Lol, I love how it spoils the premise of the 2nd game. Sucks for people who wanted to play it.

Anyways, ITS BAAAAAAACK!! I fucking love Danganronpa <3 So glad to see Kirigiri again. Knew Yukizome was going to die. Deathflag was all over her character.
I really really hope nothing happens to Kyouko though. First game's bad ending was enough for me.

No pink blood though :( That fucking sucks. It's a staple of the show man. Don't remove things like that.

Dang, I'm glad they gave that explanation in the beginning, was hoping they would because I have no idea what happened in the second game, I watched the anime for the first part though. I was seriously wondering how the heck they were going to get into the whole investigation thing, for the most part, I didn't know where any of this was going up until the black girl found the security guards. And I knew the teacher girl was gonna be the one to die first, it was way too obvious.

We're off to an interesting start and I look forward to seeing how this will play out.

Edit: Just found out that Dangonronpa 2 is on Steam, so I'm gonna buy and play through that before I get really into this anime.

Yukizome saying she knew remnant despair kids is super suspicious in itself like i'm sure we will see her again.



Probably in the despair arc? If she gets screentime there then it would make sense that she got killed so early.


i'm actually still confused about what the despair arc will be like. is it the whole sdr2 game storyline?? or is the story while they were students in hope's peak academy?

if it is while they were students, (which i would probably freak out about cuz i've been wanting to see that) then like you said, it makes sense for being the first target since she knew the remnants of despair closely but then again....she said she was a teacher yet before she graduate she was shsl housekeeper???// did someone other than naegi know she was a teacher?

another thing, how do we know she wasn't a mole trying to bring down the future foundation while still supporting the remnants of despair. it is obvious that someone, whether future side or despair side, is not happy that naegi protected those students and impeded despair to continue on. IDK.

can i bring something up that has been killing me since yesterday, can anyone refresh my mind on who this old man with the glasses is in this picture????

When I was watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica, it was all fine and dandy until episode 3 happened and I died on the inside.

When I was watching Akame ga Kill, it was all fine and dandy until episode 6 happened and I died on the inside (along with my waifu).

This show is only one episode in, and it's already making me feel things it took other shows a few episodes to make me feel. Plaudite, acta est fabula!
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA!

Oh boy i spent the last week Catching up on DR2 still salty for the last like 3 years i've avoided spoilers up until the summer line up which i was somewhat spoiled by the cover art of all things thankfully looking at it now it didn't affect much.


Intro made me so pumped was nice going in with everything from 2 still fresh in my head not that i could make sense of it all, i'm just gonna assume for now this is going for the real ending while the other show (crazy double Dangaronpa only days apart) sequel prequel?

As always, whether anime or game, Danganronpa never fails to entertain!

My one hope is that they don't kill of Kirigiri. I don't think they will though seeing as the anime was described as being a treat to the fans.

So the Future Foundation decides to round up all the leaders onto an island fully aware that one of them could be a traitor working with the Despairs, AND THEN has them all meet in the same room when there were so many other ways to discuss Naegi's fate. One of the members even mentions how if the Despairs found them this place would be easy pickings, but I guess survivors of the most "tragic, horrific event" in human history just don't know what is best for their survival. I mean, they bring Naegi and co. into the fray when they believe him to be a traitor (which puts Aoi and the others as suspicious), which could have easily led the remnants of Despair to their location.

So now the remnants of Despair will play yet another killing game even though they have all the main members of the Future Foundation in the palm of their hands (except Byakuya(?)). Seriously, just kill them and win. Keep your enemy alive long enough and they may just come back to haunt you.

Oh well. I'll just sit back and enjoy what Danganronpa has to offer, which is a decent murder/mystery game.


what you say are valid and very logical questions, however I think you missed one point. I will use the movie dark knight as an example: the joker objective is to create chaos, but why does he bother with making psycological games and torture or forcing people to explode themselves? Because that's is his objective to make every meaning, like hope, justice and morals, meaningless. In a deep analysis this is his motto, a representation of a bigger force that defines and pushes the joker to do this things. The same could be said to Monokuma, but switch chaos and meaningless with despair. That's why he isn't concern with just killing them


Which... is stupid. Though I suppose that sort of logic is to be expected from something as over-the-top as Danganronpa. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy watching this continuation, but still. Sometimes one just can't help but question a villain's actions.

