What the fuck was this shit?

On one hand I agree with you, but on the other hand I didn't hate any of the survivors for once and I'm glad they lived.

You have to watch the english dub to appreciate the kino

I want to be Himiko's familiar

But the final execution implies enough that they survived, and that would've been the perfect ending thematically
Hell, you can even leave the first part, what REALLY ruins the whole thing is the last shot specifically

half-hearted attempt to tie up the story of 1 and 2. The jumping between the future and past arcs should've been handled better.

V3 was problematic because the second through 5th chapters are a damn slogfest. Worst killing game in the entire setting. There's a stated reason for why its like this in the epilogue but it doesn't change that we had to sit through that shit. Your enjoyment of V3 depends on how much you care about the message and themes compared to its more practical elements.

>after her small hole
goodness no, i just want to cuddle

V3 is great. Don't listen to any idiot who tries to convince you otherwise.

The only part that really felt like a slog for me was the second hour of the final trial because certain elements became really repetitive. For fuck's sake I get it, it's all fiction and we apparently need to fix it with Hope vs. Despair for the 53rd time. Everything from the final Rebuttal Showdown onwards redeemed it for me though.
As for the other trials 2 and 3 were the slowest ones but it wasn't a detriment to my enjoyment of the game.

What I meant was broader than that. First, the motives in this game are the dumbest and most unrealistic yet, which ruin a sizable amount of enjoyment (the meta reason is because the mastermind is a hack), the killing game straight up rips off the same formula as DR1 and DR2 (this is, again, intentional), making it more repetitive and dry. Lastly is that the trials themselves aren't enjoyable because the minigames are the most extensive yet and detract from the tension. The lie mechanism was also inorganically implemented. There are many flaws with V3 and if you didn't love the cast, I can easily see how someone could consider the worst game.

I miss the times when we watched DR 3

DR3 was successful in retroactively making my favorite (DR2) into the worst game. Kudos Lerche.

fucking MEMES
This anime was simply wasted potential:the show
They singlehandedly managed to destroy a franchise several years in the making and truncate any future developments in that verse, so they had to make a new one, V3. Which proceeded to shit the bed as well

Character assassination for all of Dangan Ronpa 2 presumably from an author that couldn't accept that they were supposed to be shitty people who didn't get a happy ending despite redeeming themselves.

Wait so are you telling me the anime of v3 is as good as the LN?

Attached: 1478743892705.png (1776x4596, 3.89M)

Just like with any DR game the actual main "mystery" that gets solved at the last trial is always badly written garbage although I did enjoy V3's more than I did 1 & 2's but that's not saying much. The trials leading up to the end are more of the same. If you could stomach pic related than you should enjoy V3

Yeah I wasn't really feeling the motives either and I still think that DR1 had the best ones. I can live with the game recycling a few elements of the trial formula but I was hoping against hope that Chapter 3 wouldn't be another double murder for the third game in a row. Could it have killed Kodaka to put that shit in a different chapter at least?

The mandatory lies were nicely done but the backroutes were mostly complete ass. Instead of having a branching path it was just a couple lines of extra dialogue before looping back to the dialogue you would've gotten for using the right bullet. I caught on to the musical cues for the optional routes but guessing the right bullet for it was a total crapshoot so I didn't even bother on my first playthrough.

Danganronpa 3 and Danganronpa V3 are entirely different stories ya goofus.

It all depends on your opinion about identity as a concept and how butthurt over character anihilation you can get. On a scale from the mad despair of a fujo learning about Dilandau's true identity at the end of Escaflowne to the slow sinking, quiet disapointment and disbelief of a Cairngromfag who slowly comes to understand their favourite is never coming back because he never existed.

But... Its not related to Hope's Peak user. Did you even pay attention to the story?

Tbh that user is kinda right, because it was said to be a completely separate story that you could jump into without knowledge of the previous games
yeah tough shit, here's a spoilerdump

You still can since they summarize the essentials, but not playing the first two games softens the impact of the ending for better or for worse.

