| First impression for me: They put 15 characters in what I predict to be a 12 episode series. They better get killing fast. I'm taking a wild guess in saying that the characters with the least lines are gonna go first. Interesting cast of characters. Didn't expect the girl that had the title Gambler or the baseball guy (can't remember the names with the character overload) to be dressed like that. Also, I still don't know for sure if that buff person is a guy or a girl yet... Hopefully this turns into a good mystery that isn't completely obvious. I'm always up for a little deducing. |
Stark700 said: ihateeveryone said: Stark700 said: Do these kids have a leader or something btw? Define "leader." As in someone who gives out orders/commands and formulates a plan to get through this. I'm sure none of them is going to be Rick from Walking Dead but what if only one person had to die because all of them would gank that one person someway (maybe like that greek or roman leader who was stabbed by I think 12 people). That way they could all have killed someone. Though I don't think that stuffed toy would appreciate all them walking out of there, who of which each one had killed the same person. |
| Feels like losing all five senses & Maybe not able to have thoughts, Enjoi... |
| Interestingly, although the design of some characters annoying. And yet again shoved trap. |

| What a beginning scene. But I like the OST, OP, and ED. Monokuma, the headmaster of Hope's Peak Private Academy, tells fifteen students to kill each other to escape. At first, the fifteen wouldn't do it, but now they have a motive... So I expect someone to die soon. Here's the fifteen (with their specialties): Yasuhiro Hagakure (Super High School Level Fortune Teller). Hifumi Yamada (Super High School Level Doujin Author). Kiyotaka Ishimaru (Super High School Level Hall Monitor). Junko Enoshima (Super High School Level Fashion Girl). Chihiro Fujisaki (Super High School Level Programmer). Celestia Ludenberg (Super High School Level Gambler). Mondo Oowada (Super High School Level Biker). Leon Kuwata (Super High School Level Baseball Player). Aoi Asahina (Super High School Level Swimmer). Sakura Oogami (Super High School Level Wrestler). Touko Fukawa (Super High School Level Literary Girl). Byakuya Togami (Super High School Level Heir). Kyouko Kirigiri (Super High School Level ???). Sayaka Maizono (Super High School Level Idol). Makoto Naegi (Super High School Level Luck). In my opinion, the concept is interesting. I'll continue watching. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| The first episode seemed decent and is interesting. The first time i saw that Super Duper Programmer i thought ''Yup, he's a psycho'' since he seemed the type^^ |
| The voice actors cast is rather intersting. |
| Monobear creeps me out, the story is quite exciting on how it goes. The art is great. |
| The first episode does have that interesting feel to the whole break out or surviving theme. |
 |
| Am I the only one here who played the actual game before watching this anime version? By the way, the first episode is cool. :) |
 |
| First thought: 15 survivors in 12 episodes, this'll be rushed. It's kind of unsettling hearing Doraemon telling those kids to go murder someone. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Hmmm, I'm guessing only one can get out. I think. If it goes around on a killing spree I think. . . ? I don't know. But in the end someone will be left. So if someone goes ahead and hides. . . until it all ends. Then they'd also never get out (because they didn't kill anyone). But really, given that logic hmm oh well. Seems quite generic. I'm not a big fan of the style either. Reminds me alittle bit of Saw. |
| Uau! Really really interesting! :D xchee said: +10 lolIt's kind of unsettling hearing Doraemon telling those kids to go murder someone. |
| In every score, there's a feeling... |
| What an amazing start! I'm already loving the concept, this should definitely be interesting... Definitely giving me a SAW vibe, so I know I'm going to love this. |
| Well, nice first episode, I really enjoyed the game so I'm sure I'll enjoy the anime version as well. |
 |
| The monobear sounds so much like Doraemon! |

