Have you ever hated a show so much that you need to keep watching in just so you can rant about it with more legit arguments? Have you ever hated something so much you need to research it so you can explain to anyone why it sucks? Because those are my feelings towards this series.

I'm not gonna talk about the premise. You already know it if you are reading this. And actually, I thing the plot could be good, if well done. Which might have been the case on the game. I didn't play it, so I have no idea if it was. The thing is, in the series, it is not.

Saying the characters are "flat" is an understatement. They are pathetic. Monokuma in particular. I'll talk about him later. Their talents? The reason they are considered "high class students"? Justified in two or three of them. The rest of their "special traits" are not worthy of the name.

Seriously, I can not stress this enough: THIS CHARACTERS ARE PATHETICALLY DESIGN. Visually and psychologically. They are the poorest excuse of a character. Maybe with one or two exceptions.

Now, let's talk about the fucking bear. He is not the cinical mastermind that should be running the whole thing. Some of his actions make no sense. One minute he is bored and wants something interesting to happen, the next he is getting bored WHILE the "interesting" thing IS happening. He is obnoxious, annoying, predictable as hell. Also, because of his design, there's no way of telling what the fuck his blushes, o his sweat beads, or anything that happens with his face means. Seriously, LEARN HOW TO FUCKING DESIGN A CHARACTER.

The visuals are bad the whole time, but they become plainly HORRIBLE in the execution scenes. Sure, it's fun the first time, maybe the second one too. After that, you just realize they are the cheapest attempt at doing something interesting but without spending too much money on it. Actually, the amount of still drawings used in the series makes me wonder if the producers where part of a "who can make an anime spending the less possible money on it" bet.

As far as the mystery solving goes: While some of the murders are solved in an interesting way, there are some cases that have a, here I go again, PATHETIC resolution. And when I say pathetic, I mean that the clue to solving them is overly used... and in kids shows. Seriously, I don't want to be specific, but NO ONE with a television could make mistakes like those after murdering someone and trying to play innocent. All of the murderers go crazy and start rambling and shouting nonsense when they are discovered. It gets old really fast. And some of the cases have strings that are never tied up. Clues that make no sense once the mystery is solved.
Another thing to say about the mystery solving, is that it is not possible to tag along as a viewer. Why? Because when a characters says something that will give the killer away, it is shown as text on the screen. So, non of that fun for us.

Also, the "emotional" moments lack emotion, and the comedy is bizarre and sick. I guess some like that kind of comedy. What can I say, killing someone by turning them into a sauce and eat them is very, very far away from my definition of comedy. Also, the bear being annoying or the characters being overly ridiculous and overly stereotyped are the most used "comedy moments" in the series. Might I say, those are even more pathetic attempts at comedy.

And the last episode. Oh god, the last episode.
The biggest plot twist? Not only doesn't make sense, but also has a ton of mistakes. The last death? Well, there's actually like five of them. And it's only one person dying. Only, they don't die, even if they clearly should. They just keep being alive and getting killed in different ways.
The main character of the episode? Triple, if not tetra personality. Seriously, it changes back and forth between Psyco, Basic-stupid-hamsterlike-anime girl, Fetish-boobs-teacher, Serious, Traumatized and Normal. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. For no reason whatsoever, not adding anything to the atmosphere of the scene, and making the whole thing just plainly annoying.

After the last episode, there was a little something that makes me think there will be a sequel to this anime. Needless to say, I will stay the hell away from it.
