The bad:
- The animation? Not a fan. I mean some might like the 3D-ish elements, but for me it was just painful to watch. In addition to the execution segments the 3D stuff just felt out of place and completely unnecessary. To be honest I didn't like the art style either.
- A word about music. I usually find most anime OPs quite amusing or interesting even if they don't suit my musical preference. This OP (and ending tbh) were pretty bad. Nothing worth noticing about either of the tracks. Just filler music to spend 1.5 minutes of air time that COULD be spent on char. development.
- The way the trials were set up didn't really work for me either. The whole verbal bullets thing seemed childish and although I'll admit that it was interesting to listen to the thought process at times overall it was quite boring.
=== ENDING SPOILERS IN THE NEXT BULLETPOINT ===
- The characters are totally undercooked. People have said this time and again and I will agree with them. The story either doesn't fit the format of a show when comparing to a game or just needed more time, because we never shown what some of the characters actually do or are good at. Some of them just appear and disappear 2-3 episodes after that without any character development what-so-ever.
=== END OF SPOILER ===
The ... good?:
- I'm a sucker for a good mystery so this kind of thing had me caught up in the story despite the show itself being bad.
To be honest there probably are tons of shows worth watching instead of Danganronpa so... just do that, I guess.
