Super Danganronpa Another 2 - The OFFICIAL English Localization

Super Danganronpa Another 2 - The OFFICIAL English Localization

Project Overview

Hello everyone!

I'm Sword of Swords, and today I'm representing the group "Super Dubbinronpa" making this post to formally announce the OFFICIAL English localization and dub of the Korean fangame, Super Danganronpa Another 2! To better explain what this project is all about, I'm going to cannibalize and add to a post we did on Reddit a few weeks ago:

What is Super Danganronpa Another 2?

Super Danganronpa Another 2 (SDRA2) is the sequel to the Danganronpa fangame Danganronpa: Another. They are both full Danganronpa fangames with their own art, murders and trials, made in RPG Maker VX Ace. both games were created by the Korean developer LINUJ, and both games have previously only been released entirely in Korean. You can find various gameplay videos of both games on Youtube. You can find LINUJ's website here.



Wait, if it's a sequel, why aren't you localizing the first game first?

We found ourselves more attached to the cast and art of the second game rather than the first, and the second game has been picking up a lot of steam in the English Danganronpa community. Additionally, it appears that several groups have already started translating the first game, so we figured it would be best to not appear as if we were competing.


Wasn't there someone already subbing the game on Youtube?

Yup! His Youtube channel is Johnny Youngster and he is a part of our translation team.

Do you have permission from the original creator to do this?

Also a yes! Here is the original email we received from the creator regarding the project. The tl;dr of it is that they have OFFICIALLY allowed us to translate, dub and create an English patch of the game. The only conditions the developer asked is to not make a financial profit of any shape, form or way from this project, to which we have fully agreed and adhered to.

Wait? An English dub?

Yup! A lot of us on the team are (hobby) voice actors, and as such have an interest in dubbing the game. If you dislike English dubs on principle, don't worry! We plan to release a version of the game with the English dub, and one without. We have finally reached a stage where we feel that casting is appropriate, so we've come to find skilled voice actors!


So you're just dubbing the game and that's it?

Actually, we are also going to host a Tumblr blog that will double as an ask blog, so any VAs cast also have the option of participating in that fun side project. If you've ever seen or been in an ask blog before, they can be a lot of fun, and this one should be even more so since it will have the official English VAs!


What progress have you made translating the game currently?

At the moment, we have fully translated and localized the prologue and have made steady progress on Chapter 1.


You talk a lot about "the team". Who exactly does this team consist of?

I don't think I like your tone, disembodied questioner.  Currently, we have a director, (me,) 5 amazing translators, two guys who do pretty much everything, a handful of localizers and script editors, some editors, a few social media people and a partridge in a pear tree. We take great pride in the quality of the script, so we all work together to make sure everything is consistent and faithful to the original plot.


Ultimate or Super Highschool Level?

As this is an English localization, we will be following the NISA translations and using Ultimate.


Do you have any screenshots of what you've done so far?

Indeed we do! These are screenshots from the most recent form of the localization, so it should give you a good idea of how it's going to sound. (Also, RPG Maker VX Ace is a little weird about screenshots, so some images may appear cut off!)


Wait, you guys already have a group! You'll just pick people who are already in it!

I certainly understand that concern. However, I want to stress that this will be an OBJECTIVE, SERIOUS casting call. This is for all intents and purposes the creator-approved, official English translation and dub, and I will be picking the BEST VAs for the roles, regardless of any of my past or current relationships. I expect that some people will be mad at me, but I am very serious about the quality of this project.


So I have to be a professional? Might as well not even try....

No, no. You don't have to be a professional. This is a fan project, BY fans FOR fans, and it's not as if Kaiji Tang is going to show up. (Bryce Papenbrook keeps clawing at the door, but we just ignore him.) However, I'll tell you right now that a cell phone or headset mic just isn't going to cut it. We don't expect studio quality, but we need you to at least be invested enough to own a microphone.


So you're the one casting, but you're also auditioning? That doesn't seem fair.

I definitely understand that concern, and I can assure you that this isn't a vanity project. I am, first and foremost, a voice actor, but I won't shoehorn myself in as whatever I want just because I'm more or less in charge. I'll do some auditions, and let the public decide if I make the cut. If I do, great, if I don't, I won't be a sore loser. This I promise.


I can't voice act, but I want to help out in other ways. What can I do?

