Let's Play Danganronpa! (Part One)

When Something Awful poster Orenronen began translating the relatively obscure Japanese visual novel Danganronpa in 2011, it was considered too weird to get an official English localization. Over a decade later, Danganronpa is a multimillion-selling franchise and one of the most successful visual novel franchises in the west. It's one of the most impactful sagas to come out of Something Awful and also our first foray into the Let's Play subforum, so why not pay tribute to both by doing an exploration of the plot of Danganronpa in tandem? Jay has played the entire game and a good chunk of the sequel, now he just has to summarize an infamously complicated and weird story from a different language and culture in an audio medium. For this series we are joined by horror and anime expert Vanessa Guerrero from Game Grumps, who are currently playing through the Danganronpa series. https://x.com/nessguerrero https://www.twitch.tv/Nesguerrero https://www.instagram.com/snesguerrero The document with expanded show topics is available for review and comment at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-tyrzJOXF0m4lIrL49EW-1jIveX-4j2y14UNrnYG_Y/edit?tab=t.0 You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/SADanganronpaPodDoc For inquiries, contact the show directly at [email protected] Created and Hosted by: Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/ Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetter PO Box 2750 Ventor City, NJ 08406 Produced and Edited by: Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamster Intro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wonders This program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.
