What went wrong and how would you fix it
Only disliked the High School side
>what went wrong
Hope side became a battle shonen. Despair side used a lazy excuse to justify everyone going despair mode, unlike the individual mental manipulation we were promised in the second game where Junko was supposed to exploit the characters' obvious flaws
>how would you fix it
Don't make the anime in the first place
It was too ambitious. The concept of switching back and forth between Future and Despair arcs was novel but it ended up being too restrictive because both arcs had to constantly reference the other instead of progressing naturally.
I’m honestly thinking about rewriting the story of this entire thing myself to make it better.
>What went wrong
the main plot was hot garbage from the first game
>how would you fix it
just adapt v3, it's the best one
everything
wouldnt bother fixing something that was shit from its inception
Despair side retroactively made DR2 and Hope side worse. Having Junko just use brainwashing absolves the entire DR2 cast of anything evil they did as ultimate despairs and flanderizes the shit out of them.
Utilize the plot point of Chisa being a 13th Remnant by making her the perp of the final killing game and having Class 74 come to rescue her to parallel the first attempt in Despair-hen that ended up being unsuccessful and then have China & Munakata live on the Island with Class 74.
Seriously, that small fix-up would've made the entire anime somewhat tolerable instead of the shit that even Kodaka himself has stated he was against.
Fundamentally broken. You would have to change EVERYTHING. Future/Despair side while a cool concept, was bad in execution
>70% of Future's cast are new entries that get killed off with barely any development.
Would it have been better if the killing game was mostly like the others with the exceptions of the personal limitations
happy old man let his subordinates kill each other because of bruh
Scrap one side, and make the other a two-cour story.
You could have Mirai-hen with a much more fleshed out game, cast, development, and avoid some of the retardation the original had.
Or, you could have Zetsubou-hen with much better pacing and you could actually show Junko individually breaking the spirits of each member of the class instead of LOLMAGICBRAINWASHINGANIME. Also, remove Chiaki and keep her as just an AI.
Despair.
>Scrap one side, and make the other a two-cour story.
Pretty much this. Trying to do both was simply too ambitious.
the anime extrapolated on things that the writers didn't want to extrapolate on so they just made a shitpost, v3 has similar problems but it mostly isn't nearly as bad. ideally it just wouldn't exist but if it has to it should scrap one of the sides like dubs just said. changing future would take too long so i'll just write about despair. Junko should have been introduced earlier and should have spent time befriending the group and brainwashing them individually. When that retarded case 2 thing happened she could have gone to both Mahiru and Fuyuhiko to tell them different things, have her get the group to distrust and feel bad about existing institutions like the yakuza or the school or their own families to the extent that they become convinced that the only way to help people is to stop them until they eventually loose themselves in their own self-righteousness and they become uncomfortable with questioning their actions. Basically make it more like Ultra Despair Girls.
junko shouldn't have existed past the first game
I’m committed to this idea now. I’m going to start with despair and see how things go. I’ll probably post in like a week
Flaws it might have had, it was the most fun I had watching an anime in a while. The switching back and forth made it hard to stop watching.
This
Naegi gets pregnant with child. There, is that better?
2complex4u?
Whose?
>What went wrong
it should have never been made
>how would you fix it
erase its existence. "how" junko ended the world was never meant to be explained and no matter what explanation they used it'd be retarded. 2 vaguely mentioned brainwashing but then junko dismissed it as being too boring and cliche. that shouldve been the end of it. all i want is a fucking slice of life anime with the characters, no dark shit why havent they done this yet? its so obvious.
Because the audience just wants more shitty killing games.
Despair side
>DR2 characters are flanderized
>Hajime's backstory and relationship with Chiaki just becomes suffering porn
>Despair brainwashing is retarded
>Characters act in retarded ways in order to make the plot work
Hope side
>It's a battle shonen, which I don't really mind, but it isn't a good one
>Mastermind's plan is retarded
>Brainwashing anime is still retarded
>They shouldn't have even tried killing Kyoko if they were going to pussy out
>DR2 cast comes back from being braindead/despair raped and are pefectly fine.
To fix it I would cut the despair arc, or at least cut it down to a few flashbacks, Put more time and effort into the writing and animation for hope, remove anime brainwashing, and keep the DR2 cast but clearly show they aren't perfectly healed, or have a few of them still braindead
>believe in the miracle...
>and the ultimate omnipotent bros
>all these shit opinions
you disgust me. Its schlock.
and thats a good thing.
It didn't need to exist, but it was fun. The ONLY flaw is that Chiaki is confirmed dead, but at least that BTFO the waifufaggots.
Is there anyone who can even remotely control our boy juzo?
>The ONLY flaw is that Chiaki is confirmed dead, but at least that BTFO the waifufaggots.
She should have never existed in the first place.
Not only was she a dumb mary sue, but she ruined the joke behind her character.
The memes alone put it above V3 for me
Munakata was amazing and I wouldn't change anything about his crazy swordweilding ass.
>What went wrong
They killed Seiko
>how would you fix it
Save Seiko
