Cause algorithm. Many popular RU-vidrs are finally playing the Danganronpa Series of Games. If the viewers watch said RU-vidrs, it’s natural that this would be in their recommend. At least that’s how I *think* the RU-vid algorithm works.
I love that the more episodes you go into the intro changes to darker colours and the characters have red eyes to show that the despair is growing. Hajime also starts to fade into Kamakura's hair.
I don't think the word "dark" is that appropriate to describe the colors as the episodes go on... I think those colors were "negative colors" Well, it doesn't make sense hahaha
But that just makes it better right? The firs MV was full of color and that makes the song sound peaceful. As the MV gets darker, the song itself gets sadder. A nice touch, imo.
Chiaki was the only icon that was truly hope. Even at the expense of her own life, she tried to save her friends! I hope she finds happiness in the heaven of the anime world
@@hanaazouri2181 but the thing is, thry all eventually succumbed (i think thats the word) to despair except chiaki. she’s the only one in her class who didnt fall to despair and stayed with hope until her end
hi sorry to bother you! but if you dont mind me asking..in what order should i watch danganronpa animes? im a bit confused here since well im kinda new! ..that's pretty much it.! thanks :)
the first episodes were surprisingly very calm and just like a regular anime and then the ending episodes were extremely unsettling and heartbreaking the whole season was astonishing.
Because Junko fully broke them. By taking away someone they loved so much in such a horrific fashion and them not being able to help her, in addition to the stimulation the video added, Junko completely broke their spirits. Unpopular opinion, but the fact she used this method to break them is far more heartbreaking than anything else Junko was capable of.
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 yea I agree, it’s so sad to see her do that. Unpopular opinion (I hope I won’t get bashed for lmayo) that’s the only reason I hate Junko, like her voice and character design is cool but she’s horrible and it makes me sad. But hey, she’s kinda the face of danganronpa so no escaping her haha
I love the symbolism. Junko holding them in her hands is that she has them in the palm of her hands, and that they're on the side of despair. Her blowing them away is scattering the remnants of despair to plunge the entire world into despair. Awesome OP, best of Danganronpa.
Kinda reminds me of dandelions lol, spreading chaos that way, do definitely wish they went more into the "she went to each one of them individually and caused them to fall to despair" but yeah i guess with 12 episodes they couldnt really do that lol. Still feels a bit mid to have all of them "go crazy" at once but that also probably is so that way they still are considered savable, they didnt mean to do what they did they were just mind controlled. Like i mean it makes sense it just feels a bit hollow lol, but mind control kinda feels cheap most times, but my favorite character is nagito because at least it feels like he has ideals that werent so half baked, idk. I still like danganronpa and danganronpa 2 is my favorite of the series, but after not watching or reading for awhile its kinda goofy but i mean the goofyness is kinda the fun part so i mean yeah.
Ikr like The weight of the song is so heavy but the song is just so calming in a way. Its a melancholic feeling. Sad but happy at the same time. Its such a banger.
Six years after I watched Danganronpa 3, I still think this is one of the best anime OPs ever crafted. It's difficult for me to explain why, but I'll try my best. The vocals are so soft and emotional, and especially during the later episodes it really does make everything that happens much more gripping. Seeing Mikan slowly falling to despair alongside this OP hurt my soul. Seeing Chiaki die and then having this OP play the next episode genuinely made me sob all over again. It feels like this song is soft and hopeful, but at the same time it feels like there is nothing but despair. I don't know how this is possible, but holy hell it works beautifully.
@@jamestrainor4293 toxic twitter users, toxic tiktok users, annoying fans being the more vocal part of the fandom unfortunately, these shitty parts of the fandom are shown to the internet more in my personal experience and it kinda sheds danganronpa in a bad light which sucks, and then that leads to overgeneralising where everyone assumes the entire fandom is hot garbage, in which it kinda is but i know there are some hidden golden gems somewhere
@@ShrubbyCanine yep, so glad I never got into mha absolute cesspool of scum. Yeh with Danganronpa fandom oh Ik it’s bad, barely on Twitter, never downloaded ccp tok. For me there’s too much vocal shit (particularly spoilers and shippers). However there’s some passionate individuals especially the fanmade art and games and even some cosplayers ig who aren’t toxic. At least Spikechunsoft is a good company
@@ShrubbyCanine Agreed, it's weird considering a lot of these types I thought wouldn't like a lot of the stuff in Danganronpa. But i take solace in the fact that the types you describe are a vocal minority.
