Gaming magazine Famitsu has announced that there will be a new original anime titled Super Danganronpa 2.5: Nagito Komaeda to Sekai no Houkaisha included with the Choukoukoukyuu no Gentei Box edition of the upcoming game New Danganronpa V3: Minna no Koroshiai Shingakki, which will be released on January 12, 2017. The original anime, as the title suggested, is focused around Nagito Komaeda as the main character instead of Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata.

Danganronpa is a suspense detective game developed by Spike Chunsoft. It has received various stage and anime adaptations, with Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen as the latest anime adaptation, with two arcs and a conclusive special Kibou-hen, which aired in Summer 2016.

So when will this take place?

Either way, I can't say I'm TOOOOOO excited, since I'm not a big Nagito fan, but more Danganronpa is always welcome.

If they decide to hire the writers who wrote DR3 then it's most likely going to be trash

Do I give a shit?

No

Have you played the games?
They are infinitely more entertaining and enjoyable than the anime that have spawned from them. Most of the hype comes from the gamers.

I just wish kodaka actually wrote these instead of just doing the general gist of the plot, like the whole thing that made danganropa work was that he made these really retarded and absurd situations work through genuinely funny parody whilst still making the occasional drama scenes work. 3 really shows how without his overall involvement working closely with the dialogue alot of that charm gets lost. Nagito is a character i feel like can only work if kodaka is really working closely on what hes saying since hes basically a self parody of the entire series in antagonist form.

Couldn't we get like a special abou Junko and how she ended up like she did Despair-loving and all?? Or the best waifu every Chiaki???
Or I dunno maybe adapt one of the novels???

The two games are literally mandatory to understand Danganronpa 3, and at least knowing about the events in Another Episode makes some things more clear.
Anyone who is coming straight from the DR1 anime shouldn't be watching 3, period. 3 isn't as strong as the games, but makes for some decent fan service.

Probably because you watched the anime which is much worse than the game

I simply would like to see some moments of the game animated. And it would never get a decent animation, I know.

Komaeda as the protagonist? Dis gunna be some good stuff. Though 2.5 has me worrying. Sounds like it might just be a OVA of him during Despair Girls.

I'll still watch it, though.

It'll probably take place during the events of Danganronpa 2 since it has SDR2 in the title. Best boy Komaeda's getting an OVA!! Can't wait to see him use more of his ultimate bullshit luck.

Damn people are going with the salt with DR3 and now this? Okay. Well, that's opinions so, I'm just saying that I'm not really mad at both so.

Well, I'm pretty open with new stuff coming from the series, and having an OVA for Komaeda, I think this would be interesting in all honesty.

From the title, it sounds like instead of adapting DR2 were stuck with another original series this time set between DR2 and DR3. Oh well, I probably will watch this either way!

Sounds interesting as long as Komaeda blows something up. Might buy it if V3 has the limited edition out with the English release too.

It's just an OVA that comes in a limited edition pack. It's not like it's overstaying it's welcome.

DR1 was more like 20+, but SDR2 was probably 30 hours or more.

How in the world would DR ever take 50 hours to beat? My first playthrough of DR1 was 18 hours, and my first playthrough of DR2 was like 25.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I'm just wondering.

It apparently recounts how the DR2 cast woke up from their comas and then continues off from where DR3 left off. From the boat or something.
