  1. Two danganronpa games.,,

    So you guys must be able to fit dr4 in there… r-right..?! 😰

  2. I didn't really like Akudama Drive, and I didn't really like World's End Club, and I didn't really like Death Come True. I like probably half of the things Kodaka has written for, being the mainline DR games. I don't really like Ultra Despair Girl's writing, or the DR3 anime either. I'm not that kind of entitled fan that would demand a creator only make what I enjoy from them, so I'm glad that Kodaka is exploring his passions and such, but I'm probably more doubtful than hopeful that I'll really latch onto much in this new thing they're doing.

    It kind of reminds me of Sakaguchi back at Square with Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, where Sakaguchi, a creator who had only tasted massive success with Final Fantasy, and a guy who valued creation and innovation more than anything, became extremely overconfident in his idea of the "virtual actress". He felt like he was going to launch a whole new industry where the future would be full of animated movies that casted established animated actors and actresses that could be licensed out for other films. It sounded ambitious and cutting edge, but it was just weird and not a good idea and it just faltered and died and cost the company millions. The idea of launching a whole universe all at once where you're trying to create a cinematic universe from scratch already sounds like a "in over your head" kind of project, that could easily fall apart from hubris. I think Kodaka is very talented but I think he's talented at certain things, and not all creators know what it is they're actually really good at, they just keep exploring their ideas and better understanding the medium and themselves. I don't know, I hope I love it, but I feel like I've been swindled into expecting everything from Kodaka to be great, when a lot of it just isn't that memorable. I could easily see this failing to actually have charming and novel characters by failing to strike the right tone or pacing. I think Kodaka's writing style works best in Danganronpa because the story takes place over multiple days, and most of it isn't that urgent, it's aimless and low tension during daily life, but in something like Akudama Drive, everything feels rushed and underdeveloped and they act like you care about things you feel next to no attachment to.

    In any case, I'll always support a creator doing what he or she wants to do, and this could end up being really fun and interesting. I just can't escape the seed of doubt, and I of course feel a little sad that everything I've gotten from Kodaka after V3 has been pretty underwhelming, but that was my fault for internally placing those expectations upon him in the first place when of course he's just a guy like any other, trying to explore and make good art.

  3. I'm gonna need to learn Japanese for this series. This is one of the few times I've been so excited about a series. A game, an anime, ANDa webtoon that's prioritizing story? It's time.

  4. Hearing the interview has actually made me more hyped for the game. Curing his statement says reassured me about the game will actually probably be really good

  5. Would you consider playing Worlds End Club, Weeby?
    I was watching some stream vods and you seemed interested in the game back then ☆

  6. For those that enjoy Danganronpa, I recommend Gnostia, its on Switch and possibly more platforms i can’t quite remember, its a similar vibe i love it

  7. I'm excited for this! I love Kodaka and uchikoshis new projects! They're all so interesting! (Also I feel like people shouldn't compare all these awesome projects to danganronpa. Let them stand on their own)

  8. The only thing I didn't like about Drive was that I felt like they took out hacker way too early to the point where I was left thinking he was going to come back and I hated that the main character wasn't actually some special person because in the first couple episodes they would somewhere allude to something special about her mind the way that they would portray her making split decisions

  9. This was pretty interesting, now I may give T9 a chance despite the action genre not really being my thing.

  10. I’m really looking forward to this game so far! After so long without new info, It had me worried for second that it fell off the face of the earth or something lol

  11. I honestly hope it’s better than Akudama Drive. When any character died, I was like “what? No way he really died! I don’t know anything about him, not even their name”. It was like random bullshit all around lmao

  12. Oh wow I remember watching the trailer so long ago… I thought it was cancelled or something…

  13. Weeby news I want u to start a series of the people that died were the blackened like Ibuki hiyoko sayaka Angie maki kyoko I want u to do see want you to see what would fit the execution how it would how it would end who they would kill on purpose or by accident and why and how

  14. I love seeing more info about tribe nine
    Not because it's "from the creator of danganronpa" but because I love the concept aswell and feels like it would be fun

    They're also trying their best to not be generic in story/gameplay aswell so that's exciting

  15. At first this OP was kinda awkward with the English phrases, but not until I listened to it until the end.
    I never realize that I'd come to like this song

  16. 11:27 am i tripping or does that look like a non buff gonta and kazuichi? im not even joking

  17. Now after watching anime, really disappointed with the character outlook, hope the game at least have beautiful sprite like in the game trailer

  18. The anime wasn’t great.
    I hope the game is better.
    fan of danga so they get one last chance