Yeah but if for some reason you believe in that and decide to get V3 as your first game then you basically don't have to play 1 at all since you learn literally everything, 2 isn't as spoiled but there's still a few (like the whole Hajime/Izuru thing)
but true, non-regulars wouldn't appreciate the ending or the extra mode as much

DR3 was just a cheap anime they shat out to give the series some exposure before the release of V3. V3 was pretty much Kodaka setting the fanbase on fire before leaving.

disappointing
not enough sweaty tanktop asahina

I hate V3 simply because I think the twist and setting are stupid (and the cases underwhelming). I never expected it to be a direct sequel, and while it takes place in a separate universe, its plot still relies heavily on the plot of previous games just for the sake of a dumb twist. Should have gone for a more interisting world rather than "Point-and-click game evolved into Demolition Man".

>tfw the dub compilation video on yt got deleted

I hope he did.
It's weird to think I was in university when he wrote this and now I have a job.

He just wanted to pander to DR2 fans by having them all wake up before realising "shit, should these merciless terrorists get happy endings just because they regret all the carnage they did?". And then came the hypnosis retcon.

Hard to say. I started getting suspicious when Monaca turned out to be a red herring. The moment Junko mentioned the word "brainwashing" in Despair 7 I knew where this shit was headed, but I thought to myself I'd just ignore Despair's existence and focus on Future, so the hypnosis sequence and all the other dumb bullshit didn't really affect me.
But then came Future 12 which I think is one thw worst episodes I've ever seen in a mystery story. The dumbest, most unsatisfying, most illogical solution for a murder mystery, which also made it impossible for Future to stand on its own as separate from Despair so now I'd just have to throw the entire DR3 into the trash.
I watched Hope out of obligation, and it was trash but at least it had that sick hide song. Juzoboys were the only positive thing that I got from this trainwreck.

That's what made him so great. He did make some good points, though, like the worst scenario being the attacker surviving and infiltrating their organization.

Which basically happened with Pickle Satan and Tengan. And Chisa.

Yeah, what the fuck. I have no idea what it's like to be outed, but I can't imagine it's worse than hundreds of people dying because of your inaction. And that's before it got even more ridiculous.

Lol the main reason he went off the rails
And it was all for nothing in the end. Munakata already had a love interest, Juzo simply had no chance crushing on a het guy. All he had to do was just say 'nah, she's nuts', but his big-boy ego had to get in the way. I just cant feel sorry for him acting like a colossal idiot

But he died from that.

Juzo didn't know what Junko was capable of. He didn't know it would escalate into a worldwide apocalypse.

Yeah. Shame. I wanted to see him get punted by Izuru. Junko stomping him was fun but Izuru doing it would be so satisfying

The whole game was full of call-backs to previous games, which even Monokuma continually pointed out.

Didn't he bleed out from Munakata's stab?

Wasn't he going to die anyways after getting stabbed by the katana? Chopping the hand off obviously didn't help but he had shit to do.
based juzoboy

I was talking about V3, not DR3.
Didn’t care for any of the two anime original survivors.

Did she had some proof or something?
I don't really remember much

>He didnt know
I find that very hard to believe considering that he was surrounded by several dozen-hundred students, worshipping Junko like cultists. And the fact that she was in Hope's peak at all makes her incredibly dangerous because she has an ultimate talent.
But leave it to the flaming faggot to fuck everything up to hide something that everybody already knew and nobody cared about

How did the bracelets work?

Literal magic. I have no idea how a bracelet can know when someone witnesses violence or they step on a shadow.

Kinda. He was pierced the blade, which should have destroyed several organs as well as his spine, but he miraculously survived to save Naegi, then suddenly he remembered he's supposed to be on the brink of death, even when he should have already bled out.

There are many things in DR3 that only make sense if the writers were just making it all up as they went aIong. I think they originally conceived the game as the mastermind watching everything through cameras, but then they decided that Tengan should be the mastermind and he's dead so the bracelets do everything by themselves. Maybe they should have put in something about an A.I, of sorts controlling the bracelets.

That would be great, too bad neither DR1 or 2 had any kind of AI. Wait.

the same as any technology in DR : it just works

I kind of wanted Junko to be more than just a Diva whose goals are conveniently accomplished with no particular coherence.

Other things that prove that the writers were writing by the seat of their pants are: Tengan mention the Kamukura project as essential to his plan (forgotten), Tengan talking to Hajime (didn't go anywhere), Chisa mentioning that teaching in the Reserve Course was horrible (didn't go anywhere), Twilight Murder Case (redundant in light of hypnosis videos and quickly forgotten), unexplained questions about the killing game, etc.

