If they're trying to be on the down low, isn't it risky to keep using their real last name? I thought they were registered under their adopted mom's name but I guess not. Especially with people noticing that they look like their mom it seems like a bad idea.

Ai's last name was never made public.

An uncountable number, to be sure.

It's brought up in the first episode when the doctor first confronts the stalker. He wonders how he knows Ai's full name since no one's supposed to know that. Which in retrospect also explains why he himself didn't recognize her until she took her hat off, even though he'd been staring at her file with her name written on it.

2/3 of the episodes so far ends with a final shot of Kana Arima as the final cut. (not counting the long prologue episode)

director knows who the best character is.

Something I appreciated from rewatching episode 4 is how you can see Melt gesticulating too much with his hands during the shoot. It really helps sell how lousy he is at acting. :allears:

As a manga reader, I'm not going to spoil anything per se, but I have to tell you that the despair isn't over. This series is loving despair on a stick, so much despair even Monokuma would blush. Next episode is gonna be lit.

I might just read the manga to get ahead and not deal with weekly anguish of not knowing where the next episode will land. I get enough of that already.

Glad Aqua and Kana were at least able to pull off the biggest scene that mattered for that live action adaptation. Most adaptations don't even get that fortunate.

Pieyon’s segment went way harder than I thought it would when I read that chapter of the manga. That theme song alone justified this anime adaption.

Absolutely everything I was expecting from the episode and more. They didn’t have to go that hard on the Pieyon dance scene, but the BGM and everything made it. Was halfway to screaming ONEGAI MUSCLE every goddamn flex. And the scene with Pieyon quipping about his earnings to get Kana around to his way of seeing things was exactly as expected.

They originally released a minute and a half version, and then looped it when people wanted a one hour version, yeah.

Had to check if the length matched up with the timer that we see in the episode. Pretty close given that we see it stop just a bit before 1:00:15.

Yeah I’ve been looking forward to how the anime does this, because it’s an extremely depressing and heavy, and unfortunately all to realistic, look at how social media will destroy someone’s life for the smallest thing.

Also, this is getting a dub and some of the cast have been announced
