The Future arc takes place after everyone escapes from Hope Peak's Academy in the first anime/game. The first episode already summarized what happened to the world during the time they were trapped inside the school.

You can download it on Steam.

So this looks more like a prequel to Danganronpa 2, seeing as how the remnants of despair are still wandering about. Will need to see if the other anime answers any questions.

Did Monokuma get a new VA? His laugh sounds a lot different

Well regardless, let the game begin.

i'm so thirsty for my despair kids, but it was good seeing naegi again. i think his presence will really stand out in this bleak, zero escape-like setting.

it's post-DR2. makoto helped hajime and the other survivors on the island, then returned to the future foundation. this is the result of his actions in saving the despair kids. the scenes at the beginning of the ep were only to chronicle the future foundation's efforts in first capturing them.

Eh...Nope, this is confirmed a sequel to the second game, the remnants of despair part was a flashback... And yes, Monokuma have a new VA now...

Are you talking about Danganronpa V3? That one will have nothing to do with the Hope vs Depair stuff...New setting and no returning characters (unless they are trolling us), the only think that is obviously confirmed to return is Monokuma...

no worries. the two dr3 anime have nothing to do with the drv3 game, which will take place in either a) another universe, or b) a time far, far into the future.

Not true. There will probably be trials in this.

The reason there is not a game is because the developer wanted to start a new story arc because of new game mechanics and whatnot. But because they still wanted to finish this story, they are just making an anime for it.


There won't. If the wikia's quotes are right, the creator of the franchise, who's in charge of this anime, wanted to close the hope's peak academy arc for good with this. That's why he went for a series, because another game with the same characters would "not make sense" considering some of them have already gone through this. He went for the more straight "kill or be killed" this time around, instead of having trials.

The new game is a new arc, with new characters and what-not. This is just closing what DR1 and 2 started.

Here, source: http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Danganronpa_3:_The_End_of_Hope%27s_Peak_Academy

"Kodaka said in his Twitter account that the anime is a thank-you for the Danganronpa fans; "The first animation for Danganronpa contributed to increasing Danganronpa fans. However, 3's animation will target people who supported Danganronpa up until now. I thought about what excites you guys the best, and I thought I should do it. This is our repayment for Danganronpa fans. There's no reason to betray it. We're drawing the final episode with full power. The mission to excite all the fans! I hope to complete it and meet again!". "


After Kodaka said that, it reminds me of Zero Time Dilemma. Considering it is also the final game to end the Zero Escape series and with a 'full power' message. I can't wait what twist Kodaka will pull on this one. Episode 1 is an evidence of that.

As for the first episode. I was not expecting to have a killing actually. I haven't read or watched any PV at this point, but only knowing that there will be an anime for the 3rd game.

I have played the 1st and 2nd game so I'l so familiar with the Despair chars. They look so terrifying and knowing the twist from the second game was awesome.

I'd say for those who wanted a full experience, play the 1st and 2nd game, though I think I already spoiled you for that :P

Well as expected ep 1 ended with despair.
Both Danganronpa 3 char & Danganronpa 2 char (remnant of despair) look baddass. The intro make me think this anime is about all out war between remnant of hope vs remnant of despair but in the end it's back to killing game again. No more pink blood, OP & ED is good, Rie Kugimiya as a old dude with beard & brocolli hair... seriously why..
Glad I finished Danganronpa 2 game before the anime airing.

Hey guys, remember how in the end of the first game they show Monokuma standing up and talkin even tho Junko is no longer there? What if the mastermind behind that Monokuma is the Monokuma doing this game right now? I mean, I don't think they revealed the identity of that Monokuma yet did they? Unless it is the AI that would eventually split itself in two and start the tradegy of Towa city...

Yay, finally, ITS HERE!
Although i know it wont be the best anime of the season or something like that, i will probably enjoy it, as someone who followed the series and had lots of fun!

Monokuma voice has changed, but its still monokuma!
Ah! The "sound of discovering a a corpse", its só pleasent and beautiful, i almost made a ahegao that time!

Most of the people know who is the villain already right? There is 3 people i think that are the culprit, the one who dieds, the one who previously was supposed to die, and the one that will probably die. (lol, makes no sense)
This will be my guilty pleasure and my ecchi of this season. Some despair is pleasure after all.

How old is Naegi and the other ones? It was 3 YEARS in Hope'speak Academy if im correctly right?

(I also Wonder if Naegi and Kirigiri turned into friends with "privileges", lol wut)

New cast seems pretty cool. Poor Naegi really can't catch a break.

Just watched an hour video trying to catch up with what i missed not playing the second game and then proceeded to spend time on the wikis and elsewhere. Good thing I did because I know a couple people that went into this blind and were like wtf is going on. Because of that I quite enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to seeing where they take it from here and the other series.

This is exactly what happened with Maizono, the character I end up liking first is the first to die T__T RIP Yukizome

I like the characters introduced so far, especially the boxer and blacksmith. However the only character I will be genuinely upset over if they die is Asahina. I actually want all of the originals to survive, but Asahina the most just because I love her.

Anyways, good first ep. Can't wait for more :D

Fun fact (since I keep seeing people mentioning his bad luck), but Naegi's actual real talent (besides Hope) is (all but confirmed, really) "Super High School Level Bad Luck". He basically drains other people's good luck, making them face the worst possible situation for each outcome/problem, even his own.

http://marchen-v-friedhof.tumblr.com/post/62229920031/summary-of-dangan-ronpa-dvdblu-ray-vol1-novel

The only real "SHSL Good Luck" so far are Komaeda and the girl mentioned in the story.

Your list says you havent watched the anime for the first game, so unless you have played one or both games you are literally going into the 3rd part of a trilogy blind and complaining about it. THAT is why you are uninformed. (And also, JUST watching the anime and not playing the 2nd game is already enough to have an uninformed opinion)

Now if you have played one or both games, and you dislike this anime you are just going into a thread and calling it garbage. Which is pretty douchy to me in its own way and makes me care about your opinion to the same degree (not at all). Constructive criticism is different from trash talking.

That also. To me anyone who goes into the first ep thread and complains about writing for a series that obviously has a lot of twists and turns is either baiting or very stupid.
