Why is this shitty edgelord series so popular? Is it just because

Because girls like EDGE and mystery or something.

Mystery series where members of the cast can die.

Also it is anime as fuck.

Oh is it cool to hate now? I need to be sure I'm on /a/'s side.

1) Fully embraces Superflat art style. Edgy gothic girls and regular otaku alike love it.
2) "Teenagers forced into a death game" shit has been popular ever since Battle Royale and kids love it.
3) Edge
4) Standout character designs
5) Death

I haven't played the games nor will I but when the first one came out it was pretty good and interesting idea at the time since we had no other shows like it.

But I really can't be bothered with the others.
Also Naegi fucking sucks.

I don't know, it doesn't seem too popular compared Re:zero

It should be noted that something doesn't have to actually be edgy for the appeal, it can just have the edgy aesthetic and nobody will mind the difference. Also, people dying don't need to stay dead either. The only thing that needs to be genuine is the mystery.

Garbage is garbage irrespective of sales.

>>144705223

Because all those deaths of minor characters that nobody care.

>>144705223
Because the GAMES had pretty good murder cases you got to solve and the characters grew on you on your silly little day dates.
>>144705861
Play the GAMES you pleb or refrain from spouting your uninformed opinions.

>>144705223
Because the games are great.

>>144706037
Yeah I'm playing through the games right now, haven't seen the anime but the game isn't honestly something I thought anyone would hate on

>>144705861

How new do you have to be to play contrarian with danganronpa?

>>144705223

The games are great.

The first anime series is shit.

OP is a faggot

>>144705223

Maybe because its actually good and only secondary or happy-clappy faggots dislike it.

>>144706184
Kill yourself you uninformed faggot, it's a detective game.

The games are pretty good but the first anime is rushed as fuck, that's why im a bit skeptical of 3.

This alone warrants success. Westerners and nips alike eat this shit up

3 has been perfect so far. The OST needs to fucking come out already.

>>144705223

They are really fun games. I don't think they work great as a non-interactive series though. The entertaining class trials are 80% of the draw for me.

Trap character. It's always the trap character.

>>144706266
3 has been good so far. Mainly because there is just one(?) murderer this time around so you can focus on that case.

game's an asspull
anime cans the bullshittery in a rushed mess

>>144706474
Have you even played Danganronpa? Or any other detective game for that matter?

>>144706474

Such as? When were you not given information to solve the case before the trial? AA is a much worse offender in that regard.

how come people think it's actually written well?
