Plot[edit]

The series serves as a conclusion to the storyline of Hope's Peak Academy, the elite school where the Super High School Level Despair, Junko Enoshima, played hostess to a 'killing school life' among its students under the guise of the evil bear Monokuma. The story is split up into two chapters: Future Chapter and Despair Chapter.

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High School Danganronpa returns with two brand new arcs! Despair Arc takes place before season one of the anime with Hajime Hinata in a tale of despair. Uta no Prince Sama 3 Genre: Comedy, Harem, Music, Romance, School, Shoujo Story: The third anime adaptation of the otome game Uta no☆Prince-sama♪.

Future Chapter takes place after the events of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Makoto Naegi, the Super High School-Level Hope who defeated the Super High School-Level Despair, Junko Enoshima, is under suspicion of treason against the Future Foundation for harboring the Remnants of Despair who carried on her will. As top members of the Future Foundation, including Makoto's former classmates Kyoko Kirigiri, Aoi Asahina, and Yasuhiro Hagakure, are brought together to decide on Makoto's punishment, they are all imprisoned by Monokuma, the bear avatar of Junko who was thought to have been dead. Monokuma forces everyone to participate in a final killing game, in which they must try to determine a traitor amongst their ranks who will kill them in their sleep, while also trying to avoid being poisoned to death by personalised forbidden actions. Thrust into a game where no one can trust each other, Makoto's ideals of hope are pushed to their very limits.^[4][5]

Despair Chapter takes place prior to the events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Chisa Yukizome begins her job as homeroom teacher for Hope's Peak Academy's 77th Class of Super High School Level students. Meanwhile, Hajime Hinata, a student of the school's Reserve Course for students without talent, prepares to undergo an experiment to make him the Super High School-Level Hope. What follows is a series of tragic events which lead to the birth of the Remnants of Despair and the realisation of 'The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History.' (A.K.A. The Tragedy) ^[4][5][6][7]

Anime[edit]

Danganronpa 3 is animated by the anime studio Lerche.^[8] It is supervised by series creator Kazutaka Kodaka,^[5][8] who also is in charge of the original scenario concepts. It is directed by Seiji Kishi, written by Norimitsu Kaihō, composed by Masafumi Takada, and features character designs by Kazuaki Morita and Ryoko Amisaki. Returning characters are designed by Rui Komatsuzaki.^[8] The series was announced at a Danganronpa press conference in December 2015.^[5] It is divided into two parts: Future Side, which aired between July 11, 2016 and September 26, 2016, and Despair Side, which aired between July 14, 2016 and September 22, 2016 on Tokyo MX and BS11.^[9][10] Both parts were simulcast in North America, the United Kingdom, and Ireland by Funimation, who also began streaming English dubbed versions from August 10, 2016.^[11][12] The final episode, Side: Hope, aired on September 29, 2016.^[13] For Future Side, the opening theme is 'Dead or Lie' by Maon Kurosaki and Trustrick,^[14] while the ending theme is 'Recall the End' by Trustrick.^[15] For Despair Side, the opening theme is 'Kami-iro Awase' (カミイロアワセ, lit.'Matching the Color of God') by Binaria,^[16] while the ending theme is 'Zettai Kibō Birthday' (絶対希望バースデー, lit.

An original video animation episode, titled Super Danganronpa 2.5: Komaeda Nagito to Sekai no Hakaisha, was released with special editions of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony in Japan on January 12, 2017.^[17]

The series was intended to be the final chapter of the 'Hope's Peak Academy' series within the Danganronpa franchise,^[5] with the third main video game, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, focuses on a new setting and group of characters;^[6][18] the Danganronpa development staff have stated that, while difficult to work on both titles simultaneously, they are giving it their all since the opportunity to do something like it does not come up often.^[4] Initially, an anime adaptation of Danganronpa 2 had been planned, but in the end the development staff opted for making an anime that takes place after Danganronpa 2 instead,^[4] as Kodaka felt that the Danganronpa 2 characters' story had ended within that game and that he could not write another about what happened to them afterward very easily.^[19] While class trials had originally been considered, it was thought that it would have been too painful for the characters to sit though another one, which was what led to the decision to make the conclusion into an anime.^[4] According to Kodaka, the series will feature content that can only be expressed within the animated medium.^[5] The production staff aimed to make the series suspenseful, despite not including any investigations.^[4]

[WT!] Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School

MAL (3 Links) | Crunchyroll | Funimation

Danganronpa is a series that begins with two games and culminates in an anime. It is mostly in the action and horror genre, with many slice of life elements added into the mix. It is about a group of students who are the best in the world at their unique talents, but who are forced to kill each other in order to survive. It is a masterpiece of writing with the characters, scenarios, and overall plot structure tying together perfectly into the most wonderful and tightly plotted series I have ever seen. The reason you do not see it talked about more often is because it is difficult to recommend a show that requires playing two games to understand, but it is well worth the time.

