Danganronpa: The Cherry Blossom Fandub
Project Overview
What is this?
This is going to be a fanmade dub of the anime series, Danganronpa: The Animation. If this does well, we'll do the sequel series as well. We will be using the lines of the Funimation English dub as our script, but the voices should sound like the ones from the video game. Aside from that, we will be doing our best to keep both the sound effects and the soundtrack more or less unchanged.
For those of you unfamiliar with the premise: Danganronpa tells the story of 15 students who find themselves imprisoned in Hope's Peak Academy, a high school that is home to Japan’s best and brightest high school students. Cut off from the outside world, they are now subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a classmate and get away with it. It’s up to Makoto Naegi to find out who Monokuma really is, and why they've all been taken from the world they once knew. But be careful—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth.
Requirements:
1. Please make sure your microphone is capable of recording your voice without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping.
2. You must have a Discord account, as the project will be going into production over there.
3. Your voice files must be sent in a .wav format, though if it ends up too big, .mp3 files will do as an alternative.
4. You need to have a very clear idea of both the series and the character you're auditioning for. It is recommended that you either watch or rewatch the series so you have a better understanding of this.
5. Remember to have fun!
Payment:
Payments will be made on a per-episode basis. (i.e: when an episode is finished and uploaded, payment should be expected in the weeks following) Payments will be sent exclusively through PayPal or Venmo. Be sure to contact me if there's some other avenue you'd prefer to be paid in.

Monokuma is a stuffed robotic bear and the self-proclaimed Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy who instigates the Killing School Life. He seems very easygoing and cheerful at first glance, but with a very sinister undertone. However, he always rather quickly reveals his evil nature by describing killing games and his desire for despair, and he is very well known for his habit to say and do whatever he wants to. He loves hysteria, violence, and chaos. He also has his own signature laughs, a sadistic "puhuhu" and a mocking "ah-hahahaha". He can also be immature and childish, often acting sarcastic and mocking towards the students, and occasionally dramatically pretending to be offended when rightfully accused. In general, he cracks a lot of jokes (especially bear puns) and breaks the fourth wall often.
I'm not a teddy bear! I...am...Monokuma! And I am this school's headmaster!
The police? You're putting your faith in the police!? You guys, seriously... Do you understand what role the police exist to fill? All they're good for is being a foil, playing against a villain or anti-hero or evil organization. The bad guys come along and destroy them, and that shows just how badass they really are. Are you sure you wanna rely on such an unreliable group of losers? I mean come on! If you really, REALLY wanna get out of here, all you gotta do is kill!
A forgery plot? What are you, a middle schooler? You think the moon landing was faked, too? Come on! If there were such a thing as the Nobel Truth Prize, I'd take first, second, AND fourth place!
Makoto Naegi is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Lucky Student. Makoto proclaims himself to be a very ordinary person, to the point that he seems a bit insecure about it. He does admit to having one distinguishing feature, that being his unique sense of optimism. Makoto is very kind, supportive, and forgiving, though slightly naive at times. He is friendly, polite, and a lot more down-to-earth compared to the other students. He is a bit jumpy at times and can be somewhat of a pushover. Despite these meeker qualities, he is capable of being a very determined and charismatic speaker. Makoto is a firm believer in hope, having a positive attitude about the future no matter how bad the situation is in the present. He is also a pacifist, as he tends to believe that violence isn't the answer.
That was how it all began... And how life as I knew it came to an end. At that point, I should have realized... The reason I was brought to Hope's Peak Academy wasn't because I had ultimate good luck. It was so I could experience ultimate despair...
I mean, if there's nothing to talk about, then we can just not talk, right? You don't have to force yourself to talk. We can just, I dunno...stare off into space or whatever.
Everything will be okay. As long as we work together, I'm sure we'll make it out of this...! No, not "I'm sure"... We absolutely WILL make it out, no matter what it takes!
Kyoko Kirigiri is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, She doesn't remember her talent at the beginning, so her title is the Super High School-Level ??? Kyoko is a stoic, intelligent, and mysterious girl who tends to hide her feelings. She has a calm demeanor and tends to be completely unfazed by most of the events that occur, even at the sight of a dead body. Kyoko is very very sensitive regarding the subject of Hope's Peak Academy's headmaster. She also doesn't like it when people keep secrets from her. Behind Kyoko's stone-cold personality, she seems to easily get emotionally upset, which is masked by her strong will. Even in calm situations, she sometimes lets her emotions get the best of her.
Now's no time to wallow in your depression. The worst thing we can do right now is lose all faith in each other. That would lead to the same disastrous result as having *total* faith in everyone else.
I do trust you, to a degree. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you anything to begin with.
