So here is a cool thing for a holidays present, its not a update but its still something awesome, slowbeef from Retsupurae had a one-on-one 100 MINUTES talk with oren (the creator of the LP for those who don't remember) about Dangan Ronpa 1 on the Retsupurae podcast.
I just fully listened to it and I recommend people to do the same, its some good stuff:
Israeli accent? Interesting, I was wondering where he was from since he mentioned in the thread way back when, or so, that English wasn't his first language and neither was JP.
i typically tune in to Retsutalk, but it was interesting. Even though I don't follow the LP(I'd rather play the game myself honestly)
You know I don't really mind the SDR2 slower intro that much because we have DR0 here and that is really picking up the pace, there are some many interesting plot points being created, that I'm so excited on finding out how they connect to DR1 and 2.
Well, shit:
Man, so many paywalls. What's going on? :(
Ughhh yeah when I recommended this in the other thread this is what I was most afraid of…....uhhhh if its like the others it should last a week or two.
Just think that when its done you will have a ton of updates to read! I said this before but just think as waiting for a new One Piece chapter in the holidays where chapters take a while.
Has this happened before? Often? I've never used somethingawful before this and I guess I don't see how they can need the money with all the ads and users they have.
This is the fourth time this year I think, last two times it was in the DR1 final chapter, at the beginning(lasted one week) and then at the final trial(lasted two weeks I think) so that was really bad, from what I hear the first time it happenned was in the chapter 2 trial. This is only the prologue and its moving kinda slow so you won't miss much I think, now DR0 is another thing since that is moving fast.
I think it happens when many people without accounts visit the site so they put it behind the paywall to get people to sign up( I don't know if Dangan Ronpa helps, but the LP got more famous by the time the last two paywalls went up). I think the reason is because running the forum costs a lot and maybe some other things but I don't really know since I only visit the LP and anime/manga forums.
I didn't even realize it was a thread specific thing. I guess the LP gets a lot more traffic than the rest of their site so they might as well attempt a cash grab.
¿? It's not thread specific, at least not for me, I can't access any thread at all
Guess we can expect even more frequent pay walls once the anime airs.
Let's hope the LP for SDR2 finishes before that.
Almost 70% done!! I might make more if it turns out to be in high demand. It measures exactly 50cm in height, 30(ish) cm in width/depth.
I've been taking a break from the internet/LP stuff for the whole Christmas week to work on this, I'm pretty happy with it! It's pretty cuddly.
Ok that is sooo cool but wow how many things are you working at the moment? There is this, the Phoenix Wright LP and the Dangan Ronpa project…and that is only internet stuff, do take a break sometimes haha.:unsure:

dude…. that's pretty good.
I kinda wish that Dangan Ronpa wasn't so attached to orenronen's hip
He seemed like a fine enough guy, his translations are good and those scripts are his own hard work and I get that… but I would rather a community (in general everybody who enjoys Dangan Ronpa) not be held so tightly to one person on a closed off site ... which SA is deeeefinitely. It's basically a big glass house where everybody can see in but it's for sure private and only for a small batch of people-- I've been on and off SA for a long time and I've got no probs at all with it tho, in case I see negative towards it I'm not.
I just think it's not quite a perfect fit? Like it's sort of exploded from what it started out as, whereas it was once a lot like other LPs and had more user contributed discussion, now it's more of a de facto way of experiencing (read: the only way) the game itself.
It's just a wacky scenario. At first, the thread ended up making it a serial format where 80% of the general community was interacting with it on an update basis, like a manga, and it did help create that strong community as everybody banded together. That was kinda great. But now that it's also established, I don't know, it's not like the thread is much worth reading anymore at all (meaning people just go for the translations and leave) and the way it's being policed makes it kinda clear that it's just a big mess for that private community that's hosting it who doesn't want these people hanging out.
It's the only time I can think of something being that way.
I feel like it'd just be to the benefit of Dangan Ronpa to move past the thread, whether it be it ever coming to the west via PSN (lol) or like, some hypothetical Vita HD bundle or something (possibility?), or fan translation patches, or anything. The way it's being held right now is a bit too much emphasis on orenronen as a figure of sorts and I've been told (secondhand, I cannot confirm since I never saw but it was based on some tumblr reactions to possibly translating or bringing out other DR stuff) that he might be a little attached to the idea that he's basically got a grip on the franchise?
That seems a bit gossipy and I'd feel bad if it implied something that he wasn't, but i've heard it come up a couple of times.
Iiiiii don't know. He's done good work but I think we can all agree that it'd be kinda cool if the thread was more of a secondhand thing than the primary resource for consuming Dangan Ronpa. It would improve his threads too I bet, discussion-wise. If I didn't have troubles committing to projects like it I'd have thrown myself at the PSP hack to help them out with translations and scripts or whatever, if that's still a thing that's happening, but it's a lot of work and it can throw everybody else off if one doesn't commit hardcore, which is probably also what everyone else who played DR1 and DR2 on tumblr is thinking.