Danganronpa 3 is the best show I have ever seen in my life, without a question. In this essay, I want to encourage people to give this show the shot it deserves. This essay is not meant as an honest critique of the show, but rather a series of very excited rants explaining why I love it as much as I do. That being said, it is legitimately one of the best made and tightly written shows I have ever had the joy of experiencing.

Having said that, there are two questions I would expect to hear from anyone unfamiliar with the series: Why are you recommending Danganronpa 3 when no one has written a WT! for Danganronpa 1? And why have I never heard anyone else recommending this show? Both of these have the same answer, believe it or not. The answer is simply that Danganronpa 3 is the only anime in this series, for the most part. Danganronpa 1 and 2 are both video games in a visual novel format, and while Danganronpa 1 does have an anime adaptation, it is generally recommended to experience it in game format for greatest effect.

Unfortunately for anime-only viewers of content, these games are required material for understanding the anime; hence, the show is not as popular as it deserves to be. So before I can fully recommend the show, I need to talk about the games.

If you are a diehard anime-only viewer, I’m sorry to say that the recommendation likely ends here for you. However, if you are anything less than vehemently opposed to playing video games, I believe these games are more than worth your time in preparation for the show.

The games are mostly in visual novel format, so even if you typically only watch shows and don’t play games, these particular selections play more like an anime that requires you to press X on your controller (or click your mouse, depending on your platform of choice). I will go into a little bit more detail on each game, but as this is a WT! for the show, I will keep it as short as possible while still selling the series as a whole.

Danganronpa 1 has you in the shoes of Makoto Naegi as he enters Hope’s Peak Academy, a high school for the best of the best. Hope’s Peak scouts each of its students and only accepts people who are the best at what they do.

However, Makoto won a random lottery to get into the school, labeling him as the Ultimate Lucky student, both putting him at a talent disadvantage compared to the other students and also keeping him relatable to the audience. When he arrives at the school, he blacks out. When he awakens, he is trapped with the other members of his class with no way of escaping the school.

They are told by a mysterious figure named Monokuma that in order to leave the school, someone must kill another student. Everyone will then hold a class trial and attempt to determine who the murderer was.

If the correct student is selected by majority vote, that student will be executed and everyone else continues the game. If the majority picks incorrectly, everyone but the murderer will be executed, and the murderer may “graduate” the school and leave.

Danganronpa 2 has you playing as Hajime Hinata in the same universe, but with a mostly different cast. The situation is identical to the previous one, but this time, instead of being trapped in Hope’s Peak Academy, the cast are all students of the school on a desert island field trip and subsequently get trapped there.

The games are a ton of fun regardless of your experience playing video games. To be frank, they feel more like anime than games at times, which is why I am comfortable recommending a show with required prep work.

Danganronpa 3 Hope Arc Dub

Each game includes two main segments of gameplay. The first is a social simulator-type situation, where you have certain scripted events and then you are free to talk to whichever characters most interest you in order to learn more about them. In the second, you go through the class trial and work with the evidence you find at each crime scene in order to identify the killer.

Don’t worry if murder mystery or detective games aren’t your thing—that is not the focus of these games. It’s not like Phoenix Wright, where you have to figure out most of it on your own; the game wants you to learn the truth. It truly is a visual novel first and foremost, and the story being told will always take precedence over the gameplay itself.

There is another game called Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls that can be played after playing the first two games. Contrary to the other games, it is not a visual novel, but a rail shooter. Also contrary to the other two games, I don’t think this one is 100 percent mandatory. There is one episode of the show that will be very confusing if you haven’t played the game, so I would recommend at least looking up a summary. But besides that episode, there is almost nothing in the show that relies on the information presented in that game.

