those freckles too strong hhngg
So I finally got to play the game. I went in knowing everything that happened thanks to the anime but I still enjoyed it a ton. Definitely a lot more satisfying doing everything yourself and actually pointing out the contradictions. Had to borrow my brother's vita to play it but because I'm so hyped for the sequel I'm 1000% sure im going to buy one before the second comes out. Will probably get one of the slim vitas when it comes out.
Also the ending with Makoto being the Ultimate Hope and shooting hope at people cements him as my favorite character.

I had only seen a few linked elsewhere and in this thread. I'm too scared to search for them on my own.

There are three volumes currently out for them.
Here's what is it called in Japanese: ダンガンロンパ希望の学園と絶望の高校生4コマKINGS
Not only that, she likes rations, futuristic guns, the FPS videogame and IIRC swords, maybe even the armor, but i didn't try that.
If you go on the store she likes to talk about armors and weapons, on the recreation room she wants an FPS and so on
Ahh man really? haha
I think I just kept going to the dining room because it was the only way they had in the guide to get the link up the fastest.
awww yiss
You just made my day
Its been killing me that I can't go out and search for DR stuff because of potential spoilers.
So thank you for linking these to us, and thanks to whoever made these

Oh man the ep 4 opening for the anime is godlike.
He has people for that.

I'm more surprised he knows what coins are for.
I was unaware there was a currency less than $100 bills.
"What do you mean, this doesn't accept jewels or solid gold ingots? What fresh hell is this?"

In the opening of the game there's that punishment scene with the rocket. I haven't had the chance to re-watch it again (working on school mode ATM), but was that the headmaster in that scene?
I was thinking that only because there were bones left over afterwards and there was that box in the headmaster's secret room with the bones in it.

Yep! Now it's even more depressing when you think about it.
Chihiro is way too cute in this
These 4komas are seriously great! I'd love it if a North American manga publisher brought them over officially.

Best cover
Has there even been a mention yet of what the extra footage in the last episode is?
Its not terrible. The pacing is just way too fast.

It's Danganronpa Abridged!
... Wait wouldn't that make DRAT Danganronpa Abridged ABRIDGED?

It's basically a cliff notes version of the show dropping most of the characterization and investigations from the game.
It's serviceable at the very least.
The budget does basically go to Monokuma, Junko's boobs and Ishimaru's manliness.
So you know the most important things of the game.
I saw it and imo it makes all in a hurry, it needed more episodes.
It completely skips many small or big particulars present in the game and Makoto is less important in trials compared to Byakuya and Kyoko, but if you already played the game you can try to look at it.
I noticed it's only 13 episodes long, which I think probably didn't help. From what I understand, it pretty much just glances over the whole investigation part. Probably would have helped if it was 24-26 episodes in order to feel as though it could "fit" everything in.

I just ordered my copy last night! I'm pretty stoked!!
I watched the first episode and while they managed to be faithful to the game in many scenes, they did condense a few things near the end of it already. I'm gonna watch the rest just because one thing it has is they can actually show everyone's reactions to things without forming a line like in the game.

It does, but really the investigation is probably the most sensible thing to skip over since all the evidence gets looked over again during the trials anyway.
It's probably not having the characterization that hurts it the most. But they would have to slow down the pace since 12 episodes of (optional) social links wouldn't have been good viewing.
Me and my friends watched the first 3 episodes last week. I noticed this. The opening and setup for everything went by SO fast. We literally had to stop the video so I could give them a quick rundown of what was going on.

Yeah, for example, the golden sword in the first case? There's no going with Sayaka to find a weapon for self defense; it's just suddenly there in Naegi's room the entire time and the whole "paint easily scrapes off" doesn't even come up during the trial.
And the Executions get some nice retouches, which is nice.
I feel like the anime could've been really effective at doing some cool detective show thing of letting the audience piece together the crime during the investigations, I guess sort of how it works in the game...but it just glosses over all the evidence with little to no explanation as to why it's important until the trial. "Oh, a glass ball near the incinerator, okay, whatever." For someone who hasn't already played the games, it's probably kind of frustrating how it skips over everything so fast.
I really wish more care was put into the series, but I guess one can't really expect that from a video game adaptation. Oh well. I'm still hoping for an English dub at some point with the voice cast from the game.
Also, I would LOVE to see a live action adaptation of the game. With all the crazy character designs, it'd be like the Ace Attorney movie with what looks like cosplayers playing the absolutely ridiculous events of the story completely straight. That'd be a fun watch.
