so... where is private activities? As a fan of based game, I'm really disappointed Anime doesn't takes of that.
I'm gonna rate this one before the final episode airs next week: This show is really bad and I have no idea why I stuck with it...
The first episode was allright and there seemed to be plenty of people who played the games so it had to have something good. It only got worse. The first apparent flaw is the art and animation: Apart from Monobear the designs are ugly and it looks cheap. It also takes many of the game elements straight into the anime (and these look even worse). The characters are flat since this is basicly a "let's play" with scenes cut out, there are 15 students afterall. There are also no attempts of presenting realistic behaviour among the students. Doesn't matter if they're psychopaths or not they just get along. The classroom trials where they have to deceide on a curlpit after a murder are basicly a twist party. Since you're not playing you get the clues presented which often feels like an asspull (and there are many of those). This weeks episode aswell as the previous one were not even trying anymore. They expect you to accept even more bullshit than the recent Sword Art Online. It's not worth anyones time. If you're remotely interested either check out a playthrough on YouTube or play one of the games but I can't tell you if they're any better.
Whoever chose this cover picture should change it. I mean it. Contain one spoiler character there. :I

Not a bad little tribute to the original game, but PLEASE do yourself a favour and play the game first. When cramming a 20-30 hour game into a 4-5 hour show, there's bound to be some rushed pacing and a ton of cut content. Big twists and revelations become side notes as the discovery and analysis of evidence is replaced with them pulling evidence out of their ass, so the joy that comes from putting all of the puzzle pieces together is almost entirely gone. The free time spent hanging out with and getting to know the characters is also lost, so the deaths of characters are much less meaningful. Most of the key story beats are hit successfully, and the animation quality is fantastic and more than does the game's stylish aesthetic justice, but with so much of it's guts removed, the primary narrative will likely fail to captivate newcomers to the Danganronpa franchise. A recommended watch, but ONLY if you've played and beaten the original game first. If you don't have a Vita or PSP, the game was ported to PC and released on Steam just days before this post, so it is now easily and readily available.
