At risk of setting myself up for looking like a fool, I really do mean the title of this video: this is as deep a dive I can do into Danganronpa at present, expanding on ideas I’ve discussed before while finding even more angles to view the whole.

I think onw of the most important points made in the video is the affirmation of "Danganronpa is about many things", onw mistake that i see commonly made by people that don't tend to engage with criticism is to find one meaning in a work and critic said work as if that symbolism was the only point of said work (See people insisting that naruto is about "hardwork"). Narratives, art, and other forms of expression can embodied multiple symbolisms and that is something that needs to be stated. Other than that, glad you came back to making videos.

I have a big brother who did content, and he did pretty well for himself except for the year long break he took making him struggle to come back. I like your videos and I hope you never give up because I always come back to watch the newest one

VERY GOOD opening! But I have to stop at the spoiler warning. This video is gonna make me finally finish V3 after I stalled out in my first attempt. I’ll edit this comment when I return.

Ok so I've never played the games and its unlikely that I'll play them in the next few years probably, so is it okay if I watch the anime? Like is it good?

@anxhelovucinaj1576 2 ай бұрын

No,no it is not good,like at all

@fastvalkary725 2 ай бұрын

No it's not good, either of them. Just play the games and read Danganronpa Zero.