When all of your enemies are gathered together in one spot, unable to retaliate like that... the smart thing to do is to eliminate them immediately. But perhaps this new Monokuma is just as insane as Junko was.

We shall see.

The opening...might probably be infested with spoilers. The fact that someone /cough already died in the first episode...and the fact that the position she died in resembles how she is positioned in the opening. Of course, not EVERYONE is going to die (actually...this is Danganronpa...literally there is no impossible), but I wouldn't be surprised if the deaths actually resembled the opening. The ones that do die.

There can be metaphorical deaths too. Like deaths to rose-colored ideologies that can be tainted by despair and thus, metaphorically, dying.
Which is one possible interpretation I came up with for Naegi + Munakata in the op. It's like the foundation that they both put all their hope in is being destroyed and ripped into shreds before their eyes. Both of them have different...visions of how this hope should be carried out, and I imagine watching this is destroying their mind...either metaphorically or physically. I of course might as well have pulled that out my ass, though so just going to leave it there.
--
Anywayyys, my thoughts on the episode:
This was an EXCELLENT episode. I'm very well impressed, and I love how Danganronpa never fails to satisfy me. There were so many moments during the episode that I felt seeds of mysteries being planted, and I'm so excited to see how the characters will interact and watch the mysteries unravel. Well, it's rather morbid to be excited to see how the characters will "interact", as they will be killing one another, but honestly one of the most entertaining, fascinating aspects about Danganronpa are the characters they create. I love the portrait each character portrays rather than only showing the surface level stereotype they carry, and the stories behind the characters.

Speaking of which, I do have people I'm already suspicious of in the future foundation of being a traitor, however not enough evidence. Purely suspicions. I do see some people being red herrings, though, and I am even suspicious of the person that died this episode. Why is it that the count of people they showed in the beginning did not go down when she died...are they saving it for the next episode. Do we have reason to believe she's actually dead??

As for the actual content of the episode...it is rather interesting to understand the timing of this event. I actually have questions concerning this (if anyone would care to answer). Does this happen near Danganronpa Another episode? Would that explain why Togami isn't there? Also, I'm not sure if this was explained necessarily, but...we know that Naegi is being interrogated for helping the Remnants of Despair, but if this takes place after Danganronpa 2...



On another note, time to start memorizing a bunch of names again. Legit calling people the most vague nicknames. Persona dude, gas mask woman, childhood friend duo, goat/ox man? Yupp time to do a little studying.

Don t worry @Adeptation I don t think Kirigiri and Naegi will die they been in this series far more longer and the most develop character In the entire series. I mean how many time have they appear In danganronpa? Danganronpa 1,Danganronpa 2 and Danganronpa 3. PLus we have backstories about them too they also appear Danganronpa zero

Far too develop and Important to be rid of

i believe that yukizone is the mastermind
1-she died like too dumb like enoshima in D1 to cover any point related to her and became monokuma
2-toooooooooooo much nice and cute too much that already is a fact
3-a teacher that survives the massacre in hopes peak i mean if you know D0 you also know why teachers of hopes peak academy cant survive unless that happen by chance to make the alibi and became a spy in their own ground
4-naegi ask is she whas a doctor and she says she is only a teacher again if you jnow D0 teachers in hopes peak academy arent only for teaching, also the sleeping bombs are in the same roon close to her, and also the way she falls too much dramatic

so what danganronpa gamers think?

I agree. I have to say, this time, not having any direct source material to base the anime off of (i.e. a game), really adds to the edge for this season. I think it's a pretty smart move that keeps the fans on the edge of their seats!

Whoa, okay. Great start by showing the Remnants of Despair and introducing everybody. Really glad those 'leaks' about the first victim weren't true, although it would have been threatening to show the DR1 survivors aren't safe by killing Aoi it still kinda devalues everything that happened in DR1. I love the OP and the ED is pretty good. Wonder if Makoto and Kyoko with each half of Monokuma's head is meant to symbolise Makoto replacing the 'hope' side and Kyoko replacing 'despair' (which is worrying for her, hope she isn't the mastermind), or Makoto 'completing' the despair side and vice versa. Somebody said Junko might have found a way to get into them after they left the Neo World Program, which sounds possible actually.

