Can you guess who did which character from their clothings? : )

You said "I did read about the interview with Narita (the guy who wrote IF scenario). Kodaka commented that Narita-san picked out many interesting developments that he never thought of." Could you link this interview? I'd be interested in reading it, if you don't mind.

This interview doesn’t exist online as far as I remember as it was done so long ago(in fact, many of the interviews have expired links) in paper magazine. The interview itself was in Dengeki PlayStation Vol.527. You can see the title to the interview here though: http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/540/540066/

I do have Korean fan translation for the whole interview, but I dunno if it’s going to be helpful to you.

Naegi's VA's comment on this week's episodes

Ogata Megumi, Naegi and Komaeda’s voice actress, does an online radio program. every week after every episode of DR. Some interesting things were said after this week’s episode

The radio after 9th Mirai-hen episode 1. There’s no class trials, no punishments, and no jokes around. Ogata thinks things are fun when there’s a gag character so she doesn’t like the fact that Bandai died early. 2. She’s quite surprised by the large number of underage people listening to radio. 3. She disses Naegi for doing nothing except riding Asahina every time. 4. Then she talks about some everyday stories that listeners sent. It’s the corner where she tells the listeners whether their stories are ‘Hope’ or ‘Despair’. All of them are gloomy but she says they’re all 'Hopes’. I’ll add them if people are interested. 5. Kizakura’s voice in the bonus drama CD was recorded before the VA passed out. 6. In aftermath talk Ogata disses Kodaka for killing Kirigiri off. She was somewhat suspecting her death in advance because Kirigiri had too many lines. 7. Sakakura really did die. She told everyone to watch Despair episode to find out why he died. 8. Ogata was surprised by unusually large survivor number in the opening, but she suspects that it includes Togami and Hagakure as well.

The radio after 9th Zetsubou-hen episode

1. The recording session place is in mayhem right now as well. Everyone is saying that they’ve been tricked by the creators. 2. One of the listeners asked Ogata if Nanami will be okay. She answered 'Erm… well… keep on watching.’ 3. In the aftermath talk session, listeners say 'Hey what’s with this week’s episode. It’s so shocking. Please give us some consolation’ and Ogata answered 'I think I’m the one who needs consolation right now.’ 4. Ogata asked the creators what Yukizome felt like when she was being brainwashed. They answered it might feel nice and comfortable, just like head massaging. There was a gadget for head massaging at the scene so they poked other VA’s at the scene. Nanami’s VA’s reaction was great, saying 'Huwaaaa’ 5. They had three recording sessions for next Zetsubou-hen’s episode. It was something they couldn’t record at once. It’s going to be awesome.

I wonder what she means by 'awesome’…. I hope it’s in a good way…

You can listen to the radio here, although you need Japanese IP to listen to everthing. http://www.onsen.ag/program/dangan_z/

You can listen to aftermath talk without Japanese IP though!!

[bamboo-woods]

Everything has been foreshadowed from the beginning. This pretty much explains the reason why 77th class don’t appear much in anime…

[strawberry-loves-cookies-deacti]

‘’ do you want me to kill him ‘’ 

um yeah this is why dr3 muku is ooc she would NEVER say something like this about Naegi .

[bamboo-woods]

The original line said was “Ko, korosuno?”

It could be either implied as

“Y, you want him dead?”

Or

“A, are you going to kill him?”

I hope this makes you feel a little bit better

[bamboo-woods]

My hopes for DR3 animation

I think it’s bit late now, but I hope it’s not too late to do this.

Hopes: 1. Naegi mentioning how sad Maizono’s death was in Future Arc. Then in the same week’s Despair Arc’s episode, Maizono and Naegi hanging out together merrily to amplify the sadness. 2. Naegi dying. Yes. I want him dead. I want him so dead. 3. More info about Maizono’s past or character. 4. Interesting deaths. 5. Kirigiri’s death. Yes I want people to die!! YESSSU!!! 6. Nakajima Kanon’s appearance. Or at least a glimpse or hint of her whereabouts. 7. Soldiers of Hope appearing. I wanna see those cute children again…!! 8. I want Asahina Yuuta to be mentioned too. 9. Interesting story behind Mitarai Ryota. 10. Izuru becoming the cause of Nanami’s death. 11. More Mukuro screentime. 12. Actual contents of ‘motivational videos’ DR1 cast received. 13. ‘How’ are all the murders being broadcasted. 14. More Naegi Komaru screentime. 15. Enough Komaeda screentime

Some things I don’t want to see: 1. Naegi becoming couple/marrying someone/spending married life. 2. No mention of Maizono at all. (Which I think is near impossible) 3. Crappy mastermind revealation. 4. Another fake-out death.

Will look at this list again after the end of the animation series.

[bamboo-woods]

I wrote this after like 3rd episode but I’m actually surprised by how much of these came out to be true.

Just to not cause confusion, I wanted to see Kirigiri and Naegi’s deaths back then because death in DR franchise means showing everything that character has got(Kodaka said this in an interview too). And since I won’t be seeing them after this installment anyhow, I wanted them to show everything they had.

Reblogging so that I can find this post much more easily later this week.

[kasael-deactivated20250929]

a <stunning tweet> about DR3 from Kazutaka Kodaka.

