You pretty much said it yourself, there's no need for the production team to "tell" you guys, you just need to see it for yourself.

Which honestly gives the anime the potential to be better than the game, at least for the trials, i think this will tell the plot excellently but it will neglect the character's aside from the group that survives really late. Like it'd of been nice if they can just slip in some abridged versions of free time events into the dialogue

This reminds me a lot of dead man wonderland. I didn't trust the first girl that died maybe she's not actually dead. cant wait for the next episode when the trial takes place.

Well, that felt rushed.

Wtf, didn't expect the idol to die immediately. >_> Also model girl..

Errr.... Pink blood? What the fuck? Is this murder mystery series trying to be cute with pink blood?!! ._.

Well, I seriously have no idea who killed Sayaka. I'm thinking the glasses guy did it but that would be too predictable.

Anyways, Kyoko best girl.

finally could watch it subbed.
so this episode was definitely better than the first one, since it didn't feel so rushed. kind of sad the investigation went so fast but if the trials are longer instead i don't mind.
and they kept the blood pink, hell yea.

This has literally been said over and over again.

The pink blood gives the entire game a more surreal feeling. It's original intention was so that it wouldnt be rated as an adult only game, but it also gives off the whole exaggerated feel that Danganronpa is most known for.

You have the choice between them actually fucking showing the blood, or it being stupidly blacked out.

Why Naegi is so idiot? If everyone thinks that he is the killer, why he's scared? If everyone decides that he's the killer they'll die because they're wrong, unless he's the killer.


if they vote for naegi and he's innocent everyone (including naegi) will be executed besides the real culprit.

there is no uncensord. This is it, the blood is purposely pink, it was originally changed because the game would of got the equivilent to the adults only ranking, but then it became a staple of the series and matched its sureal feel.

See guys, this is why this adaptations may end up being better in the trial department, the first murderer was the easiest thing to figure out in the game, not here. Now i cant wait to see speculation for trials that were actually unpredictable like 2's or 5's

Those red walls reminded me of Shinning. Naegi should let the others keep suspecting he is the criminal. Then he will survive cuz they are wrong.

I liked how the creator handled gore: the blood was not red but shocking pink, which was less gross/disgusting yet retained shockingness with a surrealistic vibe successfully.

He won't survive. It's the true culprit who'll survive while Naegi and the others will die.

again wrong. if you payed attention to what Monobear said, if someone who is not the culprit is pointed out the culprit, then everyone INCLUDING HIM gets executed EXCEPT FOR THE ACTUAL CULPRIT!

oh yeah, pink blood will never go away, im glad they didnt change that :3

Nice episode didnt expect the death of the second girl, and after Maizono reaction last episode I was kind of expecting her to be either the first one to kill someone or go full yandere/betrayer/manipulative bitch on one of the last episodes....

I havent read the LP or played the game but I felt kind of rushed the whole investigation part. Its true that talking about random objects for half an episode wouldnt have been better but still I was hoping more inner thoughts, opinions or explanations about those clues they found, I hope that they are explained during the trail next episode.

I already thought Maizono was going be the first victim or the first murder so that wasn't a big shock

Junko's sudden death was pretty shocking though I figured she was going to die eventually but not this early

as for who the murder is my only guess is Hagakure(shaman guy with crazy hair) just because of the broken crystal ball other than that i don't have a clue.

everyone keeps saying that 11037 gives it away, but I don't know what that could be referring to besides a room number guess I should rewatch it

Too bad here we dont have the "red truth" to confirm the deaths but that rich guy said that they confirmed the death of Maizono but who knows perhaps later during the story the answer would be that the victim is just playing dead. I wonder if thats the case and there is no culprit and they declare guilty someone else then everyone else is executed but the victim?

I don't see why people are complaining about pink blood. It's not even really 'censored', considering that this show has a late night time slot. They kept it in to be truthful to the game. And the blood being pink instead of red is literally the only violence that is censored.

that girl is dead, thing is though, DR doesnt let characters reach end once they die, almost every single character that dies in this story gratly effects a later event, and a few cases characters get more spotlight after they die. But thats all i can say without spoilng

also to the dipshit thats about to reply to this and say in full detail about exactly which soon to be dead characters im talking about inevitably ruining the fun for non lp readers. DONT

THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME!!
Haven't had the previlige of playing the VN, so i'm clueless as to whom it was.
I've only got a few guesses, but i'm guessing its someone who thought Naegi was an 'easy' kill? And Looking at all those slashes, someone who can't weild a sword, or just crazy (BIG inlking its that girl with glasses, but i shouldn't jump to far XP)
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!! >___<

What I like about this is that they present the evidence, then the trial comes in the next episode. It gives the viewer a chance to figure out the culprit, just like in the game.

So, show off dem detective skills! The evidences are shown to you, you just need to connect the fragments of Chaos. :)

One little tip : Examine everything closely...

Also, what just sucks is that they just showed the evidence. No details. If any one wants some details on the evidences shown, just say it. :)


Some details would be nice if they are needed to solve the case :)

they adapted the death scenes of maizono and junko in this episode really well.
However, the investigation portion was extremely short.
I feel like the audience won't get a good enough idea of the case if the evidence isn't presented correctly.
Nonetheless... I'm excited how they'll portray the trials next week!

It's better you don't do either. Like I said, some people don't understand the significance of some pieces of evidence, and some have no idea who the culprit is. Leave it up to them to figure it out, or to wait until the trial.

They didn't do it just for the sake of censorship. It's one of the trademarks of dangan ronpa, and everyone loved it in the original game, since it fits the psycho pop style of the game really well.

I was thinking that she commit suicide, considering that only MC and maizono knew how to open the bathroom door, but the whole disc-video's "oh she has nowhere left to go" thing would make it way too cliche if she actually did commit suicide, so i'll just have to wait to see.
