Nevereal
The concluding part of Danganronpa story turns out to be an utter garbage that surprisingly manages to butcher the original series' spirit by presenting criminally uninteresting setting, boring and flat characters, downright ridiculous storyline with ton of plotholes, and loads of stupid out-of-place fanservice on top of that.
A scene where newly-added "your ordinary schoolgirl" character casually fights hundreds of mechanical Monocumas with laser-shooting megaphone (showing off her panties in the process) describes this anime as none better.
Story — as said above, horrible. The only reason the plot is not predictable is that it is illogical as hell. 1/10
Art — the visual style lost some of the first season's charm, but at least it still provides dark atmosphere and is ok to look at. Ah,…

It's hard to objectively look at the series you invested hours and hours into.
This anime will not be for everyone. Even if you decide to play through all the visual novels and a spin-off game (which is rather crucial to the story as well), there is a chance you'll find it "unnecessary", "poor" or just horrible and not deserving to be part of the series. I got a lot more out of the anime than I was originally expected, being told by everyone, how bad this show is. If you played through all the games, I dont see a reason why you wouldn't atleast try this. I will keep this review as spoiler-free as I can.
I'll start with praising the Opening, as it really deserved it. Visuals are beautiful, it doesn't shove any important plot points into your face, and, of course, the song itself is amazi…

YOU NEED TO WATCH THE ORIGINAL DANGANRONPA TO UNDERSTAND THIS
This anime was a pitiful way to continue the original Danganronpa series.
When I hear future arc I think ADVANCEMENT not stating in place.
They tried to recreate the original series in the future which was pointless. I felt that they lack the creativity to add something different to the series. I felt that I was rewatching the first original Danganronpa over again. There was a little advancement to the overall story which only happened at the very end.
It did not add any depth to the original plot of the story and left viewers confused about its overall purpose. This series did not further any character development.
Overall I did not enjoy the future arc. It lacks so many qualities that a continuation to a series needs. T…

Note: This review contains LOTS of spoilers. It may also be noteworthy that this is the only anime I've ever seen, and it was mostly ruined for me by spoilers anyway, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
That said, this anime annoyed me enough to force me to create a MAL account for the sole purpose of letting me get off my chest why I found this thoroughly unenjoyable. I originally picked up watching this anime as a fan of the games. I greatly enjoyed the tense story and engaging mystery of the original games, and wanted to finally see the conclusion of the story. So, I watched fair-use-loopholed episodes on YouTube. However, I found it completely unentertaining. The only reason I watched it to completion was to finally bring the series I once enjoyed to a close. I honestly entered i…

the story so far has been more enjoyable and less childish than the first season and i must say, the art and the music have improved as well. The plot is pretty likable and as always, no one is safe from dying in Danganronpa. i have just watched episode 9, and i think all of this will change in the last 3 episodes*NO spoilers ahead*: if Kodaka brings the dead back to life, He will be ruining the whole idea of danganronpa. it will just turn out the same as sword art online, maybe he can make it interesting, so i will wait and see

It's been three years since I looked at the first Danganronpa anime. While it wasn't one of the best anime I've seen, I did rather like it. Now we're skipping ahead to Danganronpa 3, because there wasn't a Danganronpa 2 anime. Maybe they thought the game wouldn't translate well. Maybe they didn't consider it good enough. Maybe they got distracted reading Voyages of the Cerberus and missed their window of opportunity. The first two are more likely by far but a man can daydream. The odd thing about Danganronpa 3 is that it's split into two settings, both of which were running at roughly the same time. This week, we'll be looking at the Mirai-hen & Kibou-hen setting this week. Although I may take a look at the Zetsubou-hen setting later this month. So, let's take a look and see how it holds u…

Tldr, bad writing, unlikable characters, and animation errors make this a truely unenjoyable experience from start to finish, with EXTRA bad parts thrown in for good measure.
I've played every Danganronpa game, and read every story and relevant side plot.
Starting from the first moments of this anime you'll notice a surprising lack of budget. The art is barely passable for a series of this size, the sound direction is forgettable at best, and the writing is awful. The character's are where danganronpa has always shined, but don't expect them to save the story this time. They are completely unlikable, and have no real set motivations or goals. The only time you'll learn anything new, interesting, or plot relevant about a character is in flashbacks seconds before they die.
Skipping the ar…