I know we consider this anime fucking garbage aside from the comfy threads but
What was your favorite non meme moment of it?

Junko was only good in DR1

youtube.com/watch?v=OYFm_84L6ck
>when the ED starts playing

The charismatic cult leader Junko mentioned in the games is something that we would have never gotten anyway, at least not with very good writing that is way above the standards of DR. I think Despair should have focused on the new characters, to flesh them out and also to provide clues for Future. Junko and her antics should have been kept in the background, to keep her mystique and leave people to fill in the blanks about her relationship with the DR2 cast.

Seiko's death and the student council massacre were great
youtube.com/watch?v=c80BzHE7EsQ

The Monaca reveal at the end of Future 4 was the hypest moment for me, because it confirmed for me that this was truly going to be the climax of every previous game. Then her episode came along and I realised it was the opposite; the writers were not planning in continuin the story of the games in a meanigful game.

Lostorage Conflated Wixoss' final episode and Game of Thrones' gave me DR3 flashbacks. Is there other franchises that shat themselves so much in the final instalment?

Danganronpa is always at it's weakest when it focuses on the overarching plot and final chapters that tie them together and not just the individual murders and trials. The writing quality just goes to shit and the ending of the first game never felt like it should be expanded upon, and so two whole anime focusing on expanding it was always bound to fucking suck.

It was to show Junko did nothing wrong.
Tengan was the true evil all along and was basically using positivity and hope as tools to gather control of the world.
Hope's Peak was merely a hive of Tengan as his students would infiltrate various industries in the world by drilling hope into them.
The Kamakura Project was his masterpiece in creating super human beings in the name of "Hope".
Hope's Peak and Tengan were the true threat the entire time.
Junko sterilized the world cause Tengan had created a spiral of fake hope that no other option was left but to use despair to combat the brainwashing Hope's Peak put their students through.

It's literally a SJW op from Tengan. Be positive, be hopeful and people obey out of simple social pressure, virtue signalling and being just. And if you don't follow blind you are the bad person to everyone else, which is demonstrated in how Munakata was so hateful to everything not hope. He symbolized how those drunk on hope eat their own if they don't obey fully.

Junko just realized the world needs utter despair to sterilize what hope turned the world into.

Tengan is basically Tumblr and Twitter while Junko is the likes of Yea Forums.

>It was to show Junko did nothing wrong

She actually did not.
The world in DR was fucked thanks to Tengan.

To exist? That's right, she didn't.

but I don't think she was consciously trying to undo his influence, she just caused the apocalypse because she felt like it and could

Yeah, she didn't deserve character assassination, like all dr3 characters.

She should've stayed a program. I can't put my finger on why but Real Nanami felt really off from SDR2 Nanami for some reason.

Tengan didn't even exist prior to DR3.

Because she's a different character, and because her very existence makes no sense and contadicts everything we know about Chiaki, like her backstory and personality.

yeah, DR3 Chiaki felt like a mary sue who only existed for fanservice while SDR2 Chiaki had more actual traits other than nice gamer girl

There was talk about making a new game with a new writer, but given that there's been no news in years, it's safe to say the franchise is dead for now. It's not like there was anywhere left for the series to go; neither DR3 or V3 let themselves open to sequels.

It is not fair that she is the only one that died

Attached: 38660698_p0.png (700x840, 795K)

DR2 Chiaki was also designed as being an A.I. based on Chihiro with the goal to guide the students, which explains her weird behaviour and lack of actual talent, but DR3 retconned her into being real, which made all of those traits make no sense.

this too. If they were already going to make her a real person for the fanservice they could have at least given her a good ending instead of just being Hajime's ghost wife. Especially if they were already going to asspull Kyoko living

"It's about lies so it can pull bullshit it wants and you have to accept it" is the worst thing to come out of V3. The game is not even remotely clever in its use of lies.

There are multiple things she said that certainly do point into that direction.
Junko did flatout confirm that Hope's Peak is the apex of Hope in the world changing it's atmosphere and how only Despair will save the world from the future that awaits.
She says the end justifies the means as hope is a preexisting path of harmony while despair gives the world unpredictability and a aspect of unknown.
That is why she talked to Izuru how hope isn't salvation which he learned to know how boring it is to have preexisting harmony through hope as he is hope himself, claiming only despair can help him from what Hope's peak did to him.