We could definitely use some more help! I believe the job we need help with the most is implementing text into the game. I won't lie to you: it's a monotonous job. But the more people we have doing it, the faster it will go, and I promise you'll get a shiny place in the credits and a special place in my heart.

I want to join your Discord!

That's awesome! We are encouraging everyone interested in participating in this project to join us at our server here! Mingle with other candidates, ask questions, and, of course, enjoy some quality memes.

Tl;dr: We are casting for the official, creator-approved dub of the Korean fangame Danganronpa Another 2. We are looking for talented, passionate voice actors and Danganronpa fans like us to make this a reality! Join our Discord!

I can't wait to hear some awesome auditions! Win or lose, I hope everyone has fun and gains some experience.

*NOTE*: NO ONE WILL BE CAST BEFORE THE DEADLINE! So no need to rush or panic. 

*NOTE 2*: I will give serious feedback upon request, after which I will privately message you. This will be as professional of feedback as I can give, and you are certainly free to re-audition if you choose to.

Latest Updates

  • 1027 Reasons Why I Love You All

    Hello, everyone. Well, this is it. After around three weeks, we've finally reached the end of this casting call. I am absolutely, positively, blown away and thrilled that the turnout was as good as it was. In my most optimistic moments at the beginning of this project, I thought 300 would have been amazing. To get over a thousand auditions, even with a lot of them being subsequent auditions, shows the passion that Danganronpa fans have for the series. I wish I could show Spike Chunsoft, and LINUJ, the creator of this fangame, the level of love their fans have. I could go on with the sappiness, but I don't want to make this too long, haha. I'll be taking at least a day for casting, but I'm aiming for the end of the weekend. I have taken copious notes on every audition I've heard in these three weeks, so that should hopefully streamline the process. If you are cast and are not currently on the Discord, I will message you with the link. In a similar vein, I fully expect a mass exodus on the Discord following casting, and that's totally fine. I've really enjoyed talking to those who spoke up, and even seeing those who didn't speak join really made me happy. This casting call has brought out some of the best talent that Casting Call Club has to offer, and each one of you should feel proud of yourselves regardless of the turnout. I'll stop now because I'm rambling, but I wish you all nothing but the best. Thanks for everything, Sword of Swords
  • 775+ Auditions...And the Final Countdown.

    Just want to let everyone know that you have approximately ONE WEEK before the deadline! So if you wanna do more auditions, submit some redos, or bug all of your friends to audition, you better get moving! I'm extremely happy with the turnout and level of quality I've seen so far, and casting will definitely not be an easy decision once we reach the 11th. I'll likely need a day or two after the deadline to figure out the cast, but hopefully the pieces fall into place without too much trouble. I'm working on feedback for those who requested it in the last few days (I was away from my computer,) and everyone is still open to request some. I'll save most of the crying and thanking for casting, but I appreciate every one of you for making it so we're in a prime position to have the best possible cast I, or anyone else, could hope for. See you in a week or so! Sword of Swords
  • 424 + Update on Yuki's Lines

    Hey guys! Sorry for all of the updates, and I promise it's not just to say we have 424 auditions at the time of writing, haha. So, as one person has pointed out, there is a bit of confusion about how exactly to say Yuki's second line. Now, this is entirely my fault, as I should have provided more context than just the direction I wanted to voice to go in. Anyone who feels they'd like to try again/stone me to death is free to do so, but if you are still happy with your audition, that's fine! No one will be penalized for my stupidity. Keep up the great work, gang! - Sword of Swords
  • An Audition for Every Day of the Year + Our Tumblr!

    Hey guys! Just popping in to say, at the time of writing, we have 365 auditions. Just thought it was a funny number to have, haha. The quality of auditions continues to astound me! Reminder that you are free to re-audition either publicly or privately, ask for feedback, or join our Discord. We recently published our Tumblr! It will eventually be the source of an ask blog with the official cast, but for now we're posting character introductions, art, and project updates: https://sda2engblog.tumblr.com/ Just thought I'd let you guys know! - Sword of Swords
  • 200 Auditions?!

    I'm sorry for another update so soon, but this is an incredible milestone. I know that there are a lot of DR fans on this site, but this turnout has exceeded any expectations myself or the rest of the group had. I hope there will still be more to come! Thank you all so much! - Sword of Swords (P.S. For anyone yet to audition, don't feel intimidated. Upvotes will have little bearing on the final result, and I personally go through each audition and record feedback. Where you auditioned day 1 or wait until the last day, you have an equal chance.)

