      I'd love that too, but I guess that would be a lot of work. You can squeeze everything that isn't spoilery into half an hour, try doing that with all the spoilery stuff that's left. That would be of no substance or a full series of videos.

    If I say one thing: Please do not skip a game, read a plot synopsis of it, and then go on to say that its main character is just "one note". Komaru is an amazing protagonist, and she gets a lot of development throughout UDG. She's the OPPOSITE of one note.

      Komaru is my third favourite protagonist in Danganronpa, her development through the game was so relatable some look over her for how plain she is but that's what made her so relatable for me she's just a normal girl and to be dropped in the middle of the apocalypse you're going to have a serious character arc and at the end her becoming independent and forming a sisterhood with Toko was what made the game for me, the gameplay can be pretty boring but the puzzle solving, story and characters is a must not skip

      Obligating ANYONE you're morally connected to to connect themselves to a game like Danganronpa is...just impossible. The people I attempted that on were simply too spoiled and stupified (one of them most likely being too mentally disabled for their own fucking good) by their current lifestyles that they didn't have the mentality to open their preference to a game like such.

    When I first came across Danganronpa, all I knew was that it was a mystery game with a bear as the headmaster of a school. As someone who adores the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape series, that was enough for me to check out the game. From there, I've been in love with it. I've Platinumed all four Danganronpa games and loved every minute of it (although I do recommend people just watch the cutscenes of UDG as it's a nice addition to the Danganronpa world but a flawed game to play). If V3 is where it all ends, I'll accept that but I will be ecstatic if we get another entry. Austin is completely right, this franchise is worth your time.

      I can't agree more on UDG. It has a great story with good character progression with the main protags. Main issue is the gameplay itself sucks balls hard. It's just such a terrible and tedious 3rd person shooter.

    • @TXFDA
      @TXFDA 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't played the Danganronpa games. That's why I'm even watching this video, to figure out what they are. I didn't even know it was a mystery game. I kinda just assumed it was nothing more than a super simple visual novel. Essentially a book with pictures. So I never really bothered to look it up or try them out. Even though I have a PS Vita that I can get 1, 2, 3, and UDG on.
      Though, hearing it compared to Ace Attorney has me interested, since I loved those games (though I still gotta play the 3DS one).
      Zero Escape is another one I've heard mentioned around, but never looked into. Maybe I should check that out too. (Edit, just found out all 3 of 'em are on Vita too. Guess I'm download that too.)

      At the status quo V3’s ending set, I have to say it wouldn’t be possible for them to make another game in the series. The only possibilities would be like a prequel with you know who or a reboot. And you know what happens to reboots. So, I think it’s time for Danganronpa to rest as it stands for now.

    I absolutely adore Danganronpa, and I'm so glad you're talking about it. While looking back on it, it can be a bit janky in terms of writing and sometimes in mechanics or mysteries, the biggest thing I got from every installment was a fantastic emotional experience, an inspirational ride, and becoming attached to a ton of the characters. As weak as UDG can be, the character development is something that has stuck with me, as a fan and as a creator, for years. It really is unlike any other franchise I have ever played, and I've loved every minute of it.
    I do highly recommend revisiting Ultra Despair Girls because despite its jankiness, it really is interesting, has a great story and wonderful character development, especially for Toko, who is my favorite character BECAUSE of UDG.

    Just want to point out that although Austin does use 999 as an example to bounce off of to sell Danganronpa, I highly urge you don't overlook the Zero Escape series which is criminally-underrated as heck for how good it is. All three games (9 Doors 9 Hours 9 Persons, Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma) are available on Steam, PS4, Vita and the 3DS.
    Also about Austin's theory early in the video: Spike Chunsoft didn't exist back then. Spike and Chunsoft were still separate companies, where Spike owned Danganronpa while Zero Escape belonged to Chunsoft.
    Regardless, thank you for recommending this game series, Austin. Danganronpa is among my favorite video game franchises.

      Even with ZTD being not as great as the other two, I'd still argue its miles above Dangangronpa. It's not like I hate the game, hell I bought all 3 and fairly enjoy them, but it focuses too much on trying to introduce GAMEPLAY into simple actions that just convolutes and lessens the experience of finding a flaw in someones argument or putting together a rebuttal. Meanwhile, the zero escape series fully embraces that its a puzzle mystery and doesn't try to throw INTENSE ACTION into any of it's gameplay.

    • @hydranoid2009

      tell me about it. I got into danganronpa based on a review that SPOILERS:
      spoiled mastermind Junko, spoiled Genocider, spoiled imposter byakuya, spoiled that everyone was remnants of despair, spoiled the new world program, spoiled chapter 1 of the first game, and gave a couple spoilers for the end of hope's peak.

    • @BigFearedBalloon
      @BigFearedBalloon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah spoilers are pretty annoying. Also you may need to put a few more spaces into your comment. You can do that by holding Shift + Plus Enter (just in case you don't know how to do it, and for people who want to learn how to do it).
      Like this. Still it's annoying when people get spoiled Lucahjin has most likely been spoiled already due to a few spoiler thumbnails with character with later artwork not meant to be shown, she was given to use. and people kept telling her to delete it due to spoilers, which was a shame cause while it was for a good reason, it gives Lucahjin the inkling that it is spoilers.

