Judging the Danganronpa x Sanrio character pairings

You may have already heard that a DANGANRONPA X SANRIO line of crossover merch was announced a few days ago! Which is obviously AMAZING, because they’re combining cutesy characters that have often been marketed to wee children with everybody’s favorite murderdeathkill game! I LOVE IT.

I have a niece who went through a Sanrio/Hello Kitty phase, so I actually know a few of these characters. In turn, this means that I have THOUGHTS on how the DR1 and Sanrio cast were paired up.

Granted, I still had to look up a lot of these guys and read about them. But now I feel adequately educated to the point where I can judge just how well the Danganronpa and Sanrio pairings actually match up. 

Makoto Naegi/Cinnamoroll - Obviously this totally works because Makoto IS something of a cinnamon roll, eh? EH? But Cinnamoroll is said to be shy albeit still very friendly. He also likes to seek out fun new adventures. So, aside from “very friendly,” I’m not sure that this sounds like Makoto. I also doubt that calling a character a “cinnamon roll” is common slang in Japan. So this is whatever.

Sayaka Maizono/Wish Me Mell - Mell has the power to connect people’s hearts by simply stating the feelings they keep inside. She was initially withdrawn and believed she didn’t have any friends, but the people who cared for her finally broke through her shell and convinced her that she DOES have friends. So uh, Maizono... I guess music can also bring out people’s feelings? And perhaps you could plausibly HC that Sayaka has often felt like her surrounding friends were “fake” and only there because of her celebrity status. There’s not really much to go on here. 

Leon Kuwata/Tiran - Tiran is an orange T-rex that is said to be scatterbrained but still a strong and reliable leader. Meanwhile, Leon has orange hair, and he’s certainly strong and kind of scatterbrained sometimes. It sorta works.

Kyoko Kirigiri/Marroncream - Marroncream is bright, positive, and fashionable. She is talented at making crafts and sweets. She lives in Paris. She has nearly nothing in common with Kyoko, although Kyoko did live abroad a lot in her younger years. So I could try to latch onto the Paris thing.

Hifumi Yamada/Pokopon - Pokopon is a raccoon that loves to read but dislikes ghosts and “the thunder god.” (uh... what?) He also finishes his sentences with the unusual suffix “-das.” Of course, Hifumi loves to write (which certainly is connected to reading), and he likes to end all names with a weird suffix (”-dono”), so I can see how they might make a cute pair.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru/Pekkle - Pekkle is a duck who is good-natured and kind. He loves to sing and dance. It kind of sounds like he should’ve been matched with Sayaka, but instead he’s here with Taka. While Ishimaru is definitely a good person, I don’t think most people would immediately describe him as “kind.” And he certainly isn’t known for his love of music.

Yasuhiro Hagakure/Monkichi - Monkichi is a laid-back, easygoing guy who is upbeat and loves puns. His dream is to become a poet. It’s said that once he sets his mind on something, there is no stopping him! And in comparison, Hagakure is... well, he’s kind of laid-back in the sense that he’s kind of lazy? But he’s actually pretty high-stress a lot of the time, too. Honestly, there’s not much linking the two.

Chihiro Fujisaki/Kurousa and Shirousa - Shirousa is the white one and is the older sibling to Kurousa, the brown one. Shirousa is described as an energetic leader and Kurousa is described as being nice but lazy. They like to make cakes. What does any of this have to do with Chihiro? Beats me. This particular pairing is nonsense.

Byakuya Togami/Badtz-Maru - Badtz-Maru is said to have a bad attitude and dreams of being “the boss of everything” when he grows up. He tends to act a bit selfish, and he mocks things he dislikes/disagrees with. He enjoys expensive food and collecting photos of movie villains. With the exception of that last point, I’d have to say that this sounds like a near-perfect match for Togami.

Mondo Owada/Goropikadon - The Goropikadon are a group of cave boys whose actual names are Goro (blue hair), Pika (pink hair), and Don (teal hair). Goro is always hungry and joking around. PIka is a thoughtful, shy mama’s boy. Don is serious and places a high value on honesty. Overall, I suppose that how quick Mondo is to get angry and resort to violence kind of makes him seem like a stereotypical caveman? But in terms of their distinct personalities, only Don’s focus on honesty rings true for Mondo. 

Toko Fukawa/Lloromannic - Another multi-character one. The Llormannic are a pair of creatures named Berry (the black one, who is male) and Cherry (the pink one, who is female). They are mischievous and love to play pranks on humans. Cherry was originally alone and created Berry for companionship; however, she mixed up her magic spell ingredients and used salt when she meant to use sugar, which resulted in Berry turning out to be a more hostile being than Cherry. I suppose the fact that Berry is a darker creation of Cherry’s sort of reflects the relationship between Toko and her other self, Genocide(r) Syo/Jack. However, Berry and Cherry are still best friends. Toko and Syo/Jack are definitely not that.

