Erebus25 said: NotAPeanut said: Monokuma does have a valid reason. It's the same reason as always, really. The Future Foundation is the last bit of hope in the world, and Monokuma wants them all to suffer in the ultimate despair before they die. It's what he always wants and now that Naegi, the Ultimate Hope is there as well, he wants to settle things with him once and for all. saying that when it has turned into an armed combat... and it really has no impact the way it did in the first game lol What did you expect to happen in a world after WWW3? We were already told humanity is in deep shit. Global war and daily killing hapening. Remnant of despair were Junkos henchman. It was clear glass clear what happened outside. We got all the information/photos and so on. Junko`s goal is to push humanity in the abyss. To let humankind suffer in despair. The first game has the biggest impact on the plot because Junko dies and? Dunno what your point is what we see now is the final chapter of the story. The last fight between everything that is left of our villains vs the future foundation. The organisation that keeps the world somewhat solid/stable after everything. So idk what you expect to happen in a fucked up world full of terrorism, war and fights in a post apocalyptic world. |

And this is a TV series now..............Huh. It has been a day of revelations. danieltortoisee said: So, the blood's not red anymore? That's strange, as that seemed to be as much an icon of Danganronpa as Monokuma is. Since when was blood red in Danganronpa????? It has always been pink. Man.... you just spoil yourself with the biggest plot twist for the second game... I feel pitty on you if you decided to play it since the shock value will be gone |

i thought that it's kinda cool to have the sick-looking mask girl to take action on capturing mikan. she looks kinda insane in the membrane i hope she's a surviving character :0 and i also like this monaca look-alike girl who doesn't speak but she seems so suspicious since she so calm towards the situation they're in.  and i think there's an explanation on why ryota is late to the conference probably he's planning something or even the mastermind behind all of this, well i'm not sure actually.  |
| be the ultimate swordsman. get shut down and repelled by the student council prez there's no justice |

It's good to see the actor who played Yu Narukami in Persona 4, finally get to play another role. |
coolyoyo33 said: NotAPeanut said: Not a bad start to the end of the Hope's Peak storyline. My only real problem with it so far was that it wasn't entirely clear how long it's been since the second game and what exactly happened between DR2 and this. I have to admit, seeing red blood instead of pink actually kinda took me by surprised. I'm gonna have to get used to that. I am liking Monokuma's new voice actress way more than when I first heard her, so that's pretty good. Tomorrow we're heading into the Despair Chapter. I already know that seeing the DR2 characters going through that hell is going to be painful for me. This takes place a bit after Naegi and co. return back to the future foundation, they then suspect him of treason and thus this happens. Oh, I see. I was a little confused because Naegi and the others seem to have grown quite a bit since the end of DR2. |
| Mikan I missed you. but... the best part was hearing Rie Kugimiya's voice after so long!!!!! I was replaying that part over and over just to savor that tsundere voice. |

Their age is around 20 and higher at this point of time. Nagei at this point of the Anime should be 21. World building? We had 4 games for world building. We saw the outside world overrun by monokuma robotos killing everyone for example: https://youtu.be/9cD63IqzGF4?t=668 We also saw them fighting the Monokuma robots: https://youtu.be/2Si2rR3P9eE?t=20 We know who did it. We know exactly what happened outside for sure WWW3. We will now see how Junko started everything in SideDespair and we will see how the story will end for our main cast in SideFuture. I really dont know what you expected after everything we know. From the Anime only point of view sure you dont know anything. But for long time fans we pretty much got what we wanted so far. And yes a new trial killing game would be boring. But this time it is a survival game. No trials. No graduation. No execution from Monokuma. This time it`s a Battle Royal. Best example would be Mafia/WW game. |

Erebus25 said: "repeat of the first game" yeah it is, but its Danganronpa anyway, the story/plot never unfold in only episode 1. And as the building of the world, I can understand what are you talking but, Danganronpa's setting is ALWAYS when the world is in chaos but never directly told story about the chaos itself, (except Ultra Despair Girls). DR1, DR2, and even this DR3. DR mainly about killing game, with plot/situation of the world unfolds later on. Thats DR for you, like it or not.what I expected wasnt fighting between high schoolers, I expected a development of the story, building of the world (setting), not getting a 5 minute intro into the situation and repeat of the first game, which this time isnt interesting because the atmosphere is entirely different This is just my feeling, are you not playing/watch walkthrough/see synopsis/ whatever DR2? Some details about world situation is explained there, so no need to repeat that in this DR3. |
 |
| Phew, just finished the prequel in time. Great first episode! I absolutely loved the OP, especially the ED. I think I have to get used to Monokuma's new voice, but it was pretty decent. That ending, though.... RIP Yukizome.... Seems like the blood is not pink anymore. So let the killing game begin once again. I had the goosebumps. |
  |
| Suprisingly good, is this series is a death flag for Kirigiri? aand that was fast, RIP Yukizome. |

Since I expect that most of the people here would,'e played the second game, I'll say this: Pekoyama's execution was amazing. |

| Couple of things on my mind regarding the first episode so I'll just list them here: 1) Why did they have to change the Voice Actor for Monokuma?! He did a fantastic job in the original! Now it just sounds a bit bland. 2) I hope they give a log-sheet or formal introduction of all the students; kinda hard to remember their names and their titles. 3) Wow, She died quick. I knew that she had triggered a lot of death flags, but.....Wow. That was a new way to kill a person using a chandelier. 4) Where's Togami and Toko? If Hagakure can be there, then they should be in the anime somewhere. Leaving that aside, The First Ep. was fantastic and I'm successfully hyped. |

