Type Video game series When: Summer 2018 - summer 2019 How I got into it: A friend was really into it, but I didn't really get into it until after I watched a playthrough of the first two games. Eventually I got Danganronpa V3 for myself and that's what sent me over the edge, so to speak.
What I like about it: Its wacky characters, the mysteries and its unique visual aesthetic and distinct music.
It started out with me thinking it would be funny to say she was my favorite, with a sprinkle of "It's kinda cool for there to be such a muscular woman and that she's not ENTIRELY played for laughs". That eventually became half of my reason for loving her, and the other half became how kind and strong-willed she is.
I like her design (I've a fondness for Lolita-type fashion) and how cold and clever she can be.
She seems merely strange and silly at first, but she's really clever and, even though I think she means well, rather manipulative, and I think that's really interesting.
He's such a sweetheart, and I love how much he loves bugs.
She's elegant and wickedly skilled at so many things, but there's also something tragic about her because she's dedicated to serving others to the point of her own downfall. (Also I think her English VA did a fantastic job, that definitely helped)
Ignoring that horrible, horrible reveal that they should not have added because good lord why - he's actually my favorite from V3. He's weird and a little creepy, but I find that charming in a way. And I like that he's an anthropologist, and very passionate about it in his own strange way. Yes, "humanity is beautiful", tell me more!