Celestia Ludenberg/Kuromi - Kuromi is the rival of a bunny named “My Melody” who doesn’t appear in this promotion. Kuromi is said to look “tough and punk” in her jester’s hat with the pink skull on it, but in reality she is very girly. She enjoys writing in her diary, reading romance books, cooking, and checking out good-looking guys. I suppose Celestia did have that dream of living in a mansion where she was served by handsome guys dressed as vampires? So... they both like hot guys? But that’s all I’ve got here. Pretty sure this pairing only exists for aesthetic reasons. And admittedly, their aesthetics mesh very well.

Aoi Asahina/Keroppi - Keroppi lives with his family on the edge of Donut Pond. He is bubbly, a fantastic swimmer and, because of the name of his home pond, is often associated with donuts and/or things that are donut-shaped. Ok, so this was an obvious pairing, then. They nailed it. Probably the single best pairing they came up with.

Sakura Ogami/My Sweet Piano - Yes, the character’s name is literally “My Sweet Piano.” She’s described as soft, kind, and girly. Given Sakura’s secret love of girly things, I can see how this soft, pink, girly sheep would be something she’d love to be around. 

Junko Enoshima (...?)/Hello Kitty - Hello Kitty (a.k.a. Kitty White) is described by Sanrio as “cute, bright, sweet, kind-hearted and tomboyish.” They also say that Kitty is very close with her sister, Mimmy. As for Junko... look, the only reason I think maybe this is supposed to be Junko is because Mukuro already has her own Sanrio matchup (see the next entry), but in terms of her appearance, this “Junko” sure looks like it’s “Junkuro.” The telltale sign is that giant bow on the left side of the head, which only Mukuro-as-Junko has ever worn. I doubt we’re supposed to be thinking that they did two Mukuros in two different outfits, though? 

It’s like this: If it’s Junko, well, I guess both Junko and Kitty are icons within their respective brands. And Junko tries to put on a “cute and bright” exterior persona, I guess? But that’s pretty thin. On the other hand, if this is Mukuro in disguise, this is actually a semi-decent matchup! Mukuro is arguably tomboyish and certainly very close to her sister (at least from her own perspective), so these two are not without their parallels. 

In either case, both Kitty and the Unknown Despair Sister have a big bow on the left side of their head. Which I think is the real reason they’ve been paired, honestly.

Mukuro Ikusaba/Little Twin Stars - Kiki and Lala are a pair of twins that were born on December 24th. Mukuro is one half of a pair of twins ALSO born on December 24th. Instant connection! Kiki (the blue-haired boy) loves fishing and inventing things. He is curious and cheeky. Lala (the pink-haired girl) loves drawing, writing poems, and cooking. She is rather timid. In short, the “twins with the same birthdate” thing is the only thing connecting Mukuro to these two. Still, it’s not bad.

Also, the most amazing thing to come out of this team-up so far HAS TO BE MonoKitty. Hello Kitty cosplaying as our favorite psychotic MurderBear? How great is that? SELL ME MERCH OF MONOKITTY.

Hola, bienvenidos a mi página, soy Cinemis, y el día de hoy vengo con mi primer review, y es para la tan esperada película de Ready Player One. 

Empecemos por la trama: se basa en el año 2045, el mundo es un completo desastre, y solo hay un refugio para que los humanos pueden escapar: el Oasis. Creado por James Halliday, es sistema de realidad virtual donde pueden hacer lo que se les ocurra: estudiar, tener su negocio, ser parte de batallas, encontrar el amor. Piense en una actividad, la puede hacer en el Oasis. Halliday fallece, y al no tener a quien dejarle su dinero, decide crear un concurso dentro del sistema: quien encuentre las 3 llaves, se quedará con su fortuna, y el control del Oasis, entonces, básicamente acompañamos a Wade Watts en la búsqueda de las llaves, y su lucha en contra de I.O.I, la compañía que quiere tomar control del sistema, y convertirlo en un sistema de pago. Sencillo, verdad? Bueno, pues la película es lo mismo con unos cambios no tan drásticos, pero que logran cambiar el final de la película en comparación con el libro. Ambos están llenos de referencias hacia los 80s: películas como Volver al Futuro, canciones como Staying Alive de los Bee Gees, videojuegos como Adventure, y cantidades torrenciales de personajes de esa cultura: Freddy Krueger, el Guasón, personajes de Street Fighter, hasta la mismísima Hello Kitty hace una aparición. 

SPOILERS ADELANTE. 

