Dealing with these characters from before they grew from experience is awful. All that character development down the drain. x_x

I get that this is a prequel but compared to the first episode of the Future Arc, this was dreadful. Having to deal with Hiyoko Saionji especially makes this hard to stomach. At least the post-ED part shows promise that things will get interesting. The music was also pretty great, as always. I enjoyed the remixes.

Character intros almost feels fillerish. But I've been told it explains more backstory of folks in Mirai hen (but wait all the characters are different except for "dead housekeeper", drunk Scout/teacher, & Animator).
Their personalities quite colorful, but won't learn named till the fodder dies off. Somehow already knew Komaeda & Chiaki's names w/o playing the games.

I was laughing so hard at the idents. I couldn't believe it. Side note: It's a shame that each series is only 12 episodes. Like seriously?

One note: why is Kuzuryuu showing up to class? I would have thought with his attitude that he would have blown it off.

Also, it looks like we're going to finally learn who thought it was a good idea to commission the Izuru Kamkura project.


As per Wikia: Fuyuhiko also shows that he has a somewhat pure heart and very strict to the rules. He’s the type who takes honor and moral codes seriously. For instance, he is strictly against underage drinking, underage driving and underage sex. In Danganronpa 3, he is one of the few students that attended the class, even though he didn't have to. He also desperately tried to stop Kazuichi Soda from molesting Sonia Nevermind when they were under the effect of aphrodisiacs.

DR2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time. It's great to see the prequel of this game. But honestly. I wish it will be dubbed since the English dub of DR2 was abnormal good.

casually screaming.

peko v mukuro was amazing and i'm loving how much komaeda seems to know about what's going on in spite of being away. i guess that's shsl luck for you. i'm also hoping that ryota manages not to fall into despair in spite of all that's happened. we didn't see him in sdr2 which could really go either way in terms of being a good or bad sign.

but hinata and hinami though. i already can't.

This sure was a hectic episode, nice character introductions and setting placement. But quite hectic! Well let's see what the next episode has to offer!

Poor Mikan thought she was called rotten by Chisa, "kusatta mikan" = "rotten oranges"
she always manages to fall into some of the most awkward poses

Alternating between Future and Despair like most have recommended. This one is definitely more upbeat than its counterpart!

This episode of this Danganronpa is much funnier then Danganronpa The Animation. I have a feeling this is gonna be a really good serious considering the comedy in the first episode, but I also think when it starts to get serious its gonna be spine chilling.

Was a interisting start, where se can watch how the HOusemaid teache "collect" the ULtra students to asisst to classroom!!
This story, the general plot, is before the dark day... is before the Danganropa 2, when the world was well, in peace ;)

6/10 is interesting, but not special, and without mistery ;)

- Peko, Mikan, Ibuki, Sonia, heck everyone's back! And their expressions/reactions (expecally Soda's) similar to the first game, feels like I'm watching a School Mode version of DR2.

- This has to be set before DR Zero because it's so light hearted, but since this is DR something will eventually go wrong, not sure when though, probably if... nah, when Junko arrives.

- Why is a Chiaki here? Plothole? Fan service? Or...


I liked this episode better than Future's because I've played the game and its nice seeing the cast of DR2, especially Peko again..

Amazing episode and a great start to Zetsubou-hen. I knew Chisa had waifu potential, but this episode sealed it. Can't believe they did that to her. My waifu Mikan was so perfect. Peko looked beautiful. Hiyoko was born a bitch. Loved the Nagito cylinder scene in the OP. lol Nice OP song by Binaria. Megumi once again with another great DR ED song.

-so wth was up with the beginning?? it seems like it is simply a 4th wall breaking moment,and danganronpa is known for having 4th wall jokes,but it is also known for lots of little things that turn out to be huge hints in hindsight (like DR1's comment about Junko's photos being "different from how she looked"). i am not certain which of these two categories that falls into yet.

-another very weird thing: why is Peko not with Fuyuhiko?? it was literally stated in DR2 that she almost never left his side,yet he attends alone while she remains in her room?? i highly doubt this will be explained,so i will assume that it is a minor plothole. a really stupid one though :/

-on a more positive note,this episode is HILARIOUS!!! I LMAOed over almost every joke in it XD. liked the small pixelart screens that separated the scenes too :)

-how did they capture Gundham lol? he was literally the only one that we didnt see to some degree how he was made to come XD

-the impersonator scene confused me at first. so he was impersonating the Animator? where is the real animator then? graduated already? also,i expected the impersonator to be far more strong willed like how he was in DR2,where he was literally my favorite character despite how short he lasted. guess he was imitating the animator's cowardice but i was still disappointed :(

-so there WAS a real Nanami. guess she is going to get to know Fujisaki and Hajime and then die horribly,thus triggering Hajime's descent into despair Izuru,which really sucks :(

-at first i thought hajime was going to be one of the students she summons lol. i forgot that he is a reserve course student. when she took Nanami instead i was like "0_o?" and then i got it XD

overall,i enjoyed the Despair episode far more than the Hope episode. we will see if that continues in the future episodes.

No, Fuyuhiko always wants Peko to be his normal friend and keep their relationship as a secret.. The same thing happen when they are in island, and I believe in the school too ...

he said that,but for someone as obsessed with fuyuhiko as peko is,to not be always beside him (not as a servant since he doesnt want that,but playing the role of a simple friend)makes no sense. what if he was attacked/got in danger/wanted her to do something/etc? she is pretty much a yandere. yanderes dont leave their loved ones alone. heck,a future episode says that

This was a decent introduction for these characters, and I like the danganronpa music playing in the background.

I'm curious to see how they'll connect this to the games, hopefully there aren't to many inconsistencies.

Wow, Mitarai was a fatso back then.
In reality, talent is all that matters to get far in life in most cases. If you're just an average/ordinary person, there's a big chance you'll never get far in life.
