>It is not an anime adaptation of any game, but a completely original new story supervised by the series creator Kazutaka Kodaka. The anime is intended to be the conclusion of the "Hope's Peak Academy" storyline within the Danganronpa franchise, as the upcoming New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing will focus on new environment and new characters. It tells the backstory of the Remnants of Despair and how they were corrupted.
The two arcs will air concurrently with one another starting in July 2016.
>The anime will split into two Arcs: Future volume and Despair volume
Then I can watch it without having played Super Danganronpa 2, right?
Aiden Butler
>Then I can watch it without having played Super Danganronpa 2, right? You can but why would you do that? especially when the pc torrent is already out.
Nathaniel Hill
No, that seems like a terrible idea. Also, please don't tell me you've only watched the original. The anime was a butchered mess.
Cooper Turner
It is? Great, thanks user. I have been away for some days so I'm not aware of some things.
James Nguyen
Actually no, you retards DR2 introduces shit that will be used through both volumes (like the Hope Cultivation Plan, and the Future Foundation. Also, the members of Ultimate Despair) I dread the shitposts by animeonlys confused because they didn't play the games and yet, in an act of maximum retardation, decided to watch an anime intended to be watched AFTER you've cleared the games
Ayden Butler
No, user I have played the game in my PSP. Posting best girl.
Henry Miller
Well, the anime sucked shit but it did hit all the necessary plot beats.
Juan Perez
>Actually no, you retards Actually it is.
Danganronpa 3 is a midquel between the first and the second game. You CAN watch it without playing SDR but it's highly RECOMMENDED to play SDR for all the references it would make.
Dominic Flores
They were in virtual reality all along.
Connor Williams
Ok, thanks anons I will play the second game before watching it. I'm not an animeonly faggot I was just waiting to get my DR2 free cause I'm a poor fag.
Matthew Harris
Who failed to protect Naegi's smile?
Asher Roberts
>The anime was a butchered mess.
like that matters, the source material is fucking garbage anyways you faggot
Owen Phillips
>I'm not an animeonly faggot I was just waiting to get my DR2 free cause I'm a poor fag. Don't worry. The PC version torrent is already out for a long time. Enjoy SDR and keep away from threads to avoid spoiler.
Also Chinami best girl. Her mole makes my dick diamond
Anthony Wood
What the fuck are you talking about? The events in DR3 are directly after DR2 since Naegi is being busted for not wanting to kill the despairfags. Just pirate it if you have to. The premise of the Despair volume itself spoils the twist of the second game so you better get to it
Cameron Murphy
Okay seriously? Do you guys get off for spoiling the game/story/movie for people? I don't understand this mentally.
>Future Volume: >Makoto Naegi and his fellow 78th Class classmates, having defeated Junko Enoshima, have joined the Future Foundation. >Joined Directly after DR1 but before SDR because in SDR they're already FF members
>Despair Volume: >A boy from the reserve course, Hajime Hinata, had longed for talent. An occurrence will soon be pre-destined between his future and the school's guidance to which he doesn't expect. Road to Ikusaba
Evan Hernandez
>DR1 >cute, likable (even if somewhat plain) MC >DR2 >snarky, pessimistic, detestable MC How does this happen?
Oliver Moore
Will be as bad as the first anime.
Christian Jones
Oh fuck. Are we going to see the Remnants enter despair mode and the first killing spree?
Hunter Wood
Please kill yourself to spare us from having to deal with your shit taste The midquel is Another Episode DR3 Future Arc takes place after DR2 and it begins with Makoto being punished for his actions in DR2 Despair Arc is about the DR2 cast's days in Hope's Peak
Asher Miller
>Character design in Dangan 1, 2 and Another Episode is godly >Character design in Dangan 3 anime is shit-tier
What went wrong?
Bentley Hughes
Wait, so there will be no game for DR3?
Cameron Kelly
>Will be as bad as the first anime. I like to think that anime studios can learn from their mistakes. I have HOPE for this series.
Robert Clark
That wiki is wrong One of the recent ANN articles about it said the Final Killing Game that's the focus of the Future arc begins as the FF is reunited to decide how Makoto should be punished for helping the Ultimate Despairs
Isaiah Anderson
Impossible when this is an anime original project supervised by the games' writer instead of a rushed adaptation with too little episodes to tell it's story
William Harris
To somewhat remedy the damage done by that spoiling asshat, there is actually a way better twist behind that one
Eh Ill watch it even if I dont care that much for the DR universe, should have been a one shot thing only IMO but hey its mystery anime and thats always lacking
I also want to say it cant be worse but Ive been disappointed in ways I never thought were possible in the past
Jaxon Thompson
timeline says it happens after 2
Connor Cruz
H O P E O P E
Kevin Green
If you haven't played the games, play them Else, stay away from this show There's PC torrents out for both games. You have no excuse
Thomas Wilson
Yeah, I know. I've beaten both games. My question was in general. Why do people feel like spoiling the story for others? Wasn't the feeling of experiencing the twist the first time magical? Why don't you want others to experience that same feel?
Charles Baker
Of course Ive played the games why do you think I havent, even read a LN based on them that I found to be quite terrible.
