Oh look, you're having a hard time grasping a very simple concept and you also feel the need to TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS. Thanks for proving my point. I'm saying that it's weird that so many people would get so obsessed with something they haven't even experienced. They've only read basic translations of the script and seen a couple of pictures and videos of the game. I don't understand how you could be so fanatic about something that you haven't even really experienced yet. I can understand being like 'wow, this looks really cool'. But I've seen so many people who are crazier about these games that they haven't even played compared to series where most of the fans have played the games. There is a way now which causes some difference but it's still not the same. And honestly your comparison to just reading a script to a movie isn't really valid at all. Since Dangan Ronpa is a VN it's not like there's much to see in the game version beyond still images that are pretty much solidly also in the LP on Something Awful, yeah there's some gameplay aspects in the trials and all that but that really has nothing at all to do with the story and pretty much the whole story experience is in the LP. Hahahahaha. Yeah, no. A big part of Danganronpa is the animations and how stylized all of the ways you navigate through the game is. All of that outside of the shooting the lies and misconceptions in the trial is completely left out of the LP. Even the OP of the LP has stated that he wished he could show a lot more of that stuff, because it's all really cool and adds so much to the game. As for the fanbase, honestly anything popular now is like that? In regards to like bad jokes and things, but I wouldn't say at all that that's the majority. As with most things it's a vocal minority it's just easier to notice crap than it is to notice like... normal people being normal so you just feel the need to assume it's everyone and completely generalize a fanbase, way to go. First off, I see that you completely missed where I said that not all fans are like what I described. Nice job. Secondly, yes, when things get popular you'll get the kind of people that through around unfunny jokes and awful memes like nobodies business. But Danganronpa's fanbase takes that to a whole new level. There are even fanbases that are far more popular than it that don't have it that bad. Like Ace Attorney has some of the awful memes and jokes thrown around, but if you want to have a legitimate discussion without people spamming awful jokes and memes and thoughtless posts, it's pretty easy. Danganronpa? I don't even know if I can call it a 'vocal minority'. Like I said, I went with my Japanese friends through so many Danganronpa websites, tags, blogs, and threads and all of them were filled to the brim with garbage like this: ![]() Even the LP thread on SomethingAwful is pretty devoid of intelligent conversation. And say what you will about SA, but it is a place made for thoughtful, intellectual conversation. That's why the have a paywall and why they mod so harshly for people with low content in their posts. And even SA is not spared from the wrath of the obnoxious Danganronpa fans. Lastly, if a fandom puts you off from even trying something, something is wrong with you. Like really if something seems interesting to you read/watch/whatever it regardless of anything. You're being a baby if that's a reason you're being put off. If you really come to love something and you feel like most people that like it are obnoxious then just don't interact with them? You'll find people who aren't like that trust me, generalizing is just ridiculous. The fandom has put off so many people because they expect the games to be as unfunny and putrid as the fanbase is. How hard is this to understand? Really, can you stop. You're throwing the entire thread off-topic to rant on about the fandom. We get it, you're frustrated and you hate the fandom. You know what? The fandom was the reason I got into it. They encouraged me to. So it's both off-putting AND on...putting? to different people. Honestly, you're just derailing this thread and flaming the people in the fandom in the process. |

Also, what you're saying may be true on Tumblr and the SA Forums - I don't know, I don't want to actually expose myself to them purely because I dislike spoilers, I've unintentionally ruined things for myself by accidentally seeing them when I wasn't supposed to in the past, so I really don't want to do it here. Anyway, yeah, what you're saying may be true there (apologies for going on a tangent), but we're not on there, are we? We're on MAL, a place that, so far, has been blissfully free of the horribly obnoxious fans of DR that are so common in fanbases that exist for pretty much everything - don't forget that, however bad you may think the fanbase to be, there are still much, much worse fanbases out there, so much so that DR looks pretty tame in comparison. But yeah, I digress, I'd really, really appreciate if you stopped going on about the fandom in a thread that's meant to be about the anime. Please? It's not that hard to do. |

i think the anime's really great so far and worth the wait!! i'm kinda disappointed in the low number of episodes, but i guess that leaves a shorter wait for a super dangan ronpa 2 anime! |

I personally can say that i loved and hated it at the same time. I'm glad that the ost and seiyuus are the same of the game. But only the ending is new (which i love btw) and the animation is not very nice. at least decent. As for the course, they shortened a lot of events into something more quick, which i think it's ok too. I'm not going to spoil anything but for example, when Sayaka fell down, the pose was from a kind of cliche scene where she bumps into Naegi. The character poses were also very similar to the game. in conclusion, this needs a bit more originality from the studio. But i'm not saying it's bad. Hope nobody wants to kill me xD (I played the game) |

This episode was really great, and I think they did a fine job working with things like time constraints, etc. Is it just me or is Naegi's head huge? Actually, everyone has a giant head but it really stands out for Naegi because he's so small. It looks like the first death will be halfway through the next episode, investigation for the rest of the episode, and then the trial in the third episode. I hope they don't overuse cliffhangers like the discovery of a body right at the end of an episode but it's pretty much a given that will happen at least once. |

Eh, it was... okay. The pacing was too rushed, honestly. And the tone felt really off to me. I think going that far into the cartoony was the wrong choice. But it didn't make any gigantic adaptation mistakes, and it somewhat impressed me a couple times, so we'll see. If they can pull off some of the dramatic moments from the game, that might go a long way. Watching it again with subtitles will definitely help me figure out how I feel about it. |

