Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei - The Animation
Synopsis
A group of 15 elite high school students are gathered at a very special, high class high school. To graduate from this high school essentially means you'll succeed in life, but graduating is very difficult. The school is presided over by a bear called Monokuma, and he explains to them that their graduation hinges around committing a murder. The only way to graduate is to kill one of your classmates and get away with it. If the other classmates discover the identity of the killer, the killer is the only one executed. However, if they fail to catch the killer, only the killer graduates and the others are annihilated. Which of the 15 will survive the bloodbath to come? (MAL)
From the makers of 999 and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Just finished watching first episode.That was fine introdution
Spoiler:
If they really had to kill each others to escape from that school then i would bet on the fatty otaku first.And who else here also getting a trap vibe from the hacker girl?
even though i never played the game but i did know that Monobear from some other series(if i wasn't mistaken though) and heard it's quite a twisted series too.
never thought that i'll heard Doraemon's voice coming out from that Monobear's mouth though.
After reading the description, it has my attention so I'll watch.
EDIT
Episode 1:
Spoiler:
The premise of this game still has my attention. Everyone's motivation and method to murder and escape will be interesting to watch. The male lead's motivation looks a little weak though.
Pretty good episode, it felt a bit too fast paced but I suppose they want to get to the good stuff soon lol
I'll definitely be following this, it's one of the few series I'm watching this season.
Also, some news related to the game, if no one knew them before:

They have to raise the pace, I can't imagine the whole 13 episode anime wasted their time on the walks and free time too much.

I know, I know, that's to be expected, just sayin'
Here's to see how does the story unfold in 13 episodes.
Having seen some random pictures on Gel/Danbooru, I can make a few guesses on who'll bite the dust (some pretty obvious, I'd say).
Spoiler:
-Twinbraids Bookworm and Maizono (the middle-school friend). They both display telltale signs of fragile psyches. Knife-wielding maniacs for sure.
-Fat Otaku nerd mouseface and MADAME MEGA MUSCLE Sakura. Those types never, ever live.
-Mister Goody Two-Shoes Prefect. He'll probably clock out midseason.
-Goth Chick. Because my favourites never live, either.
-Snooty Blonde Model. Anyone who has watched any horror anything will know that those always go. Often in the most gruesome fashion.
-The Punk. Abrasive initially. Will turnaround and sacrifice himself.
-Urchin-for-a-head. The cool and chillax dude. Helps the others stay cool because he is cool. That won't last long.
-Kyouko is gonna live. No fucking duh.
As cookie-cutter as everything is, I love the cast. Loud and outrageous designs makes them immediately memorable. Here's to hoping for some good mystery and some action as over-the-top as the characters.
Oh God. I loved this game. There was a guy who posted a "Let's Play" version of it awhile ago that was fully translated and was very entertaining to watch. I can't wait to see how the anime's going to make it look. For those of you who are interested, here's a link contained in the Spoiler's box, because well, it contains spoilers in the thread.
Just 1 day after i finish the game , the anime comes up. lol
Guess im pretty lucky since found out about the game just 2 days after the english patch came out.
Episode 1 was really fast paced.
Welp, Maizono died quicker than I expected. I wonder who killed her? I kind of thought she may have killed herself for some reason. Guess we'll find out next episode. Also, the blonde girl got skewered pretty quickly. Probably wasn't a good idea to fuck with Monokuma. The purple blood was interesting too. I wonder how brutal things will get.