 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Oohh... upon listening to some of the characters, I feel like listening to Orochimaru and Doraemon lol. Not bad of a start. Kind of a survival game with an annoying Doraemon in a bear body. |
 |
| someone said this is exactly like Battle Royale ,he was lying i recall zoro voice |
 |
| That was okay. I'll give it a couple more episodes. I do love the character designs. Everybody looks amazing. |
| Second anime shown on 24 hours of anime. Oh no, more bears.. Well, it is better than Yuri Kuma at least. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| That was a pretty good first episode. Never played it but seems like an interesting premise. Although the bear is kinda creepy. I'm watching it dubbed. It's Kirito/Eren as the main one lol! I can't wait to see the rest! |

| This looks promising. |
| I should've watched this a long time ago but I only started three years later. Oh well. I like the premise, diverse and distinguishable characters and the ED is awesome. I'm guessing the innocent-looking ones are not so innocent. Also, I'm not sure if Makoto's family was killed or not. There wasn't any blood just torn up furniture. I hope they're okay. |
| 臭い- |
| Big brother - killing version. I don't know why but it reminded me of a game called the ship :D They should all just have fun&sex :) but then none of the girls would want to do it with the fatso and he would be so frustrated and kill someone :/ I don't like this bear ;/ They should make a normal person... |

| (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 ;) |
| Welcome girls and boys to the school!!!! Kekeke Nice begining..7/10 |
| Hmmm... was ok. I played a few hours of the visual novel game which helped affirm that visual novels aren't my thing even though I thought it was a good example of the genre. The anime is following it closely so far. Some of the character designs annoy me, the hair on some of them in particular. Favorite characters so far are Monokuma and Kyouko. Looking forward to some blood, gore and murders. |
| I only played the game, but with Danganronpa V3 so close to release, I decided to watch the anime for the first time. It was a good start, really faithful to the Visual Novel. I love the character design of this series. |
| Kyouko is cute. Dat Asahina booty. Monokuma! Dat explosion. Not kibou, but zetsubou. Dat knockout. Makoto's mom has nice oppai. Of course he has a imouto. Monokuma wants them to zetsubou. Makoto's promise. Good start. Nice Mid/ED song. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Not bad at all, i like the animation and this survival fight setting. But the different abilities do not all seem suitable for killing?! I hope that around the school and the teddy still a lot in the course of the consequences will be cleared up. There are bound to be more rules, I'm curious in which direction the whole thing will develop. |
| It's not a masterpiece, and the basic premise of a locked in killing game is not an original one, but I enjoyed the heck out of this anime the first time around, and totally on board for a re-watch. My favourites of the group are/were Celestia, Sayaka, Aoi and Kyouko. |
| After watching this I got massive chills man. Thought I like the concept of it |
 |
| Not bad for the first episode, but far from a proper adaptation. I cant judge it as an anime only could, I will end comparing it with the VN... The pacing was more rushed than I liked, but honestly it would make everything far more boring if it was a slower pace, what works on the VN would work here, so whatever. I missed Sayaka. Definitly nice to see Junko and some other cast animated, but it is weird the subs call it Monobear and I hear it saying Monokuma. |
 |
| Awesome first episode, the Teddy is just as freaky as I imagined him to be! The text moves a bit too fast for me to read, though - I need to constantly pause the video |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Wow pretty nice first episode Seems promising |
| So it's like an Ousama Game, interesting. Decent start, over all. Concept and premise is fine, to be honest. Decent cast at that, too. Death flags up already but it'll be interesting to see how it'll come about. 15 kids with 13 episodes, now that's not a good sign first up. I've heard this bit is going to be quite rushed in advance though so I can only hope it won't be too bad. I'm guessing only one student will be able to leave alive or something of the sort, kind of like the Ousama Game I reckon. One of the character seemed to be a little experienced or maybe just gutsy feeling whilst saving the punk-y guy, who knows. Got to say, the Teddy Bear really reminded me of five nights at freddy's lol. Looks like this one right here is fond of a little more despair though, how interesting. Will be watching this daily on Muse Asia YT Channel... |

| So everyone are talented here, huh.. Can't guess much from their looks in what exactly.. Well, some of these talents make sense.. But some not that much.. Like why government needs super gambler, for example?.. Yeah, maybe you can assume they might have high IQ or something.. But it's still strange.. Well, that bear talks about wanting despair a lot.. Is he just some petty villain, who suffered himself, and that's why wants to see others suffering?.. Is that it?.. |
| Got your diverse assortment of various anime trope characters trapped in a school to kill to escape. Chefs kiss. |
