To give context I’ve finished both Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2 game, and was thinking of watching the Danganronpa animated series next, but when I go check it out on mal. All of the watch orders are confusing, like I’m seeing Danganronpa 2.5, Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen, etc etc, but apparently There’s two version of Danganronpa 3 The End of Kibougamine and Danganronpa 2.5 came after Danganronpa 3 the animated series? It’s just so confusing..

So can someone give me the proper watch order for it so that I won’t be confuse anymore.

First of all watch this after finishing the second game (or after the optional side game Ultra Despair Girls)
As for how to watch this show, when this anime aired Despair and Future arc aired separately on Saturday and Sunday.
So the right watch order is
Future Arc ep 1
Despair Arc ep 1
Future Arc ep 2
Despair Arc ep 2
Future Arc ep 3
Despair Arc ep 3
...etc
Continue this till you reach this final episode.

It wasn't such a pain to do before as it used to be on crunchyroll in order of them all together to watch. But since crunchyroll and funimation split and funimation owns the rights to the show they for some reason separated them to seperate series to confuse matters for everyone.

You are suppose to watch Despair arc and Future arc at the same time. I personally watched Despair Arc first and wasnt confused about anything so its your choise, really. After those comes Hope Arc and thats about it.

I see people giving wrong information in this section. I'm a Danganronpa fan and finished all visual novels and anime. After finishing the first and second game, you can play "Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls" which is something like a Spin-Off, but not really because it covers what happened to the city after *spoiler* its destruction. Some important characters from the games also appear and it will give you some more context for the anime. However, it would not ruin your experience of watching the anime at all, so it's up to you.

There are four animes after that: "Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen." (Future arc,) "Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen." (Despair arc,) "Danganronpa 3: The end of Kibougamine Gakuen - Kibou-hen." (Hope arc,) and Super Danganronpa 2.5: Nagito Komaeda and the Destroyer of the World.
You should watch it in the order it was released to get the best experience. First, an episode of Future Arc, then, an episode of Despair Arc, the next episode of Future Arc, the next episode of Despair Arc, and so on. Something like this:
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 1
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 1
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 2
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 2
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 3
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 3
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 4
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 4
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 5
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 5
-Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 6
-Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 6
And so on...
When you finish the Future and Despair Arcs, you should watch the Hope Arc (Kibou-Hen) which has only ONE episode and is the conclusion to the first two animes.
After finishing those animes, you can watch Danganronpa 2.5, which is an OVA that accurs after Danganronpa 2. However, it contains spoilers about a major event in the Anime of Danganronpa 3, so I would recommend you to leave it for the end.
To conclude, here's the full list of watch order:

-Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc (First Game)
-Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (Second Game)
-Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
-Danganronpa 3 (Anime):
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 1
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 1
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 2
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 2
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 3
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 3
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 4
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 4
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 5
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 5
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 6
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 6
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 7
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 7
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 8
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 8
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 9
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 9
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 10
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 10
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 11
Danganronpa 3: Zetsubou-Hen (Despair Arc) episode 11
Danganronpa 3: Mirai-Hen (Future Arc) episode 12
Danganronpa 3: Kibou-Hen (Hope Arc) episode 1
Danganronpa 2.5

If you're wondering, no, this is not the chronological order of the events in Danganronpa, but this is the way is meant to be played / watched.
Also, about the third game: Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, it has nothing to do with the anime or the other 2 games. You can play it after finishing the anime. I hope this was helpful.

when you get to this part, you have to watch future arc and despair arc at the same time, starting with the future arc first (future arc ep. 1, despair arc ep. 1, future arc ep. 2, despair arc ep. 2 etc.).