Sora (Soar-ah) - Ultimate ???
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted8847

Link to her official art


Official Profile:

"A girl who cannot remember anything except for the word Sora. Having forgotten her name, talent, and past, she participates in Hope’s Peak Academy’s school trip. Perhaps due to her desire to find her memories, she is a very curious girl with a somewhat blunt way of speaking." 



Director's Notes

The protagonist of SDRA2. Sora wakes up at the beginning of the game with no knowledge of her talent, past, or even her real name.  As she is the protagonist, the voice actress who plays her must be prepared to record many lines in a convincing, charismatic way. As such, the casting process for her will be stricter than the other characters, but please don't be too intimidated.


Voice:  

Original VA: N/A (However, LINUJ has answered it would be like Chiwa Saito (as Hitagi Senjogahara), Kana Hanazawa (as Kanade Tachibana), or Yoko Hikasa (as Kyoko Kirigiri) )

In the original game, Sora's voice is portrayed by the (male) creator run through a vocal changer. As such, there is no real frame of reference for her voice. However, from the game itself we can see that Sora is often calm and composed, and a girl who often speaks in a blunt and straightforward manner. Simply due to her protagonist nature I would suggest a Medium to Medium-Low range female voice, but as said before all interpretations are welcome.

  • (Hesitantly/Slightly pained) Sora...That's the only thing...I can think of...

  • (Narrating)  No one could manage a single word...as we all struggled to comprehend the unearthly feeling that permeated the atmosphere. 

  • (Firmly/Declaratory) NO, THAT'S WRONG!   
                                            This is our answer!   
                                            I agree with that!

Role assigned to: soluri

Official Profile


"An ordinary boy who was selected by a lottery to be this year’s Ultimate Luck Student.. He lacks confidence due to how he was selected to attend Hope’s Peak Academy, but he does his best to befriend his fellow classmates. He sees himself as very average, but his likable nature allows him to connect with others more easily than his classmates."





Director's Notes




The secondary protagonist of the game, at least so far as its current progress. Typically polite and a bit timid, he is prone to being surprised/embarrassed/fearful/etc. As such, whoever gets the role must be able to express a wide range of emotion in his voice acting. Furthermore, he speaks even more than Sora, the actor/actress cast must be prepared for that.





Voice



Original VA: Shirogane Naoto(CV.Romi Park)




In the original game Yuki is voiced by a female voice actor, much in the same vein as other young male characters in the series. However, as this is project is a localization in the same vein as the main series, where young males are still played by males, both male and female actresses will be considered. As stated before, the chosen VA must have a very expressive and wide range.



If voiced by a male: Medium-high pitch, youthful

If voiced by a female: Low pitch, slight rasp. Similar to Naegi's Japanese VA. 



EDIT: In the second line, Yuki is finally giving in to Shinji who has been encouraging him to shout that and to generally be more confident, hence the forced/embarrassed aspect of it, as well as why it's comedic. Sorry if this was unclear.



  • (Slightly apologetic/Polite) Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Yuki Maeda, this year's Ultimate Lucky Student.

  • (Forced/Embarrassed/Comedic) I'M THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUYYYYY!!!!!!!

  • (Determined/Serious) I agree. The only way to figure out what's going on is if we go there. Everyone else is leaving, Sora, so we better go too.

Syobai Hashimoto (Sho-ba-ee Hash-ee-moh-toh) - Ultimate Trafficker

Role assigned to: projectalpha22

Link to his official art


Official Profile

"The Ultimate Trafficker who mediates all kinds of underworld dealings. He’s a prominent figure in the criminal underbelly of society, but few are even aware of his existence as an individual. He values his confidentiality above all else, and is an expert at avoiding and exploiting loopholes in the law. Despite his occupation, he does have his own form of ethics, and always completes his jobs to perfection...Unless he’s bribed. In his opinion, your life is the most important thing in the world, followed closely by money. Everything he does is a based on a cost-benefit analysis: from trading to breathing, profit is always the bottom line. Overall, it is his basic nature to never act in a way that doesn’t benefit himself."



Director's Notes

One of the fifteen students in Hope's Peak Academy's freshman class. Apathetic, rude, and alienating, the other students tend to not like or trust him, and he seems to feel the same way. The actor cast must be able to portray an outwardly-unlikable character without making them too grating. On the other hand, Syobai shouldn't come across as too "cool" either, as there are legitimate reasons why people dislike him. It's a bit of a balancing act.


