Well this was quite possibly one of the worst animes that i ever saw.
Pink blood, bad art style, non existent or very VERY bad story, shallow character and cliffhanger ending.

If i look at the score i think this post will get me a lot of hate but whatever.
But wow...seems like i can rate an anime with a 1 score here.

I really liked this series and the plot around it. It's a typical survival game, but I like these kinds of anime. I hope they make Super Dangan Ronpa 2 an anime, and at the end it suggests that it will happen.
I also wanted to see what kind of world they stepped into. I don't like anime leaving it with a blank white space for our imagination to run wild.
Overall its a 9/10

thank god i did myself a favor and read the rest of it,honestly if they had made this 26 episodes it could have turned out an bit better (still think P4 is one of the better more recent game adaptations)

Junko's VA is great so at least that made this "lame!" ending watchable


time to start reading Super since there seems to be hints for it.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

The final episode was executed the best, but overall for a video game anime adaption, it could've been done alot better and not at the quickened pace it was done at. Still recommend playing the game afterwards. I would give this generously about 6/10. Still love Kirigiri <3

What the hell are you guys talking about? This episode was 5/5, whole anime was 10/10. Naegi's speech at the end gave me goosebumps. Such a well-developed, all around flawless character. Everyone else was fantastic, too.

Does anyone have a Naegi-esque Obama Hope poster I can use?

And what if all love is an act of bravery?

As expected, the anime was no where close to being as amazing as the game - but it was still really great to see some of my favourite characters animated, and the use of the in-game soundtrack which dragged up my memories of the game with each scene.

If I was recommending DR to anyone I would still recommend them the game way over the anime, but as a fan I still enjoyed it to some extent - though the way we lost a lot of characterisation and how some plot point were barely passed over was disappointing.

Outside of the character development part (Which I still don't think is necessarily true, although a lot is left out from the game because free time events kind of had to be cut out), your complaints make me think that you don't even really get the point of the series.

The pink blood was there partially to add to the ridiculousness of the story, and because this was a very faithful adaptation. The game had to censor the blood in order to prevent itself from getting a Cero D rating, which the equivalent of an adults only rating. But the pink blood that resulted from the censorship ended up kind of just becoming part of the style of the series, being used in all of the games and other material, outside of DanganRonpa Zero (Which was pretty awful).

The art style is purposely 'bad' or 'ridiculous'. The game was essentially meant to be a competitor to the Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney series, which is another series with trials and ridiculous-looking character with ridiculous personalities. It's something that is just really appealing to Japanese audiences, because they are really into the kind of dark comedy, ridiculous characters thing. The games sell really well in Japan because of this, especially now that there is a shit ton of new Dangan Ronpa games and merchandise that has been announced over the last few months.

Also, non-existent story? Did you not pay even pay attention? Because there is quite a few plotpoints that begin to tie everything together with each and every chapter, especially starting with the third chapter. And the story is essentially identical in the game, nothing that I can really think of was left out. It did exactly what this type of story should do, it had a bunch of smaller mysteries tied together by one big mystery.

Also, since when is having a cliffhanger a bad thing? I mean sure, if it's a cliffhanger for no real reason or things that SHOULD have been explained weren't, that's one thing. But everything that NEEDED to be wrapped up was. As for what it is like on the outside world was left out, because it is not the focus of Dangan Ronpa. It is the focus of Dangan Ronpa Zero, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode, and possibly Super Dangan Ronpa 2 (I can't really say, since whether it is or isn't would be a spoiler).

Junko's split personalities was done quite well. Dat plot!

I am the only one expecting the gatling gun at the gate to be activated and kill them all when Naegi push the button? That will be the eviliest thing they can do.

I wonder if they gonna animate SDR2, I don't know how to feel if they did it. One hand, I want to know what its about since the game hasn't been translated but on the other hand, the adaption won't be satisfying.

Although if ZE (either game) got an anime adaptation I think it'd be pretty bad as well. Multiple endings to convey all the information needed to make sense of the whole plot would be iffy. Although Madoka Magica pulled off the alternate timeline thing pretty well and really only the Safe and True ending are the important ones for 999. But still, VLR would be a mess.

I don't know. On the one hand, I'm somewhat excited for SDR2, if that was a confirmation, but at the same time...given how this adaptation turned out, I'd rather not go through it.

Junko's such an awesome character. Kirigiri & she are pretty close to being on the same level of like for me.

If I don't compare it to the game, I guess it was decent. If I do compare it to the game, it was bad.

Will give 5/10.

They kept reusing Junko's scenes, and her action of using her hand to cover her face seems like a cheap way to reduce the cost of animating her facial and mouth movement. I think *normal* Junko looks awesome though, her VA's great too.

For the series, pacing was bad except for episode 10 to 12. Ending was not as well animated as the previous episodes. I give episode 1 to 12 a 6.5/10.

Overall 6/10. A decent watch and entertainment, but with no rewatch value

I take into account that there is a second game and this adapts the first.

Still, the series got progressively more meh as it went on and this last episode felt like a big joke. Maybe that perception isn't misplaced as the whole world is pretty far fetched and crazed out. I don't think I could read one more hope this or despair that. So 6/10 on this one. Even with that said if there is a follow up to this anime I would watch it as it will prob be more interesting.

WTF? O.O I'm more confused now.. because of what Monobear said in the ending. Does this mean that he's the father of Kirigiri and he's the real mastermind? or he was just confusing us watchers.. omg . help me .. esp. to those who have played the game..
and i wonder who's that another bear.. so there will be a sequel?


he is definitely not Kirigiri's father, he's totally bones in a box, remember? Monobear is just making his statement of still being the headmaster even after Junko being executed. That part is just there to mess with your head and tell you that this isn't over.

That's monomi! there is a sequel to the game but about the anime, we will see if that happens or not.

...eh, none-too-impressed.

I really really enjoyed this series but the ending really puts a damper on things. It just wasn't...exciting like I had hoped (felt a bit childish with all those bullets flying around). And I also felt they left a few things unexplained...I personally feel a bit confused.

I was able to excuse the lack-of-suspense because I don't play the game and was always looking forward to the cases being solved but boy was the finale anti-climatic. And for this kind of show, you really do need a great ending.

Maybe a sequel would redeem it...

At least it was really good throughout :)

Kirigiri's smile is a rare emotion...i never see her smile like that in the game...LOL

i'll admit it....when the last punishment has been start, i get a boner of it....hahahha

Monomi shows up on the ending credit...i hope it will be the sign that they will animate the SRD2...

This episode was really good. Surprisingly the world was in despair and they were survivors. I wouldn't say this series was the best because it was too faced paced. They didn't give us time to grow attached to a character. When people died throughout the series, I was like "Ehh... It's no biggie." But I am excited to see the new season. I wonder when it'll come out.
