#dr3 is the best in my partners opinion and im looking forward to seeing how the other games compare

[saint-nevermore]

im watching a playthrough of Dangan Ronpa (the third game) with my partner and i have thoughts. its definitely one of those things that were ruined by a fandom because they were too young for it. dont get me wrong, the characters are so out-there and unique they lend themselves to be perfect shipping war candidates, but there is seriously a wealth of artistic value to the games. watching through it ive been delighted with the artistic direction and sound design. the OST is dripping with personality and whimsy. its all around a fucking hoot to watch. its goofy and leans into the absurdity of it's setting without sacrificing sincere moments of the story. the murder mysteries are solid and engaging. Monokuma and his kubs are the stupidest motherfuckers ive ever seen and are hilarious whenever they show up. Ouma is there. ive had the most fun interpreting the ultimates as different flavours of neurodivergent and even if their role is short (i.e. theyre an early game victim/culprit) they have complexities. DR is genuinely cool as hell, if youve ever been interested in it i recommend tackling the playthroughs to enjoy the art of it - there really is nothing like it and i think we're all grown up enough to see the beauty in the absurd.

#i love when things surprise me witj being works of art. i never saw any kind of interrogation of the design in fandom #its a piece of media that begs for the characters to be scrutinized and explored so i get it #but ugh holy shit its pretty. and the soundtrack is incredible. #dr3 is the best in my partners opinion and im looking forward to seeing how the other games compare #also Ouma Kokichi is a fucking good ass character i hate and love his gay ass #dangan ronpa #raven.txt #also i watched the anime a Bit and i remember it being Alright #but it lacks what makes the series so distinct due to the shift in medium
