Hello! How are you?I have a question actually (obviously): Assuming I wanted to get into danganronpa… where would I need to start? I’ve heard about games and showd and anime and whatnot. I’ve tried starting the anime at one point, but found it kinda… confusing? Overwhelming?I’d very much appreciate it if you could give me some pointers 😅💜
The anime is unfortunately literally the worst place to start. Its SUCH a bad adaptation! I saw the anime first and hated the whole series for years until our partner sat down with the actual game.
You want to start with Danganronpa 1 (also called Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc). Its a visual novel and a mystery story so you can either play it yourself, or just look up a playthrough on youtube by your favorite commentary or no-commentary lets player.
The Game Grumps played it, if that’s something you’re interested in, but it’s actually a very moody and dark game so I reccomend a no-commentary playthorugh or a more low key/serious commentary for the first time you enjoy it.
There are also different social paths where you can interact more heavily with different characters, so if determining which of those relationships you see is important to you, I reccomend playing through it yourself for the first time.
The video game is way less overwhelming than the anime, because the anime tries to pack in like 500,000 words of mystery story into 12 episodes. The pacing is super terrible.
The pacing of the actual games is much slower and easier to manage. I think you’ll like it!
