Obsessed

[Wiccan]

Yeah um. I'm overly obsessed with Danganronpa. Especially Junko. in fact i have a strong urge to be her! (i hope to cosplay her one day, if i dont, ill die, wouldnt that just be so despairfull?)

DESPAIR WILL PREVAIL >:)
HOPE IS FOR THE SUCKERS WHO NEED TO BE PUNISHED!

So have you played/watched the whole series yet?

Just asking because it's relevant to any discussion of Junko. The order is Tigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, Ultra Despair Girls, Danganronpa anime Future/Despair/Hope arcs, and Danganronpa V3.

You also likely want to read Danganronpa Zero after playing THH and GD. There's a bunch of light novels, but that's the most relevant.

ok so.
ive watched all anime (except for 2.5, coz i find it hard to pay attention to sub)
recently got the games while theyre on sale. im playing through D2 rn, i know a rough summary of it. dont know who ahem.. "dies" but i have some hopes and guesses. oh shoot, im hoping people die. how despair inducing. xD
i read somewhere that Dv3 is an alternate timeline or something. so other than that one. i have a rough timeline of the events. and Junko is queen. she has drawn me to the side of despair. though i was pretty much there before i started.

I heard therre were novels. like one about togami that is supposedly trash, idk. and one about amnesia that supposedly doesnt have english translation but that could have been false info.

Okay, yeah, You definitely need to read Zero when you finish DR2:GD. I know there are complete fan translations of that one because I've read it. It takes place before the Tragedy. I will not vouch for the quality of the novels. I think this is one of the better ones, but it's still a light novel.

V3 is not as relevant, but there's still some stuff you might find interesting.

As for the anime, I'm fond of the Despair Arc for the characterization, but deeply disappointed at the "it was all hypnosis/brainwashing" ending. I really wanted to see Junko work at bringing down teh 74th class more.

*Class 77-B

I was disappointed that the anime didn't show Junko's systematic and lengthy poaching of Class 77-B into despair, because it didn't take near as short of a time that the anime depicts.

Otherwise, I thought DR3 Despair and Future were both really good.

Exactly. I wouldn't have minded the brainwashing combined with other tactics, but it really felt like a cop out. Here's Junko trying to prove that despair is better and .... then she doesn't rely on it for what she does to them.

Especially when DR2 makes mention of the fact that Junko convincing everyone in Class 77-B (except for Chiaki, of course) took MONTHS, not days/hours.

ok ok ok. there is one thing im confused about. please dont tell me the answer coz itd probably be revealed in D2, but how tf is Chiaka there! didnt she die in D3:D?
but like i said, dont tell me. unless its a plot hole, im sure ill find out.

btw. i havent got to the first trial of D2 yet, in fact i dont think the murders happened yet.... wait, last i left off monokuma called me to the beach, but then i had to get off.
ill probably start up the game in a few minutes. i've just been busy.

Yes you will get an answer about Chiaka.

Have fun.

[Runa Silvertongue]

It's CHIAKI. Not Chiaka.

[Wiccan]

Never fear, Magical Girl Usami is here!

Have an English translation of Danganronpa Zero volume 1:

I'm really serious that if you love Junko, you need to read Zero.

I ... do not love Junko. I'm more of a general Danganronpa otaku. But I'm quite willing to help others with more specific interests.

[Wiccan]

omg cool thanks. ill read Zero when im done with DR2. been taking my time with this one. kinda sped through THH coz its pretty much the first season with some small differences i made sure to pay attention to. im so slow with dr2 that im only now just about to start Trial 3. i lowkey do wanna go through it faster coz im super intreaged but i also dont really have much time to.
Anyway, thanks for the link, ill be sure to save it

Hi. What is Danganronpa If?

A free light novel bundled with DR2 that looks at what would have happened if Makoto won the Escape Button from the MonoMono machine before any murders took place. If I recall, it switches between his perspective and Mukuro's.
