Danganronpa: The Animation is a 2013 anime adaptation of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.Like the visual novel, the anime follows sixteen elite high school students trapped inside Hope's Peak Academy by their sadistic bear headmaster, Monokuma. The students cannot break any of the rules on pain of death, but there is one way to leave: murder another student and be found not guilty in the subsequent class trial. If the class deduces the real murderer, they will be put to death, but if the murderer is not caught, the class will be put to death and the murderer can leave.Unlike the rest of his classmates, Makoto Naegi is an Ordinary High-School Student randomly selected to join Hope's Peak as the "Ultimate Lucky Student". Makoto teams up with his classmate Kyoko Kirigiri, an aloof teenage detective, to solve the murders that occur and piece together the circumstances that led them to be trapped in Hope's Peak.An anime sequel to the first two games, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, aired in 2016 to wrap up the Hope's Peak arc. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Kiyotaka is the go-to guy who'd go topless (especially when a sauna is involved) and shows off his well-built muscles on the chest. Possibly even a case of Adaptation Expansion since in the VN he's only shown wearing nothing but a Modesty Towel in a one-off CG, whereas in the anime he seems to like walking around like this once his Ishida persona takes over. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The scene preceding Leon's execution is made much more gut-wrenching as Leon desperately tries to escape through the door while futilely pleading for his life, really driving the point home of how utterly terrified he is of death. The scene before Mondo's execution in which Kiyotaka breaks down in tears and begs Monokuma not to kill him was considered somewhat narmy in the game due to how over-the-top Taka's reactions are, but the anime's more realistic rendition is truly heartbreaking. By the end of the execution, he's reduced to a blubbering mess and is even leaning over a puddle of his own tears. It may seem like an odd thing to bother animating, but during the investigation montage in episode 1, Yasuhiro can be seen flipping through a magazine in the laundry room. In the game, it's possible to find him there mentioning he's about to start doing his laundry (also serving as an early look at the fashion magazine that gives away the Mastermind's identity). In episode 4, they give a shot of Chihiro working on something that anyone who played the game will recognize. How and when Chihiro had time for this was never explained in the game, and its existence was only foreshadowed in a Free-Time Event you may not see. The anime gives us a little more direct foreshadowing and explanation. In an act of foreshadowing, Chihiro is using his male-exclusive toolkit. In episode 6, the entire remaining cast gets to see the first suspicious class photo courtesy of Alter Ego, rather than Makoto simply stumbling upon it. In episode 10, the reason why the remaining students suggest that Makoto hold onto the survival knife found on the fifth floor is explained as Yasuhiro and Hina being untrustworthy after their actions in the fourth class trial. In the final episode, Makoto doesn't just spout out "You must not lose hope!" alone but goes on a whole Rousing Speech for each of the surviving students to keep their hope up, tailored to each specific student. In the manga adaptation for the anime, Junko briefly gloats about how since Kyoko's father hoped the school would protect her, Makoto can't count on her to vote for hope alongside him. While it seems as though hope is lost for a moment, Makoto manages to convince her. | |

Evolving Credits | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: The ending credits. The first episode has a blank screen, but the second episode features an empty classroom, with Naegi and the first dead characters. More characters are added as they die. Any trial/execution episodes would skip the opening and "Makoto plus dead students" ending scene, instead showing how the trial is about to begin, and the students' horrified reactions on the executions respectively. Episode 7 is the exception to this opening rule, as the episode begins not with the trial, but with the discovery of Yasuhiro in the Justice Robo outfit. As of Episode 10, the surviving students are also included. And in the final episode when the picture is back, the fake Junko has been replaced by Mukuro while the real Junko stands behind Makoto. Starting in episode 6, the opening credits add Toko switching into her Genocider Sho personality. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: While Byakuya's still a huge Jerkass, at least he doesn't openly and contemptuously talk about his plans to eventually be the successful blackened. He also has more pragmatic reasons for tampering with the crime scene of Chihiro's murder, stating it to be a test of his classmates' abilities and a way to throw the real killer off guard, whereas in the game he did it partly for his own twisted amusement and partly to find out which of his classmates would be the biggest threat to him when he decides to become the blackened. In the game, Celeste proudly declares that she has a Lack of Empathy when asked how she could murder Hifumi and, by proxy, Kiyotaka, in such a cold-blooded fashion. This is omitted from the anime, and while her selfish motive remains unchanged and she thus remains the least sympathetic culprit by far assuming that motive wasn't another one of her lies, it does make her a bit more human. | |

