NBCUniversal Entertainment has announced at AnimeJapan 2016 that the upcoming TV anime Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen will be split in two parts. The first part, Mirai-hen, will begin airing in July 2016.

Mirai-hen features the main characters of the original Danganronpa game, which was adapted into a TV anime in 2013. The second part, Zetsubou-hen, will feature characters from 77th graduating class of Kibougamine Gakuen, who are featured in the Super Danganronpa 2 PlayStation Portable game. An airing date for Zetsubou-hen has not been scheduled.

An official website opened on Thursday with character designs from the Mirai-hen series. A new promotional video released at AnimeJapan reviews the story of the Danganronpa franchise.

Wow so maybe I can watch Nagito Komaeda later, yes. Kirigiri look more sexy and mature now. So maybe it's split cour. I hope LERCHE didn't dissapoint me again like the first series.

okay....not really understand it well, but we will get 2 series ? Mirai-hen and Zetsubou-hen. if they do that then they need to adapt Zetsubou-hen first then Mirai-hen am i right ? because Zetsubou-hen is from the second game and Mirai-hen is from the third game. it will be fucking weird if they start Mirai-hen first.

well, if there is no connection in the story between the second game and the thrid game i guess it makes sense....tbh i don't play the game. but if there are some connection in the story, i hope they adapt Zetsubou-hen first.

Edit : i should watch the pv before posting -_-"
the PV is so confusing, so what is that 2 part stuff ?

Zetsubou-hen

is that from the second game or a new one ?

That PV is full of spoilers for the second game and I don't even know Japanese. Not a problem but I feel sorry for anime onlies.
Netherless, I think we may find out more about the remanants of despair while they were still sane. Hopefully, Nanami will be back, or at least make an appearance. Otherwise, I will riot to no end. Same for Izuru.

Why would you? It's summarizing what happened in the 2nd game for the ones who haven't played it. For example: for me it's very useful because I will just watch the 3rd season of the anime without playing the game

Well, it sums it up in a way that'll just leave anime onlies confused. It's like spoiling plot points in order but not actually giving the story away in general. If I was an anime only, and I understood Japanese, I'd just stand in front of my computer like "..What?"

Still wish they would adapt the second game. But oh well, I'll give this a chance. Kinda odd it's divided into two parts though.

that's kinda a weird way to divide it up. I wouldn't have thought there be a need to separate the characters from the two games.

Zetsubou-hen is just the story on how the characters from the second game fell into despair. Mirai-hen is just the danganronpa 3 main story and its coming out first in July while zetsubou-hen is just coming out later with no confirmed release date.

More Danganronpa is always welcome, even if I've not got the faintest idea what they're actually doing with this. Split-cour perhaps?

More to the summer list. Not so much of a fan of the series, just think it's pretty nice.
And the rule to follow the next season for the series still existed for me and kinda interested how it will end.

Hmm... okay I'm a bit confused here. So are we jumping from Danganronpa 1 to Danganronpa 3?

Since it does said "Taking place immediately after the events of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair", does this mean anime-watcher have to play the 2nd game before watching the anime?

So from what i can gather is that the 2 season will be Originals where the 1st one will be about basically the 1st survivors & Future fundation vs the world,
while the 2nd one is more like a prequel of the second game explaining the moment when, how and why the Characters from the second game.

and then to make things complete, there is a 3rd Danganronpa game in the making which is not involved with the Anime and previous games right?

or am I completely stupid?

If you're interested in seeing such in advance, I highly recommend you play or watch a playthrough of Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, the midquel side-story game. ;)

Why would you? It's summarizing what happened in the 2nd game for the ones who haven't played it. For example: for me it's very useful because I will just watch the 3rd season of the anime without playing the game

That's a stupid thing to do, considering the second part is dedicated to the cast of the second game.

You will need the play the second game to have an understanding of both parts. The first part happens due to the events of the 2nd game, and the second part is a prequel(?) to the second game.

Well, AS LONG AS THERE IS KOMAEDA I'M ALL FOR IT.

It takes place even before the first game. So probably prequel to everything.

Confused as hell. Glad these games are out/releasing on PC so I can play them before this airs otherwise I'd be lost not having a second season. Should be good anyway.

Another round of incredibly stupid super duper highschool kids with horrendous character design.

Never played any of the games but i honestly don't feel the need to considering how bad the anime was.

@Black_Bandit21 The story writer for the games has stated that the DR3 anime is like a thank you present to the fans of the games. My guess is that the anime will assume you've played DR1 and SDR2, so there will probably be no summary and lots of references you won't understand. Even if there was any sort of summary, the main focus of the second season would be on the cast's origin stories, so it'd be short and much less impressive than if you experienced it fully from the game.

If you can't get the games on steam, there's complete playthroughs on youtube of the english and japanese dub. It's a bit of a time investment but knowing the story of the second game will definitely be crucial in understanding the upcoming anime. Increase the speed of the videos in the options if you have to, though it'd take a bit away from experiencing the voice acting.