It honestly does not matter if we haven't played the game when there was no chance that it would be translated in the first place, so we read the LP. Seriously. Get over it already. |

I wonder why that gold sword was in Naegi's room at that time? How are they gonna explain how that got there in the first place (unless Maizono grabbed it beforehand and placed it in Naegi's room without actually asking Naegi to get it). Anyhow I like the way they are condensing it so that there will more focus on the class trials. |

If you need to vent your anger at the danganronpa fanbase, just make a blog about it, no one wants to hear that stuff in the anime discussion. Cool with that? I said it nicely, too, so please stop. Overall this looks like a good adaptation, albeit a bit rushed. Animation's pretty meh though. |

Hope nobody wants to kill me xD (I played the game) I think you shouldn't expect too highly from this director. This is the same man who directed the recently reviled abomination that is Devil Survivor 2: The animation. To be somewhat fair, the man has worked on Angel Beats!, Humanity has declined, Persona 4, Carnival Phantasm, and Seto no Hanyome. All of which had an emphasis in comedy, but then again, comedy is subjective, some of which gained mixed reviews. If there is anything to say on a positive note, it is that most of what he does is keep the anime adaptions to be as faithful to the original source as much as possible. Whenever he deviates, like the added humor to some of the anime he's worked on, and as well as writing original plot lines, it tends to end up making people have thiiiiiiiiiis face expression. >:( |

Exactly same thing happened with Angel Beats. However P4 was such a great adaptation for having such a minimal budget.

I think that is a good sign for the series. |

Gives more hope from all the despair. ;) I actually liked most of the anime he has directed so far, with the exception being Devil Survivor 2: The Animation. I, too, am confident that he won't do anything that would upset the fans and viewers this time around. Dangan Ronpa's anime seems fine for the time being, my opinion of it is subject to change, of course. My only wish is that the show wasn't 13 episodes. Even just 1 more episode would give better breathing space. |

MrOCD said: You actually need to blame on current broadcasting system of Japan, which is always cour based. That really gives not much choice to the content - either 1-cour to be rushed or 2-cour to make series loosen and explode its budget. Most of game adaptation unfortunately, do not really have budgeting power unlike some light novels which have big publishing company behind - which explains why devil survivor had to become 1-cour as well instead of 2-cour.My only wish is that the show wasn't 13 episodes. Even just 1 more episode would give better breathing space. What I can really say to anyone upset about this series being 1-cour is just lower your expectation a bit, knowing that it can't be helped - it's not Kishi's choice to make it 1-cour. Just hope that best outcome comes out with limited capacity of quality. |

Is there a sub out or it is just a popular game in Japan? Usually an anime reaches more than 1 page when the subs are out . |

Hmm....must kill one to escape....so 7 murders results in 7 people free which accounts for 14 people. What's going to happen to the 15th person when there's no one left to kill? Was that by chance what the prologue was highlighting? (Avoid spoiling me please) Also....I had no expectations set for this anime and it was simply superb. My fav VA is there too...hope he doesn't die too soon/horribly if at all. |

How'd the sword end up in Naegi's bedroom? Lol, in all honesty, the episode moved a little too fast. I like it how some parts of the first few minutes looked like the game itself, haha. I'm not dissing on it, of course. I've played and finished the game already(translation releasing near the anime release date? lol coincidence), and I'm most certainly awaiting the despair you guys will feel. :D 4/5, I suppose. Let's not hope they rush everything next time. Also, can it have a better opening? That was just the opening theme for the game itself. :( |

Zhabin said: Hmm....must kill one to escape....so 7 murders results in 7 people free which accounts for 14 people. What's going to happen to the 15th person when there's no one left to kill? Was that by chance what the prologue was highlighting? (Avoid spoiling me please) Also....I had no expectations set for this anime and it was simply superb. My fav VA is there too...hope he doesn't die too soon/horribly if at all. I haven't played the game, but what gives you the idea that only 7 murders will happen and 7 ppl will be free? |

Simply making assumptions since a good portion of the characters APPEAR to be against killing anyone and that there's no reason to kill more than 1 person each. Of course there could be a psycho murderer who just enjoys killing. I figured it might be some horrible punishment for the character (if there is one) that refuses to kill anyone while keeping himself alive until the end. Truly despair inducing, no? |

BIG SPOILER FOR NEXT EP(I THINK) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED When a person gets murdered and the body is found, a Class Trial happens. If they find out who killed _____, the killer gets punished(in unimaginable ways, at that). If they chose the WRONG person, or the person who didn't kill _____, the real culprit gets to escape, and all others will get punished) |

The students must find the real culprit during the trial. If they are correct, the murderer will be executed if wrong everybody else except the real culprit will be executed and the culprit will graduate. |

Interesting start, but considering the hype behind this show I was expecting a bit more. Also, that dude's hair gives the Yu-Gi-Oh characters a run for their money. |

True, but in a sense it is because That rule is only applied /after/ the first murder. So in a way, it is spoilery not only to the audience, but the characters in-universe. A certain person may not have had that motivation to do so if he or she heard about it first before committing the act. |

I enjoyed the first episode, finding the concept of being stuck in a place with nothing to do and someone must kill someone to escape a place to start an interesting story, only I'm not liking the characters just yet, and unfortunately I doubt I will, none of them seem particularly memorable (Aside from their appearances I mean.) |

I'm pretty sure you'll remember some of them, like Yamada, who I think is a descendant of Keima, without the...appeal? haha :) Anyway, almost all of the characters are pretty memorable, but you'll find that out of course when time passes. |
