I really like the photos from the official stages of Danganronpa (although the photos from behind the scenes are especially good).

I liked this one, and I wanted to do something thematic…

WAIT SO YOURE TELLING ME… the dvd only version of the thh stageplay has an alt execution for mondo?!?! and it’s better than the game (I mean, it’s a low bar to cross but the small change is good). You best believe I’m gonna talk about it.

At first I was like “how are they gonna do the whole motorcycle thing” and turns out the motorcycle is made up by the monokuma dancers (and some umbrellas for the wheels) which works in terms of movement. It would be kind of awkward having a stagnant actual motorcycle on stage and dangerous if the motorcycle was actually driven around, so this is the safest and probably most creative choice to still simulate an actual moving motorcycle.

So there’s no cage of death in this version, at least I don’t think so. Mondo’s not tied up, he’s driving the motorcycle himself on what seems to be a street. There’s still fanfare and stuff, but it’s the ENDING that gets it. There’s another figure on another motorcycle next to him, wearing a white jacket. Everything kinda slows down so that Mondo can see him. He even says “aniki” in like, disbelief. But the figure is revealed to be monokuma disguised as Daiya, and Mondo, because he was distracted, ends up crashing and dying that way.

Which is????? I’m sorry, but it’s better. Despite being simpler, it has so much more emotion behind it. Simulating the event that has given mondo all of this grief and trauma and guilt. Making the last thing he experiences a bitter reminder of why he hates himself so much. giving him this hope of seeing his brother again, only to take it away. Granting his guilt-ridden and fucked up wish that Daiya never saved him that night. Like???? That’s so good!?!?!?! Oh yeah, and it’s not based on a horribly racist children’s book and no mondo butter being the only thing people take away from his character.

I’m sorry, I just found out about this, so my thoughts are all jumbled. I think this is also the version where he has to watch taka die for voting wrong before his own execution. I just thought that he was gonna get the same spear treatment, BUT APPARENTLY NOT!

it’s good. i like it.

I almost like the Danganronpa v1 stage play's version of canon better than the actual canon.

Mondo and Kiyotaka dying together for the angst???

Celestia taking more of a literal gamble???

Literally in love. The only thing I wish they'd included was Aoi tampering with the evidence in Sakura's death to cause a mistrial.

I'm honestly really pissed Danganronpa doesn't have a better anime adaptation.

Leaving aside Danganronpa 3, which is its own beast, the only other anime adaptation there is, Danganronpa: The Animation, is mediocre, both as an adaptation and as an anime on its own.

The animation is lazy: many sequences are pulled straight from the game with only a few touches rather than redone entirely for an anime format. The original animation is nothing to write home about either, many times it's stiff and dull.

The plot is rushed due to it being only 12 episodes long. It should have definitely been longer, 15 at the least, in order to accomodate all plot-relevant events comfortably rather than try to cram everything in too short a time. Either that or alter the sequence of events a bit to shorten the story. In the stage play, for example, Kiyotaka is executed with Mondo rather than murdered separatedly, thus eliminating his case while still not letting him survive. It would have been interesting to see a joint execution for Kiyo and Mondo, at the very least.

Characterization is iffy due to not taking on account the free time events. While it would have been redundant to animate those separatedly, some of the character details revealed in them could have been added to the show's characterization to flesh out the students. Although some characters are not as flat as they were in the game due to getting more scenes (such as Leon begging for his life before being executed), everyone who is not Makoto or Kyoko is underdeveloped.

The videogame gimmick gets tired fast. The bullet aim transitions and the pixel preludes to each execution are fine, but other things, like debates being presented exactly like in the game or introducing names for each execution, are distracting. It feels more like a game in anime form rather than an anime adaptation of a game's plot.

The anime is not all bad, though. The character design is faithful to the game in all the right ways, down to striking the same poses but in a more dynamic way. The voice acting is really good, and some characters are made more competent or less asshole-ish. The music is excellent, both the soundtrack pulled from the game, and the opening and ending songs. Those two are so good that it's a shame the anime is not on their level of epic.

Overall, it's just a forgettable anime, which is a shame given how famous and popular Danganronpa was, and still is. It deserved a much better adaptation, just as good as the game.

based on this stage play photo!!:

SILLY MAN!!!!!!!!!!! look at him he's so silly silly silly. this is a 2017 stage play promotional picture but he's the same actor as the 2015 one :)

side note now feels like a good time to mention how drastically they photoshopped some of the actors' pictures?? this one isn't too bad, i can recognise it's the same actor (he's just been made several shades paler and a bit smoother lol) but some omg they're unrecognisable and i can't tell which of the actors it is (some characters had multiple actors) 💔

#considering making this my profile picture! but also... i dont like change lol and dont wanna confuse anyone by changing my profile at all #kazuichi soda #kazuichi souda #sdr2 #super danganronpa 2 #danganronpa #my art #i never know whether to tag these drawings as the stage play or not🤔 if you feel like im incorrectly tagging them as the play then-> #please correct me and i'll untag them. but idk like im including a stage play photo in the post so i think it's right to tag the play? #sdr2 the stage #danganronpa stage play #did you guys know i love kazuichi #he makes me go ♡♡♡♡♡♡<3<3<3<3<3❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #screwdriver head man🪛 #i love giving him freckles :) they just suit him idk

I decided to redraw another screenshot from the official production. It’s my favorite, no kidding. I keep it in the gallery and see it every time I open the album with Komamiki owo

And God, that's what I love about the stage play. It has the limitations of time and what practical effects can be done live on an assumedly small budget, which breeds innovations like the wrong vote execution giving probably the best send off for Ishimondo in the canon Killing Game context, Celestia's "murder" of Sakura playing into her talent as a gambler, and now this simple but effective execution. It really is my favorite version of the THH story for that reason.

Ask referring to this.

Yeah, the people in charge of the story changes for the thh stageplay were so based for their decisions.

They gave us not one, but TWO mondo executions better than the actual game. And as much as I love my guy Ishida, the way Taka was executed for voting for himself is a much more satisfying and thematically appropriate way for him to die. And Celeste as well actually using her ultimate for a trial. The first time she ever loses a bet is the thing that costs her her life. I’m sure Celeste enjoyers have other reasons why it fits better because they know more about her, but I think it’s a very good change.

Oh yeah, and didn’t Makoto let Junko live in the stageplay version? It wasn’t even a change made for timing purposes. I think the writer’s thought that Junko having to live with the fact that she failed and all that fun stuff was genuinely a better fate for her. Either that or they couldn’t figure out a way to give her a more heightened execution than the spears with all their restrictions so decided to omit her death altogether.

Also, the stageplay has little character moments that the game didn’t. Which isn’t really a writing thing, but I’m sure it comes down to some of the dialogue and the actors being a able to y’know act and add some flavor to their characters, physically. (Something that comes to mind is Taka saying smth about not running in the halls and then proceeding to speed walk across the stage with a big smile on his face. It’s so funny and makes him endearing to the audience right off the bat.) This is something that the game couldn’t do because it’s a VN and the anime could’ve done but… well we know what happened there.

All of this to say, I agree. The stageplay is so good. It’s one of those rare adaptations that actually manages to make changes to the source material that builds and adds more to the story rather than takes away. Ironically, it does this by shortening the story by a ton. But yeah, story-wise, the stageplay is the the best version of thh. In my opinion.
