If the characters were written as actual kids, this setup would be brilliant. Kidnapping a bunch of kids, throwing them into a locked environment, promising escape for any one person who murders another without being caught, and having the kids deal with a talking stuffed bear who makes bad puns and constantly breaks the fourth wall? It's psychological torture in it's purest form. Unfortunately, several of these characters just feel ridiculous. I mean, how many kids these days write entire novels, or become leaders of biker gangs, or

As for the premise, yeah, it sounds pretty cool. Almost like Battle Royale, only milder... And, well, some people write stories during their school years. I know I did. And I still do. As for kids, well, with younger kids it might work... I mean, I know Battle Royale does it with middle schoolers (age 15 - 16) but given the manga made them look older... but that's more the manga's art style's fault.
Yes, Kirigiri's background will be revealed later on. Whether it's ridiculous... depends on your view. I find it a bit of a non-reveal since it isn't very surprising when it's revealed. Kind of makes you think why they're making a big deal out of it. Also...

Hey, it was easy to figure out! Just cause other people didn't figure it out doesn't mean I'm WRONG when I say it's obvious. As Kirigiri says in DRAT: "I looked at the crime scene for more than 5 seconds. Something you could all benefit from doing." Heck, I do that, too, and I figure everything out.

But they all had access to the Monokuma file, right? Surely they could have figured out what "vomited blood" meant?

Like I also mentioned, They could have assumed that it was because of the excessive blow to the head. They were more concentrated on the head wounds. Also if you pay attention to Kirigiri, she always mentions that unlike everyone else she always thinks of every possibility she can think off without ruling out anything so it keeps her mind to any and all possibilities which is why she's always one step ahead of everyone who is not used to all of it..

Doesn't make it any less obvious. Anyone with a bit of logic knows that vomits blood = internal injury. Especially the monokuma file. It said "no other EXTERNAL injuries" which is a huge sign for "THERE'S SOMETHING INTERNAL, BTW!"
It's about as subtle as the handshake in Persona 4.

As I said, they probally assumed that the blood from the mouth was FROM THE BLOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM EXCESSIVE FORCE

What i'm saying that the blow to the back of the head could have caused brain hemorrhaging which could have been what caused her death which is what probably what everyone thought it was except for Kirigiri because she did a better evaluation of the crime scene because of her experience and knowledge in the field because of her family profession

I am SO EXCITEBIKE FOR THE SECOND GAME'S RELEASE. Ibuki Mioda is by far my favorite character of most games, and is easily my favorite of the series. The mastermind of each game is one of my favorite villains (on par with Batman: The Animated Series' Joker, Gary Smith from Bully: Scholarship Edition, or The Jack of Blades). While SDR2 is a little hiccup-y at some points (from what I know after reading both the entire game and the director's commentary), and DR1 had too many empty rooms among other small things, they really are some of the best visual novels in the genre. Honestly, I feel like contemporary Ace Attorney could learn a thing or two from the series (especially Dual Destinies, where did my ability to investigate everything for humorous commentary go? D= ), and the style of animation really brings new relevance to my love of cult hit Parappa the Rapper.

I brought the game today 12 days before release because the guy at the video game store near my job is a customer of mines and he knew how I much I like Danganronpa so today at work he told me that they got the game already so I brought it after.
I'll post a small review about it once I get through the first chapter.

This isn't a spoiler, but... yeah I'll say it. If you don't have at least one Free Time event with Komaeda before the end of Chapter 1, he will not be available at all for any free time event afterwards. He just refuses to hang out with you during Free Times afterwards.

What skill does he actually give you? I'm still in the prologue chapter so I haven't made it to free time mode yet.

While some skills are gained from befriending people, just like in DR, a lot of skills are bought with points (that you gain during free time events); the skills marked "ウサミ交換" in the last column are those that are bought with points.

Is there a better link than that one because google translate does a pretty shitty job at translating the page.
Also what important skill does Komaeda give you in the beginning when you do his free time first?

The mysteries themselves were workable, albeit, somewhat easy even on the highest difficulty level. More often than not, I had already worked out most of what happened before the class trial started. However, the story was entertaining enough to where I didn't mind this too much. I also loved how it kept you guessing about the overall mystery of what exactly is going on at the academy.
My main complaint was the ending. The resolution didn't get enough foreshadowing, although this may be remedied depending on what you look into during free time. Also, the Puppetmaster's motives were kind of "meh;" although, they made good use of their limited screen time to showcase the kind of person they were. I just preferred dealing with Monokuma mostly. My biggest complaint was the cheesiness of the final nonstop debate and everything it represented. It just seemed out of place given the relatively dark tone of the game.

Overall, I am looking forward to playing through SDR2. All I need now is a Vita.

Can't really say that Free Time has much to do with that... I mean, okay, the Monokuma Theater kind of gives you some hints of the puppetmaster and similar as you progress through the game, but it doesn't really help in explaining the ending further. As for that whole "Final Nonstop Debate" thing, yeah, that was too long and it was too cheesy.
Hope VS Despair. That belongs into a kiddy thing, not something that I'm supposed to take seriously. I don't think you can really put a silly talk of Hope VS Despair next to something that has apparently caused the world to call into complate chaos and think it'll gel nicely. It just comes off as clunky and weird.
Now Shin Megami Tensei: that's how you do proper End Of The World stuff and have it be able to be taken seriously.
As for the Monoments... just makes me laugh. Oh yeah, that'll totally make me think something really happened.

Well what you made it sound like seemed like with Maizono in DR that if you don't do her free time you won't be able to do it later plus she gave you a important skill. So I assumed from how you explained that Komaeda was the same and gives you a useful skill.

Otherwise, well, given how he acts during the class trial and the others react... if you didn't talk to him, it counts as Hinata being too... repulsed (I guess) to hang out with him again.