Junko did point out she is hunting down hope but also did say that the likes of her class as a new generation of hope can bring a fresh start.
And this did end up happening with Naegi at the end of DR3.

The best wild ride we’ve seen in like 3 years

>Like nothing really mattered
They figured out the truth behind the killing games despite having fabricated identities and were able to end the entire operation once and for all so that nobody would have to suffer through them again. There's nothing meaningless about that.

but when did she say all this? If it wasn't in DR1 or even 2 its a retcon for a character that didn't need a retcon since she was never meant to have complex motivations

>Tengan didn't even exist prior to DR3.
It's just the same as Delta from Zero Escape. He was spinning the web this entire time in the shadows and only makes his existence and impact on the overall story really known in the grand finale.

It's the same as Tengan. Not there in 1 or 2 and only at the story finale, he shows up.

She does say numerous of these things in DR1. People just like to miss out cause she likes to talk so much, so a whole lot of the stuff she says ends up lost.
It's like someone literally stands in front of you, talks endlessly and it being tough to remember a lot of specific things.

Mikan was hot

Brother/Delta is mentioned multiple times in VLR though. Junko never mentions Tengan.

I had my suspicions from the start, was in a period of denial during early brainwashing phase, and snapped when the entirety of the 77th class got zetsubo-ed at once rather than the natural development that was hinted at in the game and previews. Side Future was mostly good aside from some logistical horseshit, character development was nice

There is no guarantee that the killing games have stopped forever though.

Imagine if you were a pedo and it was outed and everyone knew about it.
Your life would be over.
That's what it's like to be [insert deviant sexual orientation] outside post-modern western society.

There was no guarantee that the world outside Hope's Peak was habitable until the sequel, and there was no guarantee that the SDR2 kids would wake up again until the anime.
Same deal with V3, the truth they deduced wasn't a guarantee but it's still a big possibility judging by the context clues.

Kodaka didn't write the previous games with Tengan in mind. Just like Mitarai, he's just a character he pulled out of his ass because he didn't want to use Monaca in order to fulfill the plot twist quota.

Shuichi and the others can campaign against them and or try to stop them if they start again

And the worst part is that he blames the audience for wanting always the same thing, when he is the one who can only write the same repetitive formula.

Attached: 1412477704276.png (724x481, 1.33M)

DR3 changed the meaning of despair to being mind controlled by Junko (and it's not even consistent in how it portrays said mind control). In DR2 the characters were actually in despair because they had hit a low point in their lives, and Junko took the chance to seduce them and turn them into extreme sadomasochists who enjoy their own despair and that of others.
But yeah, I think Danganronpa as a whole kinda misuses despair, It's supposed to mean depression and lack of desire to do anything, but in the context of DR is more like its cognate desperation.

>implying they didn't get shot as soon as they left the studio

The cast of DR1 and 2 defeated Junko, that was their main achievement that was guaranteed to help the world. The ambiguity of what the outside world holds or whether the comatose people will wake up was separate.
The entire accomplishment of the V3 cast rests solely on the assumption that people everywhere will stop watching a popular show because a character from that show told them to.

>ultimate despair
>use hypnosis to get people to kill themselves
why did DR3 go full retard when in v3, Tsumugi who was pretending to be Junko actually managed to talk people into wanting to kill themselves?

Except this is the Danganronpa universe.
>Kyoko outs herself as having baconhands when it's relevant to a case

>Hajime is openly NPCsex
>Souda is an actual whiteknight
>Sonia does various lewd things in the washrooms and nobody questions her when it's revealed
And there's more
Juzo was either a) a massive fucking pussy in this one instance that doomed the world or b) this is plot contrivance because the anime's scenario writer fucking sucked.

The moment in V3 shortly after Tsumugi showed the audition tapes and no one could muster the willpower to say anything or even come up with a plan was where I personally felt was the greatest embodiment of despair in the whole franchise

The purpose of the final Argument Argument was to convince those people to side with your cause and that's exactly what they ended up doing.
Now as someone who participated in Twitch Plays Pokemon back in the day I think convincing ALL of them would've been extremely unrealistic but Voting Time reflected the majority's desire to finally end it.

