Danganronpa V3 Animatic

Might finish it into a full animation (not anytime soon)

IT'S DONE, I'M SO EXCITED THAT I FINISHED IT AS FAST AS I CAN I felt like I was having a Danganronpa V3 open book exam as I kept rewatching certain scenes to figure out what to draw ejfnend

I once said that my dream is to make a long animation one day- I feel I'm one step closer to that dream! 🥺💖

I'm really happy with how this turned out, I'm posting to mark my improvement from Kaemugi animatic (which had too many close ups)

I've been studying animations I like and some anime scenes frame by frame to improve-

I'm not good at storyboarding, I actually tried and gave up- So I just jumped directly into making the animatic

I feel I planned really hard scenes to do for final as there are a lot of dynamic and perspective poses ekfjejd ESP THE FIGHT SCENE that part is my favourite wkfjd I RILLY LOVE ACTION IN ANIMES I didn't think I could pull it off, it looks really cool in the end! I feel I'm not able to do those hard poses now, but maybe in the future? >:3

Just gotta keep working hard and be patient and one day I'd reach my goal!

Ending: After getting crushed by a rock, Tsumugi reflects in her final moments about everything that happened

The mirror flashes back to her pregame self where she is forgotten by everyone for being too plain, all she has is Danganronpa to keep her going

It changes to Junko to show how Tsumugi was so lost in fiction that she copied Junko completely and forgot about herself

The mirror then changes to Tsumugi herself in her current state to show that Tsumugi finally accepts reality

The reality is she is herself and the fact that the killings were all real so she doesnt smile and dies together with her regret

^I know this is not a popular fandom view but if I'm going to pour my heart into something that could possibly take years to do, I'm going to do something that I truly want for myself and not just what is most popular and most welcomed I hope there will still be people who enjoy this though, thank you for all the support!🥰💖

Thoughts:

-I want Tsumugi to lipsync the lyrics "I designed this rhyme" as it feels fitting of her role, the mastermind

-Himiko pulling down her hat before revealing she is crying is to symbolise how much she had repressed her feelings till now

This was inspired by a Warrior Cats animation btw! It's called "Swiftpaw AMV - In The End" by NekoVocalNote

I came up with all the scenes in this animatic myself (which I'm proud of akdjdj) but I was inspired by that Swiftpaw animation's action and how one can finish a full animation- I used the same song as it! My final is a bit similar to the ending of the Swiftpaw animation too!

The ATF Top 5. This was so hard! Get ready for a novel!

*Top 5 moments

-The Hat, the flannel and every time Peach wears it.

-Vee helps Jake quit smoking and all the soft moments connected to this storyline. E.g. Yoga and Thanksgiving phone call, taking a drunk Jake to her apartment.

-Jakes breakdown. The voicemails, the gift Vee opens down the line that is so personalised and her 😭

-“I need Jake.” After Peaches name is published. Peach let’s someone else take care of her.

-“I love you and that means something to me. So no, I don’t want you to follow me. I want you to live out your dreams. We'll be together. And when we can, we’ll settle in the same place. I promise I’m not going anywhere.” You smiled. “I’m yours, Jake Seresin.” Vee commits to a shared future that prioritises both of their goals.

*Top 5 quotes (I originally had 15 so this cull sucked)

Jake predicts the future

-He leaned in closer, his breath warm on your neck. “I’m going to make you so happy one day you won’t believe what you’ve been missing out on.” 

Jake’s Valentines speech

-“You’re beautiful, Victoria. So unbelievably intelligent and you inspire me and I haven’t been able to get you out of my head for months. I’ve never felt like this before and it fucking terrifies me, Vee.” Jake paused. You didn’t realize that you had been holding your breath. “You terrify me, in the best way possible. You challenge me and you push me to be a better man. I want to be the guy you think I can be, Victoria. If that means I have a fighting chance of being the guy for you.” “I want you to be mine, Victoria. I'm already yours.” 

