I dislike how the future arc handled things, but that doesn't carry any weight in this review.

The switching back and forth between hope and despair was pretty odd, and it felt pretty unnecessary for the most part. They could have structured the story differently so that wouldn't be needed. Still, I didn't mind that too much.

This side of the story was actually pretty good. I enjoyed seeing how class 77 came to be, and it served as a nice prologue to the series as a whole. I enjoyed the story of the first two games, and I feel like this side of the ... story mostly served to flesh out the events that we had already learned about previously in Danganronpa 1 and 2.

Pretty disappointing entry to the series. The main driving force being the initial two detective mystery games is followed up with a weird action focused tragic future anime. While this genre can work, it feels out of place with the main games, which are about solving the individual murder cases and the overall case of the story.

The original appeal of the series feels like it was cut out, and all we're left with is a watered down action anime that never really ties up or reconciles its overarching narrative of the world coming to an end. If everyone is still filled with despair how ... does hope win in the end? I know the main theme of the series is reaching for hope despite an uncertain and scary future, but that doesn't excuse not writing a proper conclusion to your story.
