The Danganronpa franchise consists of 3 good video games and a sludgedump of mediocre anime manga novels and other products subcontracted by Danganronpas parent company to milk the franchise. Danganronpa 3 the anime is one of these mediocre products. Only watch this if youre a hardcore Danganronpa fan so it can fill you with despair. I would give this a 7/10 but since you have to play the games first to understand this its a 6/10. Normies should watch something else.
Spoilers below
After their failure to turn Danganronpas 1st game into an anime they decided to make an allnew sequel to both Danganronpas 1st and 2nd games and call it Danganronpa 3. D3 has adult Makoto and his friends running from Based Munakata and Based Juzo who want to kill them because of hope?
Characters
Makoto Kyoko and Busty Aoi are portrayed well enough. Aoi fans will love D3 especially when she quickchanges out of a suit into a tank top and short shorts due to clothing damage. Byakuya Kyoko and Yasuhiro make cameos.
Kyosuke Munakata and Juzo Sakakura have nonsensical motivations for wanting to beat up and kill everyone else but watching them fight sure is fun.
Knife Guy Candy Girl and Pill Girl are the B team filler. Their fights are entertaining at first but get boring when flashbacks are added on. Even with these boring flashbacks it would be hard to understand unless you alternate watching between D3s Future Side and Despair Side like the creators intended.
Monaca and Despair Girls : Characters from the mediocre spinoff video game: Ultra Despair Girls. Their filler takes up a whole episode and ends in an anticlimax. Wasted potential.
The rest of the characters are blah and you wont understand the final antagonists motivations unless you watch Despair Side.
Despair Side Characters: As a true and honest fan I assume you will watch 1 episode of Future Side followed by 1 Episode of Despair Side as intended. Nagito Junko Hajime and Chiaki are given on par portrayals with Junko being hilarious and campy in the English Dub but the true star is breakout new character Chisa Yukisome. Danganronpa fans who secretly wish that Monomi was replaced by a hot teacher with a personality between older sister and mother will adore Chise.
Conclusion
Turn off your brain. Enjoy the fights. Enjoy the boobs.
