Is This Real Life, Or Is It Danganronpa V3?

Of course this was going to happen. Of course. Considering my history with the Danganronpa franchise — and how much I’ve talked about it on this blog — it should come as no surprise that I am here, yet again, to blab on and on about the latest entry in the series: Danganronpa V3.

Having finished the game some weeks ago, I’ve allowed myself to bask in the V3 afterglow and to simply let That Ending™ simmer as I slowly processed it all. I have a LOT to say about V3 (then again, when do I not have so much to say when it comes to Danganronpa?), but I’ll keep more spoiler-y sections of my fangirling separate with a warning.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls -- Or: "I Knew There Was A Reason Why I Didn't Like Kids"

Judging by the lack of activity on this blog, it almost seems like Alex and I disappeared from the face of the Earth. (Spoiler alert: we probably did.) In my absence, I've actually managed to finish a couple of games (Surprise, surprise!), and one of them is Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.

At this point, my love for the Danganronpa franchise is practically public knowledge. So, when news of a spinoff featuring Makoto's younger sister Komaru -- accompanied by Toko a.k.a. Genocide Jill of all people -- came out, I pretty much lost all chill. The fact that gameplay heavily relied on shooting didn't hinder me either, because IT'S DANGANRONPA OKAY.

Fun in the Sun... Until Somebody Dies

Taking off from my previous post (which was, lol, over three months ago), this time I’d like to discuss the second game in the Danganronpa franchise: Goodbye Despair. 

The cover design may mislead you with its bright colors and tropical theme, but I can assure you, the despair in this game says anything BUT goodbye.
