So no one likes 3's anime but it's necessary to watch it for V3? Also, how is the dub for V3?
Hmmmm 🤔

LTTP: Danganronpa Series (DGV3 in progress)
- Thread starter Skittles
- Start date
It's hard to say anything without spoiling V3, but it isn't necessary for that game. DR3 is the direct sequel to 1 and 2, so if you want the ending to the Hope's Peak storyline then you have to watch 3. However while V3 doesn't need DR3, there is a reason why it should be done after. You'll just have to trust us on it though.
Generally pretty good, a couple of them are really awful but the JP voices are definitely not as strong as DR1 and 2, in part because Monokuma's long time VA (Nobuyo Oyama) retired due to dementia, so while I recommended sub for 1 and 2 I'd recommend dub for V3.
The anime wraps up the story from 0/1/2/Despair Girls. V3 is a stand alone affair.
Thanks for the thread, this has been an entertaining read.

Ahhh, guess ill watch it while grinding out the extra modes. How are the eng/jp voices for the anime? Any preference there?
Thank you, these are fun to write too
The anime would actually be a great chance for you to hear the original JP voices for the entire cast of DR1 and DR2 so you can see how they stack up against the dub, Monokuma's VA had changed at this point though. I've only seen a little of the dub (because honestly I refuse to ever watch DR3 again) but I'm very, very firmly in the sub camp for the anime as they got some fantastic VAs for the new characters like Chisa (Mai Nakahara) and Ruruka (Inori Minase).
I dunno what they're saying, OP, but I never watched DR3. I only played 1, 2, and V3 because I heard how horrible the anime is and I understood everything just fine. :) You should be okay. I do know what they mean, though, when they say that if you're gonna watch the anime, then do it before playing V3. I agree with that. It's not necessary, but if you decide to watch it, absolutely watch it before you play V3. And no, none of us can tell you why. XD
This has been an amazing series (from the nonary games into the danganronpa series) .
have you given thought into what you want to tackle next?

Watch DR3 but adjust your expectations. This series was almost never good at plot writing worth taking seriously... And as it turns out without the amazing class trial premise to carry the whole thing, the narrative style of the franchise really breaks down.
The DR3 anime wasn't especially good but I don't understand the massive amount of hate it gets either. I just thought it was kind of whatever, and it's basically the sort of ending I expected for the Hope's Peak arc.
DR3 Anime has an amazing amount of good ideas and concepts that could have made for something that really pushed the franchise forward, but it drops damn near every ball it has and the result is a frustrating mess of a show.
V3 is far more competent and solid, but that's only because it's blatantly retreading a lot of the same ground as the first two games.

Future arc was significantly less of a problem than Despair arc was, that is where most people's hate of DR3 stems from.
I don't even remember what caused most of the hate, mind giving me a refresher on what's the cause? (in spoilers of course)
Retcons out of the wazoo. The big lingering plot point from DR2 was how the students were turned to despair by Junko, dialogue from Mikan and others implied she brainwashed them by individually manipulating them (such as in Mikan's case, accepting her for who she is), but nope Kodaka instead retconned that in favour of a stupid meta "everyone was brainwashed by watching anime" ending. Chiaki's backstory was also retconned to bring her back, rather than being an AI creation of Chihiro she now was originally a student. How did Chihiro know about her to make her into an AI? Eh don't sweat the details, Kodaka doesn't. And why did they bring her back? To bait and troll Chiaki fans basically, since despite being the center of the entire series (to the point where nobody else has any presence or backstory) she was only used for shock value with the torture scene. Oh and of course by her actually existing as a human that also opens up a number of plot holes for DR2 such as why none of them remember her existing when they gained their memories back.
There was countless smaller things like mishandling the twilight incident, Izuru meeting Nagito, Peko, Fuyuhiko and Akane being brainwashed by 1 death despite having seen countless ones over the years (hell Fuyuhiko barely showed any emotion when his sister was killed), the headass decision of everyone walking right into the trap while unarmed, without informing anyone and carrying an injured Nagito etc.

This will never be true. I have a love/hate relationship with V3 but it's a solid entry in the series unlike the
Yeah but the anime didn't make me never want to touch the series again so I gotta stand by what I said.
This a thousand times.
At least OP gets to see firsthand the divisiveness of the game. Very curious to see where they fall on the spectrum!
OP

Out of the VNs I recently bought. I think Umineko or AI would make a fun thread, maybe 428 too
The thing with the DR3 anime is that it's trash. But it's watchable trash... at least for the first half or so before the wheels completely fall off. And I do think it's worth watching for that early stretch especially because I remember it was fun to speculate about where things would lead.
That's kind of why I pitched the first 3 episodes (Future 1, Despair 1, Future 2) as a compromise teaser so you could get a taste of what's on offer for minimal commitment and then make up your own mind whether to continue ahead with it from there.

