| Wai, another show where you can't become attached to any character. bleh |
| After playing the game recently, watching the anime feels like a recap as the atmosphere seems to have been attenuated due to the fast pacing. Primarily, the investigation scene bluntly skipped to the key points, cutting the interactions with the characters. Perhaps the show would be better if it did not try to simulate the feel of the game; this anime is merely a sample. I would highly suggest playing the game if you want the full feel of the story and characters. |
| 2 characters dead, 2 seiyuus gone ;_; |
 |
| so far i like this anime, its very interesting. I look forward to interesting twists that will hopefully be thrown in |

| I think Junko needs a spin off series.. |
| alright, who's next ? ps : but that incongruous pinky blood is just silly, I mean, this is a psychological anime, instead of censoring it they altered the blood's color ? what a strange decision |

ranzero said: what a strange decision A decision which made them more noteworthy (than just being another murder mystery game) and people wasn't bothered by this art style direction. The sequel got the same thing and same kind of successful reception |

| And just like that, she's gone for good? What... |
ranzero said: Alter?? OK, it is a psychological anime, but you are dead wrong about the pinky blood is a result of "altering" because the pinky blood is the same as the game!!! There is no censor, no alteration. Strange decision?? More like a decision to stay faithful to the game which is hardly strange. Perhaps you should check around before calling something silly if you do not want to be treated as a troll. ps : but that incongruous pinky blood is just silly, I mean, this is a psychological anime, instead of censoring it they altered the blood's color ? what a strange decision Anyway, this is the image from the game. The recreation of it in the anime is very faithful.  |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Its not even just the deat image, almost every unique image form the game is recreated. its a very faithful adaptation with what translates, its just they should have kept in more dialogue between characters |

| the op's great. this swapping room thing was so suspicious to me. and of course something happened then! unfortunately i already knew she'd die, but at the same time i'm glad she's the first one because now i don't know anything else about the storyline. (i hope it'll stay that way and people won't forget to add spoiler buttons. or maybe i'll just have to stop reading the discussion threads because i'm pretty sure sooner or later i'll find spoilers /sigh) i also already read that the blood will most likely be pink and i have to admit i kind of like it. at least it's the same in the game. and omg, i just realized that sakura is a girl!? i was wondering why "he"'s wearing a skirt and then i checked "his" character page and wow. that's unexpected. i was so sure it's a guy. i guess i'm pretty late with that relaization, haha. welp. BUT YUNKO! don't take my favorites away from me! D: now i just have two left ;___; (but i don't believe she's dead. it was too sudden. or maybe i'm just in denial, ahem.) |
| pink blood looks awesome |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| So the blood finally is pink... ah whatever, class trial coming in ; yes. |
 |
| FInally decided to start watching it and I like it. Maybe I'll get the game once it comes out in English. Anyways, the culprit is obvious and left two red herrings. Well, seeing as this is the introductory case, it makes sense why the case is this easy. I expect that the cases will get harder as the anime goes on. |

| I'm very pleased with those who died. I did not like them at all. *applauds* |
 |
| lol |
| Well personally I'm not too into the pink blood thing. For some it might be trivial, but I want to see real blood in a murder. As for staying true to that game that's fine and it makes plenty more sense for them to do it that way. I'm probably going to stick with this to the end, but so far I'm not too happy with it. |

| So do they come back alive later? I notice some of the people that played the game liked Junko, but she died like that, lol. |

No characters are actually dead for good, Junko was in a prequel book and like alot of the dead characters in this game they end up playing more of a role dead than they do alive sometimes, Add a tiny bit of over rated and thats where her popularity comes form If you saw a character die they are actually dead |

Otakugirl3 said: OK imo there are a lot of loopholes and explanation needed... so if an innocent person is accused does that mean that everyone is killed except for the murderer and the innocent person? And will they both be set free? (should've asked monobear that question) and when it comes down to two people what will happen? A deathmatch? And if the main character was smart enough to realize he was being framed he wouldn't try as hard to prove his innocence, because if they accuse him they all die and he gets freed(maybe?) For a better understanding of the Class Trial, the information within the spoiler below will tell us exactly how finding the culprit works. You can blame either the anime for not having an easier way of explaining it, or... well, yourself. The majority vote part is very subtle. I don't blame anyone for misreading it. The only part I added in that wasn't explained was the tallied votes section. |

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Danganronpa is #2deep4them No honestly, I don't get it either. The anime did a fine job at explaining it. The subs were clear and the fucking illustrations too.. just.. I don't get it either, sorry. |