The original voice actor Nobuyo Ōyama has dementia so they had no choice in this matter. Togami should be in Towa City with Fukawa and Komaru. |
| Maaan that was good! Can we talk about how badass the Remnants of Despair were??? I'm just a little disappointed Byakuya and Toko aren't there, they're much more interesting than Hina and Hiro are. Hopefully they'll show up at the end? Btw, since this is happening after DR2, I can't wait for Thursday :B |

I think Byakuya and Fukuwa will show up IN Danganronpa 3 Mirai hen there is no way the creator going to sideline them considering this is final of Danganronpa 3 of hope peak saga. Yep Renament of Despair are all In coma except for couple others such as Hajime Hinata,Sonia nevermind and few others. Currently at Mirai Hen timline all of them should be still at Jabberwock Island I guess Future foundation doesn t know they are there |

Erebus25 said: Ketuekigami said: Did you miss the entire point of the games? You know.... how the mastermind could have killed them all at any time in DR1, but didn't because they had valid reasons. If at this point you don't know what Monokuma wants then you arent even paying attention dude... Saying that its "plot convenience" that FF weren't all killed right there is a ridiculous statement if you know anything about the DR franchise. And also, not sure what you expected the fights to be like. They introduced a ton of shounen like characters with shounen like power levels. Thinking that the fights between hope and despair wouldn't be "Anime" fights is pretty strange. it's not a problem of characters, this anime is continuation of the first game, as such I hoped it would explain what happened outside of Hope Peak and instead, as I said, it got turned into cheap shounen action with fights between Hopes and Despairs, basically I didnt expect fights in DR1 he did have valid reason to keep them alive, now, thanks to the above mentioned, he doesnt "This anime is a continuation of the first game".... Eh...m8, do you even DR2???? NO, This is not a continuation of the first game, this is a direct continuation of the second game Danganronpa 2, and if you don't know about what happens there, of course you woudn't be understanding the Hope vs Despair "shonen" shit that was happening in the beggining...Futhermore, Monokuma always have the same reason for all the games he does, that is, To make everyone DESPAIR, that's it, no other reason, he just wants to bring Despair to people, so he won't kill everyone, he will make them kill each other and make them feel despair that way... |

Neither of you are right or correct on well every point that has been made so far: The only ones I will probably agree with: 1. Despite a terrible way of describing the episode and your thoughts calling it trash, they are correct you can't even say anything bad as part of a review without getting backlash for it. 2. I mean I thought the episode was boring for the first few minutes the mystery that made it Danganronpa is just gone but that's just the first episode so I can't really say anything yet I mean they spent all that time in a room only to be locked in discussing Naegi's treason and accomplished nothing and one of them ends up on the outside by coincidence and it's the butt monkey of the group I mean the only thing that excited me was well the blood and the dead body of the guards and the girl. Will you gang up on too for having such a negative opinion on the episode? 3. There are other ways to express yourself and going into a forum saying your dislike of an episode as your first impression is trash you were basically asking for it despite giving reasons as to why it was so bad is acceptable later on you should of have done so in the first place. It's like going to a crowd of like someone at anime expo saying you hate anime expo's for example. I wasn't criticizing him m8, I even said that I understand him now, but I also wanted to make sure that he understand us and our reasons for liking what he didn't like, because him not understanding, was the core reason for this whole "discussion" in the first place. Now he is (probably) aware that someone who knows about the series and someone who doesn't, would clearly have different perspectives on this same first episode.... |

| I'm really hoping this gets better...it had weird pacing for the first 10 mins and strange animation. I don't want to be disappointed so I hope it picks up in future episodes! Its so bizarre seeing red blood in this series after being used to pink, but I like it. I really love the theme song of this one. I really need to refresh myself on the order of everything since I haven't played the games in forever. I can't believe people are watching this without playing SDR2 though! |
| " Hey isn't it a bad idea to have all our best members in one place?" " Nah, its fine. Our super top secret giant tower is undetectable" Outside of that. Perfectly fine opening. Better than I expected actually. It did annoy me that Makoto could of easily explained why he hid the despairs, but they beat on him and threaten the Hina and Kyoko. If only Byakuya was here to lay smackdown. The ending did get me pretty hype when they played Climax Reasoning. Love that track. My hope is that they show what the Ultimate Despairs are up to since Makoto and the others left them. Wouldn't be surprised if somehow they come to help as a way to prove Makoto right. |
| Good lord, why is the blood red? That's going to bother me for a long time. The pink blood was a staple of Dangan Ronpa. Other than that, that was pretty decent. I'm kinda out of the loop with the whole story of Dangan Ronpa as of now, since I haven't really watched the anime or kept up with the games since 2014, but hey, I was curious to see what this new anime would offer. |
 Was it the shyness in my soul that made me lonely just like you? No one noticed I was there, when I walked into the room. -Freddie Mercury |
| Not bad, very nice start. Too bad that first episodes will be killing each other again... or they wont? I havent played any game, but I think most of the story will repeat itself as it was in first season. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
Moony_Sea said: dragonofmars said: people's taste never ceases to surprise but to each his own. simply put, this show looks terrible & it's terribly written. literally nothing to like about it. 1/5 As you said "to each his own". But honestly it surprises me your level of discredit towards Danganronpa considering how high you rated other shows which are lot worse. I think your way of rating is inconsistent. Danganronpa’s previous anime had flaws, the story was rushed and it lacked of character development, the same may happen to this new season, but we do not know it yet. However is way superior to animes like Elfen Lied or Btooom! which you rated 10/10 and 9/10 respectively. Both of them are superficial, bland, generic, incoherent and have several plot holes, you could read the review of SN-chan of Btooom! and the one of Aryagari of Elfen Lied, in case you wish to have a more in depth analysis of them (both match my opinion on the shows). Hey, please, I suggest you leave him alone, We already had a long post chain with him and resolved the situation, there's no need to prolong it anymore... |