Source?

Shuuichi just convinced them not to vote, and they did it possibly because they considered it an interesting twist to the reality show, with an unprecedented conclusion. Nothing is stopping them from tuning in Danganronpa 54.

I'm talking about V3, where he basically strawmans the players as mindless tv consumers who watch the same predictable killing game every new season, when he is the one who constantly recycles ideas in each game and tries to brush them off with the games' typical self-awareness.

Because DR3 wanted to dindu the DR2 characters in order to pander to the lowest common denominator of the fanbase.

Juzo boys are reddit boys.

I'm at the last chapter now, having played all the Danganronpa games this year. V3 is honestly my favourite in pretty much every way. Soundtrack, characters and trial minigames, this game truly is a masterpiece.

>Kohacka is a one trick pony
Who would have thought?

The other big point that was hammered home about the outside world (if you choose to believe it of course) is that these people absolutely get off on Hope vs. Despair conflicts and have been doing so for 53 seasons. The whole point of Shuichi spending half an hour flipping them off and giving them the most disappointing ending he could muster up was so he could kill their desire for the franchise.
Not a perfect example but think about that one manga or anime series that you used to love but now want nothing to do with anymore because the ending was so shitty.

It's pretty good, get the hell out of here before people start posting spoilers, fictional or not

>entering a DR thread while on the verge of finishing the game
Leave right this instant unless you want to get spoiled.

You take that back.

You're right, I will leave and finish the game. I'm just really interested in Danganronpa threads.

And I swear to god if Junko really is the final boss a third time I will shit myself in disappointment

>Not a perfect example but think about that one manga or anime series that you used to love but now want nothing to do with anymore because the ending was so shitty.
So Danganronpa 3 basically.

>where he basically strawmans the players as mindless tv consumers
When?

The entire final chapter.

>spoiler
Too bad this thread probably won't be up by the time you finish because I would've loved to hear your thoughts on the last trial.
Exactly, but with just enough context for it to make sense in-universe.

The audience in V3 isn't us though.

>see a trailer for V3 back in 2016
>decided not to play it until a few months ago because it looked like an overproduced and unnecessary sequel
I get where you're coming from, but as someone who hates when franchises milk their cash cow series instead of letting it end on a high note I thought it was hilarious.

Sure, and the animals from Animal Farm are totally not the communists revolutionaries overthrowing the czar.

Kodaka is a liar.

DR2 and/or UDG were already high note enough to end the franchise in. DR3 and V3 were unnecessary.

You self-inserting as the audience proves you're both a cuck and missed the whole theme of the game. The point of Shuichi's big turnaround had nothing to do with some edgy consumerism message or artist vs audience, it was about how fiction can affect reality by influencing its readers through its themes.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway, I liked playing V3 because Kiibo was the protagonist, but my favorite season was Danganronpa 24, what about yours? I love watching actual people kill each other.

Adding onto this, technically the characters in V3 were still real people. It's not like Himiko is going to suddenly revert back to not being obsessed with magic after all is said and done. Their personalities were forever warped. For all intents and purposes, even if their pasts were fake, they're still formed by those identities.

Also Keebo literally turning out to be the embodiment of Twitch chat was a neato twist.

I don't remember the season but it was that had two culprits in one chapter. The trial was complete pandaemonium and the dual execution was the icing on the cake.

>cuck
Opinion dismissed.

>it was about how fiction can affect reality by influencing its readers through its themes.
That's a pretty redundant message. Anyone playing this game (or really any type of otaku) most likely already agrees with that concept as a result of spending most of their time on vydia and anime. It's kinda useless to make a game that builds up to such a self-evident statement.

>tfw voted for Keebo to lie down on the press
They should've implemented the audience surrogate survey years ago

That's kind of bullshit.
UDG is objectively unnecessary since it's a spin-off that fucks up its core message in the final boss (ending without hope or despair despite the game ending with a big hope bullet) and DR2 was unnecessary as DR1 was already a complete story and DR2 did not act as a franchise end in any capacity.
DRV3 does the franchise end much better by literally ending Danganronpa, as well as through its core theme of fiction or lies having the power to change or influence reality, while DR2 is just looking towards the future.
DR3 is the only unnecessary mainline product.