The brainwashing video Mitarai put on his phone in DR3. You know, the thing that looks like a kaleidoscope. If you look closely, it’s Buuko.

referring to Hifumi Yamada’s favorite character, Princess Buuko, the lead of Heretic Angel ☆ Mochi Mochi Princess. please feel free to investigate this claim, but I would believe it

[kasael-deactivated20250929]

update: here is the only pic of buuko I could think of off the top of my head

and here is a frame of mitarai’s brainwashing video

llets zoom in…

Oh Fuck It’s Her

[kaibutsushidousha]

Yamada Free Time Event 4: The italics are Naegi’s thoughts.

[…]

N: […] Of course, you really like this anime, right?

Y: Yes, because she is my saviour, the one who opened my life. At that time, I had no friends, I was nothing but the young lad who liked to draw. I only hurt those I touched… I was that kind of young lad fallen to the Dark Side. I would say my only pleasure was the one time talked to a class rep-type girl and said … STOP BEING SUCH A HYPOCRITE, TALKING SO KINDLY TO A CREEP LIKE ME!! I said it and made her cry… That was my only fun.

N: Oh god… I feel so sorry for the class rep… I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was traumatized by that…

Y: At this suitable time, I happened to watch an anime… That was, Herectic Angel☆ Pudgy Princess. When I first saw it, I actually found it foolish. I thought it just a vanilla bishoujo battle anime… However… I saw her… in my dreams.

N: …dreams?

Y: I dreamed of going on a fun date with Buuko. That was… soooo much fun… When I open my eyes, and realized that was dream, along with the despondency, I noticed that I was completely in love with her… I, wanting to taste the waifu’s love once more, immediately spent all my money in Buuko merchandise. […]

So, from what we can tell, Yamada didn’t even find Buuko’s show that good, but had his subconciousness invaded by her, which led him to love it with all his being and (claims to have been) inspired to become a better person. This writing enables Yamada to be retconned into one of Mitarai’s first brainwashing victims so perfectly it’s scary.

[jinjojess]

In other words, anime is a mistake.

[bamboo-woods]

Mitarai had been intending to make hope anime for a long time and you need a career to enter Kibougamine. So it actually makes sense if Buko was animated by Mitarai (although he was scouted by Tengan from what I remember) It’s possible that Buko was prototype for that hope anime but

this

Is

Too

Much

For

Me

*rolls on the floor with laughter*

[kasael-deactivated20250929]

I hate this

[bamboo-woods]

To be strictly honest, I think the creators just put it in as homage element to DR1. I mean there are a lot of element related to petty stuffs from DR1 in DR3. And they didn’t even consider about making the next installment when they made DR1 so…

I don’t think they really intended anything serious but I think it’s a fun conspiracy thing to develop.

[bamboo-woods]

Little something for Amami&Kaede fans. Official merchandise crepe. I dunno their ship name though.

I think there will be spoilers in the notes so if you’re avoiding them, don’t look

@jinjojess just as a reference to my comment earlier : )

[danganronpam]

Stuffs regarding next installment of Danganronpa

1. Kodaka wants to take a break from Danganronpa series.

2. He is currently thinking up of next piece, which will probably be adventure genre. (He didn’t say it was danganronpa).

3. He thinks V3 has reached the highest spot for a visual novel.

4. He said he wants to see DR made by someone else. He doesn’t mind handing DR over to someone else as long as sucess is guaranteed like Persona series did.

5. He really wants to make fighter genre game with Danganronpa characters if he has to make another Danganronpa game.

6. Kodaka’s wage rose a lot.

7. Currently, he’s not thinking of any sequels for any Danganronpa series. But there might be ‘pretty Danganronpa’ in production in the place he doesn’t know(he said this jokingly though). Japanese fans are wondering if that ‘pretty Danganronpa’ is a Danganronpa world where there are no murders.

So Kodaka’s next game will likely be a completely new one.

[bamboo-woods]

Wait, did Kodaka participate in conception ii???

[bamboo-woods]

For a briefest moment, I thought they were the same logo and was freaked out.

Thank god that they’re different. I wouldn’t know what to think otherwise.

[bamboo-woods]

There's still hope for Munasaka!!

This is more like a personal headcanon though.

People didn’t get it that Munakata suddenly abandoned all his social positions&powers and went off to somewhere right? Isn’t it weird that 78th class and 77th class got a happy ending while Munakata didn’t? Well here’s what I’ve been thinking. What if Mikan did a first aid on Sakakura too? She saved Kirigiri in coma, so why not Sakakura too? Then why did Munakata decide to drop everything off? Maybe to spend some time with Sakakura? I mean, openly gay headmaster won’t be acceptable by public standards(in DR’s world). Well, he could hide it all right, but Sakakura’s pride is high and he didn’t want to show his true sexuality to the public. And they can’t hide it forever if Munakata is high and important. So I guess Munakata is resigning to give new generations some place and to spend quality time with Sakakura. Then it’ll be a happy ending for Munakata too!!

Those are my wishes though…

[bamboo-woods]

Kirigiri Jin “Right, today was my birthday huh… I had completely forgotten about it. I’m sorry for making you bother. It’s a little embarrassing but… I like this. Thank you.”

Director Sasaki ordered Kodaka to write something because presents for Kirigiri Jin’s birthday had arrived. So this is what he wrote.

And Kodaka later added:

“It’s a story that ignores the time record, a stuff that ignores everything but, it would be nice to see a day when Kirigiri Jin and Kirigiri and Kizakura gather up and have a birthday party of their own. I really like dandy gentlemen.”