Clueless Mystery | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_4cf9fe88 | comment |
Clueless Mystery: Each chapter in the animation rushes through the investigation phase, so that many of the clues and witness accounts which were originally detailed in the investigation phase are instead only revealed or properly explained in the middle of the class trials. This means you are always one step behind the characters in terms of what they know, and can't really solve the mystery as you go along unless you've beaten the visual novel already. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the game, Chihiro brings up the possibility that the infamous Genocider Sho has locked them up, and Toko wears a worried look on her face with some Visible Silence, before freaking out when Aoi says that the police will surely arrive to help them (as if to imply she's afraid of getting caught for her crimes). Here, the discussion never turns to Genocider Sho at all and Toko freaks out over nothing when Aoi says the same (the dub got around this by changing the context to have Toko agree that the police arriving would be a good thing... which is a whole other can of worms). | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The introductions for all of the other students are toned down to a few sentences, whereas in the game they received several short paragraphs. The pacing of the story moves much more quickly. How much more quickly? The game averages 25-36 hours of content to the anime's 5-6 hours, and it only speeds up following Sakura's death in Episode 9: in the game, this is marked as the halfway point. The origin of the golden sword in Makoto's room is changed from he and Sayaka taking it from the gym for defense to one of Monokuma's "housewarming gifts" meant to murder other students with. Byakuya's knowledge of the Genocider Sho cases comes from prior knowledge from the Togami residence instead of being the only one to read about them in the library. The quick visit to the locker room, in which Kyoko shows the other students Chihiro's corpse to prove that Chihiro is a boy, is cut out entirely. In the game, Taka goes to Makoto's room and asks him to take him to Alter Ego, leading to his becoming "Kiyondo" and Makoto being scolded by Kyoko. In the anime, he's present for the first encounter with Alter Ego. The anime in general is heavily truncated, which is an often-cited criticism. How truncated? The end of Sakura's trial is explicitly marked in the game as the halfway point. It happens in episode 9 in the anime. Curiously, this ends up helping the anime's adaptation of Chapter 3. In the game, it is pretty easy to deduce that Celeste is the killer, due to a) the numerous amount of times you run into her before discovering the bodies, and b) her suspicious eagerness to pin the blame on Yasuhiro and refute alternate theories of the crime. The anime, however, zooms by the case quickly enough that both of these indicators are much less pronounced. Only her Freudian Slip remains as an indicator of her guilt. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Many of the characters' backstories are condensed or left out in order to accommodate for the show's length. Significant details on the setting are also left out. For instance, the anime completely skips over the revelation of how one room in the library is filled with top-secret documents, files, and records from all over the world, and chooses to focus solely on how it has important files on Genocider Sho. In episode 5 the trial skips important details about the victim's identity as a whole (in the game we find out about Chihiro's "secret" when Sakura inspects the body in front of everyone, but in the anime, Kyoko finds out off-screen and then explains it in the trial). However, Genocider Sho's very dramatic trial appearance and a certain character's reactions to the trial's results and the execution that follow are expanded. Episode 7 skips a lot of several important details (such as Hifumi's tendency on calling people in last name-first name order, which reveals Celeste being the mastermind behind that trial). However, some of the cut off parts might end up for a better light on Celeste. In the anime, her statement that she has a Lack of Empathy and has no problems in manipulating and disposing others for her own gain was removed, removing some of her unsympathetic points, and on the other hand, only Makoto was shown noticing her bluff instead of him and Byakuya, making her scheme less blunder-filled. On the other hand, however, Makoto's monologue about how Celeste was faking her smile to hide her fear of death was also removed. | |

Adaptational Intelligence | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_72455542 | comment |
Adaptational Intelligence: A lot of the observations and points that were up to the player to point out in the original game are things that some of the other characters figure out on their own in the animation. Also, Chihiro did a lot more work trying to figure out the "11037" clue from a number code angle, running it through every decryption method he knew even before the trial trying to make sense of it, rather than merely apologizing and saying he didn't know when asked. In the final class trial, only Hagakure leaps to the conclusion that a class photo he was given featuring everyone except him means that this entire ordeal is a grand conspiracy against him that everyone (including all the people who died) was in on. Nobody else thinks that way, with Byakuya having outright guessed right away that it was what the Mastermind wanted them all to believe and thus not falling for it. In the game, however, everyone except for Makoto and Kyoko, including Byakuya, came to this same absurd conclusion until all of their photos were shared. | |