So its been a few days since I finished this anime and oh boy it was just a mess. Basically long story short, way to much stuff in it.
The characters are really eh, like they are just unlikable who cares about them really. I would love to learn more but you can't learn about them all in an anime. Monokuma is never in this, the most likable part of the games/show like come on. The only good characters are the despair guys (cause I have played the second game and freaking love them) and the 6 who survived in the first game and anime. Art was fine really, its just everything seemed dull and gray not much to look at. Like in the other games and animes you have different areas.
Sound was fine it gets better as it goes along. Not half bad honestly.
Now the big one... the story. This one is…

I need to play the games to watch this anime? Well, you can go forward from the first Danganronpa anime, that's ok, but if you wanna enjoy the 2 arcs of this last story it's recommended at least, Super Danganronpa 2 to be played.
Another recommendation if you gonna start the anime, it's see a chapter of this arc and 1 of the despair one, and repeat the process for better understanding.
Let's start, we got to the point to at last see a end of the situations involving hope and despair with its roots at Kibougamine Gakuen painting an end... This anime gonna start at the end of Super Danganronpa 2 (They gonna fill you up in some details needed in this story, if you don't play the game) with our very proud and powerful lucky student, Naegi Makoto being putting in scene in a new mutual killing…

Note: Before watching this please play through all three Danganronpa games (1, SDR2, and Another episode). Also you should watch the future arc episode with the despair arc in broadcast order. Watch future arc ep 1 then despair arc ep 1, and so forth and so on. Watching the two series in this order is very important as Despair arc develops some of the characters from the Future arc.
Danganronpa 3: Future arc is a sequel and essentially a finale to the Danganronpa series. Whereas the counterpart Despair arc is a prequel to the entire story, Future arc details the story after the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic event in human history. It reintroduces the killing game shown in the DR series prior, except this time, in the real world, without any school rules. There are completely fresh batc…

Danganronpa 3 Future has become a mixed bag for fans for the franchise. Even when it was announced that it would be a anime instead of a game, there were doubts that this could be done well. What didn't help is that it would only have 12 episodes for this side alone. After watching it, indeed certain things in the overall narrative didn't quite click well.
Before watching this, playing DR: Trigger Happy Havoc, Super DR2: Goodbye Island of Despair and DR Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is required. Also, alongside Side Future is DR Side Despair, which viewers are meant to watch side by side.
First off, most of the criticisms stem from the format. This franchise started as a series of games that average at least 20 hours of gameplay. The conclusion of the series being one 12 episode s…

So, Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen ends, what used to be a game, ends, so what can I say about this sequel??????????
Storywise, I gave it an outstanding 10 over 10, since the genre really did played out, as indicated, the plot was basically a hope vs despair theme as the first "Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation" ( don't include the prequel pls). And just like the frist sequel the story also played us audience as well, where one might think that the anime was more of a repeat of the first sequel , but was not........it really almost fooled us, kudos to the creator: Spike Chunsoft, whoever he or she is. FU, FU, FU, FU!
Art, well I don't have much to say about it since the only thing that have change was the character's attire, I'm…

I'm going to kind of melt in Future and Despair side, as they are intended to be watched at the same time, but I'm mostly directing my attention to Future.
I used to be a big Danganronpa fan. I got the VITA for the sole purpose of playing the games, when SDR2 was only getting translated by some random people on the internet and the first game had just gotten localized. I've spent a lot of my time on Danganronpa, analyzing it, doing fanarts, discussing theories with other people, reading the fan-translated novels, playing Ultra Despair Girls, and although it had some flaws, I really the Danganronpa series overall.
But when I knew that they announced an anime, I just had this bad feeling. Danganronpa: The Animation wasn't really good, as the quantity of episodes was just not enough for the…

Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen Review
_______________________________________________________
I have included a tl;dr near the bottom of this review if the length is too long.
Disclaimer: I have played both the Danganronpa 1 and 2 games to completion and have been following the series for years. (For reference, I would probably give the games about a 6/10) THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THIS SERIES AND MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE GAMES.
If a mystery is a typical "whodunnit" (as DR3 is), it sometimes relies a bit too much on the inevitable twist of the reveal of the culprit. However, it only requires a shift in perspective to create a quality story and to not become another entry into the dreaded "mystery box" genre. I have never been the biggest fan of myste…

