Have any of you guys played this game yet? If not let me summarize the gameplay for you, its like Ace Attorney and Persona combined into one bag. The story goes that 14 unique high school students have been kidnapped to a school cut out from the outside world, oh and its ran by a psychotic bear. The only way to get out of the school is to kill someone and get away without getting caught, basically the perfect crime, you investigate murders and present evidence you've found from the investigation to something called a "class trial" as you connect the pieces together you will find the murderer, guess right and the murderer will be "executed" guess wrong however everyone else but the murderer will be "executed". Yes there is an anime to this that came out a couple of weeks ago, it only has 3 episodes but honestly like most anime's based off games its usually the game that's better, the game is for the PSP and was only sold in Japan but you can buy the game off Amazon and translate it to english via a fan translation project: http://danganronpa.wordpress.com/ Or you can download the ISO for free with english already patched if you're feeling like a pirate. If you can't do any of that fear not for NIS has announced that they will release the game in America for the Vita in September. Check out the game! It's great! Oh and yes there is a sequel and it has been released in Japan but the English translation is not out yet though the site above said that they're translating the game right now as we speak.
I got it, but havent played through it yet because I have this giant back log. Premise seems interesting enough and there's an anime of it so I could always watch that. But I'd rather experience it than watch it mindlessly.
Same rout I went, I played the game and absolutely loved it, than I watched the anime and all I'm left with is....meh, it feels rushed, like most anime's based off games. I mean its not horrible as other video game based anime but, at least its not the Disgaea anime *shudders*
I think it's just a matter of pacing and I feel like that's the main issue with game adaptations. An episodic format is still better than squishing a 60 hour game into 2.5 hours though.
