    "HIYA KIDDOS"

    I absolutely love the teddy bear Monokuma, he's like my spirit animal with the way he comes out with stuff and that's always trolling to get on everyones nerves. As dark I am, I think he is just totally cute! I was quite surprised that most of the reviews here didn't like this first adaption of Danganronpa at all! I find it enjoyable and that each character had their own unique personalities. The psychological vibe on this would really dive you into a world of thriller and mystery like I find that entertaining lol! Seriously though I thought this first adaption was class and I only found out about this anime series not too long ago.

    I am really glad I got the chance to watch this anime, it was terrifyingly good. Also note for the parents, do not show this to kids, there so much messed up stuff on it that it is quite scary! In my opinion, I give this anime a 8/10 for its thrilling ride of monopoly!!!!

    It was good but the game was better

    This adaptation is good but they went a little rushed in some of the scenes for explaining. The class trials were one episode. Maybe they should have been two episodes like the last one. But I don't understand why people hate it. It wasn't bad.

    Meh

    I used to love this anime, until of course I played the games. The anime is way too fast pace and doesn't really give the viewer time to breathe. The game on the other hand is 20-60 hours and you can take your time and savor it. It's also missing the free time in which the characters could be developed.

    Amazing Plot

    Honestly liked the sow a lot binged it in one day. There's a lot of suspense in the show a lot of tension. The characters aren't written very well, But the animation is beautiful and the plot add ons. It starts off as a pretty mediocre show, you can easily guess who committed most of the murders. The end wasn't very good either pretty cliche,like the good always wins kind and them not showing the outside world at the end made it seem like it was just a advertisement for their game. They could've done so much better compared to game but i would still recommend watching this show if you're into fast paced animes. Its pretty short so i dont regret watching it mediocre though.

    Very rushed

    Danganronpa could be a better show if it wasn't so rushed, paid more attention to the characters, and maybe went ahead with the game. I suggest watching it through the first murder case to decide if you want to continue or not. Regardless, go into this without high expectations or play the game as most players suggested.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The blood in the anime is pink due to the somewhat iconic status of the color choice in the game. This was originally to bypass Japanese censorship laws that would have heavily restricted the game's sales (equivalent to an ESRB rating of AO: "Adults Only," which prevents the game from being sold in stores) if the blood had been realistically red.
    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: The beginning of the credits sequence is made to look like an arcade game, with a high score of 11037. This score corresponds to the sequence of "numbers" that turned out to be Leon's name written in blood at a crime scene early in the series.
