Don't worry! Dangan Ronpa is also very goofy and I love this guy's work. Also I'm late. Yeah that youtuber has also been doing FMA abridged, he calls it nullmetal alchemist. It's short but I think that it's one of the best abridged series out there. I subscribed to him for giving me Dangan Ronpa awesomeness. Of all the hundreds who may have done DR abridged I'm glad it was him. Purpley eyes of One piece and code geass abridged fame would have been just as good. Didn't he make a spoof of Purple's "style" too? Yes, that spoof was the first episode of nullmetal alchemist which was just going to be a one off. It popular enough, and apparently he enjoyed doing it enough to develop it into a proper series. |

Huh... well that was odd. A third person shooter? I just hope it has some relevant to the overall plot... considering the fact that some of the dead cast members of DR1 are there, as well as some DR2 characters, looks like this could be a prequel. But how is that possible, since DR1 was the first time they met Monobear? oh, yeah, memory erasing. The protagonist also looks new, but I could also swear I saw playable fukawa/Syo spinning around and killing things for a brief second so who knows. But that's not the interesting thing. Apparently DR3 is coming soon if '... And 3' at the very last moment means DR3. But how in the heck would they be able to top DR2? EDIT: Actually I might be wrong on that Syo idea if you look at around the 20 second and 40 seconds mark, you may see the character I'm talking about if you look closely... looking at the hairstyle... is that person wearing a dress? I don't think so, it looks like... oh crap, is that character who I think it is? Better not voice my suspicions for fear of cataclysmic DR2 spoilers. Also, now that I look more closely the 'new' protagonist so looks familiar...I think super highschool level despair might be having a little bit of internal conflict. It even looks like it might be set in the Monoworld. It makes sense for Mukuro to be rebelling against Junko, but not that other person since he adores her. Maybe this isn't a prequel after all? But wait Mukuro isn't dead, so it has to be a prequel... but that wouldn't make any sense because... AGH! BRAIN! HURTS EDIT 2: Wait, it wouldn't make sense for Mukuro to be rebelling if it were a prequel either. 'Another episode' doesn't seem to suggest a 'what if' scenario, but on the other hand, that's the only way I can feasibly see this sort of plot play out without heavy and I mean HEAVY memory and mind manipulation or just a complete disregard for cannon. It looked like a really stupid idea at first but now I'm really excited to find out more about this game. Can't get enough Mukuro back story and he who must not be named back story, either. EDIT 3: Actually looking at it even closer, the second character might not be he who must not be named after all. It might be either Syo, or someone from the main DR2 cast. Who I can also not name. But the hairstyle only fits those two characters, because Syo puts her hair in pigtails. Alright. He who must not be named might have been more interesting but this choice seems to fit more, and you just gotta love a female cast for this. Even so, it doesn't make sense canonically for either Mukuro or either possibility for the mystery character to be rebelling against Junko's regime. They LOVE Junko at this point. In fact, I think Mukuro is the only member of super high school level despair who doesn't. Even then, if DRIF can be trusted, she even loves Junko in rebellion. This game is also going to be awesome. I also deeply apologize to Claxus for talking too much about DR2 things, but my speculation will not be silenced! EDIT 4: If this is Monoworld, then, especially considering the size of those bears, it seems likely that they are actually ordinary human rioters, rather than robotic Monobear units. That's an extra glorious level of despair for you. They may be psudo despair nazi's at this point but they're still regular humans. Actually, yeah, unless Junko employs people to control Monobear units, (highly unlikely considering it's much easier to just give them mascot costumes) or she is so gosh darn amazing that she can control about a bazillion monobear units at once, they are almost defineately human. The only hole in that theory is that one of the Monobear's in the trailer somehow ate Mukuro whole. Oh, umm... maybe Junko does employ people to control Monobear units, then. Maybe they were built bigger in order to better serve as combat units? As if the original SERIOUSLY needed upgrades in that department. EDIT 5: The full title is "Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo - Dangan Ronpa: Another Episode" Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo translates out to 'Absolute despair girls'. Looks like I was right. Mukuro, Junko, and a third character who I shall refer to as 'M' look to be the trio of central characters, if that title alone is any indication. |

Or it could be images.wikia.com/danganronpa/images/5/52/Naegi_Family.jpgEven though she doesn't in the picture, in the game she has an ahoge just like Naegi. That totally means she's shojo and not someone like Mukuro. The game may also just be a spin-off, who knows. I think the series is at that point where they can make anything and it'll get money. |

It's definitely a spin off. There are tons of Dangan Ronpa spinoffs, but I think this is the first spin off game.
Naegi family is an interesting idea but then I'm not sure where 'absolute despair girls' fits in. There also isn't a character in the Naegi family who happens to have the mysterious M's hairstyle.
Plus, Mukuro is just far more interesting in my book.