Well, presenting a strong demeanor is a fundamental part of negotiation and persuasion, wouldn't you say? Plus, if I'd showed my uneasiness, that would have just made you that much more uneasy.
Byakuya Togami is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Heir. Byakuya is a cold and self-centered person who is very reserved. He is not interested in co-operating with others due to his own sense of self-superiority, and his opinion that others are, on the whole, lesser than him. He thinks all people only think about themselves and he dismisses emotional ties as petty and unimportant. However, Byakuya's emotional detachment and lack of empathy towards the others sometimes make it very difficult for him to understand the reasoning for why people would behave altruistically or based on pure emotion.
You're like a child lost in the woods, you know that? A total waste of space.
Friends? Who decided that? We're not friends. No, quite the opposite. We're in competition—we're enemies.
I don't want to kill anyone. But I also don't want to stay here, living in blind denial day after day. I was just admiring how you could live like that and still keep your sanity.
Toko Fukawa is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Literary Girl. Toko is intellectually gifted, yet she has problems in social behavior. Due to the constant bullying she faced as a child, Toko is highly suspicious of other people, frequently accusing them of thinking bad things about her. She expresses her opinions freely and extremely, which can come across as mean and often rubs people the wrong way, though she claims she is just being honest. She has an unusually quick tendency to self-victimize and she refuses to believe compliments from other people. She also is very self-conscious about her body and tends to think that other people consider her ugly. Toko is also extremely afraid of blood and the dark due to very traumatic experiences. She also strongly dislikes bathing, to the point of fear, which might also be a result of an unknown trauma.
Toko is known to have an alternate personality in her head named Genocide Jack. Despite being a bloodthirsty and potentially very dangerous serial killer, Genocide Jack is mostly portrayed as comic relief. She laughs a lot and sometimes pretends to be serious only to reveal that she is just joking. Unlike Toko, Genocide Jack is very loud and outgoing. She is quite lewd at times, and she has a habit of giving excessively goofy nicknames to others.
N-Not that you'll remember my n-name anyway, but... I'm T-Toko... Toko Fukawa.
Well, it's n-not like anyone would care even if I w-was gone, right...? Actually, I bet you all *w-want* me gone! You all think I'm d-disgusting! You think I d-don't know, but I do... You want me g-gone! And I'm s-sure...the rest of you want the same th-thing, don't you!?
[As Genocide Jack] Kyeeehahahaha! I don't care either way! I'm fine with whichever one is more interesting! Actually, I may not look like it, but I've always hated school! Hell, no matter how I look! Still hate it! Kyeeehahahaha! Oh, but...no matter what, Master has to come along with us!
Aoi Asahina, also known as Hina, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Swimmer. Aoi is a warm, cheerful, upbeat, and outgoing girl who is friendly and welcoming towards everyone she meets, trying to make friends with everybody and include them in her activities. Due to being quite air-headed she can be easily manipulated by others and jump to conclusions or take them at face value. Aoi is an extremely athletic person and considers it an absolutely fundamental part of herself, using it as an important coping mechanism in her daily life and feeling like she "might die" if she can't exercise. She is extremely loyal to her friends to such a degree that when they are harmed it shatters her ability to emotionally cope.
It's okay! Everything's absolutely, positively, one hundred percent without a doubt gonna be okay! Cuz help's gonna be here, I'm sure of it!
I can't tell if you're for the occult or against it. You stink of stupidity...
Hey! Don't be a sourpuss! We gotta think positive! Besides, even if one more person dies, we can still field a basketball team. (to Yasuhiro)
Yasuhiro Hagakure, also known as Hiro, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Fortune-Teller. Yasuhiro is one of the more cheery, laid-back students, though a bit odd as well. However, he is generally not well-liked and he himself has openly admitted that he has no friends, being quite cowardly, lazy, slow-witted, and having a habit to act selfishly. Notably, he is mentioned to be very clumsy with money and he has constant problems with massive debts. He is also afraid of ghosts and would freak out if such a subject comes up in a conversation. Yasuhiro has quite a cowardly personality and often attempts to trick other people to get rid of his massive debts, charging incredibly high prices for his readings that, according to other people, often do not fit the accuracy of his fortune-telling. Yasuhiro also seems to possess a smarter, more cunning side despite regularly appearing slow-witted.
Hey, come on, guys. Let's just stop talking about all this...you know, negative stuff... Man, if I got stressed every time something like this happened, I'd have ectoplasm shooting out my mouth! Good things come to those who wait, right? So we just gotta chill and everything'll work itself out!
I didn't oversleep, just so you know. Nope, got lost! I blame the Bermuda Triangle...
