The anime itself was amazing. While I am no longer a fan of danganronpa, I did watch the anime when I was and I truly was interested, I’d love to rewatch it.
However character development was slow, and not all of the characters really got to show their personality.

Also, the finale felt rushed and just wasn't that interesting. I rewatched it a few times and I still cannot understand it. I would also suggest watching/playing the game before watching this. I don’t think a new watcher would completely understand everything.

There are also a few more issues with the game and the anime itself.
One, Junko was a poor choice for the villain. Yes, she is a quirky cool character, however it was easy to tell she was the villain right off the bat. She looked strange and she was also killed off too quickly. It just didn’t go out well.

Two, this anime had too much filler. Some of the conversations were useless, and some romance felt like it was just thrown in there. It didn’t seem like the producers really cared if it made sense or not, they just needed something. Which didn’t help.

Three, the “adaptation” part was strange. As user 0215MADman said, “The idea of adaptation is to translate a property from one medium to another.” Danganronpa: The Animation did that, but… it felt like they just animated the main story of the game, then reused everything from the game. They even included those “Objection!” bullets.

The execution animations look good in the game, but they look so tacky in the anime. The game's style is sort of different from the anime, and the execution animations fit the game's style (makes sense because it was made for the game), but not the anime’s style. They literally just took the game animations and threw them in the anime.

There's also just a lot of missing things from the anime that could have easily been put in. For example, there were no investigations (or at least not many) so when they did the trials, they would pull out random information and clues that the viewer had not seen.

Some story plots however were very good, and were interesting such as the Alter Ego plot. I enjoyed that a lot, honestly. The character backstories were also quite interesting and it left me begging for more (in a positive way.)

Overall, this feels a bit lazy for a danganronpa anime, and it was a bit disappointing. However, it was still a decent anime that I enjoyed, and I would watch it again.

My apologies if this review was just me rambling, this is all my opinion, please keep that in mind. If you are a fan of danganronpa, I would suggest you watch this and write a review yourself.

Overall rating: 7.5/10