Oh wow I missed this
This looks really great starshock!
I can't speak for Orenronen, but he definitely didn't expect the popularity to boom like that for Dangan Ronpa. He simply wanted to share an easily-accessible english version of the game to an audience who were interested in reading that kind of thing. The immense reception was just a given, also I think it was necessary for it to be hosted on a site such as SomethingAwful due to it helping block all the white noise. Imagine if it were hosted in a public forum? The trafficking and low-content postings would be increased ten-fold and it would be too cumbersome for Orenronen to keep up with the discussions and questions. The thread isn't meant to be a hub for people to hang out and share random discussions, and it's very easy for the thread to derail into that kind of thing already. There'll always be Instant Message chats for that, or just forum threads like these.
I think I know where you've heard the secondhand source thing off of a translator's tumblr, but I've read Oren's original e-mail message that he sent off to him. The guy who received the email got the entirely wrong idea from it.
Also it doesn't help that the fandom is split in two major sides between SA and tumblr who hate each others guts(I'm sure some comments oren made in the podcast didn't help). Can't wait until the anime airs where more people will join this and it will get worse because I'm sure that will attract more people to SA when a paywall is up by then and shit will happen.
It's like shipping wars but even worse because this involves the whole series.

Yeah, you're right for sure. It's exploded in a weird way. With the first thread for a lot of it, I thought it was working out well enough. Like, thanks to the way SA is (being a forum that's kind of oriented to archival purposes in the sense that it wants to be a forum that READS well!) the thread covered a lot of discussion that made it kind of fun to read in that serial format.
It seemed tighter, the way people were contributing both theory and jovial fan content like art and stuff.
But… I don't know. Is it just me or has that kind of faded away? Like by the end of the thread, when slowbeef was having this big fit of having to shut down all that memery. And the way it is now just doesn't seem the same. Maybe it'll get better? Or maybe not, aahhh. That's why I was thinking about how I feel like it'd be to the general fan benefit if the series wasn't solely associated with the thread. I mean not because SA is bad, but because they... don't seem to quite be merging very well, if you know what I mean?
I feel like a lot of the people who are starting to congregate to the thread aren't quite suited for it, and the thread isn't suited to them, and it seems a bit divided, purpose-wise, as the thread acts both as the LP it was started as and then the only means in which this HUUUUUGE group of people can experience it. Maybe I'm sounding overly negative.
It's good to hear though that that secondhand translation tumblr business with Oren might have been blown up in a way that wasn't intended. When I listened to the retsupurae thing he seemed nice and well-meaning
I say wait until actual murder and real mistery stuff happens, its the beginning of the game where new characters are being introduced and stuff like that is always something that divides people because someone loves this guy but hates the other guy, especially when its a sequel to a famous thing, if its like DR1 the thread should become better when it trying to solve a mistery and helping each other out(unless it becomes like DR1 chapter 2 where wars hapenned there, that wasn't fun).
But yeah this thread had a real bad start and I think it's still trying to get pass that.
Was just browsing through the jp psn the game is one there for 60 dollars which is quite a lot I think…
Anyways I'm kind of still hesitating mostly because it only lists psp as compatible but there are quite a few games that work on the vita that you can only get by transferring them from the ps3 shop, not sure if this is one of those or if it just doesn work...
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. I don't think I can advertise this on the SA forums because of the forum rules, even though lots of people expressed a keen interest on purchasing one. Oh well.

