That was honestly the best they could've done with only 20 minutes and an obviously low animation budget. Great watch; definitely the best out of all the post-DR2 installments.

I wish this was the plotline that got 12 episodes instead.

Regular life of despair-hen + few Mirai-hen characters with Narcissist / luck guy as main guy, who hates talents, except despair-hen main guy seems digital for people in that world. He came to "destroy the system that created the world", a.k.a wake him up from his dream

They had to shit on these characters one more time huh. Hopefully this was the last time sdr2 got milked and leave us with the good old memories of the game.
I had a good laugh at least.

Mediocre art and animation quality aside, this was really fun. Anything Komaeda related is automatically good for me. And yes, I loved DR3 and thought that it was almost as good as the games (shocking, right?). So the entire episode was basically a fake digital world where Komaeda is given "hope" I guess. And this explains how Hinata was able to get rid of the despair inside everyone.

5/5

I'm satisfied that I could watch Despair arc characters again.
It was good to know what actually had happened between Despair arc and Hope arc.

I wish if they would make one more ova which is about story after Hope arc...
I'm just Japanese who loves Anime, Manga and Light Novels.
And I translate Japanese into English to be fluent.

Pretty good, as usual the soundtrack is one of the best parts about Danganronpa. It still didn't explain though about the other characters appearances being normal, which shouldn't be the case based on what is said in DR2.

This OVA was almost entirely about the best character in the whole franchise, hence, an automatic 11/10.

Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral.
Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.

Wow !

That was better than I expected !
I tought that gonna be a full fanservice OVA, a piece of shit.

But we have a interessant prequel to Kibou Hen.
There are also danganronpa 2 references like the Nagito's hand or the Nagito's death !

I like it.

So we still make story for mess that was Danganronpa 3?
Well at least it's better than Kibou. It maybe even try to repair some big flaws in Kibou, but if that's the case, then this fail in it.

Although it was fun to see the guys again, I can't say this OVA was necessary.

I honestly don't know what to say, it's ok I guess but isn't anything special.

It seems they want to make me love Nagito by all means, but even this special episode failed to do it.

I liked DR3 a lot, but I can't really see the point of this OVA. Personally, I would have preferred if they made some kind of an intro to DRV3 instead, or something else related to the new game.

Though I did lol at the Smooth Naegi. i guess this is how Nagito sees him?

I wasn't expecting this to make me less salty about the mess that is Kibou-hen so I'm satisfied. It pandered to me a lot since Komaeda and Sonia are my favourite SDR2 characters-- seeing Sonia get so much shine in particular when she's normally sidelined made me very pleased.

Overall, I was more or less expecting what we got and wasn't disappointed. It would have been nice to explore how the SDR2 characters got over the fact that they actually killed each other in a virtual world but I guess this is what you get when you write the ending to the DR3 anime before anything else. That definitely doesn't excuse the amount of unexplained things regarding how jarringly idealistically happy Kibou-hen felt, but this was still fun if you treat it as a stand-alone OVA, which is what I did.

Dunno what all that hate is for. I watched (marathoned) the whole DR3 anime series purposely in the wrong order (all of Depair arc -> then all of Future arc, with Hope at end) because switching around seemed too much of a bother and I really enjoyed it despite the obvious spoilers I got from following the wrong order and I also enjoyed this OVA, so my guess is people probably dislike it because of release speed rather than the actual content.


Also: Is this the last instance of "this" universe of Danganronpa? Or will there be anything else? Else it means it's time to move on to DR V3.

This was way more easier to swallow than the entire DR3. Seriously. Real Komaeda is the best Komaeda. KomaHina for life, also. THEY TOUCHED HANDS TWICE. PLUS WHE KOMAEDA WAS LIKE "I'M JUST UNLUCKY" AND HINATA WAS LIKE "HMMM" AND SMILING BECAUSE HE KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW~~~~~
Srsly, for me this is the thing I wanted for DR. My babes all alive and well and without the mess that was DR3. This at least doesn't fuck with the rest of the story so far. Yeah. This is the cannon ending for me, and the rest is being ignored as cannon. Thank you.
