Review of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Future Arc

"You know y Danganronpa the Animation was not good? It did not transcend the troll levels. Let's troll the world." -Kodaka, 2016 The art of trolling or what I like to refer as shock factor and pretentioussness galore is a rather modern art that has become so mainstream that anyone will try to do it and the one who does it the best gets recognized, while the rest become casual fodder or the elephants in "The Room" (I question my life with every breath I take. Please do not mind my antarctic cold humour). If recent memory serves me well, Arrival did the biggest fu troll inthe 21st century since the final episode from Lost and Heroes Reborn. I mean shit hit the fan so fast the last few minutes that the whole experience turned from a decent sci fi to a pretentious one-time novelty. The worst of all was Knowing which trolled with you from the beginning in favor to babyfeed you preachy material. Well, Danganronpa 3 Future Arc is just average. It had a few trolls and the last episode made me feel the whole arc was pointless.

So what did this arc from the new season improve on? Well, the only department that it did improve on was sound. It was actually good. OP was decent and ED was great by TRUSTICK. OST was decent to good. It paid good hommage to the games.

The animation and art are slightly better but the monochromicity in this show is just baffling. It made everything look soulless. Otherwise, it was a zoozed-up edition of the original.

And now where the show caught horse shit. The story was a troll. It began promising you gore, mystery and lots of action. It gave that but as it went through you could feel the presence of the troll laughing at your ass for thinking it will end on a good note. Kodaka did his ass-pulling again and made every fan of the series scream with rage in the end, because let's face it...money makes the world go round. It is unfortunately true and Future Arc shows exactly that. Look where Michael Bay is at.

Characters are as unitneresting as looking at a white canvas, except the mains. Naegi is still the same Hope-filled twat as he was. Kirigiri is still best waifu and everyone's favorite low EQ girl and
Asahina is donut girl (insert Tenshi no Drop jokes). To be honest they tried to make us give a fuck but failed to a laughable level with a few characters.

Overall, I did not think this would suck more than the original but Kodaka and his masterful trolls managed to prove us wrong...again.

Overall: 5.50/10

Alternative Recommendation:

-Despair Arc: Actually, worth your time.
-Mirai Nikki: If you loved this series, you are going to love this trashy guilty pleasure of mine.