It's hard to tell because of the video's quality, but I thought Naegi's sister's hairstyle was pretty close. She seems a bit more on the cutesy side, which Mukuro really wasn't... And what about the Fenrir tattoo?
Just after 0:35 in the video... Despite the quality, you can't see any markings on her hands at all, and her hairstyle looks a lot more like a bobcut to me than Mukuro's style. And of course, signature shojo ahoge. I can definitely picture her being like a girly Naegi, never giving in to Monoworld.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about the tatoo... even so, I hardly think Naegi's sister is a despair girl. Or IS SHE!?!?!?! Even then she seems like an odd character to base a game around. Of all the girls in the series, as a consumer I'd either want to be playing as Mukuro or Kirigiri the most. And that's totally not Kirigiri. But whatever, it's there game. May be someone new then. She is reminding my of Mahiru from the DR2 cast, though, but the hair colour is off and it wouldn't really work anyway. I'm still convinced that I know who 'M' is however. Did you spot this character? |

A spin-off with Naegi's little sister fighting against the despair revolution sounds possible. The thing is, the title doesn't exactly match what the video shows, a girl fighting against despair. Then again, for all we know, it's an alternate reality where Mukuro never joined Fenrir and fights against her sister with an ahoge bobcut. And M, yeah. The spinning girl looked a bit like Fukawa to me. Paused a lot on it, and she seems to resemble her, but it's really hard to tell. It even looked like she was spinning with scissors, though. puu.sh/4nofT.jpgYeah, quality doesn't help one bit. But you can see it, too, right? Can't comment on who it may be from DR2, but the clip's so vague you might be right. |

My inital thought was Syo but on reflection, I'm pretty sure that character doesn't have pigtails. Rather, M seems to have long, black hair that goes down in multiple clumps, as opposed to the carefully platted hair of Syo.
I have a DR2 character in mind who it could be, but in retrospect I think Syo would make more sense as M, considering the character I have in mind isn't rebellious against Junko, and the outfit is also completely different even if the hairstyles sort of match. The other candidate for M is also from DR2 and has a very similar hairstyle, even the outfit seems looks more similar, but M looks like she's wearing a dress, and in this case it would make EVEN LESS sense for him to be rebelling against Junko. DR2 seems to prove that Mukuro is the only member of super high school level despair in the entire cannon to do anything close to rebelling against Junko.
Either way, it has to be a prequel.

So Dangan Ronpa episode 11 came out not long back. Can't be bothered to post it but I will say that I'm disapointed they didn't show the alternate route where Kirigiri is killed.
More importantly, The second trial in SDR2 just ended and I'll say to anyone who isn't following the LP- You should be following the LP, DR2 is just pure gold, I feel as though everything from the first game was improved, and that's damn difficult to do.

It isn't subbed and I'm sure it will be pretty hard to find since most anime sites don't have it uploaded yet but you guys need to see Junko's one minuet of animation at the end of episode 12. Glorious. <3

Sorry if I spoiled it for you or anything... Well the Who got spoiled (for Al to be so fascinated by Junko, there has to be more to her character than the 2 episodes before she dies), but the How was still a surprise. Now you must read/watch the lp to get the full impact of the story. I'm probably going to do that at some point in the future since I keep hearing how the VN is superior to the anime in pretty much every single way. |

I'm probably going to do that at some point in the future since I keep hearing how the VN is superior to the anime in pretty much every single way. Not quite, the anime does have great music not found in the game, (ok just the opening and ending themes really) Naegi fanservice which... someone must enjoy and of course, being an animation, it looks better too. Still if you have any reservations about the story or want to see it play out in more and better detail, then yeah the game is the way to go. The most disappointing things they left out of the anime were the free time events and the part where Aoi finds the Monobear control system and starts controlling Monobear for a few brief moments. In other news after much searching I finally found this.I wear ties in everyday life and I adore this tie... it's a little bit expensive though... but I've brought worse... I can't wait until I get a job with regular income. This tie will be mine, and I WILL seriously creep out those knowledgeable of DR! |

Just watched the last episode of this raw. Might take some digging to find it.
Despite myself I found myself properly crying for the first time in the franchise. Celes' death only came close the first time around. I mean of course THAT happens but everything else from Naegi to Junko was really well done.
Oh, also after the credits Monomi popped in from the side of the screen as if to say 'see you next time!' I think this confirms the DR2 anime. In an interview apparently the creators said that they wanted to do it and it looks like they're following through.

So in the end, the mystery anime ends with unresolved mysteries. I'm guessing I'll have to read SDR2 to find out what actually happens/happened. I didn't think DRTA was the kind of anime to go in the direction that it did with the ending, but it was pretty good. An inspirational speech about hope, always moving forward, and not giving up... kind of reminds me of another anime. |

That aside, it makes sense; it's hope against despair, a good hope speech was kinda called for.
Also, DR2 will answer many of your questions. Just gotta read it. |