Voice

Original VA: Aadachi Tohru(CV. Madono Mitsuaki)


While his original voiced lines are limited to clips,  we have a pretty good idea of how we'd like Syobai to sound:
Medium-Medium low pitch. Speaks in a bit of a drawling, lazy way. Has a mocking/apathetic tone to his voice most of the time. Overall, is typically rude and dismissive to the other students. His voice should have a bit of rasp/maturity to it, as he is seen to be older than some of the other students.


  • (Wistful/Slightly Sarcastic) Damn, and here I thought I could live a relaxing island life by myself... but looks like I wasn't alone.

  • (Serious) A person's name is worth more than you think. Your name represents everything that you are.

  • (Condescending/Insulting) Maybe if you shut your mouth for two seconds, you might get some answers. He's trying to give an explanation.

Role assigned to: momdestroyer

Link to her official art


Official Profile

"A genius recognized by the scientific community in the United States for her groundbreaking research and papers. Being an expert on human emotions, she was scouted to Hope’s Peak as the Ultimate Psychologist. Due to her advanced insight into human vital signs and thought patterns, she can predict the behaviour of others and essentially “read their minds”. However, this insight causes her to have problems socializing, as her ability to predict what people will say causes her to alienate herself. Despite her expertise in human emotion, her own emotional responses are, ironically, subdued."



Director's Notes

Kokoro is, in many of her lines, a rather emotionless character. The struggle for the actor chosen to portray her will be to say these flat, almost-robotic lines without being boring. Also, she tends to be loquacious in her speech, so be prepared!


Voice

Original VA: Blanc (CV. Asumi Kana)

In the original game, Kokoro is in many ways the "emotionless girl" stereotype in anime where she doesn't express much emotion or react strongly to outside stimuli. We feel that this should stay unchanged in the dub,  So, to summarize:
High to Medium-High pitch with a bit of rasp. Tends to speak in a monotone manner. Beep boop science robot.

  • (Uninterested)...Kokoro Mitsume, Ultimate Psychologist...I believe.

  • (First sentence: faux-curious with slight mimicking tone/Second sentence: matter-of-fact)).....We had all our belongings taken away, so how could I possess this...? ...That's what you're curious about.

  • (Tense/serious)...So you mean...The purpose of this field trip is to have us kill each other...correct?

Official Profile

"The Ultimate Boxer who never backs down, even to adult, professional boxers. Hajime has already won numerous titles despite his youth, and plans to take his sport to an even grander stage after graduation. He is obsessed with the health of himself and others, and resents those who do not take their health seriously."



Director's Notes

Hajime, (no, not THAT Hajime,) is in many ways a very "bro" sort of character. He's usually pretty agreeable and cooperative, but has that edge of bravado and aggression that can make him a bit unapproachable. His emotions are big and he can really rage sometimes, so whoever is cast needs to be capable of sounding threatening.


Voice

Original VA: (CV.Akabane Kenji)

As previously stated, Hajime has a voice that elicits an image of the stereotypical bro. It should be Medium-low to Low. Has a confident, somewhat arrogant tone. When he expresses negative emotions, they tend to be loud and large. His manner of speaking should be relatively casual, but with a bit of intensity behind it.

  • (Polite/Cheerful) Ah, so you're a classmate. I'm Hajime Makunouchi, A boxer. Nice to meet ya.

  • (Flustered/Angry) The hell did you say?! You making fun of boxing?!

  • (Pleased/Slightly instructing) Sure thing. Nothin' more important than caring about your health. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me any time.

"The Ultimate Billiards Player who suddenly took the world by storm when she won the International Amateur Championship in a series of perfect games.She has a laidback and optimistic personality, and she often treats others like children due to her mature appearance.The only time she opens her right eye is when she is playing billiards, and it is never seen otherwise. She calls this her “devil’s eye”, and claims that an enormous power is hidden within it..."



Director's Notes

Setsuka is the team mom of the group. The voice actress playing her must at times be able to sound doting without being condescending, and occasionally take on the role of the serious "parent".


Voice

Original VA: C-sha(CV.Tomatsu Haruka)

Setsuka should have a medium-low female voice that has a noticeable undertone of maturity to it. She typically talks in a laid-back, cheerful way, and her voice should be able to express this. "Motherly" is the best way to describe Setsuka, and her voice should reflect this.

