It's listed on Amazon for release on 28th August, so I guess it's probably coming out around then. It would make sense as the show will be 2/3rds over by then and the OP and ED are coming out earlier that month.
 

TWGOK S3 2

Yui's voice sounds very different than what I expected of her. Tsukiyo sounds just right though.

Not liking how fast they're going through the material early on. Needs to slow it down some before he starts finding the goddesses.

Love Lab 3

It's an ok episode. Eno is adorable and Sayo is pretty funny. It was a bit more dramatic than usual, but it was still pretty good. Hopefully next episode they will go back to the love research shenanigans.

This just makes me wish there was more Amanchu. Like an anime of it.
Hopefully SatoJun is looking for his next project!

While I probably wouldn't call it good on the whole, the P4 anime did some very interesting things with the story not present in the game, even giving us a brief deconstruction of the silent protagonist.

Danganronpa is just the game, but cut up to the point where certain things don't make sense. In fact, they probably put more effort into deciding on what to cut than actually making the show.
I suppose that's true. Of course, I think what they did was just silly. Like ramen girl showing up randomly for no good reason.

I'm imagining that as a 13 episode show, they have to chop up the game as best they can and make do though.

I don't like first person either, but everything else makes up for it. The trial sections, which is where the game REALLY shines are in third person.

That's true, you do move around in a full first-person perspective while in the corridors, but I found that worked pretty well, even speaking as
someone who isn't a fan of the first-person perspective in general and can't stand first-person shooters etc. It helped to convey the whole claustrophobic nature of the creepy school environment, while at the same time allowing you to become intimately familiar with its layout (which can, of course, be pretty relevant information when thinking about how the mysteries played out). And of course, it helps to keep a consistent "feel" to the presentation of the investigation sections, since the inside of rooms are also in a first-person perspective, adventure-game point-and-click diorama style.

At any rate, the actual first-person moving around is just for getting from place-to-place, and there's the ability to skip travel around the map at any time, so you never have to spend much time in that mode if you don't want to.

Incidentally, you may or may not be interested to know that the second game actually uses the first-person movement much less, since it takes place on a set of tropical islands, and you travel around the islands in third-person on a sort of stylised map screen where you can see your character walking. So for the most part in the second game it's a case of switching between diorama-style environments and the third-person island traversal map. There are only a couple of larger areas where it uses the first-person movement style of the first game to help you get a better feel for the area's layout.

...And as cosmicblizzard has said, while the presentation of the game in general is great, the real standout sections are the trials, which are entirely in third person.

Ah, so you can just travel between rooms via a menu? That just seems more convenient anyway.

And I suppose the fact that there's a second game kind of hints at what happens at the end of this game/anime. lol
 
I was just looking around for a new wallpaper for my desktop and I came by this picture. This has got to be the funniest picture I've seen in a while, Oga's face makes this great XD

Wait... So how many skyfish go into making a ship the size of the Gekko? RIP.
So it seems the ESP connection is somewhat permanent now too. This is going to be interesting.

It takes like, four episodes worth of skyfish to make a Gekko.

Summer Nude 1

But nobody is nude?

Poor Corvy kun.

Sometimes you shouldn't open boxes.

Eureka Seven 19

Screw that ending. Aaaaaaaaa. Eurekaaaaaaaa.
Being Renton trully is suffering of the highest magnitude.
Well at least hair down Eureka is back. Also books.
Holland must have some serious baggage if that wasn't obvious already.
What the hell happened between Holland and Renton's sister? Did he kill her or something? Is that why he's obsessed with the coralians? What are they anyway, assuming his sister is dead and the psychic connection it causes plus his vision on the previous acperience is it a passage to the world beyond? Wakaranai.


Feels bad.

Episodes entitled Acperience are the ones you know crazy stuff's gonna happen in.

This would be the best thing ever. Or at least since the last series of Aria. Imagine if they got Choro Club for the music as well....

I might have to go hunting for a good Amanchu image for an avatar change again.

Monogatari S2 03

I was unprepared for the Fire Sisters/Hanekawa-san bath time assault nyan. Senjougahara's continued ethering of Hanekawa was also a treat. I'm glad that we're beyond the first couple of episodes so that most of the cast can get mixed back in, even though the interaction between Senjougahara and Hanekawa was fun while it lasted.

Shinoooooobuuuuuu.

Hmm... liked this ep more than the first. Everything was so non-serious that it came off as more of a Dragon Ball wannabe than anything else, with Not-Goku, Furry Bulma, and Dragon-boy Yamcha as the core group. Monster of the week guy was also played for laughs. Wouldn't really call it good at this point, but it's certainly trying to keep me from dropping it outright.

Not like that's ever been a high bar to meet, though.

Ohohoho the bathing scene was very nice.

Finally have some info on Kiba's backstory. That's some pretty rough stuff he went through, no wonder why he wants to get rid of those Holy Swords.

Ahahaha. If you can actually deduce anything correctly from that, I'd be very surprised. The way the two games are connected is...unique to say the least. Satisfying, though.

The peanut gallery demands more Miya Miya.
 
Sadly, nobody will ever be able to get their hands on any of these, because a certain girl has purchased every last one that was manufactured.

damn you kuroyukihimeeeeeeeee

i think we should hide that , because cajun is gonna want to get this one too.

You can travel to some places in the school to gain time. ( because the school isn't that small )

Also the 2nd game is NOT a sequel of the first game ..so you shouldn't deduce anything with this information.

omg crunchyroll finally offers a good shirt

Uhhh...nope they still dont.

Thank you! In the absence of being able to condense down Kozue Amano's scenery porn into an avatar, I make do with one of the many edits of the brilliant facial expressions instead.

Ichigo in shades does look pretty great though.

A friend of Aria is certainly a friend of mine. Firehawk likes it alot.
My avatar is actually Komugi Nakahara cosplaying as Ichigo. Either way, its adorable and I kinda want to keep it for a long time.

something something sudoku something something.


No such thing as too much fanservice (as long as it's not tasteless)! The female body is a beautiful thing.

I agree the female body is a quite beautiful thing to behold, but fanservice stuff just seems too blatant. It doesnt tease so much as go full out barebreasted naked mayhem and thats not fun to me. Maybe Im just strange.