WTF THIS ANIME CAME OUT 7 YEARS AGO??? Time truly does fly.. I remember when this anime came out and I would NOT stop listening to the opening. I had to ascend to the heavens every time it came on.

What a beautiful opening, it's as if .... of some of the really showed the desperation of all these students, and Chiaki at the end is so amazing and makes me cry when I remember her. Danganronpa and his ops are great
Despite the fact that I’m long past my Danganronpa phase, this OP makes me nostalgic as hell and makes me miss my DR phase. I remember binging this entire anime and the OVA during quarantine due to my hyper fixation on the series 🥲
I'll always appreciate how sweet and peaceful the opening sounds until Junko all of a sudden pops up of nowhere and the music gets more intense. Really highlights how everything flew off the rails once she came.
Junko is a really beautifull character. She represents our longing for despair, for if all you feel is hope, you grow numb to it. That is why her message resonated with so many people, to the point where she was able to take over the entire world. Even if Junko herself is kind of a flat character, in a way she kind of needed to be, that is because she is almost metaphorical, so giving her a backstory would give her ulterior motives to an otherwise universal message. That is why, regardless of how you interpret the ending of V3 (spoilers for V3 btw), it depicts a world that has grown so sick of hope that they have to create fictional despair. There is no hope without despair, which is why society as a whole rejected the idea of an entirety peaceful world. Hence why ultimately the message of the franchise was to reject hope and despair, to reject Danganronpa.
Ironically this song is probably the most fitting for a danganronpa animation. It sounds calm, but upon reading the lyrics it’s much darker than the first look, that as well as the animation changing as the season progresses, becoming darker with more touches of despair
Both the world of persona and danganronpa are so similar and me playing persona 3 to 5 made me realize how both the schools are supposed to look innocent but are actually corrupted
It was always satisfying seeing Junko blowing the students away from her hands, this opening is still a bop though and I do miss watching despair arc. :’)
Beautiful intro, with the bright colors of the untainted 77th class turning into bringers of black darkness with just a little "push" from Junko. And poor, lovely Chiaki at the end. Her heart and soul could not be tainted and thus had to be destroyed. Her selfless courage and love became the blades that severed her friends from despair.
oh my god. I can't believe people are discovering Danganronpa! alot of my friends asked me about the correct watch order of DR and i couldnt get more happier I used to play/watch the whole series back in 2016 and I had no one to talk to about it. Now that people are discovering the anime plus the game I just want to say that I'm proud and happy. My favorite character is Gundham Tanaka! He is my pure baby
I'll never forget the day Despair and Future arc was on air. This song brings me so much memories and nostalgia. I remember that summer, waiting each end of the week for a new episode, it was at the same time i saw the entire two games. Good times.
this is honestly the most heart breaking intro , i've seen in my entire life :') , especially when you see junko dropping the 77th to see them fall into despair same for chisa falling down and becoming a silhouette depicting how she became a remnant of despair god damn man this arc got me messed up specially for chisa :')
This arc was the most heartbreaking and disturbing. The op itself fools you into thinking its happy go lucky. However thats the point, as we all know that because it sounds so peaceful is EXACTLY whats makes us so disturbed to see the kind of horrific shit Junko does to these people.
For anyone trying to learn the song, here's the romaji! Ugokidasu karada no oku niwa Umaretate no neji ga sawagu! Hora? Ajikenai, tsumaranai, sekai n hashi... Miorosu, anata wa dare? Me no mae mekuraeteyuku ni furerarenai mirai (furerarenai nara surinuketeyuke) Kinou data sekai wa yoteichouwa, bakari dakedo (fukakutei nandakara) Mada, zetsubou, kibou, suresure kamihitoe (bokura wa mada ayafuya de tomadoi tayutau) Sore mo itoshiinda mienai to shitemo Kuragari sotto... Kimi no te o hiite Please lmk if there's any errors in there I'm not too great at romaji ^^")
i literally remember having a breakdown everytime chiaki looked back in this opening during the last few eps. god she didn't deserve to die like that poor baby
Whenever I hear the beginning part of the opening ( 0:01 - 0:06 ) it always never fails to make me think of Black Mirror. Had to get this off my chest real quick 😅
I think despair arc is the best installment in the series for making the viewer feel despair. You know exactly what is going to happen when you start this series and you’re just waiting for the moments of impact.