Es más que obvio que Wade gana el concurso, el jefe de I.O.I, Nolan Sorrento se va encarcelado luego de casi matar a Wade, y a sus amigos, es inevitable que Wade se enamore de Art3mis, Wade control del Oasis, y hay un final feliz para todos. Como yo me leí el libro, si noté las diferencias, y hubo algunas que no me hicieron tan feliz como lo esperaba: 

1. La forma de conseguir la llave de bronce, en el libro, se conseguía en Ludus, el planeta donde se encuentran las llaves. Wade encuentra un templo que es una recreación de Dungeons of Daggorath. Ahí se enfrenta al jefe, y luego de ganarle en 2 partidas del juego Joust, le dan la llave de oro. En la película la llave la consigue por medio de la carrera. 

2. La forma de conseguir la llave de Jade: en el libro, Wade termina el juego Zork. En película, High Five se adentra en la película El Resplandor, encuentran el salón de baile, y quien rescate a Kira, el amor prohibido de James, consigue la llave de Jade. 3. Una diferencia muy marcada es que, en la película, cuando se consigue la llave, ya puede seguir inmediatamente buscando las otras llaves. En el libro no. En el libro deben conseguir la llave, y pasar otro desafío. Con la llave de oro, además de jugar la partida de Joust, debe desbloquear la puerta recreando toda la película de Juegos de Guerra, intentando no fallar ningún diálogo, y con la llave de Jade, además de terminar Zork, y para desbloquear la llave, debe pasar el juego Black Tiger en primera persona. Estos recortes son entendibles, puesto que la película no debía ser muy larga. 

3. La relación entre Art3mis, y Wade: la sentí sumamente apresurada. En el libro, y la película terminan juntos, pero en el libro se lo guardan para el final, igual que su primer acercamiento en persona. 

4. Un cambio que me gustó bastante, fue la implementación de I-r0k. En el libro su papel es mínimo, él es quién proclama conocer a Parzival, y Aech después de que pasar por la primer puerta, y ahí termina su rol. Me gustó que lo hicieran un villano tonto, ya que en el libro es un personaje sumamente estúpido, y necio. 

5. Ogden Morrow. En la película su papel es mínimo, realmente me hubiera gustado verlo más, ya que, a pesar de que Halliday fue el encargado de la preparación del OASIS, Morrow también era parte de Gregarious Simulation Systems. Un punto muy interesante hubiera sido ver su avatar, y verlo ayudando al High Five a conseguir la última llave a como lo hizo en el libro. 

6. El punto que más me molestó que omitieran, porque le pudo haber agregado dramatismo a la película: Daito no se muere en la película. Empecemos por el hecho de que en el libro Daito es un hombre de 50 viviendo en su apartamento en Japón. I.O.I busca su ubicación, entra en el apartamento, y lo tiran por la ventana, matando a Daito. Realmente hubiera gustado ver esa escena, realmente hubiera causado shock. 

Entre los puntos más altos de la película visualmente hablando recalco: la carrera, muy interesante, uno realmente se emociona viendo la escena. También la parte del Resplandor, fue una sorpresa bastante interesante, y por supuesto, la escena de la discoteca, me fascinó. Me gustó que usar líneas del libro, por ejemplo, cuando Halliday le agradece a Wade por haber jugado su juego, me dio una nostalgia tan grande, fue la única parte que si me hizo derramar una lágrima. Visualmente es muy buena, el uso de los efectos especiales es excelente, ver cómo lograron agregar a personajes de otras películas, y videojuegos, los mismos Avatars como el de Parzival, son visualmente atractivos, y una banda sonora excelente. Con solo usar Jump de Van Halen, ya se sabía que iba a tener un buen soundtrack. Un punto bajo para mí fue la inclusión de F’Nale. Considero que le quitó muchísimo protagonismo a Nolan, haciéndolo parecer casi que inútil. Veo muy dif��cil que la película gane algún premio a mejor historia, no me malentienda, es muy buena, estoy enamorada del libro, pero la historia puede resultar confusa. Quienes la vayan a ver, no han leído el libro, y pierden el hilo de la trama, es casi segura que se van a perder. 

No es la mejor película de Steven Spielberg, pero no es la peor, es realmente una oda a los 80s, pero prefiero recomendar leer el libro, puesto que tiene muchísimas más referencias. Es el tipo de películas que está hecha para quien conocer de la cultura de los 80s, o quien ya tiene conocimiento, y quiere traer a la mente viejo recuerdos.La película nos hace un llamado de atención a que, a pesar de que el mundo virtual puede ser sumamente entrenido, no va a haber nada como el mundo real. Cito del libro palabras dicha por Halliday: “Ahí fue cuando me di cuenta que, por terrorífica, y dolorosa que pueda ser la realidad, también es el único lugar donde puede encontrar verdadera felicidad. Porque la realidad es real”. No tengo nada más que decir, si tuviera que darle una calificación, le daría una –A: imagen increíble, historia apresurada. Muchas gracias por haber leído mi opinión, aunque nadie la haya pedido sobre Ready Player One. Hasta luego, jugadores.