Adaptational Jerkass | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: The generally-honorable Kyoko in a single act from episode 11. In the game's fifth trial, suspicion jumps between Makoto and Kyoko several times before settling on the planted locker key. Based on a later line to Byakuya, she probably wanted to prove that the trial was a trap by showing that none of the students could have done it, except she miscalculated the mastermind executing someone else in desperation. When time runs out with all the suspicion on Makoto, she first argues at Monokuma for inventing a rule and then looks thoroughly disgusted with herself, calling her own actions unforgivable and trying to tell Makoto she's sorry and that she'll avenge him in what look like the last moments of his life. In the animation, however, no suspicion ever falls on Makoto (since the trial gets condensed to roughly 10 minutes) and he later moves the discussion towards the whole trial seeming questionable without the provocation of trying to defend himself like in the game. When time runs out in this version of the trial, she tells a bold-faced lie about him planting the locker key in her room — which was originally an explanation brought up by Byakuya in the absence of a suspect — after he just defended her when she was backed furthest into the corner. We never see her show the same intense regret over her sending him to his death, and her lengthy apology in the trash dump was also cut very short. While removing the player choice was necessary, this set-up ends up making her look a lot more petty and cold-hearted. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: The dub changes Makoto's "sore wa chigau yo" from a proper catch phrase to a more context-sensitive rebuttal, i.e. "I can prove you wrong," "that's where you’re wrong," "no, that wasn't the weapon", and "it's close but not quite" (etc.) There was a point the script-writers contextually could have mimicked NISA's official translation to "No, that's wrong," but Lip Lock presumably forced them to change it to "No, that’s incorrect!" | |

| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
In episode 5 the trial skips important details about the victim's identity as a whole (in the game we find out about Chihiro's "secret" when Sakura inspects the body in front of everyone, but in the anime, Kyoko finds out off-screen and then explains it in the trial). However, Genocider Sho's very dramatic trial appearance and a certain character's reactions to the trial's results and the execution that follow are expanded. | |

Last-Name Basis: The dub takes this convention even further than any other translation, with Toko calling Byakuya by his last name instead of "Byakuya-sama/Master Byakuya," Aoi occasionally switching to "Ohgami" (h-sound emphasized) and Makoto's own mother dropping "Makoto-kun" for the usual Naegi as if it were his first name. In early episodes of the original Japanese, Aoi called Sakura "Ogami-san," before switching to her first name. | |

In the final class trial, only Hagakure leaps to the conclusion that a class photo he was given featuring everyone except him means that this entire ordeal is a grand conspiracy against him that everyone (including all the people who died) was in on. Nobody else thinks that way, with Byakuya having outright guessed right away that it was what the Mastermind wanted them all to believe and thus not falling for it. In the game, however, everyone except for Makoto and Kyoko, including Byakuya, came to this same absurd conclusion until all of their photos were shared. | |

The scene before Mondo's execution in which Kiyotaka breaks down in tears and begs Monokuma not to kill him was considered somewhat narmy in the game due to how over-the-top Taka's reactions are, but the anime's more realistic rendition is truly heartbreaking. By the end of the execution, he's reduced to a blubbering mess and is even leaning over a puddle of his own tears. | |

Freudian Slip | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_e8ca5cb3 | comment |
Curiously, this ends up helping the anime's adaptation of Chapter 3. In the game, it is pretty easy to deduce that Celeste is the killer, due to a) the numerous amount of times you run into her before discovering the bodies, and b) her suspicious eagerness to pin the blame on Yasuhiro and refute alternate theories of the crime. The anime, however, zooms by the case quickly enough that both of these indicators are much less pronounced. Only her Freudian Slip remains as an indicator of her guilt. | |

Jerkass | |
| Danganronpa: The Animation / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
While Byakuya's still a huge Jerkass, at least he doesn't openly and contemptuously talk about his plans to eventually be the successful blackened. He also has more pragmatic reasons for tampering with the crime scene of Chihiro's murder, stating it to be a test of his classmates' abilities and a way to throw the real killer off guard, whereas in the game he did it partly for his own twisted amusement and partly to find out which of his classmates would be the biggest threat to him when he decides to become the blackened. | |

Adaptational Context Change: Kiyotaka does the "forget-it beam" in both the game and the anime. The game has him doing it when Makoto talks to him during the Chapter 1 investigation, when he almost reveals that the nameplates were switched before realizing Makoto could be the killer. In the anime, on the other hand, he does it the morning after his sauna duel with Mondo while asking Makoto to forget about who won. | |