    I do recommend watching or playing the rest of ultra despair girls because it's
    1.By far the DARKEST danganronpa story out there.
    2. It does wonders for toko's character. I used to hate Toko for being unrelatable and disgusting, but she transformed into one of my top 15 favourite characters.
    3.It explains so much about how certain events in certain games (not gonna say which) are set up and actually manages to give komaru a story by the end of it.
    4. It's also a good reference for seeing certain characters in top 10 lists and having enough knowledge about those characters as to know why they were on said list.
    I'm really glad more and more people are talking about danganronpa as it is easily my favourite video game franchise!

    Saw this video in my recommendation feed, and I just *had* to click.
    More Danganronpa exposure is much, much needed. Though not particularly favored for its gameplay, it's just a fantastic franchise that is unpredictably and arguably one of the better story-driven games in recent memory. This is so much so that Danganronpa 2 has become one of my definite favorite games of all time.
    I highly recommend it as well. There's just something incredibly charming and clever about these games and the way they tackle grim themes and cliche tropes with it's zany and unpredictable story and characters. It's ridiculous, but overly gripping. It's really something you have to play to experience.
    Thanks for the video! Danganronpa is such a young series, so it's only a guarantee that there's more to come especially as it only gains more and more popularity to this day. Kodaka really didn't mean he was finished, but rather he wanted to take a break. I have faith that Danganronpa will only become more and more known. It could really use more love and support.
    Also, Ibuki is ultimate best girl. You just know I had to do it to 'em.

And with how V3 ended, you could easily connect it with the rest of the Danganronpa series.

      That's where I got my start on Danganronpa, watch through the games with him until V3 where I played it myself since I actually had a console I could borrow to play the game. Man was it fun to speed through the game. I would also say it's a decently big reason why Danganronpa got a huge push, especially with some of the jokes, NicoB created.
      Still NicoB's voice acting especially in the first game where he was still developing tons of voices (voices weren't a huge thing before then) can be bit hard to start off since I know a few people who got turned off, but I think it's more you got to adapt to it a bit. Get used to it, and you get to see how the voices develop, jokes are made and new voices are created and developed. It's pretty interesting that way.

    The concept mechanic of Mistrust, the original concept game, allowed you to influence the outcome of the game. If someone trusted or, wait for it, Mistrusted you, it would change their actions, which I love the idea of. It's probably just me wishing I could change who dies because.... ;-;
    Something I think they could have done is instead of a schoolmode unlocking at the end of the game, you could play distrust mode, which could change free time from a fun character interaction, to something that allows you to build or lose trust, this influencing the outcome. It would be clear the main, canon story, is the main game, but it would be a cool side mode (better than the school mode I think) that would allow for more interesting character building and interactions.

      tantheman_13 mmmm I honestly think it's the best game, with the best characters. Even though I'm a super hater of the ending, the characters are really really good, and the story is, just like the other games, super interesting.

      Mason Moore I forgot what it's called, but I'd have to say either New World Order. Got pure chills from that song when everything started popping off, despair syndrome, or maybe even monokumas acid trip music. Nothing can beat the "Bwaabwaabwaabooooo" for the vocals

      The PSP game part 1,, the menu screen, the soundtrack which plays at that moment and the Monokuma theme... are both EXCELLENT no wait, i mean PERRRRRRFECT (but i mean the PSP game, i heard different versions on youtube who claims being original and not a remix, but its still sounded like a remix, awful. The PSP version main theme and Monokumas theme are the best....if you ask me, every other soundtrack is great, but these 2 shine among them...^^)

    • @otaking3582

      Mr. DD In the days leading up to homecoming and prom in American high schools, girls will usually wear mums around their neck, which are basically just fake flowers tied up in a ribbon. In Texas, however, it's common for girls to glue a bunch of crap to their mums, such as small toys, lights, and litteral bells and whistles. Why they do this, I have no idea

      As a Texan who did got to HS here, seeing that picture did not surprise me. In my school, I actually wore 3 mums my senior year, but that was nothing compared to the Head cheerleader lol. She looked like one of those girls in that picture. I was able to get mums because my cousins made them.

    i started danganronpa after seeing a lot of my friends talk about it and holy HELL it's insane. i'm half-way through trigger happy havoc and i fell in LOVE! a thing i really like about the series is the unpredictability, especially of the deaths, and the free time makes it SO MUCH BETTER. knowing that the characters you're so invested in could die at any moment and there's hardly any way of knowing who until it happens is kinda heart-wrenching. also, the killers are really unpredictable but once they and their motives have been revealed it's just,,,, yeah

  • @JBX07

    Okay fine, I'll give Dangan another crack. I usually steer clear of anything that Tumblr likes (Homestuck) but since Austin likes it I'll try again.

      I mean, I have a tumblr but I haven't updated it in years. The site isn't all crazies, I posted lewd art I drew for a while on it so I just stuck around the artist side of things.

    • @crossfiremisty8530
      @crossfiremisty8530 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Don’t pay any mind to Tumblr. Danganronpa has really interesting plot lines and characters. The series surprisingly had depth, which really shocked me. You should definitely give it another go.

    • @Mariachiara_98
      @Mariachiara_98 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Your experience on tumblr is entirely based on who you follow lol. Ive been on the site for years and I rarely see discourse or any other kind of that shit, I just followed people with my same interests and content creators that I like and im having a really fun, extrenely chill time there. that being said, the danganronpa tag is full of amazing artists and theories and other incredible stuff but it's also a bit..... unique, to put it kindly. But yeah, dont give up on the series just because of tumblr. This series is worth so much more than that