It's okay. I mean, anyone can make a mistake like that. As a matter of fact, one time I thought I'd spotted a Grey alien, but it turned out to be a tadpole!
Sayaka Maizono is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Idol. Sayaka has a cheerful, sweet, lighthearted, and supporting personality, expressing a kind demeanor and pleasant disposition, although it is unknown if this is only because of her status as an idol. However, she tends to hide her feelings when she is under great pressure by putting on her public persona. When pushed to her limit, Sayaka will do anything to achieve the goals she sets out, however risky her actions may be. She has an amazing intuition, as she can easily tell what people are thinking.
And to thank you for helping me out, I'm going to become your Ultimate Assistant! Yup! I'm your assistant now! I'm going to help you out as much as I can, so let's get out of here together!
I've never really done it before. I don't have a lot of time to just...do nothing.
Oh, and about what I said before... When I said I was psychic, it really was a joke. Honestly, I'm just very perceptive.
Leon Kuwata is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Baseball Player. Leon is a passionate, hot-blooded young teenager. Despite his talent in playing baseball, Leon claims he strongly hates it and is very determined to change his current title to Super High School-Level Musician. He has a tendency to complain about the several things he finds uncool and gross about baseball, often without any prompting from others. He's quite arrogant, often talking about his popularity and dreams of being even more famous, considering himself a 'future superstar'.
My only path in life is getting into music! You can feel that star-quality aura I have, right? I'm gonna be a singer, so all I need is a songwriter and someone on guitar, and we're set! This new version of me that's chasing after my dream is, like...super cool to the max!
Anyway, there's nothing to do around here. Gonna friggin' die of boredom... And being stuck in here is keeping me from racing toward my dream, too.
No way in hell am I letting someone kill me...! Alright, dammit! Let's do this!
NOTE: I am well aware Chihiro is actually a male. However, given women have played him in the past, I felt it was best to follow suit.
Chihiro Fujisaki is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Their title is the Super High School-Level Programmer. Chihiro is very intelligent, but he also has a very meek and timid personality. He is very shy and apologizes a lot - it's easy to intimidate him to the point of tears. However, he also loves to talk about anything related to his work as a programmer and he becomes more lively whenever the topic is brought up. Chihiro is one of the kindest and softest characters in Danganronpa, as he literally wouldn't hurt a mosquito because it's "hungry and might have a family". Unfortunately, Chihiro also had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak".
Everyone's really upset... I mean, how could anyone be calm right now? Why...? How can something like that even exist? I just don't understand. I don't...
This...isn't a game. Our lives are on the line, you know... To kill your own friends is...is... It's horrific!
Um...s-sorry, I don't really want to talk about it right now. But I also don't want to leave things the way they are. So maybe I can talk about it later... After I try my best...to become strong... Then I can tell everyone.
Mondo Owada is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Biker. Behaving like a stereotypical delinquent, Mondo is foul-mouthed and can come off as a rude and intimidating individual. He is very easy to provoke, and will not hesitate to resort to violence if he starts to lose his patience. Just like Chihiro, Mondo has a severe complex about being seen as weak, which he represses by constantly repeating in his mind that he is strong. Mondo states that he tends to be very nervous around girls that he likes, causing him to raise his voice and ultimately scare them away, something that has happened at least 10 times already. Mondo has a soft spot for dogs and had one named Chuck during his childhood however he died at 9 years of age.
Gotcha, you little piece of shit! I dunno if you're a toy or a stuffed animal or whatever the hell! Either way, I'm gonna rip you to fuckin' shreds!
But I suck at thinkin' stuff up, so I guess I'll let you guys figure it out. Once it's time to act, though, you just lemme know. I'll show you what a real man can do!
Stop jumpin' ahead! Slow down and explain it so I get what the hell's goin' on!
Kiyotaka Ishimaru, also known as Taka, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Hall Monitor. As is befitting, Kiyotaka is righteous and values order and rules above all else. He takes his role as a student very seriously. He is shown to be very polite and respectful. He considers effort most important and he is a hard worker, believing that one can achieve anything through it. He considers geniuses his enemies because they don't understand the true value of effort. He also believes that people who are easily provoked to violence are cowards. Nevertheless, Kiyotaka truly cares about his classmates. He is willing to take pragmatic approaches to avoid murder. Though he acts confidently and is quick to take the role of leadership, he suffers from low-self esteem at times and he is quite sensitive, sometimes crying very easily if he is shocked or touched by something.
Just a moment! There's something else we must address! Makoto! Your tardiness is unacceptable! Surely you were aware the meeting was to start at 8 a.m. sharp! To be late on your first day is unspeakable! I must report you, and you must accept your due punishment!
