Heh, I actually linked to the DR IF translation several pages back. But yeah, that was an awesome story. Wouldn't mind seeing that get animated, personally. Well, the patch for it, anyway. The sequel's been out for like a year, now. |

I think they should have accounted for Mukuro's tastes for presents during free time. It could have been an alternate route in the game, where you're able to save her if you can prove that you can see through her disguise.
Some characters just don't get enough development in the first game. |

Yeah, I read If.
I don't necessarily mind that not everyone made it out alive. For example, the first victim got enough development to define her character in the short time she had, in my opinion. The problem is that Mukuro didn't even get that much until Narita's novel. We had no real idea what she was like in the game. |

Hey, so that annoying paywall over at Something Awful is finally down after about a month. And the DR2 LP has just reached the second murder! I said earlier that I would mention the LP again when it reached the next trial, but..... eh, this is close enough.
Anyway, you guys better check out those updates before the site gets blocked again soon..... |

Good thing I already played through the game myself, then! Went through it blind, sure, but I still enjoyed it! But more than anything, now I'm just waiting for an announcement for the next sequel or spinoff..... |

^Ah.... yeah, my bad. And I had even made that big spoiler warning myself at the start of the thread. Shame on me! Still, I guess this sort of stuff is inevitable when a previously niche franchise starts gaining a huge following.....
Anyways, for those that don't know, the first episode of the anime has premiered! There aren't any subs yet, though. Personally, I was pretty satisfied with the episode, overall. |

</drama queen mode>
Anyone else think the translation team killed the anime for the Western fans? >2ch/Douga sites "Oh man this is nostalgic, the VAs (Note: Maizono's Kirby in Japan, and Celes was Momo in Tama and Friends, and of course Doraemon etc.) and the BGM and everything. Brings back nice memories of when I cleared the game 2 years ago." >4chan "Lol it's so similar the game that it's a rip off and the game's superior in everyway anime's a shit, now I wish they did not follow the game so it's more interesting." YES I take 4chan to represent Western fans because I think it has a population bigger than here + MAL + ANN combined; besides, I have the feeling that people who experienced the game aren't that supportive of the anime here anyway besides a few people like marvelB etc. Meanwhile my current roommate who has never seen an anime in his life said the episode's pretty interesting when he watched the Chinese sub with me (speaking of which where's English sub? He probably would have a much easier time reading that instead ...), and that Maizono's cute but probably evil; his only complaint is that he can't memorize the names but at least he can identify them by their characteristics. He would probably keep watching it with me until he has to go back to England in a month's time or so. Hence the conclusion in the introduction </insert this-is-why-we-can't-have-nice-things.jpg here> Sigh, I will probably follow this series elsewhere; this is utmost disappointing because I got interested in the series here. I can't help but feel people would enjoy it a lot more if they never played the game now (kinda like nobody actually read the novel for Horizon so I don't have to deal with idiots saying how the anime team killed all Kawakami's "personal touch" during season 2).