  • (Laid-back/Cheerful) Good to meet ya! Your big sis here is named Setsuka Chiebukuro. Hope we get along!

  • (Faux-Menacing/Over-dramatically) This eye has some very special powers. Mwahaha...

  • (Concerned)...What do we do? Even your big sis can't keep up with what's going on.

Role assigned to: bblackroses

Official Profile

"The vocalist of 'Melody Rhythm', a popular music duo. Hibiki always performs alongside her guitarist twin sister, and the two of them enrolled at Hope’s Peak at the same time. She cares about her sister, Kanade, but often treats her harshly due to her “older sister” complex. Furthermore, she may also harbour some feelings of jealousy and inferiority towards her twin. Hibiki always claims that the way she treats her sister is a joke, but does Kanade feel the same way..?"



Director's Notes

Hibiki is, in many ways, the traditional "bratty young girl" character. She acts cutesy most of the time, but can be mean and aggressive towards those she dislikes. This behaviour is seen most prominently through her interactions with her sister. The actress cast must be able to convincingly show both the sweet side and the sour side of Hibiki's personality.


Voice

Original VA: Ram (CV.Ishihara Kaori)

As stated, Hibiki should have the traditional anime brat voice. It should be High pitched and very cutesy, but harsh and biting when she's angry. She is quite an emotional person, so emotional range is mandatory. Singing ability is a definite plus, but not a requirement.

*NOTE*: If there is an actress capable of portraying both Hibiki and Kanade, that is a definite plus. However, taking on this dual role is 100% optional, and if no one is capable of or wishes to do both roles, the twins will be cast separately.

  • (Cheerful/cutesy) I'm Hibiki Otonokoji! And she's Kanade! My twin sister.

  • (Angry/Bratty) Call me "sister"!! Why do you suddenly think you can call your sister by her name, huh? Am I your friend or something?!

  • (Fearful/on the verge of tears) I-I don't know what's going on anymore...I wanna go home...

    (COMPLETELY OPTIONAL) Sing a portion of a song in whatever language you wish

Official Profile


"A guitarist who plays in the band “Melody Rhythm”, a popular music duo. Kanade performs alongside her twin Hibiki, who leads the pair on vocals. The two of them joined Hope’s Peak Academy at the same time.. She's very weak-willed and has trouble expressing her opinions, resulting in her getting pushed around by her sister. opinions that well and gets harassed by her sister. Despite the emotional abuse she receives from her sister, she is dependent on her, and almost seems to prefer being dominated by her. Still, she possesses a hidden strength, and sometimes surprises others when it emerges."





Director's Notes



Kanade is typically a straightforward role as she is often shy and timid. However, she does possess a dark side in which her whole demeanor and voice changes, so the actress chosen must be able to show off both of these sides without either seeming weaker.





Voice



Original VA: Ogata Chieri(CV. Oozora Naomi)



Hibiki should have a voice similar to her sister, but one that is much more shy and timid. Therefore, she should have a High-pitched voice. HOWEVER, on occasion she displays a darker, more aggressive personality.  Therefore, the actress cast must be able to do her shy, high-pitched voice AND a lower, more aggressive voice.



*NOTE*: If there is an actress capable of portraying both Hibiki and Kanade, that is a definite plus. However, taking on this dual role is 100% optional, and if no one is capable of or wishes to do both roles, the twins will be cast separately.

  • (Shy/Polite) H-Hello! I'm Kanade Otonokoji...a guitarist....

  • (Fearful/Panicked) Eeek!! S-sorry, sister, p-please don't be angry!

  • (Furious/deeper voice than usual) Why don't you just shut the hell up, you bitch?!

"The Ultimate Firefighter who became the youngest known member of his field thanks to his immense physical strength and sense of justice. He is a bit older than his current classmates due to a major accident that left him hospitalized, but he was permitted to continue attending Hope’s Peak now that he has recovered. He is a passionate man who gives his all no matter what, but his weakness for women often reduces him to a bashful mess."



Director's Notes

Shinji is another character where we're going to be picky about casting, because he is a favourite character among our staff. On a more serious note, the actor playing Shinji will have to have a lot of energy, as many of his lines are quite passionate and loud. Conversely, he also has moments of quiet mortification,  so a skilled actor is a necessity.


