![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the area the characters inhabit while standing in a bunch of dark, empty rooms and hallways may be the main culprit of the horrible visual design. A show so inundated with lifeless scenes of characters standing around talking is bound to be much more interesting with this lovely palette applied. The color design is truly abysmal, with the dominant colors being black, gray, brown, and a disgusting shade of red that pervades through certain parts. Let’s begin with talking about the thing that immediately struck me as terrible - the presentation. I'm going to get to the bottom of the mystery within a mystery: what happened to Danganronpa? However, if it were that simple, I wouldn't be writing this review. ![]() It's boring, spins its wheels, has lame characters, and is ridiculously stupid. ![]() How this has little in the way of negative reviews at the time of this writing and even held an average score above an 8 on MAL (which is what some of my favorites don't even get) for a long period of time makes no sense to me.Īnd yeah, this show falls into every possible trap regarding bad mystery stories. ![]() It so woefully falls flat in every area that it makes the entire series look like a joke, and if this is how the series is going to end, then I am painfully let down. Suffice to say, despite its best efforts, Danganronpa 3 Future Arc fails to impress. Gone are the days of attempting to cram 30+ hours of content into 13 regular-sized episodes. It was touted as a completely original project designed to end the story of the first two games, meaning they had significantly more creative freedom to work with. However, after some time passed, Danganronpa 3 was announced. Plot holes arising from removed dialogue, one-note characters who die without garnering any sympathy and poor characterization for the ones that remain alive, mind-boggling pacing, and it just felt like sitting around waiting for interesting things to happen only to realize that they never will. It's when the adaptation of the first Danganronpa game came out that the problems with the story and characters were enhanced twofold and made incredibly apparent. I don't think the games are anything special, but they are competent enough to have some fun with. Basically, the mystery shows I do like have elements that appeal to me other than the feeling of "Oooh, what's gonna happen? Maybe something interesting in the future!" Historically, Danganronpa is a series that tries not to fall into this trap by having a wide array of characters, cool settings, and exciting court cases. It's a flawed, finicky genre to me because whenever I come across a mystery with decent/good characters, the mysteries always end up lackluster, and vice versa. Even the ones that don't struggle to make thoroughly enticing mystery-based stories because they usually won't leave much of an impression unless they blow your fucking mind to smithereens. I have never been the biggest fan of mysteries in general because the mystery alone usually isn't enough to create an engaging narrative, and I feel this is how most genre contemporaries present themselves. Perspective to create a quality story and to not become another entry into the dreaded "mystery box" genre. If a mystery is a typical "whodunnit" (as DR3 is), it sometimes relies a bit too much on the inevitable twist of the reveal of the culprit. (For reference, I would probably give the games about a 6/10) THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THIS SERIES AND MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE GAMES.
