The Past returns (1 Year blog special)
Lightning cracks across the sky just like it had done last year. The wind blows rapidly as trees sway while someone works on their computer, Akira has returned. His finger clack away at his keyboard as he chomps down cheeseballs. There seems to be an odd celestial event occurring, the sky swirls a bit as it looks like rain is about to break from the sky, but it does not.
Akira: The Samidare Paradox should allow for a weakening of the temporal barrier, at least temporarily.
He decides to test it, Akira creates another doorway, and focuses on a moment in the past before plucking someone and dropping them in 2022. As the mist subsides, a man with oddly shaped hair drops his knife on the ground.
What is this place?
Hello Mikado Shinsen..or should i say, chairman of the Victims Catharsis Committee?
His cold eyes look around the world. Something has changed, time had marched on.
So: The disaster which was foretold of came to pass?
Yes. Junko Enoshima rose like a force of nature...
he pauses as he looks at Akira.
If i were alive, she wouldn’t have. The Apex Detective would have sought to her demise. That was Samidare’s problem, she proclaimed to be about the greater good, but when push came to shove, she decided to save one life over billions.
If the Detective King Couldn’t stop her, then how could you?
I had connections, dear boy, an entire network of recruiters, judges, politicians, union bosses and oh so much more in my back pocket.
So, we should just kidnap Yui right?
No. We should set in moment an event to truly engineer her downfall. Not as fancy as kidnapping her and her loved ones, but one to truly end her career as a detective, thus calling into every case she’s ever been involved in, and once that’s over, she’ll beg to be sent back to where she came from.
However, the sky soon became unstable. The fabric of time was starting to unravel, the just didn’t know it yet.

Danganronpa: Hope's Chains - 4th anniversary
...Wow. Time is a cylinder.
Today is the 4th anniversary of Hope's Chains! To commemorate it I drew something I've been meaning to draw for a while; art based on the Stations of Awakening from Kingdom Hearts! I've always loved those and wondered what they would look like for my characters :3
Anyway. Yeah. Woah. Can't believe this project is already 4 years old.
Chapter 4 deadly will be starting soon, I'm very excited for it~
But above all else, thank you all SO MUCH for the support! It really does mean a lot!! <3

(Me) ahhhh shit it’s yomi bitchsmile-
Okay, all of you listen up. These people are gonna be our esteemed guests for a little while. You're to treat them with the utmost respect and dignity. Get some medics over here to take care of the blue-haired girl and the blonde-haired twink.
And trust me when I tell you that if you don't, I'LL be the least of your worries.
*The soldiers all look nervous under their masks, but they salute and make way for Junko and the others.
Honestly, I'm pretty surprised. I heard what happened to you a while back when you got locked up in Kanai Ward, and I'm amazed that there are still people who were willing to go with you even after all that.
Yeah, most of those bastards turned on my pretty quick as soon as they got the chance. Screw 'em...
*He turns to the rest of Organization Zetsubou after telling some of the medical team to take Tsumugi and Mikihiko for treatment.
I'm Yomi Hellsmile. I'm the director and leader of this town. I'll say it again, welcome to New Kanai Ward.
Yomi Hellsmile...If I remember correctly, there was a Future Foundation file I read on you a few years back. You were a major name in the WDO Kanai Ward incident that happened shortly after the end of the Final Killing Game.
The director of the Amaterasu Corporation Peacekeepers, who rose to power by working with Amaterasu's senior researcher, Dr. Huesca, to sell trade secrets and use the proceeds to pay other factions into supporting him. It gave you power over Kanai Ward, allowing you to cruelly torture and even murder those who did not follow your rules. Am I wrong?
Mm...Yeah...That was a long time ago. But you're honored guests. You don't have to worry about any of that stuff. I'm not about to boss around my old friends cohorts.
How do you know each other?
Well, Junko here was a...major benefactor to me during the early Tragedy years. Helped me keep my old city up and running even after everywhere else went to shit. We didn't have the closest relationship, but...we got along.
Trust me when I tell you that no one's gonna find you guys down here. We scratch each other's backs, and we all profit from it.
And what's your agenda, Mr Hellsmile? What do you get out of helping us?
...A favor. When you guys get back on your feet, I expect you to do a little something for me, m'kay?
Sure thing. Yomi doesn't want this place being found just as much as we don't wanna be found, so he's gonna work with us for the time being. Try to get along, ok?
*The other members of Zetsubou are ushered in by the Peacekeepers, and Junko hangs back with Yomi.
I know this might sound disingenuous, but it's good to be working for you. Thanks for agreeing to my requests so soon.
Well, if anyone can give me what I want, it's you. So in the meantime, I'll do whatever I can.
You should've invited me to this Zetsubou shit sooner...! I can't WAIT for the curtain call...! Kehahahaha...!

Danganronpa Rebirth - Voice Actor Headcanons.
So here’s the latest update of this little series on my blog where I assign official voice actors to characters that don’t have them. Today we’re doing another Fanganronpa, Danganronpa Rebirth.
Now as per usual, I need to point out a few things.
This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.
I am aware of RebirthVoices being a thing, and this post is not to besmirch them or their work or effort. This is just a hypothetical cast that Chunsoft would probably hire assuming Rebirth was actually a canon game in the series.
I did the same thing with other fangans in the past, SDRA2 and Blowback. Check those out if you’re interested.
This series ended up becoming a lot more popular than I initially thought, so I’m just gonna keep up the apparent good work. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy my ideas. Or don’t. Your choice.