Oh... yeah...
You just made me realize that I somehow managed to surpress most of my memories regarding the Anime.
Man, I didn't remember it being that bad....
dont watch the anime, I skipped it and it didnt affect my enjoyment of V3, the best game in the series, one bit
OP
OP
Oh boy. Have fun seeing how they manage to escalate it from DR2's bonkers ending.
I liked the past arc for the DR3 anime, disliked the future one. Overall it's pretty skipable, the past arc just gives extra backstory for DR2 that you don't really need and I think DR2's ending is pretty good on its own.
The one thing you don't wanna experience is UDG. Legitimately one of the worst games I've ever finished, and I have a good deal of love for 1/2/V3.

I never finished Ultra Despair Girls. It seemed alright. Not awful not great. But I mean I never had motivation to finish it so that's telling in a way. But I wasn't hating what I did play generally. I just wasn't really caring for it either.

Fuck it, i'll watch the anime while I get this platinum
I was expecting their bodies to be much worse off. They look normal af
They changed way too many of the english VAs for me to watch it in eng
Time to retcon Chiaki into being based on a real person
I've seen bracelets similar to these somewhere...:P
Why am I not surprised the black guy died first
Let's make most people in the future arc super unlikable.
I didn't need to see teru attempt to assault someone who looks 8 with his boner
I must be the ultimate unlucky student to stumble into the mahiru bath scene while grinding in this game at the same time.
I dunno why the game or the anime never just called it the Ultimate Tragedy in an attempt to quell the melodramaticness of the full name.
in b4 girl in wheelchair gets up and walks as a big reveal
Someone really fucked up the writing for nagito. His actions make no sense in comparison to the games
I can definitely see why someone would kill fuyuhiko's little sister
Wheelchair girl was a plant?
Nekomura's design is so scuffed here
Neojunko is 2 small lines away from basically having swastikas in her eyes. And her getup too sheese, could not be more on the nose if you tried
kiritsugu's VA is cursed to play the tragic hero the rest of his life
I can already guess the reason why most hate this anime, they totally kill someone like kyoko don't they?
Kyoko is into licking dead bodies then eh?
They made Junko into a valley girl in the english version? How could someone tolerate listening to that for hours?
Neojunko really just Enel'd herself lmao.
Rip Kyoko, wasted on a limp dick ass of an antagonist. Whose about as interesting as a shonen villian during a filler arc
That's how Junko did it? Through brainwashing? That's incredibly lame, I was expecting something far more personal than that
There's some uncanny, fucked up timing here. Grinding away on chiaki's love route in game while she's being executed in the show.
sorry chiaki
...yall knew where the power was to shut off the bracelets and never once thought to turn it off?
Expecting Kyoko to be alive because there's no way she didn't notice medicine woman trying to slip the first dead dude a pill to save him
Oops, showing sakura tightening those bolts be hand is a plothole
It's a shame the series will never go into any of the politics regarding the school. Like the fact fuyuhiko and sonia are nothing more than recruitments used to gain favor with the yakuza and a country.
I thought you'd be on board with the weeb's plan, considering you were talking about wiping out despair
Anime destroyed the world? Miyazaki tried to warn yall
Yeap, there's the Kyoko revival.

It's weird... I consider the DR3 anime to be largely crap... but I liked Makoto a lot more coming out of it than I did going in. Even though he was largely useless in the Future arc and being carried everywhere.
I also liked Toko a lot more after the crappy Ultra Despair Girls spinoff. Ultimately felt like a waste that they tied it into the anime like they did and then blew it off after a single episode.

There's something funny about Makoto standing outside the room doing nothing in the final episode
I will say the show has the trashiest handling of death and torture i've ever seen in media. Clearly what I needed was constant crotch shots during those moments.
Well, now onto V3!
God I cant wait for OP's reaction to the end of chapter 1 of V3. I will be watching this thread closely.
OP's starting V3? Just finished the third trial in V3 and I've loved everything about it. Even the characters I kinda dislike are endearing in a weird way.
V3 is fantastic. One of is not the best game in the series. And by far my favourite conclusion to a Danganronpa game.
The cast is definitely my favorite and the cases are shaping up to be the best in the series if they keep up the momentum they've been going at