I have to say though, this is a pretty clever way of avoiding 'first victim syndrome' by making Yukizome the SDR2 kids' teacher. So she'll get screentime in Zetsubou-hen where we can learn more about her character, which is pretty awesome. Means she won't need to be important later on in Mirai-hen, though if they manage to build up that she becomes evil in Zetsubou-hen before she returns in Mirai-hen as the evil mastermind I will be really impressed. Then again, I don't really like the idea of Chisa being the mastermind as it feels like they'd be treading old ground making a dead person the mastermind. Really interested to see how Kodaka takes advantage of the anime format over the games.

my reason for discussing the quality of the show was because this is a discussion thread about the show i just watched. i don't need anymore reason then that. but i'm beating a dead horse at this point, and i can some of these fans can't handle some one disliking their show, i don't gain anything from hurting peoples feelings so i'll sum up my thoughts here then leave ya'll to enjoy your show.

-poorly paced - nothing remotely interesting happened in the 1st 10 minutes
-poorly written exposition - terrible way to get information across is to explain it directly to the audience, show don't tell
-no emotional resonance - no idea who i was suppose to empathize for here
-choppy animation - i thought my computer was fucking up until i noticed it was just the anime


First 10 minutes was interesting for people who played DR2, it showed characters in a way that we have not have seen them before. The fact that these Future Foundation members had been out there on the frontline fighting against Junko's followers for a long period of time helps substantiate the views they presented later on in the episode too.

I kinda agree with you on how exposition-heavy it was, somewhat. At the same time they pretty clearly did a lot of set-up and established a lot of things that the story had yet to go into, I didn't think it was especially terrible or anything but rather that it could've been paced a little better, "exposition-wise" all they really did was set the scene and introduce the cast.

Don't really get this "no emotional resonance" point, you had three clearly defined sides (the for & against Makoto sides + a neutral side with Tengan) with some different character archtypes within each + the victim of this episode was characterized enough. To people who played DR2 her line about "creating even greater Hope" (remind you of anyone?) + her stating that she was the teacher for the DR2 cast should be ringing some alarm bells in the minds of the viewers too.

Not your fault for not knowing this - but Funimation mangled the framerate when they aired it somehow. The animation isn't choppy in the Raws, I don't really understand what the heck Funi did here to do this.

I don't think that it was some 10/10 masterpiece, but it was a pretty good first episode I feel - and given that the target audience are the people who have played DR1&2, I feel they did a great job covering the sort of thing that would appeal to these people specifically. Had parallels and fanservice to previous games + plenty of new information + clues hidden everywhere and the majority of the cast seems more and more shady the more you sit and consider the info the episode presented after having watched it.

The red blood is going to bother me so much. I'm so used to the pink coloured blood it just bothers me too much. I am wondering about how how the anime will turn out without trials. I didn't expect Yukizome to be killed off that early though. She was too nice, so of course I suspected her to die one way or another but I didn't expect her to be the very first death. Although the way she died, god damn. Danganronpa knows how to do good deaths.

As far as I know the despair arc will cover the two years they were students and the moments that made them fall into despair. So yeah you'll freak out. :D

Only thing that worries me about that is that it's only twelve episodes covering two years.

Grown-up Kirigiri is so freaking hot omg <33333
Wow, Danganronpa sure has no chill. First ep and we already got a body.
And of course it had to be my favorite new character who dies first ;-;
Though I'm fine with the red blood, I wish they had used the pink blood. It makes Danganronpa more unique, imo.

Yeah, I don't think that they'll do what they did with Mukuro again (or at least, I pray they won't). You know. The whole, 'first person to die is connected to the mastermind' schtick. If anything I think the importance of Yukizome's death will just be to screw with Munakata's emotions (make him more ruthless, or hate Naegi more 'cause he's suspicious), and maybe she'll get some flashback scenes in future episodes, being the teacher of the DR2 characters and all.

And damn, wiki said 12 episodes? Just that thought alone is enough to bring me despair. Only anime I can think of that didn't disappoint with a short runtime were the ones that weren't plot-heavy like One Punch Man, or had non-linear storytelling like Shouwa Rakugo, Baccano!! etc.
Ah well. Let's just hope they know what they're doing. And replay that sick OP.