Xavier Martin
Well damn. My fault for sticking to one source of information. My bad.
Ahhhhh such despair!
Carson Cruz
I'm still mad Byakuya isn't gonna be in it.
all these new characters and fucking HAGAKURE gets to be in it but Byakuya doesn't. I just hope Kirigiri can carry the FF story. The despair story will probably still be pretty cool.
Asher Howard
I prefer the extra death scene
Thomas Gomez
Because you said you didn't care that much for the DR universe, which I understood as you had watched the first show, and weren't interested in the games
Adrian Sullivan
I just think it should have ended with the first game.
Colton Lee
There were a lot of loose ends after the ending of the first game. I also found the second game to be better. I enjoyed more of the characters in the second game than I did the first.
Brayden Scott
yeah see you in anime land kiddo, have fun with your shitty cartoon
Liam Myers
Of course there were because the story was never meant to be serious, it was crazy and nonsensical. Thats why the sequels trying to rationalize things kinda put me off
Logan Howard
I can certainly see why you'd think that and I think that's a valid opinion to have, but even in the first game I looked at the story as serious with nonsensical fun elements to it that just required some suspension of disbelief.
Brody Gonzalez
>all these new characters and fucking HAGAKURE gets to be in it Hopefully it'll correct the first game and kill him.
Isaac Thompson
>decided to watch an anime intended to be watched AFTER you've cleared the games I played DR and that anime added NOTHING to it at all. There's no reason to watch it after playing the games.
Jack Howard
I mean I dont know but it feels like the creators were forced to continue the series because it got popular, the whole despair thing is just dumb when you try and make a serious story out of it. But the second game is better in writing and gameplay so I guess I shouldn't complain.
Evan Jenkins
I doubt it. The only reason you'd kill a member of the original cast is for dramatic value, so him and Hina are pretty much safe because who fucking cares about them. I could see them killing off Makoto or Kirigiri though.
Aiden Rivera
I'm ready for all bullying scenes.
After all, I want to bully Saionji so much. I want to scold her to tears and throw her into pool. I want to take her gummies and eat them in front of her. Then I'll force-feed her with lemon-flavored gummies, palm after palm. I want to call her a stinky and take her panties so she has to going commando for the rest of the trip. I want to mock her inability to put her kimono by herself, so I'll strip her every once in a while, yelling what one day, she'll be glad to be able to dress up herself. Also, I'll take her kitty hairpins, making her long blonde hair cover her private parts. And when I'll give kimono back to her, I'll make sure to put Mr. Ants in every single pleat and Mr. Crab in her panties.
And when finally she snaps and try to bully me by any means possible, I'll spank her in front of everyone until she'll like it. And when she'll come to me, begging for another spanking, I'll mock her again, then spank her as if my life depends on it, laughing on her moans full of pleasure. Mere seconds before her climax, I'll throw her into pool once again, leaving her in her aroused state.
Lucas Hall
To a certain extent I agree with you on the despair thing being a little dumb when you try to make it serious. Thats mostly what I'm talking about when I say the story requires suspension of disbelief if you're gonna take it seriously. Disregarding that it can stand seriously on its own pretty well.
I guess the despair thing works best if you just try to interpret that part of the story non-literally.
John Price
So who's the bad guy Sup Forums? I don't think it'll be Chisa, that'd be too obvious.
I think it'll be the guy who she is loyal too, they'll just hype her up to be the villain and then BAM, backstabbed and killed by the white haired guy.
Josiah Gonzalez
Naegi you fucking lucky bastard.
Jordan Murphy
Does anyone actually think this will be good?
Jack Harris
Probably. Don't think it'll be worse than the adaptation.
Sebastian Smith
I'm talking about the new DR3 shows coming in summer. If you've played the games, there's no reason to watch the shitty rushed adaptation of the first game (unless you desperately want to see the characters animated) I don't even know how you thought I was talking about the shitty DR1 adaptation in that post
Carter Hernandez
I'd rather some quality time with baconhands but that's not a bad way to go.
Isaac Watson
Man I don't give a shit about the DR1 cast I want something with the DR2 cast that isn't a prequel
Nolan James
Well, you might get something in the future. Kodaka said that while he himself doesn't want to write anything about the DR2 cast taking place after the events of DR2, he's open to other writers doing it (Like how Narita wrote IF)
Caleb Martinez
The one where best girl is a computer program?
Hudson Anderson
Monokuma says there's a traitor who kills someone every time they fall asleep, but I predict that it's a lie. In truth, the sleeping drug is actually a drug that makes them lose control of themselves, kill someone and forget what happened. Also, Monokuma is controlled by Monaka.
Levi Murphy
Future Foundation has no taste in clothing.
Samuel Martinez
DR3 is this anime. The next DR game is called New Danganronpa V3.
Ethan Jackson
According to wikipedia there will be 2 series airing simultaneously, so 2 episodes a week. One is mirai-hen and the other is zetsubo-hen
Mirai-hen takes place after danganronpa 2 and follows the characters from the first game
Zetsubo-hen takes place before danganronpa 2 and follows the characters from the second game
Nicholas Diaz
No. Absolutely no hope in it. The setting only works when you know bare minimum about it. The even happened and world gone down in a flash. Keep it that way. Character interactions and trials is what was always intresting about games.
