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.
As a huge fan of Danganronpa, I feel like this show is just an okay adaptation of Trigger Happy Havoc. It's not terrible, but Danganronpa is kind of just better off as a game. The animation quality is amazing I will say though as well as the opening. If you aren't too invested in Trigger Happy Havoc, I would say you may find this show enjoyable either fully or mostly. If you're wanting to get into Danganronpa on the other hand, this show isn't recommended to start with. Play Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc first and then watch the show if you're still wanting to watch it after playing the game. When I first watched this show, I saw it had many aspects missing and it felt a bit rushed to get to the end. Not a terrible adaptation, but just okay to say the least. Still enjoyable at times though is something I should mention.
While I don't think it's the worst anime adaptation of a visual novel ever made, I wouldn't recommend this to someone who wants to get into Danganronpa, I'd rather recommend the games before and then maybe the anime.
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.
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.

- TriviaThe 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 creditsSPOILER: 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.
