Well...
So...this show is pretty much all sex jokes and tampons, I guess..
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This is a show where you have to wonder what would happen if the MC actually tried to go forward with banging them.

But they had proven that fact long before AO.
AO was the final crime to punish those who refused to listen.
The StuCoPres is his OTP or whatever
I'm vaguely impressed that you managed to get through those last three episodes without once specifically complaining about Renton having Holland's voice (unless you did mention that and I somehow missed it?). That was the worst part of it for me.

Also, the Dark Knight Rises. I hope this means a sequel series in three years time.

The effectiveness of these short horror stories told in less than five minutes is debatable, but the paper cut-out style and the weird dubstep ED are quite special.

Arent these the same at the end of the episodes?
Hell if I know; I'm probably one of the only people here not watching the show.
*checks*
Well, the animation is the same, but it looks like there's different dialogue compared to the TV previews, which is more or less useless to most people here.
Fine then, I'll stop posting them. Didn't realize I was wasting my time on something everyone's already seen.

I just experienced AO through CorvoSol's pain and suffering.
By not watching it all the way through for myself, I can just pretend that it doesn't exist. =)

Ah, well, you see
I watched E7 dubbed, so Holland's JA VA wasn't immediately identifiable to me.
Lucky.

The dub was pretty good. Knowing they used Holland's voice, though, that basically completes the rape of Renton's character. I mean Renton was anything but cool in the classic sense, and Holland is all about deconstructing cool, and then they merge Renton and Holland (down to their hair), and make Renton behave like Holland in the worst way possible.
In fact, I think the worst part of this is that the final battle of Astral Ocean is ripped directly from Pocket Full of Rainbows. The Nirvash chase scene into the atmosphere with Holland throwing a tantrum at the Renton character and then a baby magically solves the problems for him.
Making Renton into Holland is wrong.
I hate this show so much.

Remember the BushiRoad anime? No? Well it was some ancient crossmedia mecha anime project involving a ton of companies including Gainax at the time which never got made. Instead the company formed for the project ended up doing merchandising and shit in the industry for the past decade. Well, now it's BACK!
Neppu Kairiku BishiRoad
Concept/Chief Supervisor: Takaaki Kidani
Original Work: Sunao Yoshida
Director: Masayuki Sakoi
Script: Norimitsu Kaiho
Character Design: Sinov Mimori/Mai Toda
Main Mecha Design: Niθ
Production Committee: BishiRoad/Bandai Visual/Kinema Citrus/Nitroplus
Looks like Kinema Citrus is going to be behind this. After Code:Breaker and Yuyushiki, I'm sure they'll do a good job with a mecha show.
Yay, Kinema Citrus in October! Looking forward to it, whatever it is!
Apparently so.
I hate quitting on series at the middle (I finished SAO for crying it loud) so I'm finishing Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. I have a hate/love relationship with this. Sometimes is good fun and I kinda like the characters, but I hate high school drama in any kind or form and some situations in this series are a bit too close to my experience for being comfortable with. Meh, will just watch the final episode and be done with it, let's see how it ends...
Edit:
SNAFU 13

Heh, that was a nice ending, I was expecting some melodramatic final, but it was quite the contrary. I don't mind it not getting any kind of closure, I feel it is fitting actually

God damn those Attack on Titan numbers. Reaching Gundam SEED/Bakemonogatari tier.
It wasn't just him. Gainax was also involved, Kou Yoshinari was going to do the character designs, Anno was going to be in charge of some animation or something. Then it all fell apart. But now it's BACK!
That guy is still credited with the original concept though, but it looks like Nitroplus is going to pick up the slack when it comes to the writing.

So should I read the E7 Movie synopsis on Wiki or something?
How do you fuck something like that up.
I have no idea. Did Corvo also catch the
movie-tie
Depend if you want to wait.
It's kind of difficult to tell at this stage since the Vita version isn't available anywhere in the world as yet. I don't think the game will benefit from HD graphics much (it's an ADV after all) and the additional modes that the Vita version apparently has don't appeal to me at all - I don't find the social link stuff in Dangan Ronpa to be very interesting so the prospect of being able to date the characters or whatever doesn't appeal, although I guess for others that may be a draw.
The fan translation is excellent. It is, however, illegal.
So essentially, if you want it now, import, rip, patch etc. If you feel you can wait, then wait. I don't think there's anything to make the Vita version a must purchase, but the game, while good, is hardly an OMG NEED IT NOW title so the faff of the steps to get it playable on your PSP probably aren't worth it.
The English release will only be Dangan Ronpa 1, but you're right that the Japanese release has both. And the minigame thing is some dating sim add-on, which frankly I don't give a toss about

I like how Hange is voiced by Paku Romi so now it's even more difficult to figure out the gender.

Probably. I wouldn't be surprised if Orange handled it, since they worked with Kinema Citrus on Code:Breaker.

Iirc all the PopTV jokes you'll see are because MTV fucked over the shows creators in one way or another and all of the gags are their "fuck you"

Wait, really? They're cutting out half the game?
hosannainexcelsis

Technically they're cutting out one game out of a two-game compilation, but yeah.
Basileus777

Yes. They haven't even confirmed that they will release the 2nd one at a later date. There's a good chance it bombs and we never see game 2.
And here I was thinking that the game would sell fine because it contains the sequel as well which isn't fan-translated yet. Oh well, I guess since NISA already dabbles in the anime market, they should know what it feels like to be selling something which everyone can already pirate months before it's out! Hope it works out for them.

I hope you stuck around for 14.
10,11,14,15 are the good episodes so far. The show is generally shit but if you stick around you might enjoy it.

It's basically a mode that lets you finish off any of the Persona-style "social links" that you didn't manage to complete in the course of the main game. It's quite helpful if you're at all interested in that content, because of course it's incredibly easy to get screwed out of finishing the SLs in the main game when characters are dying left right and centre.
While it's theoretically possible to go back and complete all of them by replaying chapters, it's also a massive pain in the ass, and I don't think I ever finished a lot of the characters' SLs in the first game as a result. I very much appreciated the inclusion of this bonus mode in Danganronpa 2, which let me efficiently work my way through the ones I'd missed with none of that stress.
Well, the Japanese version is basically an HD re-release bundling the two games that were previously released separately. Since the original versions were never released individually in English, it doesn't make much business sense to do the same for the English market when each individual game is plenty big enough to justify full price on its own (and including both would double the localisation work, which is going to be pretty hefty for these games anyway).
I'd only start complaining if the second game doesn't get a release at all, because that would really suck.
I never once lied to you.

Well, XSEED said they would release Trails in the Sky SC and 3rd C, and look how that turned out. At least Danganronpa is a complete story.

Well the few of us with vitas are starving for games, so we will hopefully all buy it.
