#DANGANRONPA ANIME PLOT TRIAL#
The trial and justice system is an interesting notion to toy with for an anime, but the odd choice of punishments in Danganronpa is my biggest gripe about the series.
#DANGANRONPA ANIME PLOT SERIES#
For example, the deaths of the characters are “extreme” as the small bear explains, and more often than not are graphically violent if someone else is caught (so yes, mainly the characters who commit murder themselves) but regardless can go too far – most noticeably at the end of the series when a main character’s involvement is determined. While I do enjoy the mystery and survival aspect of the series, there are a few attributes to the series that don’t exactly sit well with me. Along with the murderers within their ranks, the principal makes an additional villain that you continuously hope to see meet their very own demise (but I won’t spoil that end result). The murder mystery aspect of Danganronpa is a great concept for an anime series (it’s a void that needs to be filled) and although the results aren’t always what I’d hoped, I applaud the commitment to an ongoing whodunit plot. Unlike many horror survival series, the deaths pile up with every episode and the 14 characters are soon all in jeopardy whether or not they are responsible for the deaths of others. The trail is yet another form of manipulation that turns them against each other more frequently, and potentially increases the attempted murders for the wicked principal’s plans. After some time has passed and the trial commences, the crude bear will reveal the outcome – and if the jury selects correctly, the killer will not be allowed to graduate (which is their only way to escape.) If the jury is incorrect, there will still be a punishment of death to a random member. I enjoyed the initial mysterious plot – and the characters attempts to initially band together, but you know that this will soon fall apart once someone succumbs to the malevolent setup.Īs the murders slowly (but surely) begin, they take a nod from parliament with a trial, requiring the murders to get away with the crime in an allotted time. Unfortunately for them, they cannot leave the school (as in ever) unless murdering a fellow student, setting it up to see most of them die before the 12 episode anime concludes. When the quirky school’s principal (a half friendly/half evil teddy bear) is introduced, he explains the high stakes program they’ve entered.
None of the others seem to know why they are there, or quite what occurred – but the primary focus is to introduce varied characters with polarizing traits to give at least everyone a character they could potentially root for.
#DANGANRONPA ANIME PLOT FULL#
The series hones in on Makoto Naegi, a seemingly normal young man thrown into the chaos of equally disturbed students hoping to murder each other to attain freedom in a twisted hunger games style plot. The series begins to toss you into this oddly constructed ongoing anime that is full of twists, turns, and some unexpectedly peculiar choices…įrom the moment he steps foot on campus, Naegi is thrust into the school that thrives on “despair” waking up in a mysterious room, before finding how was to a room full of countless students. The schools requirements suggest that if they want to achieve “academic” success, murder will be something needed to intertwine into their busy schedules. The school is very particular in who can join the ranks of its prestigious students - but not for what you’d expect.
The story takes place in the twisted high school known as Hope’s Peak High. The anime and video game series Danganronpa is very different from many current anime series and has achieved cumulatively positive reactions from anime fans of many genres for its – unique story to say the least.