Voice

Original VA: Kamina (CV. Konishi Kazuyuki)

Shinji should, much like his original voice, be a character of great passion, emotion, volume, and energy. He should have a more mature voice than the other students due to his size and older age, and should fall into the Medium-Low to Low pitch range. While he is usually loud and proud, when he's embarrassed his voice should sound much quieter, meeker, and less confident.

  • (Jovial) Anyway, nice to meet ya. You must be my classmates, right? I'm the Ultimate Firefighter, Shinji Kasai.

  • (Passionate/Motivational) TOO SOFT!! Be more confident, would ya!! Say it with me: “I'm the world's greatest guy”!!!!!!

  • (Extremely embarrassed/bashful)...Yo, Yuki. You shoulda told me there was a girl watching. I wanna kill myself right now.

"Believing that the best way to communicate with the world is through pen and paper, he gained the title of Ultimate Journalist for his uncanny ability to gather information. He lives by the motto that “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and he values his more than anything. He tends to be oblivious to his surroundings when on the hunt for a scoop, but, despite his eccentricities, he’s a typical high school student who loves to talk. "



Director's Notes

Nikei is a character of great energy and comic relief. The actor chosen must have a good sense of comedic timing and be able to express a lot of emotion, as Nikei wears his on his sleeve.


Voice

Original VA: Tohno Shiki (CV.Nojima Kenji)

We're looking for a Medium pitch male voice with tons of energy and animation when speaking. Should sound likable and a bit naive, and shouldn't hold back with emotion.

  • (Energetic/Slightly dramatic)Wherever there's a scoop, my pen is never far behind! Ultimate Journalist, Nikei Yomiuri, at your service!

  • (Gleeful/Envious) Man, you're awesome! It's literally the first day and you're already hanging out with a girl!

  • (Intrigued/talking to himself) Oooh, this is gold. "Nefarious Crime, or Scholastic Event?" Yeah, that would definitely be today's headline.

Role assigned to: sword of swords


Official Profile

"A young man who dresses like a stage magician and dons a bizarre mask. He came to Hope’s Peak as the Ultimate Wizard, but no one has seen him perform magic to verify that claim. He never speaks, regardless of what’s going on around him, and, thanks to his mask, it’s impossible for anyone to get a read on him."



Director's Notes

Mikado is a character with a wide range of theatrical emotions. He can be silly and flighty one minute, and deathly serious the next. The actor chosen for this role must be able to swap between emotions quickly and express some in a dramatic way.



Voice

Original VA: Hazama (CV. Nakamura Yuichi)

As previously stated, Mikado has a wide range of emotions. Therefore, his voice should be a Medium to Medium-Low pitch that is slightly flamboyant when energetic, and dark and gruff when angry. Ultimately, he should generally sound like a mix between a stage magician and the Phantom of the Opera.

  • (Theatrical/Jovial) Salutations! I am the great Mikado Sannoji. Were you truly that surprised by my mastery over magic? I am known as the Ultimate Wizard, after all.

  • (Serious/Commanding) That thing is dangerous! Everyone, get behind me!

  • (Faux-wistful/Lamenting) Although, in my heart of hearts, I've always yearned to try out the role of hero.

Official Profile

"Beginning her rise to fame in the beloved series “Harry Peter”, she recently starred in a blockbuster film as “Holly Queen”. Throughout her career, she has earned numerous international awards for her acting. After filming her most recent movie, she decided to take a leave of absence and focus on her studies by attending Hope’s Peak Academy. Longing to experience life as a regular girl, she hopes that she will not be treated as a celebrity by her fellow students. Beautiful and kind, though somewhat airheaded, she is a calming and positive presence for her classmates."



Director's Notes

Despite being an actress, Emma is typically one of the more grounded characters in the game. Her emotions are reasonable for the situation, and she is mostly a calming presence. Whoever is cast for this role must be able to express realistic emotion that isn't too over-the-top.


Voice

Original VA: Von Einzbern, Irisviel (CV.Oohara Sayaka)

As stated, Emma is a character of realistic emotion. She is a calming and kind character, though she can be a whimsical and out there due to her dramatic background. A good voice for her would be a Medium pitched female voice that is somewhat breathy/airy. She should sound fairly refined and dignified, reminiscent of Sonia Nevermind.


*NOTE*: Since her name and appearance are loosely based on Margot Robbie an Australian accent is an acceptable way to voice her, as long as it's not cartoon-y.