But it's also of utmost importance to double-check the areas we already know about, just in case! Aren't I so clever to think of that!? I really impress myself sometimes.
I don't know what you've got planned, but we're not going to kill each other anymore! No matter what you do, I swear to God we won't!
Hifumi Yamada is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, His title is the Super High School-Level Fanzine Artist. Hifumi has a verbose manner of speaking, often going on long-winded tangents about his interests such as anime or fanfiction. He also tends to casually make creepy or perverted comments in the middle of conversations, especially about or to women. He also can't tell the difference between some insults or compliments. Hifumi is extremely passionate about anime and fanfiction, and has little tolerance for anyone he feels has a poor or neutral opinion about them. He refers to others in a very formal manner, calling them "Ms." or "Mr." Last Name. Although having a somewhat misanthropic look at society, Hifumi will not stand for indecent crimes against those he holds in deep regard.
I...am Hifumi Yamada. But if you want to call me by my nickname, "The Alpha and the Omega!" I don't mind.
What are you talking about!? All my love is for 2D! I would NEVER get tired of 2D! After spending a significant amount of time comparing 2D and 3D, I voluntarily chose 2D! The only thing 3D is good for is to shower love and affection on 2D!
How is that funny? Can't you smile like a normal person once in a while? Like how the housewife on a classic TV show smiles at the end of an episode
Celestia Ludenberg, also known as Celeste, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Gambler. As an experienced gambler, Celestia appears collected, cold, and cunning by nature. She possesses the ability to manipulate others to do her bidding and can lie with a straight face. Her mannerisms are strict, refined and her spoiled nature emphasizes this due to her aspiring to be like European royalty. She even has a habit of ranking men between Rank A and Rank F, supposedly to test who is worthy of being one of her servants. Celestia speaks softly and smiles often to imitate Victorian mannerisms and etiquette as a lady. She usually uses polite language whenever she talks to others, but her short-temperedness surfaces when something fails to go as well as she expects it to.
If you can't stop yourself from showing weakness in front of others... ...you will die. I am not joking. Adaptability is survivability. Did I not say so? So you'd better hurry up and adapt to your new life here.
Adding milk or lemon right before you drink is like dousing your fries in ketchup—mere condiments!
Life here would be that much nicer if he could add some new issues once in a while. How disappointing.
Sakura Ogami is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Grappler. Contrary to what her appearance might suggest, Sakura is a quiet, kind, and level-headed girl. She rarely loses her nerve and seems able to maintain clarity in any situation. During more rare moments, she can lose her temper completely and become extremely intense, particularly when her friends get hurt. She also gets impatient if she cannot properly train for a long period of time. Due to her more old-fashioned upbringing, Sakura has a habit of talking in an old-fashioned, formal manner. She believes that being a martial artist is simply her destiny. Along with learning martial arts, she learned to respect nature and animals, being particularly fond of rabbits as they never seem to get frightened when she holds them. Despite her gentle nature, Sakura has trouble socializing with others due to her intimidating appearance and aloof nature.
All we can do now is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Either way, we can't run away from the situation, so we have no choice but to move forward.
If I didn't get my blood pumping early in the morning, it would throw off my rhythm for the entire day.
Junko Enoshima is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, Her title is the Super High School-Level Fashion Diva. As a young fashionista, Junko is described as simply "not fake", charismatic and eager to try new things. she comes across as slightly air-headed and hot-tempered. She can also be a bit too talkative with an overly carefree attitude. However, Junko's real personality is revealed at the end, very apathetic and easily bored to an unhealthy and abnormal degree. Because of this, her behavior and mannerisms tend to be extremely erratic and unstable by her own autonomous design; keeping up one "appearance" for too long bores her, which causes her to often switch between different personas. However, she is capable of maintaining one persona for extended periods of time when necessary.
[As a Valley Girl Fashion Diva] Come on, don't act so surprised! You're gonna make me all depressed. It's totally normal these days to photoshop the crap out of cover photos. If you're surprised by that, you'd be totally blown away by a certain dangerous little diva of ours... They make the eyes and junk super big and tweak the skin so it looks all ceramic and porcelain.
Puhuhu. After seeing all the evidence, do you have any choice but to acknowledge the truth? Isn't it just so desperately dark? The mystery's solved, but it's like a goddamn funeral in here! Shit man, I've never been to a funeral. Hell yes!
A peasant begging for his life? How delightful! We've never witnessed such a travesty firsthand... But I'm sorry to say, begging doesn't work on me. All I want is despair. And there's no reason for it. And since there's no reason, there's no argument against it. There's just no understanding it. No argument, no understanding... What better definition of ultimate despair could there be!?