Camden Peterson
Why was 2 so bad? It tried to hard to be good but 1 was just so much better.
Caleb Watson
All this series has going for it is characters, and in that regard, 2 has 1 beat by a long shot
Christian Williams
2 was better than 1.
Isaac Edwards
No restraint. To them it's like plucking a tulip from the ground because nothing prevents them from doing it
Blake Martin
2 is a lot better honestly >god-tier rival who's undpredictable and keeps you on your toes the whole game >cases are a lot bigger >ebin twists >unique locations
I would give 1 the edge if Byakuya went his own way the whole game and actively undermined Naegi's efforts.
Daniel Foster
The only thing 1 has that's better than 2 is Hangsman's Gambit
Ryan Sanchez
But 2 had the IMPROVED Hangsman's Gambit
Ryder Nelson
Because it tried to copy first in every possible way and then justify all the bullshit by virtual reality and Junko A.I. setting it all up to make them repeat incidents from first game. It didn't felt quite right because it was open space instead of confined space. And almost every murder was done for the greater good. All this shit felt way off. Also, no Box 15, but very shitty variation instead.
Elijah Hill
>shoot letters that appear on screen for 2 seconds (game makes it easier by giving you first and last letters from the beginning) >vs. catch moving letters, merge the ones you need and destroy the ones you don't Objectively speaking, Improved HG is better.

>tfw held out for 4 years without letting myself spoil it or watch a lets play and managed to play it blindly How does it feel to lose to despair spoilerfags?
Angel Hall
Bully-kun seems to never miss a thread.
Jacob Moore
Meh. I bet the ebin despair lady will be behind everything again.
Asher Garcia
Can't wait to find out what kind of new minigames DRv3 will have.
Matthew Lopez
I don't know if I can't wait or if I can't "wait."
Elijah Young
I would have told Ibuki we were lovers when she had the gullible disease.
Why is she so perfect?
Jaxon Harris
I'm curious about Hope boy's antics in despair arc. Considering SDR2 was supposed to be then when they joined the academy, that means he was already an insane fuck.
Adrian Miller
>airing two shows in the same season. How you want your DR3 lucksters?
Austin Howard
>dickbiter >perfect
Luis Allen
I want Togami in this too only so that they can kill him off though
>And almost every murder was done for the greater good Just 4th and 5th ones. Hell the 5th one is arguable even.
1st one was driven by the killer wanting to so their mother again 2nd was driven by revenge/loyalty to another person 3rd was driven by despair/foreshadowing a fact about the cast that gets revealed a lot later on
Connor Phillips
Nigger did you look at the poster? His crystal ball is broken on the floor. He's totally the first victim and/or the mastermind who's played retarded since the killing school life.
Kirigiri or Naegi are definitely dead though. Actually really hyped for this.
Luke Carter
I kinda don't want to see Sonia fall in despair. She was one of the nicest people in the game, and never once tried to commit a murder, and even offered herself in Chiaki's place since she couldn't bear to watch her get killed.
Seeing her start to get influenced by Junko is going to be painful.
Connor Martinez
She's into the occult and serial killers + thanks to her royal upbringing and the responsibilities attached to that she was unable to enjoy growing up if anything she'll probably be one of the first ones Junko gets to
Christopher Mitchell
Come on user, it'll be FUN! I hope they show her returning to Novaselic just to betray and kidnap her parents.
Isaac Anderson
I can't believe they killed off Makoto
Samuel Cooper
All I hope is that I get to watch it with you faggots, I love this series way too much to be alone in the threads by myself. I don't think I'll be able to mentally prepare myself. And hearing TARAKO as Monokuma is gonna be really fucking weird.
I also guess both OPs are being done by collab groups, so I can't listen to any previous works they did and get an accurate feel for how they'll be. I just hope they're good, a shows OP and ED can actually enhance a show if they're really great, and detract from it if not.
Adam Hernandez
Don't worry user, i'll be most likely following these threads too since i like the series myself. We'll do it for the great for hope awaits at the end of it all.
Anthony Harris
You and I are one in the same. Finishing a game blind after waiting so many years for it really is an experience unlike any other.
Camden Cox
If that happens it'll be later on. The death in that manga is either fake or it's following some different continuity. They sure as hell wouldn't spoil the first major twist in a hyped upcoming anime like that.
Luis Robinson
He never, ever changed. AE has him acting the same as always.
Kayden Clark

Owen Martinez
Ryota Mitarai, the ultimate animator, is the most suspicious. He's in FF as a former member of class 77, but the Ryota Mitarai there was the ultimate impostor. He also "wants to fill the world with hope" and the last time we got that we had Nagito.
Adrian Murphy
Enough of that, the threads on Sup Forums have been nothing but Komaeda posting and people flipping out whenever it eventually works. Stop enabling shitposting. Yeah I get its Sup Forums and Sup Forums is a shithole but no need to bring it here.
Carter Morales
Nidai is the only one I can't think of a reason for going maximum despair
