Danganronpa Franchise

This is a great franchise all things considered. So many likable characters (although anyone with a brain would know that Peko and Kaito are the best I mean come on...) and it's full of heartbreak. It's interesting to see how different NIS and Funimation's takes are. There are some things that NIS did better (like Ibuki's outbursts and the genocider) but some thing that Funimation handled better (having Peko call Fuyuhiko sire instead of young mater, getting one person to do Junko's voice). Combine them together and you'd have the perfect DR dub IMO. For now there are only a few characters that I imagine different voices for altogether but every franchise has it's ups and downs I guess.

This is my #1 fav series of all time. Nis America did such a wonderful job localizing this franchise to the West, and for the most part, they nailed the voiceover work for the games. Many people may wonder whether or not there will be a 5th DR game (DR4)...

So, an interview with the creator Kazutaka Kodaka has revealed that he will be taking a break from the series and that he has exhausted all his ideas after developing V3. Which, tbh, I'm not surprised with, considering how the game ended. Kazutaka also mentioned that he will not object to handing his series to another developer to continue on the franchise.

@MizukaS He is? Wow. Did not see that coming. I just hope that the fanbase won't die out anytime soon (maybe it'll be a good thing if it does.)

@MizukaS "Nis America did such a wonderful job localizing this franchise to the West" I strongly disagree with that statement. Nis did an OK job yes but from what I've seen it's sub-par. They do decent with some things but there are some that stick out as clearly being translated. Keep in mind I may be saying this because I hate what's happening to the dub of Neptunia but I feel they should let Atlus handle this instead.
