| I don't get why there are so many fans of Danganronpa, I have seen it, and I can safely say it's shit. I know opinions vary, but really why is Danganronpa so popular? It's a confusing, cluttered series with too many characters, there is no pacing at all, the protagonist is boring, and it's so edgy and pandering. I haven't played the games- you can tell me that "i shouldn't judge it if i haven't played it" but I really don't care, I already did my research, and I hear that the games are better than the adaptation but very simular. If you are a fan, I respect your opinion, but please educate me and explain what you find appealing about Danganronpa, cause I sure can't see what there is to like. |

| But there's a teddy with an outtie belly button. That's kinda cool, right? |
| Picked no since I haven't watched it. |
     |
| I like Danganronpa but it's really only good for memes. |
| You already answered your own question. It's cause of the games, not the anime. |
| Adaptation is shit because all the characters are un-memorable and when they die you don't care |
| I feel like the games are way better. The first season was really rushed. I didn't enjoy it, but I like the premise of the show. I started watching the prequel and sequel (both are S2) and I put it on hold because I just couldn't enjoy it. I feel as bought I would definitely need to play the games in order to appreciate the series (or dislike the series even more by how incomplete and shit they are in comparison) |

| Literally nothing good about the games is translated into the anime. No amount of 'research' is going to change the fact that you haven't actually played the god damn things. |

| edge gorefest in school setting with waifus and meme character, I don't think I've seen this bringing money before |
 |
| The anime was great fanservice towards those who've played the games and only one of the Danganronpa anime was an actual adaption, the rest were original anime based off the series, in which case, you'll miss out on the finer details without having played all 3 games as it's basically required. It's like complaining why season 2 of a anime makes no sense when you haven't even seen the first. |
| The games are similar only in the sense that the general story and characters are the same. The plot is far more fleshed out and slower paced in the games that really helps to build up the climatic moments and crazy plot twists. The main char is kinda bland but that doesn't really matter when u play from his perspective. There's also a lot of free time between story events that let u spend time with ur fav characters and helps flesh them out a lot. Also actually finding out clues, talking to witnesses and using the evidence to deduce answers and catch the culprit make it far more enticing than having all of that thrown in ur face in rapid succession like in the anime. The casts are weird and eccentric and really fun to get to know. The over the top wackiness of the story and the suspense and atmosphere created by playing really pull u in and sell u on its absurdity. That's more or less why I love the Danganronpa series and can't wait to play V3 later this year |
| Well if it's about the anime, then yeah 100% agree with you that it sucks. But if it's about the game, then no especially SDR2 since its mystery is so well-written and unpredictable. You really shouldn't research this stuff and spoil yourself, y'know. It takes the fun out of it. |
 |
| In regards to the anime i completely agree, but not with the games. When i first started playing the games i was pretty overwhelmed by the number of characters, but by the end of it i had no problem remembering their names and everything about them. You get so much time to interact and learn about what makes each character unique,it's what make the games so fun to play and the characters get barely any time to shine in the anime. There's also the mysteries which get insanely rushed in the anime adaptation, to the point where some clues are even missing. A class trial takes over 1 hour in the games and is watered down to 20 minutes in the anime. Anyone who's a fan will tell you that the games are astronomically better.The anime is only good for someone who's already played the game and wants a quick abridged version. |
Symphyon said: People like it because of the original games, not because of the anime. Funny enough I was one of those that kinda disliked the anime a bit but then headed to go and play the sequel just to get to DR3, and then I went to go through DR1's game and then rewatch the anime from there. People like the series because of the source material and how it's also fun to go and piece things together when it comes to the mystery. In the games they develop more compared to the anime since the anime version straight up rushes the free time events unfortunately (which isn't much needed but at the same time it under-develops the cast). Free time events and also the plot twists when it comes to the games themselves, which don't become as forced compared to the actual anime adaptation. Which the anime isn't even THAT bad though btw. It's just an average adaptation if anything. DR3 is supposed to be for those that have already played both DR1 and DR2, or have seen the anime first and then going straight to the games, so its basically an original arc that closes the franchise as a whole and without much context you'll get spoiled massively. Just saying. Oh yeah also OP, you need to work on your paragraphs more when it comes to sentences though. You make me tempted to play the DR games, I heard they're really good. I always thought the anime was really confusing until I found out it was based off of a game. Definitely can't compare a proper game with in-depth character development to an anime that rushes through all of those aspects. |
  |
Wait.. It has pr0n? or is that just gorn? |
| I haven't seen it or played the game so I have no opinion on this. |
 |
| The anime is trash, the vn on the other hand is the real shit |

