What the hell was this ending? It kept throwing some random fantasies and then they end it with some HOPE bullet shooting LOL What's with the vote too? They voted against her and they won? The last arcs were really indulging and somewhat interesting and now they give this mess lol I was rolling my eyes through most of the episode at how dumb this is. And what do people see in this series, eh..

I thought the ending was kind of bad and I didn't really enjoy this last episode. Junko is crazy! Why did she have mushroom sprouting out of her hair though? I'm going to miss this series a lot. 9/10 for me if I ignore the ending.

Junko is too cute

The ending was kinda bullshit. So many things that don't make sense and are left unsolved. Disappointment all over the place.

God awful last episode of an overall pretty decent series. I'm still digesting how bad the ending was. All that talk about hope made me nauseous. It was so unbelievably stupid I was actually rooting for Junko and her cleavage.

The adaptation was fine for the most part, but I though that the game was much better, I guess it was hard to convey the feels of the VN onto an anime. These last 4 episodes were very good though, they weren´t rushed like the three first chapters.

About the ending, don´t forget that there´s a second game, its normal for them to leave so many thing left unsolved, the answers are in the second game.

Overall, I think that an 8/10 is fitting for this show, I thought it was pretty decent.

The adaption wasn't bad, but I highly recommend every who hasn't read/played the game to do so. The anime doesn't have very much character development and you don't get to know and love many of the characters like you do in the games. If I had just been watching the anime, I probably wouldn't have felt any emotion at the deaths, simply because we didn't get to know them well enough.

But, Super Dagan Ronpa 2 animated? NAGITO KOMAEDA ANIMATED = my dream come true, so I'm psyched!

So the first game didn't explain much about the ending either? Was it all reserved for the second game? I'm just wondering because watching this show by itself, it feels disappointing to not know what's going on outside and to leave us hanging with the bear.

Indeed, the VN didn´t explain anything that the anime didn´t. All of the stuff that was left open (including the outside world, what happened to the six survivors afterwards, etc) will probably be explained in the second game.

Yes the anime ended exactly like the game. SDR2 does talk about what happens after they leave, but in the end its really up to the viewer to decide if the survivor's HOPE is enough to handle the despair that is the outside world.

I was so excited for this series but over the course of the season I started giving less and less fucks for it.


I liked the game but watching the adaptation after was not a good idea, since knowing everything beforehand makes for zero re-watchability. (is that even a word?) Especially when it's a poor adaptation...


A very generous 5/10 but only for Oogami, best female, best waifu, best everything. <3~~
Otherwise i'm just completely over this.

I love Junko but as everything in the anime, it was better in the game. I really really hope they get more episodes if they do go ahead and animate SDR2. I'll watch it even if it's bad just because I like SDR2 more, but I really hope they try and improve it.

I'd never recommend this adaptation to whom hasn't played the game, time constraints really held it back.
Important dialogues for understanding the characters were removed, investigation was mostly skipped (so forget about you trying to solve the cases without the show presenting the solutions to you), the trials also were lacking details that made them contrived at times (Naegi's conclusions are never far-fetched in the game, unless you think the game can only be finished by people with IQ over 120), and in this last case it really lacked the talk about what despair and hope even mean.

Welil said:

Yeah, when you see a series with 2 seasons, you finish season 1 and say it's bullshit because stuff is unresolved. Brilliant.

Swaying between a 5/10 and a 6/10. This entire show was already too pretentious for my liking and now they squeeze in a speech about how hope beats despair? What is this? Elementary school?

This show definitely started out strong (I'm talking about the synopsis) and started to become weaker as it went on, to the point where I'm just not excited (Celeste arc) as much as the first case. Really enjoyed the spooky soundtrack and cool animation (only referring to the punishment scenes, overall animation below average)

Eh, a semi decent ending I suppose, although the "never give up hope!" thing felt corny and over the top. The case felt like it became anti-climatic once it turned into a hope vs despair battle royale. Although admittedly it was amusing to see Junko getting off to falling into despair for losing.

As for the rest of this series, it felt very underwhelming, poorly paced, awkward, and mediocre at best. Danganronpa just wasn't for me, hope the fans get a sequel but I'm bowing out of Hope's Peak from here. Either a 4 or 5/10 from me.

Lmao and not a single fuck was giving by Junko while taking those punishments, she took them all on like a boss, and died by Detention, if that's not bad ass, I dunno what is.

Really enjoyed Danganronpa, right from the 1st episode, I knew this is going to be one of my favorite shows of the season, if not the favorite.

Lol at that hope bullet shooting part. Kinda of too cheesy for me. But still, I like how positive Naegi is. It's also a huge surprise to see the truth about what happened to the world, I didn't expect that at all. Junko is another super weird character, I don't find the appeal with her, though props to her VA, that was some nice voice acting. I actually really enjoyed watching the mysteries, though I wish they were fleshed out more. I also really liked a few of the characters, but some others were just to over the top for me. It was a pretty entertaining watch and I had fun watching almost every episode (except this last one was okay).

How can people get this far into the series and not expect something this silly for the climax? Hope bullets was my most anticipated scene and I think they pulled it off pretty well. Here's the same scene from the game for comparison.

I expected despair.

To be honest I didn't expect this hope bs though, the only scene I remember being this silly was when Genocider Syo appeared for the first time.

So before I watched the final episode, I decided to watch the final class trial on youtube, which was over 3 hours long. And I gotta say....

Jesus Christ the adaptation sucked. When I was watching the game, everything was properly explained, and it made the trial that much more meaningful to me.

But when I saw this final episode, good God, Im so glad I watched the game version before the anime version, because I would have thought that it was cheesy as hell for an ending.

Now granted, Im not blaming the anime, I mean what could you do with such little time?

But I learned my lesson. If this series ever gets a 2nd season, Im not watching a single episode until I finish watching the entire game on youtube, since the game is where all the suspense will be.

Still enjoyed seeing Junkos tits however.

Junko was running around restocking the food herself and eating alone in the cafeteria, which is probably the reason why it's off limits at night! The anime didn't include her saying "I love you all!"

She organized it in advance with the Super High School Level Despair resources. And air being contaminated does not mean food can't grow anymore or you can't breathe at all.