You need to make it come with a PRESS ME thing in his belly that starts playing his theme lol
BOW BOW BOW BABOW
For the fellows who have SA account, how many new updates are there now?
Two SDR2 updates, we have just met the last of the new characters.
And on the DR1 side we had the rest of the Asahina free time events.
Damn.
Hopefully this Paywall won't last long.
Good new everyone, the paywall is no more!!! So go catch up right now on 2 and Zero!!!
It's baaaaaaaaaaaack! I'm off to read!
Edit: Don't worry not a spoiler, but this song is amazing: http://tindeck.com/listen/nqvd Edit2:
! I'm now also rooting for Akane (along with Nekomaru) because of this:[hide][/hide]
Chef guy is awesome.
Monobear pretty much just did "Awaken my masters".
How can Byakuya Togami not remember monobear?
Fat Togami looks down on thin people.
That nurse chick's badonkadonk in that bikini.
Delicious brown waifu part 2.
DR2 does not disappoint. I'm so hype.
I think it became even more evidently that it's not the real togami.
! He doesn't recognize monobear so this can't play after DR1. In DR1 he doesn't recognize monobear so that can't play after DR2 either.
But wait wait some of you might think what if they messed with his memories like they did with everyone in DR1. Well to that I say Occam's Razor, especially considered from a writing perspective.
Togami could pretty well be pretending that he doesn't know Monobear. Or he could be shocked that there is a new Monobear, I don't know how it was in japanese, but his line could be read that way too. And it couldn't be memory stuff because the way he acted here is different of how he acted in DR1 when Monobear appeared, also there is the being fat thing, I would think he would react waking up and being fat.
I guess there is still the ideia that it's not Togami but there is no proof of that yet.
Yeah I definitely didn't want to make it sound like that's proof rather that because of occam's razor there is just more stuff that speaks for it being someone different than not. I mean you're making a lot of assumption already just explaining his behaviour in this case and that doesn't even touch on why he's fat to begin with which I already said I don't think would go with the personality he portrayed in DR1.So it being not the DR1 Togami is exactly one assumption that explains everything which just makes it a lot more sound in my opinion.
Look here is a update! Now the real game can begin!
! I'm pretty sure Monomi is like Monobear and will come back, her theme is too good not use more….right?
I love some of these character sprites too!
When Nagito introduces the MC to Togami it seemed to me like Nagito already knew him pretty well. I'm going to operate under the assumption that Togami is the previous Togami and that Nagito is Naegi.
! Monomi is definitely going to come back, but at least she served her purpose by showing that the threat of death is real. Thus Monobear doesn't need to kill anyone off before the fun begins like last time :)
Also I think we should make predictions about the first victim and murderer.
^ I think fat togami will be the first to die as someone else suggested earlier. Reason for that? Mmh beyond it being the most fitting troll in dangan ronpa fashion none. In DR1 they killed off the supposed to be main heroine. Killing of the only character blatantly related to DR1 and who many will think would be vital to the story kind of fits.
Yeah also I'm going with Nagito kills Togami because of the DR1 connection, maximum trolling by Spike and the fact that Nagito is shaping up to be the assistant character and I can see he pulling
! a Maizono double cross thing but actually succeeding unlike her.
And yes that also means I believe that he isn't Naegi.
Damn, it feels good to be able to read the LP again.
My first impression on this new cast is better than the 1st cast.
A thing of note that I liked was how the game almost purposefully makes everything a bit more over the top, as if to play around with the idea of sequels that do it. Naming it SUPER DANGAN RONPA ETC 2 helps get the point across.
! Monokuma having those hilarious four beasts like he's Babel the II is one such thing. Everybody's personalities being a bit more out there might also be an intentional bit, amongst other things.
I have a feeling that the SHSL Classical Dancer is going to be awesome. Her sarcastic comments while pretending to be cute and harmless are really good so far.
Yeah I kinda agree that fat Togami will be the first to go. To add to what you guys have said there's a SHSL Yakuza who can play the same sort of role if need be.
Also a punishment specifically designed for a fat person sounds like it would be just the sort of EXTREME that fits the DR style.
Re Togami not recognizing Monobear, couldn't it just be the case that they simply did the same memory-wipe they placed on the students in the first game? The Super High-School Level Despairs seem to have magic powers, given they can breezily erase people's memories and make the sky suddenly turn overcast and dark.

Yeah…but then it just means he got re-captured and re-memory-wiped...which is kind of lame since it would just be the same as the first game.
But now he's FAT!!
If I was Togami and I woke up with double my size I think I would be a bit freaked out.
Who said they wiped his memory before he got fat

Our protagonist is not a such a good guy as Naegi it looks like. This will make the rest of the game more interesting that's for sure.
I've been thinking of who could be our first murderer which seems to be a bit harder to put down then victim.
But I feel like it's a safe bet that none of the people capable fighting will commit (our couch, swordsman and gymniast respectively). I feel that wouldn't quite fit.
For now I'm tending towards Komaeda since he like Maizono seems to be the one to have the most contact with the mc at the beginning but on the other hand I feel like it could be a few other people, too.
Eh, not much happened in that chapter, though I did enjoy Monobear apologizing for the slow start.
Dangan ronpa zero update http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3522115&pagenumber=86#post411498868 enjoy it
