No, there is still characterization that is important to the plot that is still to come. Everything they're saying was all from free time events in the game, which is all optional. Optional, but apparently very important. I'd be seeing all the free time events if I were playing. I hope this kind of information will be revealed later, like Hitler said, or else the one-dimensional characters are gonna hold this back. |

| After watching this second ep, I really want to play the game now haha. It's going to be hard waiting each week! |
| I was surprised at Sayaka dying right off the bat, but you know what the worst part is? Naegi's last interaction with her was him getting nonchalantly friend-zoned. When he suggested that she stay in his room for the night, I clapped. "So that's what they meant when they said he was an expert at getting lucky" I foolishly thought. Well she shot that down awfully quick didn't she? Now he's being accused of murdering a girl who not only had the gall to die in his nice clean bathroom, ruining the walls with her strange pink blood doodles and making him the prime suspect in the process, but who also went so far as to cut up his entire room in the process? Super duper high school luckster my ass. |

suynk said: AnimeFtw1 said: DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: That and all her friends were dead in that image Not like I knew about her background. I assumed that everyone had a video similar to Naegai so really none of them would have anything to go back to. Just look at the main character, you don't see him freaking out when his family is probably going to get killed. Glad she's out of the picture. Everyone takes the same misery a little differently, some harder than others. You can't blame her for being afriad and wanting to get out of there when everything she's worked for is being destroyed. And the thing about the main character is that he has a very positive personality, as he describes himself in the beginning of the game. In that kind of situation, it'd be abnormal for anyone to stay calm. It's funny, because Togami says something very similar later on in the game. I don't remember it exactly, but it's something along the lines of, "Just because you can't see it in yourself to be motivated to kill by so and so, doesn't mean others can't. Thinking that we all have the same mindset will only lead to ignorance and your down-fall. It's safe to suspect everyone no matter what your own ideals are." ...Something like that. |

| Well I figured Junko would be the first to get nixed. Looks like I was half-right. |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |

Litrydow said: Oh they arent, trust me they arent. A couple give depth to the characters but the thing is, they were all written so they would not have anything to do with the plot at that current time. like they consist of things likeHiddenDoorway said: Litrydow said: So in this adaptation we're basically left without any characterization?

I'd be seeing all the free time events if I were playing. -mondo saying he'd take naegi out for a bike run when they get out of there - chihiro wanting to be stronger - ishamaru not knowing how being social works And so on. They arent important. just nice little extras Also you wouldnt see them all unless you play the game like 12 times, you get 1 to 2 free time event about once or twice a chapter and theres one for each character(surviving far enough) for every chapter. |

| I really liked the episode by just how faithful it was, yeah it had major pacing issues but when I saw the "investigation start" and evidence prompts I was just so happy to see those. Also I love the OP and the dancing monobear. |

kenshin_sama said: Oh well, my favorite would definitely be Sayaka. Expecting her to die early. :P I know it was pretty obvious from the start, but I feel like I just gained a few levels by getting this right. My predictions are almost never right. o.O Well, I'm glad this didn't turn out to be as simple as I imagined it to be. Quite an interesting development with the survival scenario in this series. |
suynk said: To a first time viewer, most characters would look pretty flat right now. Especially for the characters who die early on, they would continue to look flat because the introductory conversation in the beginning and the freetime events were all they had for their character development.. Exactly. That's how it's looking to me. But if the information of free time events are as pointless as he said, then it wouldn't help much. But what was said of Maizono in this thread is really relevant for characterization, wasn't that in a free time event too? |

| i know that she didn't commit suicide but it really looks like it. two things pointed out to me that she didn't though: 1. she died in naegi's room and that would frame him but, i believe that she actually thinks of him as a good friend and would never do that and also my second reason which leads me to my next point... 2. her dying message which... being able to read english that isn't all that obvious to the japanese... 11037 doesn't point to naegi. if she really wanted to commit suicide and frame someone she wouldn't frame two people. about 11037... i have no idea how the crystal ball and the burnt clothing relate because i don't think it has much to do with either of their super high school level abilities... just an extra note: i actually really like the neon pink blood... |
| Yeah the pink blood really threw me off at first, reminded me of Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" music video lol. I'm sorta glad Maizono died first though, she was a bit too annoying with her damsel in distress personality. Everyone suspecting Naegi was a bit weird... you think if he killed her he would be smart enough not to do it in his own room and lead everyone to the body... |

| Well shit this just turned to Phoenix Wright! was hoping she wouldn't die so soon but she had death flags all over here ;_; but two in one episode,guess we'll be seeing some people get *punished in the future* but i'm just gonna steer clear of these threads to save myself. |

| I thought i wasn't gonna like this anime but this episode proved me wrong Can't wait for next week. |
| DAMN!! My favorite girl just died, but that model bitch died too, so I guess it's all good. |

But yeah, a lot of characters get developed after their death, so I suggest you watch it until the end before you go searching for spoilers. Or you could just play the original game. Alright, then, I'll stick to it 'til the end. If it deviates too much from the game, I'm sure this forum will let me know. |

| Way better than episode 1 imo.Naegi is suspected of killing Maizono,though I think she committed suicide.And that fucker!!!The bear killed Junko!!!She was the best eye candy of the series. |

HiddenDoorway said: I guess that since she is dead now I can finally say that Maizono is actually kind of a walking reference to Ace Attorney, as this series is kind of 'the psp's answer to Ace Attorney'. spoilers for the first couple cases of the first Ace Attorney game: Whoa. You may be right on this one. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

| Kind of looked like suicide to me. The scene with Maizono looking down at the desk (after Naegi left to go to her room) made it look like she knew something was coming. Yes, she heard a noise in her previous room, but that's no reason for her to leave Naegi's room unlocked. So she either anticipated her death, or decided to suicide. Though it seems like suicide wouldn't be an option in this type of anime. Anyways, looking forward to the next episode! :D |

Wait so all they have to do is agree on who's the killer and its decided? That's it? I thought the bear dude KNOWS and confirms it if they are right or wrong, and if they are wrong, they all die. They confirm it at the Class Trial. Yeah, majority vote. There'll be precedings before the votes are cast, though, like debates and stuff. This is to determine who the culprit so that, y'know, they won't make a mistake and die or something. |
| Allright, it seems a lot of people didn't get this. The point of the game is to kill without being found out by the others. If the majority votes for the true culprit, only the true culprit will be executed. If the majority votes for the wrong culprit, everybody but the true culprit will be executed. Note: Monokuma knows who the true culprit is, so he can ascertain if they are right or wrong. |

| Wow I didn't think that they would kill Maizono off this quickly....but it's weird the last time we saw her alive in that little moment her eye's looked like they were up to something so either A she killed herself or B she threatened someone so they killed her for selfdefense. That's all I could come up with. |