Not sure what you meant by

" the fact that entire organization was taken down in a few mins, with heavy forshadowing"

The FF wasn't taken down, the traitor just used the secret meeting they were having to trap the leaders


they could've been killed the same way if not for the plot convenience


There are some pretty heavy hitters there, I doubt they'd go down easily if it was an straight attack instead of being placed in a killing game situation

Beides, this is Monokuma, what despair he would harvest if they just straight up died?

Erebus25 said:


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


The anime is a continuation for the second game so you are clearly missing things you are already supposed to know here

What happened outside of Hope's Peak was already explained in the second game

I'm not bothered by the fights, when you have things like ultimate swordswoman, ultimate boxer, and ultimate wrestler, fighting is kinda the obvious outcome

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.


Byakuya be calling all of them plebs.

Well, it's definitely none of the DR2 Remnants of Despair, because they're all in comatose XD. Or they awoke due to 'deux ex machina' and somehow sneaked out during the sleeping gas.

I notice something strange in the first episode of DR3 Future, when chisa dead body is discovered the pollution noise sound not appears, also Chisa mention that she was teacher of 77th class, right?.
Then if Nanami was classmate with the 77th class kids in the real life and inside of the NWP, then we could be said that monomi "the self-proclaimed teacher of 77th class in the NWP" actually is Yukizome Chisa?
what do you think?

PS; Maybe tomorrow is revelated that Chisa was teacher of class 77th.

Maybe she was unable to save the kids of despair and for this reason she feel culprit and start to listen only it that munakata says, and this can explain why monomi appear during the ending of DR2 game.

Right now, I'm suspecting three four people to be the mastermind under these conditions:
> Someone that's already in the meeting room at the very beginning (meaning the original cast from D1 are not suspects)
> A female (since the bodies of the dead security guards are found in the female toilet room)

Therefore, the three four people i'm suspicious of are:
- Andou Ruruka
- Gekkougahara Miaya (also the one who threw the knife(?) to Aoi, who found the bodies, so idk)
- Kimura Seiko (lol forgot this person was a female)
- Yukizome Chisa (already dead but could suddenly go Junko with us so yeah still not removing her here)

ofc this is just a stupid theory of mine. Anything could still happen. I haven't played the game so yeah. Looking forward to the next episodes tho :3

The events of sideFUTURE is definitely taking place shortly after the events of DR2.


Alright, thank you so much for clarifying.. I was getting confused about the order, but now everything makes a lot more sense. This means that the beginning showed the Remnants of Despair before their capture. The biggest reason I even thought of the timing was because I think it might play a central role in getting clues on who Monokuma is. Which is usually like one of the biggest reveals in the first two games at least, haha. As for now, there are only suspicions, though ofc.

No.
You must watch the first season "Danganronpa" or play it. (PSVita/Steam)
You must play Danganronpa 2 (PSVita/Steam).
Also is very recommended play Danganronpa Another Episode.

I have some sort of feeling that maybe even Munakata is the traitor.

Tengan says at the start that the building is under Munakata's control AND that he built it. Also you have to wonder, what was Munakata doing while everyone was in the meeting room? We're going to have to assume that the security guards were killed before the attack. Naegi, Kirigiri, Hagakure and Asahina were outside at the time when they were all in the meeting room, Ryota hadn't arrived yet. So what was Munakata doing? Also Chisa looked like she was heavily crying, could that mean it was someone very close to her? A.K.A Munakata?

Nope. The prequel and both games are really necessary if you want to understand Danganronpa 3 since it takes place after those two games.

Yeah, I don't think that they'll do what they did with Mukuro again (or at least, I pray they won't). You know. The whole, 'first person to die is connected to the mastermind' schtick. If anything I think the importance of Yukizome's death will just be to screw with Munakata's emotions (make him more ruthless, or hate Naegi more 'cause he's suspicious), and maybe she'll get some flashback scenes in future episodes, being the teacher of the DR2 characters and all.

And damn, wiki said 12 episodes? Just that thought alone is enough to bring me despair. Only anime I can think of that didn't disappoint with a short runtime were the ones that weren't plot-heavy like One Punch Man, or had non-linear storytelling like Shouwa Rakugo, Baccano!! etc.
Ah well. Let's just hope they know what they're doing. And replay that sick OP.