Vee sleeps in the Jakes flannel.

-You’d never admit it to him, but you rolled onto your side and pulled the shirt in closer. And for a second, you closed your eyes and imagined that it was a tight embrace, Jake’s scent wafting through your nose, instead of the reality that you were going to sleep alone. 🥰

The fight after Jake says stupid shit.

“Why the fuck did you even come here?” you whispered. “The show is over. Fucking Oscar-worthy performance by the way. But look around.” You swung your hands out to either side. “There’s nobody here to convince. The curtain has drawn, Jake. The audience went the fuck home. Just like you should do. Because there’s nothing left here for you. You don’t give a shit about me and you never have. So why would you bother to stick around and pick up the pieces?”

Jake standing up for himself after Vee plans a future without Jake.

-Jake shook his head. “This isn’t about you not loving me, Victoria. This is about the fact that you don’t actually want me. Because if you did, you would have factored me in. If you really wanted to be with me, you would want more than a few months together. You’d want a lifetime.” 

*Top 5 smut

-Peach rides Jake. (There’s a hat on her head in my imagination 🤠)

-First time Jake eats Peach out.

He pulled you back against him, fingers gripping your waist. “Couldn’t help it, you’re so sexy. Knowing I’m the first guy who’s ever made you feel like that? Nothing has ever been so hot.” 

-Vee’s first blowie.

You grinned at him, slowly sliding off his lap onto the ground, kneeling in front of where he sat on the bed. Jake’s eyes grew three times their normal size as your small hands reached back up for his belt buckle. “I want a lesson in how to suck your cock.” 

He looked down at you as you pulled off, licking your lips, before taking him into your mouth again, this time a little deeper, wetting further along his shaft. “That’s it, honey,” he whispered. “Doing so good for me. Look so fucking pretty with my cock in your mouth. Oh my God, you feel like Heaven.”

-First time at the cabin.

“It was never about fucking you, Peach. You deserve more than that. I’m going to make love to you.” 

“The moment I touched you, the moment I first kissed you?” He paused. “Everyone else ceased to exist from that moment on. There is nobody else and in my mind, there was nobody else before. It’s just a blank slate, and then you. Nothing before you mattered, and I’m positive that nothing after you could matter much either.”

-Reunion sex.

“Come on, baby, let me touch my pussy. Been dreaming about this for months.” 

OMG OK well first off I'm obsessed with this no one has ever sent a full rundown of favs from a completed series of mine before!

I'm going to run through the comments!

Top moments:

The hat omg that one was loved by many!

The stop smoking storyline really took on a life of its own and I love that it brought them together! That very first call over Thanksgiving break was the first time we saw Vee be soft with Jake and I feel like that was such a turning point for her.

Jake's breakdown, oh God. The voicemails ruin me.

I love that he was there for her when all the SA stuff went down with the professor

Jake's confessions of love scattered across those few middle paragraphs really sends me!

Top quotes:

Yes that quote from Jake while they're dancing at the formal really sets the stage doesn't it!!

HIS VALENTINE'S CONFESSION. It wrecked me. I actually had that speech plotted out from the very start!

Again, the flannel 😍

Vee's speech after the fight made me love her so much. "Fucking Oscar-worthy performance by the way. The curtain has drawn, Jake. The audience went the fuck home." That's totally something I would say in the heat of the moment in a fight tbh.

Ugh Jake being sad that she didn't factor him into her grad school decision.

THE SMUT:

How can I rank these lol? I just loved all of their firsts together. I loved how sweet and delicate and considerate he was with her! I especially loved this quote:

"The moment I touched you, the moment I first kissed you? Everyone else ceased to exist from that moment on. There is nobody else and in my mind, there was nobody else before. It's just a blank slate, and then you."

Thank you for reading and commenting and being so invested in Above The Fold!! Means the world and I'm glad I got to share this story with you!