If you really enjoy rail shooters or just fell in love with the series as I did, Ultra Despair Girls is still worth picking up—though I do feel it is the weak point of the series.

Each of the games can be played on Steam, PS4, and PS Vita.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about the most important thing: the anime. Danganronpa 3 is split into two arcs. There is Future Arc, set after the events of both games and starring the surviving cast of the first game, and the Despair Arc, set before the events of both games and starring the cast of the second game.

The watch order on Crunchyroll is the correct one: You must watch Future 1, Despair 1, Future 2, Despair 2, etc. If you try to watch all of one arc and then all of the other, you will be confused and the show will spoil itself. With this watch order, the show flows perfectly into itself both thematically and in terms of plot reveals.

The show has 24 episodes, and instead of having a Despair 12 episode, the final episode is called Hope, meant to bring the whole series together. This style of writing is very unconventional and takes mastery to pull of correctly, but I can say with confidence that it does so with grace. This leads us into my next point.

This series is the most tightly plotted series I have ever seen in my life. Enormous, dramatic plot twists will occur, and for many of them, I thought initially that they had come out of nowhere. But this show has no time for deus ex machina reveals, as even the tiniest details come together to create fascinating and intricate plot lines.

Moments of minor exposition in the first game come together to create dramatic and interesting reveals in the anime. Things you thought weren’t important enough to remember jump back to the forefront of your mind as you realize that the writers put all of the details in front of you hours ago—and you didn’t realize until they were already delivered upon.

In addition to this, the writers understand how to bend reality enough to keep the world fun and unique, while still keeping it all realistic enough to break your heart when they want to. The show will make you laugh, cry, and scream your lungs out—sometimes within the span of one episode.

There is a peculiar feeling when you are playing a social simulator and begin to really love a character you’re getting to know, and then, suddenly, you walk into a room to find them crucified on the wall. And this kind of disturbing content deserves a section of its own.

I often hear people talking about how horror anime doesn’t work. I can understand where this thinking originates. When your recent horror anime occasionally bears too much of a resemblance to your recent meme anime, what is scary and what is silly can get a little foggy.

Let me reassure you, this show and its associated games are truly dread inducing. There are no jump scares; this series has no intention of simply startling you. It will instill a sense of love and hope that everything is OK and that things might finally work out, and then tear it all away from you with terrifying scenes of violence.

This horror is of the psychological variety, where you always fear for your favorite characters’ lives. The show especially delivers on this fear, thanks, of course, to it being fully animated as opposed to the visual novel format of the games.

There are scenes in the show that left me unable to speak because of how much they disturbed me. While part of me wanted to look away, another part of me was always in awe of how perfectly they shattered both my expectations and my mental state.

All right weebs, it’s time I address the question that’s on everyone’s mind: How are the waifus and husbandos of this show? The answer is simply top tier, and there is something for everyone’s interests. You like punk? Takeyourpick. You want conventionally pretty people? Wehaveplenty. Sporty guysandgirls? Loli guysandgirls? Cool? Awkward? Rippedasfuck? Idols? Nerdy?

All of these pictures were from the games—to avoid spoiling who survives and who doesn’t—but most characters are shown in some form or another in the show as well, given half of the show is set before the games. There is truly someone for everyone’s interests.

Not only that, but every single character is interesting and fully fleshed out. There aren’t many filler characters in this series. Any given character could have been the main character of their own series, and in certain moments, almost all of them will feel like main characters.

There is no doubt in my mind that anyone who watches this series will fall in love with at least one character and identify with many more. They are each examples of how amazing the writing is, both individually and how they function as a group.

There is so much more I want to say about this show, but cannot without spoiling it. In truth, the hardest part of experiencing this series is getting through it without encountering any spoilers, as there are many and the internet is a dangerous place.

I would love to tell you which moment made me realize it was my favorite series, or who my favorite character is and why, or what moments made me cry and which ones brought my heart back from the brink of despair, but all of that would ruin the point of letting you all experience it for yourself.

I know for many the idea of having to play 2 or possibly 3 games before watching a show seems like too much, but the games are worthwhile on their own, and the show is there to take everything you will already love a step further. My hope in writing this is that someone may look at my excitement and passion toward this series and give it a shot because it is able to draw this much love out of another person.
