The story is great, but to my taste it was too brutal, it became really unwatchable, and I defenetly really don't like this season for Danganronpa.
It's kind of like watching a completely different anime, with the same story almost. Like in Tokyo Ghoul, where there were Tokyo Ghoul:RE and we got completely new characters. The thing that is different here that this is played in the past, so again, it is not really a big deal if you completely just ignore this whole season. We all know what happened in Danganronpa:The Animation (first season) and I also recommend the other Danganronpa 3 to watch, but honestly, it wouldn't even be that big of a deal, not only to skip this season, but to mix the two Danganronpa 3 seasons up, since it's completely different in time.
I didn't like that I didn't see anything of what happened with Naegi, Aoi and the animator guy who I forgot the name of xs.
I didn't like what happened to Hinata, and I didn't like that almost every character died, or got completely crazy, so it's almost the same, as if they would have died. But I guess this is just a sad ending anime, which is completely fine, but for my taste, I would say it's a nono.
There were many brutal scenes, especially in the 2nd part of the season, the first few episodes were pretty chill, there were also many funny moments. The brutality started from I think around episode 6 or 7, but I'm not exactly sure, when the class representatives, or whatever their name is, started to kill each other. I felt really really really uncomfortable, it was really brutal and depressing, which I guess suits a horror anime very well, but again, it is really far away from my personal taste in genres.
I felt like the ending was really rushed, and they tried to explain the whole story and the creators were like... okay there is the ending, end of story. It felt a little weird, and it didn't even feel like an ending. It was just one more episode.
The characters... I liked Chisa, and I'm happy that we actually got to see this side of her, and I loved her class. My favourite was the gamer girl, Nanami, I really cried when she died, it was so horrible.
I still really dislike Murakata and Sakakura for what they have done in the other Danganronpa 3 series, this time around they were just more likeable, and I kind of understood why they acted the way they acted. Sakakura however is just a straight up loser, and he puts his needs first instead of every humans lives, and then acts like the big saviour of the world. He backstabbed not just Murakata, but everyone. But well, later on Murakata backstabbed him too, so it's 50-50 at the end of the day. This makes me so sad because i think Sakakura is an extremely good looking character, to see him get ruined like this is just annoying.
Talking about good looking guy ruined by a shitty character, mister Sonosuke Izayoi, and her idiot girlfriend Ruruka Ando.
Ando is my most hated anime character of all time so far, I am really disgusted by her, and her sugar freak boyfriend. Worst couple I have ever seen. I feel horrible for Kimura and she deserved better.
So overall, this anime is pretty useless to watch, unless you want to know the backstory, and if you are INTO horror and blood and death and psycho stuff. This one was just completely not for me, and i can't wait to watch stupid but entertaining Slice of life animes after this.
Story 5/10
Art 2/10 (why were the background characters all in blue?!)
Characters 3/10
Enjoyment 1/10
Overall 1.5/10 because I can't give a higher point to my personal view, although i have to admit, the story itself is great.