I've only gotten into the Danganronpa series this past month, but the action packed in this season really brought back all the good parts of the original and made it much more fast-paced and dynamic. Its the perfect blend of action and psychological action. If only it didn't emphasize on hope and despair so much. We get it, Naegi is "Ultimate Hope" and so forth, but it just forces those two words around and around and around. It goes from trying to but despair as the overlapping theme to just full out "despair, 絶望. despair, 絶望, despair, 希望, hope , despair, and so on. It just made the anime a bit less entertaining. Overall, this anime was one of my top 10 anime of the season, maybe even number 1. I strongly suggest this anime to a lot of fans out there who are looking for good and action-pa…

If I had to describe Danganronpa 3 in one word, it would be "unnecessary". That's ultimately what it all boils down to. DR3 is not a necessary part of Danganronpa canon, nor is it necessary to watch it. It's completely disposable, and altogether just pretty terrible.
It's pretty hard to write an in-depth review of DR3 Future without going into heavy spoiler territory, since exactly where the story goes is a big part of why it's so disappointing, but I'll try my best. Future sets itself up as another killing game, although this time it's more akin to something found in Zero Escape than Danganronpa proper. It remains a murder mystery, albeit one very different to those found in DR1 and 2. The mystery's solution ends up not only being lame, but also massively predictable. The big reveal towa…

Danganronpa 3 for me is a very risky move for me especially due to the fact that it's a 12 episode anime and we know how that turned out to be last time. I reviewed Danganronpa 3 Despair arc and as I said it is a really broken anime.However, Future arc was really well constructed and was much better than despair arc, but it's still not the best thing i could have imagined. Im pretty sure hope arc will wrap things in a great way, otherwise This whole show would go to waste. So let's take a closer look about the anime that follows the events of the NWP.
Art 9/10
This anime no longer adapts the bright and energetic colors from the past entries. They decided to go really dark with this anime, even the blood is red now. I have to say that is a very daring decision to tamper with an art style t…

LA is gonna change up the format for this review as well as Zetsubou-hen by making it a sorta of 3-parter due to the nature of how Danganronpa 3's animes were presented so if you wanted to see LA's take on Zetsubou-hen and Kibou-hen then this review won't be in it.
Before LA talks about Zetsubou-hen, LA will say that both Mirai-hen and Zetsubou-hen anime are something of a companion piece with each other giving off clues or events that transpired that lead it to how or when it happened. The obvious companion piece both these anime have is "trying to find the traitor" and why some of the founders are butting heads with each other in Mirai-hen and "how Danganronpa's franchise started" as well as some backstory on some of the newer characters in Mirai-hen for Zetsubou-hen and both arcs gives…

With the end of Danganronpa 2, fans couldn’t help but be a tad bit disappointed with its conclusion as it didn’t wrap all the problems present in the franchise. And situations were left unsolved and we needed to know more about the “Future Foundation”. With the third Danganronpa being confirmed to be part of a new universe, the despair for the fans only continued. But with the announcement of a anime sequel to the second Danganronpa game, fans regained all hope for a proper conclusion for this universe, which will leave us satisfying. Whether or not Danganronpa 3 manages to succeed in doing so will only be decided once Kibou-hen airs, but for now, Mirai-hen is a satisfying continuation of the Danganronpa series; one that feels home with the franchise despite its differences with the previo…

(If you are looking for a complex story, (more) killing games, gore, and some serious plot twists then this is for you. I recommend you read through a synopsis of the other parts of the series or you may be confused on some of the things they mention. You should watch Zetsobou-hen alongside it for some background info.)
I like Dangan Ronpa 3 because it wrapped everything up into a nice present.
I like Dangan Ronpa 3 because it is split up into two parts (soon three) to not condense any info.
If you have been really into the series, you will be satisfied to know a lot of things are covered especially regarding Chiaki and the Remnants of Despair. You also get to see Junko Enoshima behind the scenes as she works her plan to bring the world into despair!