  • (Politely dismissive in answer to Yuki being starstruck) For now, I'm not “actress Emma Magorobi”, but just “Ultimate Actress, Emma Magorobi.”

  • (Wistful/Dramatic) Things that were lost, things that have happened, let us put it all behind us. We should simply be thankful for the world we live in now.

  • (Frightened/on the edge of panic) T-that means I could die...at any time...No matter where I run...

Role assigned to: InsomniaVA

Link to her official art


Official Profile

"The Ultimate Painter whose paintings are so lifelike they can’t be distinguished from photographs. Born into an influential family of artists, she carries on the legacy of painting excellence. Despite her talents, she is a typical young woman who just wants to make friends and have fun. While she can be a bit fearful, she maintains an optimistic outlook in most situations."



Director's Notes

It's important that whoever portrays Iroha can maintain an almost infinite cheerfulness. Rather than changing emotions, it's more a matter of altering her level of optimism. That being said, she can be upset/scared, so range is important, as always.


Voice

Original VA: Koshimizu Sachiko:(CV. Taketatsu Ayana)

We would describe the voice we're looking for with Iroha as: High pitched. Very bubbly and enthusiastic when happy. Described in game as “a bit too positive”, and the voice should reflect that. Generally big with her emotions whatever they might be. She should be not quite as high as Hibiki and Kanade, but should sound girly and cute.

  • (Cheerful) I'm the Ultimate Painter, Iroha Nijiue! Hope we can get along!!

  • (Distraught/Shocked) Eeeeh? You lost your memories? That's awful! And it's our first semester and everything!

  • (Very optimistic, almost too much so) See, it's the first day on a beautiful island with brand-new friends! Of course I'm cheerful!

Yoruko Kabuya (Yoh-roo-koh Kah-boo-yah ) - Ultimate Hostess
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: LunaRaydue


Official Profile

"The Ultimate Hostess who was revered as the ace-in-the-hole of one of Japan’s most famous bars. Despite being underaged, she faked her identity in order to gain employment. Her status as a highschool girl was only revealed, ironically, when an acceptance letter from Hope’s Peak arrived at the bar. When her fake identity was discovered, she was given two options: attend Hope’s Peak, or face juvenile court. Despite the nature of her enrollment, Yoruko chooses to view her time at the school as a way to improve her future prospects. She takes great pride in her work as a hostess, and hates that people see it as seedy or debaucherous. Overall, she projects the image of a competent, personable young woman with a wide range of practical skills."



Director's Notes

Yoruko is a character with some traditional "tsundere" characteristics. However, this is not her entire personality, and she is often one of the more serious and levelheaded characters in the game. Whoever is cast as her has to be able to show the tsundere side in a realistic way, and also generally give off an air of competence and reliability. 


Voice

Original VA: Noire(CV.Imai Asami)

For Yoruko, we're looking for a Medium-High pitched voice that has a hint of a breathy sound. Has a girly, teenager sort of voice, but she tends to err towards trying to sound serious. When upset, her voice gets higher and sharper.

  • (Polite while introducing herself/A bit defensive in the second part.) I'm Yoruko Kabuya. You'll probably take this the wrong way, but... I got in as the Ultimate Hostess.

  • (Acting nonchalant, but slightly embarrassed)I had no choice, y'know? I didn't WANT to wear this... We were told to wear clothes that matched our talents, remember?

  • (Angry/Panicking) Do we seem calm to you?! Not only did we wake up on this weird island in the middle of nowhere, but things have only gotten weirder since!

Yuri Kagarin (Yoo-ree Kah-gah-reen) - Ultimate Spaceman
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: jrlarson


Official Profile


"A young man of Russian and Japanese parentage, he is the only son of the prestigious Kagarin family. Groomed from an early age to inherit the powerhouse of the astrological industry, he “practiced” his talent as a child by riding an escalator. In a few years he will become an astronaut, though he does not seem to be particularly interested in that. Having been treated like the prince of the Kagarin family for all of his life, he has experienced little of the world and faced very few adversities.

He is chivalrous and generous towards women, (though he hates men,) but his devotion to women typically crosses over into the extreme, and as a result he is often seen as a pervert." 





Director's Notes



Yuri is very much a comic relief character for much of his screen time, and whoever is chosen to play him must have good comedic timing. Furthermore, they must be able to sound very flirtatious and chivalrous with the female characters, but dismissive and callous toward males.