Having known people who were very into the 'fandom', a lot haven't even played the game, maybe watched walkthroughs on yt. I saw some of the anime and wasn't impressed, played some of the game and forgot about it but the fandom killed it for me. |
| I like the mysteries and the meme characters in the game, but the story is bad overall, which is mich more apparent in the anime. |
| I agree with OP 100% it's the shittiest full length TV show I've seen so far. |

| You don't really need to get why Danganronpa has its fan base really or why its good in other members eye. Everyone has their own preferance, just as you said members have different opinion and of course you also. So one thing which is mostly applied, if you don't like it, you will not like it not matter how we beautify Danganronpa to you. So instead of asking why, you should just let it rest and rate it badly. |
| what do you mean it's the greatest multimedia franchise of our time, even greater than persona itself |
 |
| I was like you once. Watched the anime and thought it was shit. I didn't even have interest in the games either just because of how bad the anime was. Though I was looking for a new game to play and couldn't find anything I was particularly in the mood for. I then found Danganronpa and just thought to maybe give it a try. All I can say is that the game completely changed my opinion on Danganronpa. When people were saying that the game is much better, they were definitely not lying. |
| The games are way better than the anime. |
 |
| So you came to cry here? You know this is a hate thread? Is it fun to divide the community, with due respect to your opinion? (You know, calling something "shit" can't be covered up by saying "it's my opinion asdfgh" Also, I see you are hellbent on not playing the games, but I can only say that it's your own loss. The mystery elements are way better than in the average classic whodunits, although they can't compare to Agatha Christie. |
 |
| It fucking sucks since they give 0 characterization and development for most characters, making it seem like they are just one dimensional anime troupes getting killed. You barely get to see the investigation so you couldn't actually figure out the killers naturally, but you still can because the anime makes it super obvious giving a bit of focus to the characters right before they die and make the killer look super nervous and obvious during the trial. Since only applies to the anime, the game is actually good since you do the investigation yourself and get to spend a bunch of time with the characters and get to know them. |
 |
| Was shitposting in FB/Instagram about series that you hate, or perhaps in YT not enough for you? |
| >Watch Danganronpa 3 anime(s) without playing either VN's, thus missing out on basic character development. >Watch Danganronpa 1 and not play the VN. What is wrong with you. The games are literally the best part, as well as the origin of the series. And they are completely necessary to even grasp the concept of the Danganronpa 3 anime. As for the Danganronpa 1 anime, it's a steaming load of crap. OP said: II haven't played the games- you can tell me that "i shouldn't judge it if i haven't played it" but I really don't care, I already did my research Yes, because doing research clearly allows you to absorb the experience of an entire series of games. I guess I should research the Persona and Metal Gear series. That'll be as enjoyable as actually playing them, right? Also, your list does not contain either of the adaptations. |

| The amount of danganronpa loving fucks coming out is too real rn. Like this is true bait to a certain audience and trying to lurk them the fuck out. ???? The fuck OP does their research to know something is good. Brb while I make a thread about a game and but never play it. Just research backing me up. Days of studying the wiki and opinions from others I guess. |
CynicalCycIops said: It's a confusing, cluttered series with too many characters, there is no pacing at all, the protagonist is boring, and it's so edgy and pandering. And that's exactly why they tell you to play the game. Research is not enough to answer those matters. The game is not cluttered, confusing and with bad pacing. Everything is given the proper amount of time and detail for you to process, understand and enjoy everything that's happening, unlike the anime. Number of characters are only a problem when the show don't have enough time to deal with each of them properly. The game does. The MC might be boring, but that's the intention. He's a boring ordinary teenager amidst a bunch of prodigies with extreme personalities. Besides, he's not the primary focus and appeal of the game. And how is it "edgy and pandering"? Elaborate. Also, you know how the anime skipped through the investigations? Well, in the game you get to play those parts. You investigate, gather evidence and form theories so you can use them in the class trial (which you also play). |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-hen (or the Despair Arc) is genuinely a great addition to the series (and the only great, or even good one). That being said, any of the Danganronpa's non-game content is utterly worthless, unless you played them. |
 |
| Seriusly though. Play the game. All the anime's problems come from being too rushed and cluttered |
| the anime was a rushed mess but the pacing of the games and the characters is what made it a good series. |

Actually I fully intend on playing the games, they have been on my Steam wishlist for a while, and once I make enough, I plan to purchase them- but I'm in no rush. And the whole concept and characters bother me, even if the game has proper pacing and mystery, it's still pandering and edgy. I know many people who are in the fanbase and have never played the games, and I just want to know why and rant a little- is that really so bad? It's anime criticism not fucking radical feminism. Regarding my list, I don't have everything on there, I perfered leaving out the oversaturated anime with big fanbases, like- I've seen every Ghibli film, but I don't think it is necessary to add them. |

| Because we are all one in the same, never opposites we play the same game. |
 |
| It's popular because of the game I believe. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
