Hah same. To think barely a year ago I hardly know about the Danganronpa franchise. I saw the Another Episode announcement trailer during Pre-TGS Sony conference 2013 and I was like "...what the heck is this weird crap?" Helps that they seemed to have worked on the UI and the aiming etc. Game looks better now.
To think a year ago, I didn't even know the word "Danganronpa" was an actual word.
...umm...actually, what does the word "Daganronpa" mean? XD

In all seriousness though...interesting.
...although the more I think about it...that's kind of a crappy name for a game. XD So it's a good thing we just call it "Danganronpa" instead of "Bullet Argument".

I never even looked it up because I simply thought it was another one of those words that they just made up to sound cool, Danganronpa just doesn't sound Japanese at all LOL. Still pretty cool, and I don't mind the bullet action. Yes I do get stuck sometimes, but I always manage to make it through. Plus I actually find shooting the arguments fun. Hangman's gambit on the other hand...

So I finally beat this last night, now on to platinum it!
I actually really don't care about getting the platinum trophy in games but since I got the first one without a whole lot of effort I feel like I should get this one too.
I really like Hajime as a protagonist, I thought he was a lot more three-dimensional than Makoto, although I did like Makoto when he reappeared in the trial. I loved Nagito too, before they showed how batshit crazy he really was, he was just "weird guy obssed with hope" he was a hilarious caricature of Makoto "hope" Naegi.
I liked basically all of the characters but I agree with the sentiment they felt a lot more background than they did in DR1.

Knowing that Spike Chunsoft loves giving us despair, totally anticipating that papa Ishimaru will get killed in this game.

Excuse me while I Google this same term for ah... research.
So got through Island mode for the second time, and was able to max 5 characters(first time was spent filling in report cards/figuring out what the hell i was doing with the mini-game). It's neat that you get character closure(to an extent) with them, but is there any indicator for who you've maxed going into the next playthrough? I think 1 gave you achievements for each "ending" you saw, right?
Check with Monomi, maxed characters have a lil heart on them.

I'd tell you who our subject for tonight is, but you already know his name
Snorlax: Aside from the obvious similarities in girth, Byakuya and Snorlax serve common purposes: they impede those who would otherwise be able to attain their goals. By taking on responsibility as the group's leader, Byakuya's goal was to squash the hopes of anyone who wished to murder someone, but just like Snorlax, he was stopped in the end by a tiny man wielding a long, thin instrument.
Persian: If you recall, Persian was one of the Pokemon I put on the real Byakuya's team back when I was doing PokeRonpa 1. Fats Waller here has it as a representation of how he's masquerading as Byakuya, but his disguise only goes skin deep: just as the two only share one Pokemon on their teams, the impostor was only an imitation of Byakuya's looks, not his personality or attitude.
Zoroark: Zoroark is known for both its impeccable imitation skills (with its specialty being humanoids) and its fiercely protective nature, both of which Byakuya II share.
Ditto: Oh, come on. I don't even need to explain this one.
Smeargle: Smeargle's Sketch ability lets it imitate any move, which by extension lets it fill any role on a team, albeit not very well due to its low stats. This is similar to how Big Al manages to copy Byakuya imperfectly, with the irony being that even though he didn't make a great Byakuya, he was a better person than Byakuya could ever be.
Megengar: I actually had a bit of a hard time deciding on an appropriate Mega for the impostor, but eventually settled on Mega Gengar for its ability and its shiny form's familiar rotund, white appearance. Megengar's Shadow Tag makes it so that so long as it is in play, the opponent cannot escape or switch out their teammates, reflecting Byakuya's watchful eye during the security party he threw; minimizing the threat of murder by confining everyone to one space and barring their exit.
That's all for today, folks! Tune in tomorrow for I! Buki! Mio! Da!
OR DO YOU?!

Another good list! Ditto is probably the most obvious Pokemon any of the characters could end up having, because it just makes so much sense. One Pokemon that I also think fits the Impostor well is Chatot, since it mimics sounds.

Justice never dies.
Started preliminary work on Danganwrestling 5.
Also, I'm so glad that Dangonronpa 2 gave us this Monokuma sprite. It fits right in with my Monokuma CAW.

Just finished the game... That ending... so good!
I am SHOCKED that Nagito was never revealed to be crazy-Makoto. I was thinking the events of the first game drove Makoto crazy or something.I was really sad after the chapter 5 death, it was such a brutal way for Makoto to go... But then it wasn't Makoto at all! I'm retroactively less sad. Nagito is still a great character though.
Same voice, similarish face, similar jacket/clothes, same "talent, anagram name, you play as him for a bit in Chapter 4, obsession with hope and desire to become the Ultimate Hope... Seemed too on the nose to just be a parallel to Makoto.

This looks like it will potentially be amazing. I'll have to check this out later.Started preliminary work on Danganwrestling 5.

i was laughing so hard when that happened, sucks they didn't use it again
Well I discovered some new videos. Some nice. Some odd. There's this:

This one's among my favourites. (<3 Code MENT)
It's amazing how much new stuff I'm getting exposed to through these videos. Like, I would never voluntarily watch Dane Cook ever, but the sprites used for this video made it work.

This is basically just The Office but imagining it as the characters just makes it better:

What is up with all these Danganronpa videos?? LOL.
They are glorious creations from the inner workings of the fandom's minds
oh my god throwing Hiyoko into the vending machine and throwing Monokuma out of the window, i need to rewatch The Office
Saw it when another poster posted it earlier, but the Four Dark Devas of Destruction part killed me.
Japan seems to make a stage play out of everything, don't they?
Are they ever any good? I can't imagine they would be.
Whoa I'm impressed. Is it a guy or a girl? I can't really tell.

Not sure. But something like Danganronpa is probably a good fit for a stage play, since theatrics and vocal performance are two aspects of Danganronpa that's strong in the source material, and also critical to the performance of a stage play.
man Hiro could be useful if this was real, imagine him controlling a levetating crystal ball
If only...
So he'd be like Viola from Soul Calibur V?

Yeah, except he's still somehow more relevant to his respective story than she was.

If you had told me two years ago that a Steins;Gate play would be amazing I wouldn't have believed you.
I will give this the benefit of the doubt.