Voice



Original VA: Giorno Giovanna(CV.Namikawa Daisuke)



For Yuri, the #1 thing you can do to get brownie points is to do a decent Russian accent. We really, really want him to have an accent, so anyone who manages one will be considered much more strongly. As for tone, his voice is deeper than you'd expect, and is around the Medium-Low range. His voice should typically be very smooth and playful.

  • (Flirtatious) Oh, Хорошо (hah-rah-sho)! Even your name is wonderful. I'm the Ultimate Spaceman, Yuri Kagarin. Please remember that.

  • (Casual/Matter-of-fact) Oh, did I upset you? So sorry about that. You see, I'm a being that exists solely for women, so I consider males to be as insignificant as pebbles in the street.

  • (Serious/Over-dramatic) My Kidnapping Sense is tingling. As a veteran of being kidnapped, I've got a feeling that this must be a kidnapping on a grand scale!

Role assigned to: NuzikVA


Official Profile


"A mysterious man who introduced himself as the financial officer of the Kisaragi Foundation. In the past, he was a student at Hope’s Peak Academy and was called the Ultimate Merchant. The other students have trouble trusting him because of the strange things he says."





Director's Notes



Fairly open with his feelings, so the chosen actor must be able to show a range of uninhibited emotions.





Voice



Original VA: Pannacotta Fugo(CV.Oda Hisafumi)




For Teruya,  we're looking for a Medium Pitched male voice that has a lot of emotion. He can be serious, excitable, or emotional, so his voice should make whatever he is feeling obvious.



  • (Polite/Cheerful) Me? I'm the Ultimate Merchant? Well, FORMER Ultimate Merchant. It's nice to meet you!

  • (Resolved/Determined) ....Yeah. It's time we end this. That's the only way...The only way those guys can rest in peace.....

  • (Stunned/Afraid) No, t-this can't be happening.. This can't be...

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Kenkoy


Official Profile

A mysterious woman who introduces herself as a member of the Kisaragi Foundation. Formally the Ultimate Professor, she now carries out a mission to find a certain person. She projects an aura of seriousness and professionalism that makes her seem cold, but she cares more about others than she lets on.


Director's Notes

Actor must project the image of a serious, driven woman who has an air of competence. That's pretty much her main mode.


Voice

Original VA: Ange Ushiromiya (CV. Sato Rina)

For Rei's voice, we'd like a Medium to Medium-Low pitch female voice with a mature and serious tone. In many ways she should sound like the typical "serious woman" anime voice.

  • (Business-like) My name is Rei Mekaru. I was once known as the Ultimate Professor, but now I work for the Kisaragi Foundation.

  • (Authoritative/Cold) You will be placed in the custody of the Kisaragi foundation until you are handed over to the court. After that, I don't care what happens to you.

  • (Regretful) Honestly, we should have caught him during the "Ryutaro Incident"...but I made a fatal error...

Monocrow (Mon-oh-crow)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted14537


Official Profile

A bird-like creature who claims to be the supervising teacher on the Hope's Peak Academy field trip. He forces the students into taking part in a "field trip of mutual killing" and claims to hold dominion over the Isle of Nowhere. Unlike other certain white-and-black mascots, Monocrow is not especially silly in his tone or words, but is more menacing and droll. Brags that he's the crowiest crow to ever crow a crow, but how much crow can a crowing crow crow, anyway?


Director's Notes

As the "Mono" of SDRA2, Monocrow is an extremely significant role. He needs to be that level of menacing necessary to make him seem like a genuine threat, so casting for this role will be especially strict.


Voice

Despite his cute appearance and contrary to Monokuma, Monocrow has a very deep, mature voice. Deeper than any other character in the game, his voice should elicit comparisons to powerful villains. He is much more deliberate in his speech than Monokuma, and should sound smug and in control during most of his lines. This isn't your regular "Mono" character, boys and girls, and the same vocal tricks won't work here. Low Pitch is the name of the game, and undertones of maturity and gruffness are crucial.

  • (Proudly) The crowiest crow to ever crow a crow...I am Monocrow.

  • (Dismissively/Droll) Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Literally. Why even bother...

  • (Gloating/Menacingly) So, in the end, everything I said still applies. You all have no choice but to participate in this school trip of mutual killing. Hehehe...Ahahahaha!!
