| So I finished this series a few days ago and I'm wondering whether I'm the only one that feels this way. To begin with, I really liked the first season's constant suspense and game-centric approach. Each episode has featured a different murder and suspect, which has kept the anime interesting. However, I found the following seasons were not as good as the first. This is explained as follows: -The outside world The outside world was totally uninteresting. I understand that the author or whoever created the source meant to expand the lore, but they obviously missed the mark. -Character of Junko Enoshima This character makes no sense at all. She is evil for the purpose of being evil, and her motivations are simply stupid. Constant rambling of despair nonsense. Along with Nana from Talentless Nana, she has to be one of the most irritating anime characters of all time. Her conquering the entire world was also an asspull. It's not even believable at all. So, in my opinion, Danganronpa should have only stayed for the first season and the following seasons were unneeded, Junko Enoshima should have only appeared in the first season if the author still wanted to make the next seasons. P.S This text is merely about the anime, not the game. Maybe the game has greater storytelling, but I'm talking about the anime series here, so please reply with that in mind. |

And nothing beats the feeling of investigating the murders and trying to solve the mystery yourself.Usapz said: Thanks for the info. I'm going to like games better if they focus more on trials.

| Danganronpa works as a franchise so it’s impossible to reply and ignore the games. I’ll try make this in order of your points. I don’t share your sentiment of liking the 1st season. I hadn’t seen the games when I watched but I still thought that it felt like a rushed mess and it was lacking. About the outside world, they’re not expanding the lore of the outside world they’re just explaining the events mentioned in the game. I don’t really know what to tell you about Junko tho. They already explained how Talents work the characters are bound to them. It makes their characters and motivations as boring as they may seem. Yes, Junko is despair and wants despairs because it’s her talent. It’s like Sayaka being an Ultimate Idol her character will revolve around that. Mondo being the Ultimate Biker involves a chapter around that. Personally, I don’t really mind her motivations in that way because her characterization and her involvement makes it way more interesting. Thinking about it Junko literally is the reason why Danganronpa exists her influence even goes to V3. She doesn’t need to be alive for her to have influence. |
