpa 2! Its been quite a fun ride thus far, although seeing
was really strange. I just got through the first trial. Teruteru
was golden.

BIG NEWS!!
Apparently Despair Volume will be airing concurrently with Future Volume!!
The two will air interchangably and you cannot watch one without the other.
I recommend you go to the DR2 Steam thread until you finish friend. Staying here, especially now, puts you at a VERY high risk of being spoiled.
Also:
Chisa Yukizome is being voiced by Mai Nakahara
Kyosuke Munakata is being voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa
Juzo Sakakura is being voiced by Junichi Suwabe
Some Famitsu stuff is coming out soon, looks like we're getting some info on the Future Foundations' HQ.

So I suppose speculation about what this means will increase. From my point of view I think this signifies that the DR2 guys will be involved in the Future volume in some way.
Either that or past events that were set up are coming into play now. Either way, this is going to be really interesting to see how it plays out.

Oh boy.
We also have class confirmation:
Class 66: Daisaku Bandai
Class 69: Great Gozu

Class 76: Ruruka Ando, Seiko Kimura, Sonosuke Izayoi
Class 77: Ryouta Mitarai, DR2 cast

Looking at the new info, it seems like Uchikoshi and Kodaka have been exchanging notes - DR3 involves a killing game involving sleeping gas and a traitor.