Can't they at least try to get their old memories back? It really bothered me how they just accept that there is no going back. If flashback lights gave them new memories, why can't they use them to overwrite them with their previous ones?

That's a good point. I wonder if they would have even wanted to go back though, seeing the footage of their past selves eager to participate in a killing game.

You literally inserted yourself into a narrative as a character who you believed the author to be bashing. I don't like buzzwords either, but you're choosing to be offended by nothing you faggot, it's textbook cuck behavior.
Almost all themes are incredibly simple and self-evident if you take a few seconds to ponder them. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. Are all "teamwork is good" stories a waste of time just because that's the message? It's in the execution that a story has value.

That shit hurt to watch. If someone showed me footage of an alternate me describing his edgy self-insert danganronpa OC then there’s no way I’d want to go back.

It's true that DR2 and UDG are not entirely neccessary from an objective viewpoint, but they expanded the world quite a bit (explaining some things from DR1 that didn't make much sense) and most importantly they told entertaining stories. V3's story was far from entertaining for me.

But your own logic ruins your old point in regards to DR3, as it also "expanded the world".
And V3 expands its own world which is far more interesting than "Apocalypse because Junko was horny"

DR2 and UDG expanded the world in a positive way of course, since like I said they filled in some holes left by DR1. DR3's "expansion" affects the series negatively because it retcons just about everything, ruining the characters, lore, themes, etc. It takes away from the franchise rather than adding to it.

>And V3 expands its own world which is far more interesting than "Apocalypse because Junko was horny"
This is more of a matter of taste, but I found the V3 world to be more boring than OG world.

DEAR BOY

YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, OLD MAN. YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME, NOR WHAT I HAVE IN STORE.

DR3 was already a glorious trainwreck, then they dubbed it.

If they don't want to go back to their previous selves because of that, then they pretty much can't return to society at all, since in the V3 world almost everyone is like that. Would have been better if they'd just died.

kiyo's motivation was so weak to me, it was mikan all over again. "oh by the way the reason this persona killed someone was this random bullshit that may as well not have existed until the last third of the trial". i don't care that he's bipolar or whatever or even that he killed someone, it's just that he was one of my favorite characters and it felt like he got done hard by the writers for no reason

I was so dead set on him not being the culprit because it would’ve been too obvious that I game over’d twice.

No fucking joke that actually aired on television. They left in her outtake and somehow didn't notice it until after the initial release. Given how fucking hilarious the rest of the dub is, I almost think they did it on purpose.

I love my gorgeous wife!

Wonder which channel it was on.

For what purpose

What's the deal with that?

To be fair, you need a really high IQ to understand V3.

The lies are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the cases will go over a typical player's head. There's also Kokichi's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Junko Enoshima literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these cases, to realize that they're not just lies- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Danganronpa V3 truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Kokichi's existencial catchphrase "Because I'm a liar," which itself is a cryptic reference to Jim Carrey's epic Liar Liar. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kazutaka Kodaka's genius unfolds itself on their PS Vitas. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Danganronpa V3 tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the Monokubs' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

I dont get dangan ronpa in general it's over the top but in a bad way. Hope/despair bla bla bla.

V3 spoilers, anyone else think it was really obvious who the mastermind was? It's pretty much a given that anyone who gets development won't die which rules out every character except tsumugi from the beginning of chapter 5 and kokichi was the biggest red flag ever

Danganronpa 3 was the most fun I've ever had on Yea Forums. Like, it started nicely with everyone hyped by their expectation, but at the end it became absolute shit. The threads though were magical. Man, I wish we could rewatch it.

V3 was really nice, the ending was really well done in my opinion.

Yeah, it was obvious from how she never came up as a suspect in any case, never did anything interesting and always kept a low profile.

I will never not be mad about his shit. Way to ruin a series.

Eureka 7 AO.

they tried to move away from it in v3 but just went straight back to it eventually. same with the hope's peak stuff but at least that wasn't real

It’s a literal meme series, they’re trainwrecks in a fascinating way but not to my taste either.

I thought there wasn’t going to be one at all until the bathroom was brought up in the last chapter.
