    Meh, could be worse

    It's not the best ending of the saga, but I really consider it to be between decent and meh, both Future Side and Despair Side, but Hope Side is very good

    Of course, there are some inconsistencies with Danganronpa Zero, and other things that just don't make sense. Not to mention, it has the worst ending ever for the Despair Girls game.

    Many faults

    Although their are clear flaws in both pacing and early characterization wise, Future arc still is a pretty decent watch. As with the DR games, it is always so stressful for the new episode to come out because you don't know who might die. The mystery of the traitor is not obvious and make you think of all the possibilities. One of the biggest downsides, however, is the underwhelming ending. Character wise, although it startes out in a weak manner, gets better as episodes progress, though it is heavily limited. Although both Despair arc and Future arc are disappointing in many aspects, both are still a decent watch for dangaronpa fans.

    Don't listen to that other review

    I honestly don't know why that person wrote that this is actually a good show. I love the games so maybe this is a little biased but it is still a great show. I can see what he meant when he said it was rushed and I do agree but other then that it a great look into the lives of your favorite characters outside of the games.

    A story of hope that ends in despair

    While this show has some flaws, I still think it was really good, a great anime that I highly recommend to any fan of the Danganronpa franchise, it's a must see and will be remembered for a while just like previous entries in this franchise.

    They destroy everything that was built in the game

    The only enjoyment I got out of watching this series was viewing other people's reactions to it, and not the actual show itself, which seems to be most people's motivation for watching awful shows while they're airing. At least they did name the shows appropriately- Future Arc makes you wish you were in the future, instead of present, where you're watching it. Despair Arc puts you in despair because you question yourself where your life went wrong that you're watching literal garbage. Hope Arc makes you hope the next entry in DR series will be better than what you just watched, but it won't be.

    • Trivia
      This is the only piece of Danganronpa media to feature red blood instead of pink. Despite this, the blood in the Despair side of the anime appears as the usual pink.
