Goddammit, Super High-school Level Detective Conan is going to distract the hell out of me during every single one of his voiced segments. Takayama didn't even try to change up the voice(presumably on purpose, but still).


And for all the attention paid to Fat Togami, I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a reaction to Sakura Fukawa(with a dash of Ishimaru's crazy eyes). I'm torn between the writers running with the honorable warrior schtick again or making her evil specifically to go against that(and to go with the red eyes).

I'm not sure where you're getting Sakura from. Fukawa sure, and I can see Celes' hair ribbons or colour scheme, but that hair is clearly Kirigiri's.

I can't help but think SHSL Librarian every time I look at her, though.

Also, is Fedule helping with the translation or is it just editing? I didn't really understand what you meant with "rewriting the translation". Do you mean "retranslating"?
Keep it up!

I don't speak a word of Japanese (at least, that I haven't pieced together from Dangan Ronpa). I'm strictly an editor, not a translator. What happens is, oren will do an initial translation which will be mostly flat but at least decipherable, and I will rewrite lines one at a time in (essentially) my own words, in order to make them read better in English.

Stay tuned for some utterly spellbinding discussion about moving words around in sentences.

I'm getting Sakura from the fact that she appears to be carrying a kendo stick on her back, so she stole Fukawa's design and Sakura's olde fashionede warriore schtick. :v: (Now watch as I'm wrong and she's a valley girl who just, like, carries that stick around for fashion, y'know?)

The thing that immediately jumped out at me regarding chef guy is that his facial design is almost exactly like the plant-loving guy from the concept art who never got used in the original game. Not sure where the idea came from that he's going to be the first murderer though. If anything, I'd probably expect it to be one of the more ordinary-looking ones, just to throw everyone off yet again.
People are overthinking the chef's design. Well, all of the designs, really but especially that guy(?). He's meant to resemble a food company mascot. Think Betty Crocker, or something like that.

I think the Chef guy would be the first to die, or just won't stick around till the end (provided that there will be a group that makes it till the end and not just one guy left standing).

Fatogami is hilarious and the red eyes chick is my current favorite.

Oh my word all these character designs I instantly love. Though aside from Fatogami and the hoodie guy (and I guess that girl who has Kirigiri-esque hair), I don't really see the similarities too much.
Actually funnily enough those were the two characters I'd already seen. Fatogami from a glimpse at a promo video before I decided it was best not to, and the other from a tumblr post my friend reblogged.


This girl I instantly love in the same way I did Celes.
Though actually the only designs I'm not too fond of are the chef's and Fatogami's, though I get the feeling they're going to grow on me.