If they don't get it, it's their own fault for being unable to comprehend something as well explained as that. The anime did a really good job of explaining how the Class Trial works, it's their own stupidity preventing them from understanding it if they don't. |

The anime did a really good job of explaining how the Class Trial works, it's their own stupidity preventing them from understanding it if they don't. I'm curious. Why is it that we were able to figure out how the Class Trials worked, and they didn't? Let's take stupidity out of the factor, because the last thing I want to do is scare away potential fans. Frankly, I think we are being too rash about it. I think I can understand how maybe one could possibility think that way? Maybe it's possible from the choices of words used is what's confusing people. I'll quote word-for-word from UTW's fan subtitles: "In these trials, you'll have a chance to debate who the murder(er) is." "If you correctly identify the culprit, he'll be punished for disturbing the law and order of this place." "However, if you get it wrong, all of the innocent students will be punished instead." ... "all" Edit: 2nd Edit: Yeah, I'm working hard to be devil's advocate. Le sigh. |

In all fairness, stupidity was probably not the best word I could have used to sum it up, but still, it's surprising to see how many people haven't actually gotten it. |
masserati94 said: In all fairness, stupidity was probably not the best word I could have used to sum it up, but still, it's surprising to see how many people haven't actually gotten it. You are right, even I was being rash. But you know? I got even more upset while I was editing and explaining this and that after typing "Stupidity out of the factor" down. What I'm saying is, I would have said much worse now after all that editing. |
MrOCDJul 16, 2013 9:23 AM
| Honestly, I very strongly believe I know who did the crime, but I will not say my prediction, since if it is correct(which I believe 97.89%), then it will be a spoiler. On another note, I am getting sick of waiting for the next episode, I don't know why, but I'm hooked to this anime. |

| This is being quite faithful so fair, but imo the pace is far too fast. There's barely any time to process what's going on before something else is being thrown at you. Curious about what anime-only viewers' opinions will end up being versus those who've completed the game. They're really hammering you on the head with hints, too. Notsomuch evidence hints (which are actually pretty much non-existent, apart from But hell, I'm just happy to see these guys animated, and so true to their game selves at that. Loving Togami in particular, looking forward to seeing his future lack of fuck-giving. ("Well, at the very least this means Enoshima isn't the culprit." Gotta love his eternal practicality) Curious that they left the blood pink. After all, those rating-restrictions (the reason the blood is pink in the game) don't apply to anime, do they? Well, it's part of its charm, I guess. Looking forward to the trial, that'll be the make-or-break moment for the anime. |

Seeing this thread, http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=630713 I think the non-gamers have all the time in the world to process things. Processing the anime isn't done while it's still airing, it's also done after it airs. With streaming and downloading episodes there's no reason to not re-watch it for the sake of processing. It's not like "Oops, the episode is over, must stop thinking about that episode now or my brain will explode." See this is why I watch animes weekly, there's this waiting time before the next episodes air, which is pretty enough time for thought processing. Once again, blood pink is now the staple even if the fact it was to avoid adult ratings. It's now one of the things that makes dangan ronpa, DANGAN RONPA. |

Seems I underestimated what you could deduce strictly from the anime, there's certainly no lack of theories floating around. Fun to see. |
| Loved the new Episode, the OST was brilliant, I'm not surprised though, thought it would be ever since the start, can't wait for more! :D |
| I don't know what's going in this thread but I am digging this show. |

dannyk93 said: I think having the numbers spelling out Leon is too obvious??? ; If you think that way, it's because it's just chapter 1 in the game, it's still the "tutorial level". Though there will be something more deep about Sayaka writing 11037 |

Joking , I know what's happening . We are at theater now where those who know act like they dont and those who really dont know are making laughable assumptions. If I'd give the acting a mark would be 5/10 . |

| My expectations are quite high for this anime. I never played the game, even if I wanted to. I don't have a PSP :( But yeah, survival genres are quite generic, but I really like the Phoenix Wright feel to it. Can't wait for the third episode! |

That's as easy as its gonna get. /person who read the lets play of the video game |
| It is getting good, but really the blood could be red, not pink! |
 |
| dangit why didn't the ugly brown bitch with the turd hair die instead |
 ^ Why isn't this updating... |
| Why the cute girls have to die first? And I'm kinda surprise of how stupid the crowd seems to be. Really guys, there's a murder that have been occured in a room, and you suspect the room's owner? Yeah sure, if you did a crime and it is specified not to be discovered as the murderer, you'll kill your target in you own room and let her body there, of course. I'm curious to see how they'll find out who did this. |
