Damn the voice of that elephant thing, that narrates the pv was so annoying, couldn't get past 15 seconds of it.

Yamaguchi sounds like he's having a blast in this trailer. It's like Persona 4's Kuma (Teddie) doing an impersonation of Danganronpa's Monokuma.

Definitely interested in seeing how this game turns out.

They could've chosen someone better to be Doripaku... That voice of his is so irritating, I stopped watching the PV halfway through. Oh well...At least the character designs look fantastic. Smile

The random inclusion of Kappei Yamaguchi who I haven't heard from in years is a hilarious surprise.

Wow, Teddie must be really upset at the lack of a new "P4" spin-off.

In all seriousness, I don't expect this to be great or anything, but here's hoping it's at least decent.

Not really interested in playing it, but the character designs for the ladies meet with my approval.

Which is something, considering Kappei Yamaguchi is normally really good.

Reminds me of Danganronpa. Could be funny.

...this is a hilariously transparent attempt at riding DanganRonpa's coat-tails. I mean, I'm not saying DR invented the death/survival game thing by any means, but the way its all framed here, and that tapir thing being the saddest bargain bin Monkomua I've ever seen, is kind of hard to ignore. He even has his own 'signature laugh'. And those 'Death Live' segments are really looking similar to DR's executions.

I'm still kind of interested in the concept and a lot of the mechanics in the trailer has me a little puzzled about how they work so I guess I'll wait for what the reviews on this say.

If anything, I'm surprised the collision of the survival game fad and idol fad didn't happen sooner. But I'm both surprised and disappointed at how dull the character designs are, they dont stand out at all.
