Yeah, honestly I have to agree in the way the ships in ASOOT were handle wasn't the best; I think maybe instead have them spread out a bit more with some of them instead of all happening in season 1 in regards to the Cuddle Puddle (I would of been okay with Hajime, Chiaki and Mikan as there was build up while I think Hibiki should been save for the start of season 2), especially for those like Sonia, Gundham and Hiyoko who felt was pretty random/happen way too quickly which season 2 did try to fix a bit but yeah, I can get why people felt it was rush.
I think Hotel Akane was okay as the development was happening and I don't see an issue with it as I felt that was handle pretty well, same with Nagito/Kanata and Makoto/Iroha were also great plus the build-up for Kazuichi/Chihiro is handle super well too.
So yeah, maybe if ASOOT did have a re-write, I do think a lot of the issues in regards to romance would of been fix.
//I agree. When people say "ASOOT ships feel rushed" it really translates to "The Cuddle Puddle wasn't handled well at all." Because while I made this very clear in my Season 1 Retrospective, I didn't agree with a lot of the people in the Cuddle Puddle.
//Chiaki and Mikan had some buildup so it was only natural for them to be in the polycube and the same applied to Hibiki, but the others are like...no...just no. This is why in my ASOOT Video Game Draft idea I had the "canon" Cuddle Puddle be Hajime/Chiaki/Mikan/Hibiki because they felt like the members who mattered the most in the whole polycube.
//Sonia and Gundham could form a polycube with Kikue because I feel she has the best chemistry with them and it all fits the general aesthetic and then I would have Hiyoko be in a polycube with Mahiru and Honami. So everyone is still in a polycube but now they are in polycubes that make sense.
//Literally every other ship in ASOOT is done very well, but these guys are the ones who stick out like a sore thumb. And if you say Hibiki should be in Season 2 when do you want to slot it in? Twisted Sister time? That felt the most natural way to include her once Kanade had been dealt with for good ESPECIALLY as I feel in the rewrite she would have been flat out killed.
//It would lead to a more tense Let the Dogs Out as there is no Kanade to speedrun the whole thing and remove all tension. Especially as I mentioned in my Video Game pitch idea to have Kikue take her place in the CCK investigation team alongside Sonia and the Ultimate Imposter.
Yup, that's Kizuna for you Kyoji
Right and now I'm worried if those girls got pregnant or have STD without Miss. Tomori's knowledge, if they do then that be some extreme lack of self-awareness...
And now I wonder about the parents now.
Kyoji and Kizuna!
No thanks, I'm not interested in her...
Exactly, I'm not gonna even kiss that guy; besides he looks like too much of a 4-eyed loser anyway...
Or maybe I can offer one of my cheerleaders to him instead so they can have a good time instead, maybe Asami would be a perfect fit for you since you seem pretty weak-willed.
What...? I don't want that either, besides do you even know your offering them to do things like that?!
Oh trust me, they don't mind at all and besides they don't really complain to much when I offer or if they don't, they'll just be kick out of the squad; besides I'm sure all guys do like this sort of thing so it's okay!~
...! (I'm very concern about those other girls now if this is how Miss. Tomori treats them...)
*Holds a stick covered in mistletoe over Kyoji and Seiko*... I went a bit overboard on the mistletoe.
Wh-Wh-Whaaat?! Wh-Why are you placing that over us...?!
Indeed, me and Dr. Kimura are mostly co-workers then anything else but I suppose we should follow tradition...
I mean... unless your okay with that?
I-I don't mind, still that means I need to remove my mask for a moment; better make this quick...
*After putting the mask off; the 2 share a kiss which lasted for 5 minutes, Seiko puts the mask back on as she steps back*
So-Sorry, I'm not use to this; forgive me.
It's fine, if anything I'm a bit too busy with work but I suppose kissing and sex tend to be quite the stress relief so it was pleasant but anyway, let's get back to work then.
*After that Seiko and Kyoji go back inside as they get ready for work*
What is ASOOT?
ASOOT stands for A Student Out of Time and its a Askblog run by Mod Bubbles. The plot is that Hajime Hinata travels back in time from the end of Danganronpa 3 to back before everything that goes wrong occurs. Having all his future knowledge, he decides to avert history so the Tragedy never happens.
He is joined by other time travellers who also want to avert history and gains many allies some from the canon series, some from the Another series and some from NWPM/DTFA made by Mod Poi.
I love this askblog and the main reason I made my identity the way I do is to write reviews for it and its numerous arcs. I've been for the past 4 years writing reviews for it, but only recently has this blog been a thing due to Tumblr being Tumblr.
Currently I'm behind on its arcs so don't spoil anything from Dianthus Memory onwards.
Make Aika bite Kanade's ankles! She is Hibiki's guard dog after all
RAWGH RAWGH! *Aika is nipping at Kanade's ankles*
Oh can't my day get any worse? First I get tied up and half my insides get converted into candy, which has somehow regenerated itself, and now I'm being attacked by a mutt?
Aika isn't any old dog. She's sweet and kind and trained to defend me against all threats!
Which includes you!
Replacing me with a dog once again Hibiki? Need I remind how well the last time you did that end-
GRRRRAAAGGHHH! *Aika then lunges at Kanade*
ACK! This dog is a bit more to handle then Shizo was so I better get away for now! But don't think that new mutt of yours is safe Hibiki!
*Kanade runs off cursing*
Yip!
Good Job Aika! You will get lots of treats for that!
*whimper*
Oh are you worried about me being sad?
I admit I am concerned as I don't know what that version of my sister is up to...in fact I can barely recognise her now. And its clear she's up to something...
But at the end of the day I have you, I have Suka, I have Haji, Aki, Gunny and all the others around to protect me from whatever Kanade throws at me.
Heck I'm also a Ronin now so if Kanade thinks she can take me out she's got another thing coming!
Yip! Yip!
*Aika seems to cheer up from that*
I think that the main reason why Tsumugi was so hated in ASOOT was, besides the fact that she would turn the Quantum Crew's grandkids into mockeries of what they once were, kill god knows how many people with her killing games, and being in general an horrible excuse of a human being, that her actions in the future where she wasn't killed would have essentially made the Quantum Crew's efforts to stop the Ultimate Despair and create a better future all for nothing, in the process creating a world worse than the one the time travelers left in the Tragedy Timeline.
And I consider the Team Danganronpa Timeline worse then the Tragedy Timeline because yes the latter is bad but its the apocalypse, you expect the world to be a shithole. In the Team Danganronpa timeline though live just carries on but stagnating and basically everyone is living in misery.
I know Bubbles keeps saying Team Danganronpa runs underground killing game shows, but honestly I think these are more in public and life is so miserable that any teenagers that act up are thrown into the Killing Games. We already know Tsumugi hates the youth so the world will be a real gerontocracy where the lives of the youth suck.
We keep worrying about Extinction Events or X-Risks as they are sometimes known, but in reality we need to worry more about S-Risks or Astronomical Suffering Events. The Tragedy in a way was more of a X Risk but the Team Danganronpa Timeline is a S Risk where all of humanity is exactly as deprived as Tsumugi is as chances are she written the entire human psychology to be exactly like them.
This is why we fear dystopias so much because they are much worse then dying out.