BLOGTOBER 10/27/2022: MATANGO
Ishiro Honda's relentlessly grim, genre-bending thriller about mutant mushroom people issued me a challenge that I may have failed: Once the dangerously addictive mushrooms and their hybrid-human progeny arrived in the film, I rapidly lost my ability to think about anything else going on in the story. Much of MATANGO is a grimy, downbeat survival horror narrative about a group of people stranded on a desert island, a circumstance that causes their humanity to fall away, as does the malignant fungus that is their only source of food…and like, I don't mean to cast aspersions on the compelling script or any of the fine performances in this film, but I very much relate to the compulsive desires of the hungry cast of characters: More mushrooms! MORE MUSHROOM PEOPLE!
I'd put a spoiler alert on this review (if you're reading it on Letterboxd then I actually did), but when a movie starts out with someone reflecting on their experience from a mental institution, you already know it's going to get dark. Sensitive university professor Kenji Murai (Akira Kubo) reflects on the events that left him in such a place, beginning with an ill-fated outing on a yacht belonging to arrogant celebrity Masafumi Kasai (Yoshio Tsuchiya). The passengers are a mix of spoiled intellectuals and entertainers who stand in stark contrast to the sneering, fed-up crew of the ship, and the obvious tensions between them all boil over quickly when a storm strands them on a remote island where food is scarce. They take up residence in a beached spy ship that holds evidence of an experimental fungus which, it soon becomes clear, is slowly taking over the island, causing madness and mutation in anyone who dares to take a bite. This gang would have had no trouble turning on each other in any case, but the mushroom madness certainly doesn't help.
Make no mistake, there's a lot going on in MATANGO subtextually: The hapless survivors are ultimately the victims of international espionage efforts that spawned the killer fungus, which identifies war as the ultimate culprit, much as it is in Ishiro Honda's masterpiece GODZILLA. In fact, it's worth mentioning that the film was nearly banned in its homeland due to the resemblance of some of the mid-mutation makeup to the disfiguring injuries of atomic bomb survivors; even if this was coincidental, it's pretty affecting. There is also a lot to say about class tensions in MATANGO, as hostilities mount between the yacht's passengers, who get to think and play for a living, and the sailors who enable their pleasure cruise. Honda has further noted that the 1963 movie reflected on the rise of a drug-fueled counterculture, using the all-consuming mushrooms as a general-purpose metaphor for the ravages of addiction. But all that said…you gotta love the mushrooms. They're so great.
Production designer Shigekagi Ikuno (also responsible for the beautiful LAKE OF DRACULA) does a handy job of entrapping the viewer in the claustrophobic, mold-caked world of MATANGO, and he's at his best in the psychedelic mushroom forest at the heart of the island. Conceptual artist Shigeru Komatsuzaki completes the picture with his fabulous mutant designs, perhaps a little too well, as once I laid eyes on them shambling across the set, they took up all of my attention. They're just so cool-looking, plus who wouldn't want to live in their funky little forest with the fairy lights all around it? Actually, the one thing that's missing from MATANGO is an explanation of the disadvantages of turning into a mushroom. When we eventually return to the mental institution where the sole survivor resides, he ruminates on whether he shouldn't have just given in and stayed on the island. (He also makes some salient remarks about his own moral failings that may be reflective of Ishiro Honda's dim view of human nature, but I won't spoil them here) Everybody there seemed to be having a good time; sure, they were high on shrooms, but maybe permanently tripping and leaving humanity behind isn't such a bad thing. The vampy Kumi Mizuno looks like she really enjoyed her psychotropic snacks, which were made from rice pastry for the production by a local shop who added fun flavors just because they liked the actress so much. The attractive colors and the look on her face when she ate them really made me want one. Hell, I want one right now!

I just saw the new Middinos dresses thing. *sexy wolf whistle*
I'm not really one for fancy clothes. Just something sporty would do me fine.
Still, I guess there are SOME people who would prefer clothes like that...And I DO look kind of pretty...
It's always nerve-wracking going out dressed in something I'm not used to, even when it's hanging out with friends or on a date with my boyfriend...
It's not just me, is it?
I'm not very "street" and I don't really own clothes like this.
Well, next time we go shopping, we fix that. Because DAMN!
Kaito!
*She punches his arm, embarrassed, but tickled by his forwardness.
It's really nice to wear dresses like that in the summer! Especially when you live on an island.
URGH! Now I'm CRAVING a picnic! When we get the gang back together, we NEED to go on a picnic! With baby Natsumi and Ryota's girlfriend too!
As soon as we get her back, I am taking Himiko out for a nice dinner!
A-And not because I'm trying to force a r-relationship or anything! I just REALLY think she'll need it!
You should wear clothes like that more often Tae. It's a damn sexy look for you~
I won't lie. I have definitely considered it. I wouldn't be me without the gothic lolita look, but it never hurts to make a change.
