UTW is still looking for a typesetter for Dangan Ronpa, so their releases of the series are 1-2 days behind their usual schedule for releases. And because UTW is one of the most well-known fansubbing teams of this generation of fansubbers, it wouldn't surprise me if most other circles are leaving Dangan Ronpa to UTW. *checks* Yeah, from the look of it, no one else has touched Dangan Ronpa except for DeadFish, and their release came out after UTW's. Those two fansub groups appear to be the only two who are working on this, which means that you'll have to add ~1˝-2˝ days after the raw shows up before you can hope to see the episode subbed.

Episode 2: (placed in spoilers for those who haven't watched it yet)
Spoiler: show
Hmmm, kinda surprised they cut down the investigation part though I guess it's understandable why they did that. Seems like they'll give a lot of focus on the trial on the next episode (which they should!)

As for the pacing, it's not too bad. It may seem fast for some especially for those who have read the LP but I was surprised at how much stuff they were putting in in just one episode.

No, I'll be checking periodically throughout the day so I'll drop a comment as soon as they're up.

Funny because it's already out in Chinese and Portuguese -_-

BULLSHIT! Don't make me go and find the posts and/or PMs where you've explicitly asked us not to link to torrent trackers and the like.

I'm getting impatient. I really want to see the next episode but the only subs out are still the very low quality Dailymotion ones. I can't bring myself to watch it...

Your beef in the past hasn't been about specifically torrents. You've said you don't want us linking to anything remotely illegal. Don't you remember the time Pengyzu linked to Legend of Korra unofficial streams and you confirmed "No! " and so Loki edited his post? Don't you remember the time people were posting TPB links in the ASB TO and I PMed you asking you "is your anti-piracy policy still in place?" and you were like "omg yes get that shit out of there"? Granted, those were specifically torrents in that case, but I framed the question as an anti-piracy policy and you didn't write back and say "No, no, I'm okay with piracy, just not with BitTorrent."

I mean, you're the boss, Boss. ^_^; If you're telling me in 2013 that you're okay with people posting links to Pokémon roms and DDLs of anime episodes, then okaaaaay~ ... But I assume you don't want people to do that. ^^;

Kuno: I just want my Dangan Ronpa and I don't care how I get it quit interfering with people trying to get me my Dangan Ronpa animus Talon. T_T

He posted what you said "unofficial anime fansubs" which I don't really have a problem with? I'm not even sure what that technically means. Everything you listed I do not want. No torrents or roms or downloads which I don't think he posted any of.

So what you're saying is it's okay to link to streams, just not torrents/downloads?

/is genuinely curious

Episode 2:


Spoiler: show
Well... that happened.

First of all, no longer looking on outside speculation no matter how "safe" it might be, as all this did was prove Talon right and make me feel like a bit of a numbskull. However, I still can't believe it actually happened.

Even leading all the way up to the reveal I was just holding my head going "Please no, please no, please no, please no, FUCK."

That said... as utterly surprised as I am, I am, at the moment, 100% convinced Maizono killed herself. The look on her face as she sat at the desk was enough to in its own right. The DVD just confirmed it. She had no life to return to, her band members were "dead", or so Monobear wanted her to think (I believe it was all faked). How do you escape an impossible situation with no hope left for you even if you escape it anyway? Suicide. And think about the way she did it, too: In Naegi's room. Made it look like there was a struggle. Why? For Naegi to look like the killer so he could leave. That said, I think it is entirely possible she was killed, so I won't rule it out, but a lot of the evidence doesn't add up.

One other thing - the emphasis on the bathroom door. The only people who knew how to get it open were Naegi, Maizono, and Monobear. She was dead in the bathroom and the door was shut. That means either Naegi did it, or she killed herself. The big question in my mind right now though is why did Naegi and Maizono have switched rooms with the nameplates wrong? Did she plan this? What does Monobear have to do with it, if anything? Hell... could Monobear have killed her?

Killing her also does another thing - it frees up Kyoko as a love interest (it already started in this episode, she clearly knows he is not at fault). Which I'm okay with, I like her more ^_^;

Didn't like:

- Junko's death. How can they just kill off such a hottie like that?

- Pink blood. What the hell? Seriously?

- The OP... kind of. I'm not a fan really. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty meh as far as OPs go. The ED though, was just awesome. Favorite ED in a long time.


Anyway, I really enjoyed the episode over all. I really was not expecting that to happen, and I really wasn't expecting hottie's Junko's death to happen either.



UTW said they have someone coming onto the team next week so the third episode should be out at a normal time finally!

I don't think this counts as a spoiler but re:blood

Spoiler: show
the blood is pink because of legal reasons with the game's rating.

Episode 2 spoilers.

Spoiler: show
I can explain the pink blood thing.

In the game, the blood had to be pink because of weird Japanese rating systems. I thought it was weird at first too but it really grows on you. It makes Dangan Ronpa more unique, and it kind of adds to the atmosphere. I imagine they kept the blood pink in the anime to be more faithful to the game and those who had enjoyed the game.

I dunno! I definitely prefer the pink blood aesthetic for Dangan Ronpa. Maybe you don't. Whatever. Let's go eat ice cream.


EDIT: Kuno beat me to it. Oh well.

I'm sure I'll get used to it. Oh well. Ice cream sounds good right now seeing as this episode gave me a case of the sad.

Something new in episode two I just realized:

Spoiler: show
At about 19:35 in, the code Maizono wrote on the wall clearly says "Leon" upside down. Still think it might have been suicide, or this was planted to frame him, but yeah. I don't know. It's looking less likely. I can't really say for sure.

That said, I think it is entirely possible she was killed, so I won't rule it out, but a lot of the evidence doesn't add up.
I need to point out something very essential about the rules of the school:
Spoiler: show
The graduation can only happen if you kill someone and do not get caught. So if Maizono tried to make it look like Naegi did it...she'd basically be dragging him down with her, since getting caught in the trial as the killer means you'll die. If the group catches the wrong person, all the innocent people die. Since no one still alive killed her in your theory, they will all die if they point Naegi as the killer - or anyone else in the group, for that matter!

Unless she had a really big grudge for some reason, it makes no sense (in light of current evidence) for Maizono to have intentionally killed herself and framed Naegi for it. If she did, it's a very lose-lose situation, don't you think?

More musing over the second episode/response:

Spoiler: show
Yeah you're right, but I wasn't sure if they accuse the wrong person if they all die and that person lives or not, which would mean she set him up to be accused, he'd live, they'd all be killed for getting it wrong. Guess not.

Anyway... clues we see laying around are making things more complicated. The smashed crystal ball looks to point towards Yasuhiro... not to mention he was the most quiet of them all during the gym scene.

Sigh. I really don't know. The whole "suicide" theory falls further and further apart the more I rewatch parts of it and look at the evidence. After reviewing it all I'm just not sure. It seemed so plausible during/after the episode but going back and looking at things again... it just looks like it was Yasuhiro and he wrote Leon's name on the wall in her blood perfectly to frame him.

If that's the case, I feel stupid for theorizing suicide and this was too easy, but I need to rewatch the episode maybe to make sure there's nothing I'm missing outside the crime scene parts.
