Danganronpa The Animation: General discussion thread

[Randrak42]

Just finished the game...basically one of my top 3 VN of all time now.

Looking forward to see how the anime handles it now xD

I know its normal; it was justified in Conan and Saw as well. I'm just saying that the cue seems to be the person who points it out first.

Question! Did you play the game on an emulator or on the PSP with the translation patch? Just asking because I'm thinking of ordering it from Amazon or download the emulator for it.

You have the right to be speculative regarding the actions one individual(s) make in the situation that they're in. At the same time it's still practically nothing to go on since no murder or anything beyond that hasn't come into play yet.

The first episode was to introduce the characters, the situation, and most importantly the drive to push someone or people over the edge to fulfill the "graduation" steps that Monokuma is pushing for.

Hey, that's great! Told you it was an awesome game, didn't I?



Anyway, did the next episode air yet? I've searched but all I can find are links to the first episode instead....

[Tyabann]

It airs tomorrow.

I just hope they finish the first arc or go on with bringing in the missing information I mentioned above, otherwise people will have problems solving stuff later on

Emulator has issues.

I'm also not sure if discussing the translation patch is allowed since there is now an official localization in the works by NISA.

I finished the game in the emulator, with no problem.

That bear is a great villain. It's Pedobear meets Two-Face meets Jigsaw.

And this cast is just loads of fun. I just love how its loaded with such pure, distilled anime archetypes.

As long as the show doesn't take itself too seriously, this should be a very fun watch.

Most of the less serious stuff will probably get cut, since most of it is not relevant to any of the mysteries.

I don't recommend anyone to read the manga btw.
Not only does it bluntly tell you who did it, but it also tells you how they did it.
So if you don't want to get an extreme spoiler on the mysteries watch a lets play on youtube or wait for the anime, and use the manga only as supplemental, after the show is over, as even the chapter names tell you who did it.

[Triple_R]

Well, if the show gets serious mysteries like Hyouka or Another, then that's cool. I'd enjoy that. Thanks for the heads up, AC, on what to avoid so I don't spoil myself on the mysteries of the show.

I just hope that the show doesn't go for the "Feels" in the same way that, say, a Key VN tends to.

I agree.

And not only that, from what I've heard and seen of the manga, the manga is not intended to stand alone and tell the full story, and is more like a supplementary thing for people who have already played the games. Even though it does give away the whodunnits too. So the manga is the worst possible choice for someone who's consuming the canon for the first time.

Spoiler for Episode 2:

It was incredibly shocking to see Sayaka getting killed off. I thought there will be a romance between her and Mikoto, and although I was sad to see being dead, I could overcome it since it was a nice twist to the cute heroine getting killed off. Also Junko was suddenly gets stabbed by something so mysterious I can discover behind it later on. Two dead characters are confirmed, and I'm looking forward to see the tribunal scene to come since Monokuma is presenting this setting to the students a bit. Let's find out behind what the next episode has to offer.

[hamazura]

I've played the game until 2nd case.
I take back what i said before about naegi is coward and maizono is typical heroine who cling into mc all the time and being protected.
Lot of twist, i can guarantee the story and progressing is nice
and for game player... sorry to ask this in here, cant find this game thread on other forum .dont worry its not about story, but gameplay

Spoiler for question about skill:

Is there any list of all the skill? Who give which skill etc?
I used my free time to hang out with person and its rarely give me skil, just sp.
And that person die soon -_-

Nope, its like Umineko or conan, basically its detective anime. unless there is no spiritual being like beato
not like conan which have few clue and complex trick and thinking to resolve the case. In this anime there are clue which not impossible for viewer to predict who the killer.
So its good to try to solve the case yourself before its revealed by the anime itself


Episode 2 is out already? will watch it later, will comment now, coz i already play the game

Spoiler for episode 2:

im soooo fvkin happy maizono dieee
So this wont become romance anime between naegi-maizono and always clinging eah otehr until climax, vs the culprit, and survive together

I hope not only 1 person (naegi of course) can survive this...
I hope asahina, the swimmer girl survive, she is so Hngggghhhh.... <3
and im sure cool person like togami and Detective girl will survibe until near climax... I hope so...

Another never had anything resembling serious mysteries. Hyouka made extensive reference to them, but they were mostly used as a framework for developing the cast.
Danganronpa is, forgive the phrase, piss-easy if you have any sort of familiarity with classic mysteries, but it's not so much about that as it is about the overwhelming style the game exudes, something I don't think the anime is particularly good at.
Also, massive plot twists. Several of them, in fact.

It doesn't really try to evoke strong emotion (other than rage at that damn bear) if that's what you mean.

[Iby]

OK I guess it's really time for me to take my PSP and try to finish it ASAP.

Spoiler for ep.2:
