Dangan Ronpa 2.5. It's an interquel between Dangan Ronpa 2 and Dangan Ronpa 3: Kibou-hen. *Premise: Nagito Komaeda's experiences in the Neo World Program after he dies. *Strengths: It's satisfying. Some characters really get to shine. Souda, Kuzuryuu, Peko, Sonia. It was also nice to see how Komaeda could interact with everybody else without his warped world view. Plausible way to exit the Neo World Program. *Weakness: Oh boy. I'm being so hard on this OVA because I love this franchise. 25 minutes. It takes 25 minutes for this to be resolved. And only a third of the cast gets used. DR2 and overall. I was hoping this wouldbe something that could strengthen the bonds of DR2 and DR3, considering it IS called 2.5. But alas, it is not. This falls into the same problem as DR3. I was hoping for it to be longer to allow everything to breathe, something along the lines of a full-length movie in this case. Maybe show a little about Komaeda's past. I saw the Budget constraints on the writing everywhere, especially in how the lines were distributed among the characters. And while the acknowledgements that Maizono and Kuwata do exist were nice. It felt empty.
