Mr Poltroon Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Danganronpa 2 references Danganronpa 1 quite frequently. I think it'd be more of a surprise if a sequel didn't reference it's prequel. But by that logic: Umineko references Higurashi. Da Capo II references Da Capo Remember 11 references Ever17 Ever17 references Never 7 Remember 11 references Never 7 etc. 2 references etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequel makes fun of the prequel and I don't think every sequel does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't make that painfully clear, though. Anyhow, what they did was what I consider to be a good thing. They used the prequel to make the sequel better for those who had played said prequel. Making fun of things is just Danganronpa's style as well. I don't think it's that unusual, really. Umineko did the same. Then again, Umineko made a point of criticizing pretty much every mystery book/game/thing on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayana Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 References in these works are really cool, whether they're serious or comedic. However, I have come across too many in the huge number of VNs that I've read (given that what I look for are "referential" stories in the first place...) to specify anything notable enough. I could say that, so far, the highest amount of references (both of which are serious and comedic) I've seen in an eroge was in SubaHibi. Can't give any examples, though...

Mr Poltroon Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Little Busters'! "Love-Love Hunter" originally appears in Air. This, I didn't know. Or it may be a common term. I just thought it funny when I heard it all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagisa_Fawkes Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 In Da Capo III, they were discussing about mails that go through time, and this obvious reference to Steins;Gate came up. Attempt at translation: "For example a weird chemical reaction happens between a phone and a microwave, and the mail is sent to the past, or something" krill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosakyun Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The one everybody knows, Chie Rumiko from Higurashi being a Ciel (tsukihime) parody/reference. That's something new for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's something new for me. Huh. My assumption was wrong, then. Also, Kohaku referencing Grand Theft Auto in Kagetsu Tohya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
