Danganronpa: The Animation Review

If you like anime, Danganronpa is a poignant , unique study on hope, loss, and friendship. If not, Danganronpa is about stereotypical sexy anime teenagers being mutilated horribly by their own clitches. Thats my mothers point of view.  

The story follows boring yet utterly lovable protagonist Makoto Naegi, who gets picked to enter the worlds greatest highschool, hopes peak academy. To bad he’s forced to participate in a game of murder and witness the death of his friends.Not so lucky now, Naegi. Oddly he doesn’t seem to mope about it, and attempts to cheer everyone up.
What follows are six heartbreaking yet funny chapters, each unique. I cried the most in 2 and 4, but 1 is a great introduction to the kill or be killed world of the Anime. And 6 has a swell twist. 
Its main flaw is its insanely Japanese. Your girlfriends dead, but look! The bear can sing. I have no problem with the actual humor, as it balances the despair inducing horror quite nicely. But does the hulking fighter girl need an upskirt shot?
The desings of the charecters are swell too, ranging from stylish to wild. Overall, a design students paradise. The enviroments need a little bit of work though.
And did I mention its based on a video game? Yup. 

Final thoughts :Suprisingly, I loved every moment of danganronpa. Its hopelessly clitched, but the incredible writing, engrossing mysteries, heartbreaking saddness, and quality animation make up for that.
4.5 out of 5.