Yeah I don't think they'll pull one of those Junko's since they've already done it and that'd just be too predictable. Her death was to me just the emotional one that's suppose to hit everyone later on. I also think it's to mess with how Munakata felt since it seemed like he was going to confess to her one point in the episode. And if she was the teacher of the 77th class the emotions could screw around with that too.

It's possible that Munakata is the traitor. I don't know why he'd kill off Yukizome though if he is, but maybe he just killed her off to not make him look suspicious as he seemed to cared for her so he obviously wouldn't do it. I don't know if Chisa crying could directly mean that someone close to her was the traitor though. It could just means she was heavily scared.

Naegi has suffered too much. Look at the pain in his eyes

He dont suffered enough, he just got imprisioned and mentally tortured seiing his friends killing each other while he doesnt know what happened to his family.

He must suffer even more, all of the characters must suffer even more, for the sake of despair.

I notice something strange in the first episode of DR3 Future, when chisa dead body is discovered the pollution noise sound not appears, also Chisa mention that she was teacher of 77th class, right?.
Then if Nanami was classmate with the 77th class kids in the real life and inside of the NWP, then we could be said that monomi "the self-proclaimed teacher of 77th class in the NWP" actually is Yukizome Chisa?


I think this a very interesting theory, while I may not fully agree with it. I think that hypothesizing that Chisa has a larger role than just being a part of the future foundation and a housekeeper...or even just being the Remnants of Despairs' teacher is correct.

However, if Chisa was in fact Monomi as you described, then wouldn't Naegi have already known that she was their teacher and assigned her to play the role as 'Monomi' when he entered the Remnants of Despair into the game? She seemed to be questioning why he did what he did...questions you don't really ask of someone who worked with you on the project..if that makes sense?

So basically--Chisa had to have worked with Naegi if she was Monomi, yet Naegi had no clue she was their teacher, and yet she questions his objectives in the first episode. I think all that doesn't really piece together to lead her as being Monomi, however, again, I don't think you're wrong in thinking she is a lot more than what she seems to be.

I would actually argue that perhaps in order to watch this anime, the bare minimum should be to watch the first season of Danganronpa (although, I would highly recommend watching or playing the game... cause it's a lot better and anime doesn't do it justice). I think one of the reasons that there are two 'parts' airing at the same time (Zetsubo-hen and Mirai-hen) is to sort of compensate for the lack of knowledge every viewer has about the Remnants of Despair cast.

Sure, if you played Danganronpa 2, you know the 'after' picture and it's going to give you a lot fuller picture, however I picture that in the Zetsubo-hen they will be introducing the characters once again. In the second game, they touched on all the event that happened in the past but it was all 'talk' and in the case of the twilight syndrome, through 'game'. I think that in the Zetsubo-hen they'll ACTUALLY be showing such events and both parts will go hand-in-hand, and I think that while Danganronpa Another Episode will MOST LIKELY have a role in all this, it's not required.

The main confusion a person who has no knowledge of Danganronpa 2 would go through is why Naegi is being interrogated. They know 'of' these 'remnants of despair' yet more information will be revealed about them in the second part, if you understand what I'm saying. But, as always, for the best enjoyment watching/playing all of them would be ideal. I do understand how it can seem like an overwhelming amount of hours, though, dedicated to catching up. But I can guarantee that it's worth it, but that's because I'm biased and love the series.

5/5.
Actually, NO. Monokuma's voice actor has changed, 1/5.
Actually, Rie Kugimiya as Bandai, 5/5.

Yes, but we don't know what happened to them or what they're doing. They did say that the shock of dying in the game can cause actual death, but we don't know for sure.
Mabye Hinata and the other survivors managed to save them or something idk.

Well this is the end of the Hopes Peak story. I trust Kodaka in that matter that in this final chapter every important character/cast will sooner or later show up in the Anime and fulfill/play his part for the plot.
I doubt he will exile Togami, Fukawa & Komaru from this Anime. Same for the DanganRonpa2 cast. In some form they will show up. Maybe as Monomi? Who knows.
Same for the despair side with: Monoca and the possible last Junko AI from DR1 most likely the one we saw in EP1.
