People who haven't checked the Dangan Ronpa Let's Play recently may be interested to know that it has now reached the end of Chapter Four! (People who aren't reading the Dangan Ronpa Let's Play at all may be interested to know that they are missing out. It's got humour and mystery and endearing characters! ...who then kill each other and have breakdowns all over the place.)
There was a moment, at the end of the chapter, when I was one hundred per cent convinced that Kirigiri was going to make an attempt on Naegi's life and Naegi would accidentally kill her in self-defence and in the next chapter's trial you would have to try to get away with the murder rather than solve it. I'm simultaneously glad this didn't happen (because it would be awful and distressing) and slightly disappointed (because it would be incredibly interesting).
Although Dangan Ronpa is more than interesting enough already. I am loving this game.
Fedz, the chap who introduced me to Dangan Ronpa in the first place, has managed to download the game onto his mobile phone, but of course it's all in Japanese. A couple of days ago, we stood around![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reipan, who is studying Japanese, as she read out what the characters were saying in a variety of silly voices and then translated. She knew nothing about the game beforehand, so it was great to see her confusion.
Rei: This is too weird, I can't read this!
Riona: What is it?
Rei: He's - it's like he's giving a matriculation speech!
Riona: Well, yes, the evil teddy bear is the headmaster.
Rei: Oh, of course.
Rei: The headmaster is called Monokuma?
Fedz: Yes.
Rei: Thing-bear. The headmaster calls himself Thing-bear.
Riona: I think it's 'mono' as in 'monochrome'.
Rei: I'm going to call him Mr Thing.
Rei: (expression of bewildered horror)
Fedz: I think she's just found out about the graduation rule.
Rei: A student who kills another may graduate?
Unrelatedly, I was just looking through my picture folders and became quite confused by the names I've given some of these files. I think my favourites are a Waterloo Road Finn-and-Tariq screenshot named 'one for the "vaguely homoerotic fighting stills" collection' (number of vaguely homoerotic fighting stills in my Waterloo Road folder: eleven), a picture of Squall Leonhart named 'BUM BUM BA DA DA DA BUM BUM BA DA DA DA', which I think is supposed to represent 'The Landing', and this picture entitled 'come and save us the queen'.
Also, here is a quick Waterloo Road GIF I find inexplicably hilarious. ~ FEELINGS ~
