New Danganronpa V3 Confirmed for 2016, Trailer Pics, Danganronpa 3 Anime (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter FluxWaveZ

Ugh. Ending the original story with an anime? I'm HIGHLY disappointed.
Is this going to be like a movie or an entire series? Either way, I'm not really looking forward to it considering how the last Danganronpa anime went. Weirdly enough, I'd rather watch voiced static 2D portraits over poorly animated scenes that have a time limit on how much story they can tell.
Also, what does that mean for localization? Are we going to have another disaster where we have to wait another year to get a dubbed version and all the original English VAs get replaced? Or will we not even get an official translation at all and have to rely on fansubs?

I thought they were place holder models. I don't want them becoming the new Sonic sidekicks.

Yes!
Hope it's crossbuy.
I hope so I wouldn't have to debate on which version to get if they did that!

Actually yeah, Danganronpa 3 being an anime might be slightly harmful for the franchise in the west. Besides, having the main story spread across many different mediums is usually the signs of a franchise being poorly managed.
A possible solution is some sort of Danganronpa 3/V3 bundle.

Part of the problem here comes with the rights-holders.
Though I personally believe that NISA should get into talks about securing the rights for the western release of the anime.
While DR The Animation came out before DR1 was even released in the west (which is why Funimation had those rights), it's a different situation this time around.

Cool that they're using the anime to fill in other parts of the story instead of doing a straight adaptation of the game.
Very hyped for both the game and the anime.

If FUNimation gets ahold of the rights of an English dub, and I have to hear Monokuma's laugh as, "hyuk hyuk hyuk" again, I will die.
Has NISA ever dubbed an anime before?
Oh yeah, plenty.
I think given the presence of the series now though, NISA will probably get the rights to the anime unless Funimation's Original deal was for the entire franchise's animated series, which doesn't seem likely.

I'm finding myself more intrigued by that other dude than the supposed MC. My body is saying "trust him he seems cool and nice" but my mind is telling me "don't even go there this never ends well".
So, I have a Vita, live in NA, want to get into the Danganronpa games, but prefer physical copies. What games am I looking for? I did a search and there seem to be multiple releases of the same games and for different locations. Is it just DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair I need to find?
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
Are all the US physical releases on Playstation Vita.

Not hugely excited about the anime, but then my interest in the surviving DR1 characters is fairly limited as it is.
The game will doubtlessly be glorious. Lead girl's design is among the franchise's best. With any luck this'll be the one where the MC kills someone and then tries to lie their way out of it.

Its nice to see more of Kyoko and damn, she looks really good. I still haven't completed the first game lol.
Can't wait for NDRV3 
Why not a Danganronpa 2.5 for the end of Hope Peak?
Even a spinoff like Danganronpa AE would have been good.
One thing i don't like of NDRV3 is that during exploration when you click on a character his/her "cardboard" doesn't jump or rotate or whatever, i will definitively miss that little touch.

So no anime adaptation of the second game?
Just Danganronpa 1->3?
Just Danganronpa 1->3?
Looks like it. But unless the second one would have gotten 24 episodes or more, I doubt it would have been a good adaption. Just look at the first, they skipped all Investigation parts and all character interaction that gave the characters actual personality.

I still don't believe that the new game is really unconnected to the previous two.

I like that DR3 poster, but I'm not sure how I feel about it being a separate story to the other two - if that really is the case.

It looks like it's an original story and not an adaptation of V3. The anime will probably be detailing what happened after 2, while V3 begins a whole new story.
I'm sure the last two chapters are filled with returning characters.

I just finished UDG and was feeling kind of bummed about the series, but V3 looks great, so I'm back on board. It was a short period of depression.
It would make no sense imo, why bothering making an anime to cut all the strings with DR1&2 if you have no intention to cut those strings?
DRV3 is made with PS4 owners in mind, developers don't want to alienate those who never played a DR game.

How many episodes for the danganronpa 3 anime ? This is important . the first danganronpa anime was a giant mess because this franchise needs a LOT of time for it to be possible.

Hoping the anime being an original story instead of an adaptation means it'll be better than the original mini-series. Tried to watch it and couldn't stand how rushed it all felt. Didn't help the English dub changed everybody's voice sides Naegi.

I'm sorta sad that "who survives Danganronpa" spoilers is about at the level of Aeris dies or the Persona 4 culprit. The promo art itself pretty much gives away the first game's survivors. It's one of the few series that I desperately try not to spoil, since who lives or dies is a huge part of the dramatic tension.
On the flip side, I wonder how big the bodycount will be at the end of the Anime. At this point I do expect a happy bloodless ending but... it just isn't Danganronpa without your favorite character dying.

It's probably just going to be a 1-3 episode OVA.

I'm happy they're closing off the storyline related to Hope's Peak via an anime, having another game revolving around the same characters would get really stale. That said it means I need to finish up Another Episode which I really don't want to do, even though I was probably near the end.

Oh snap, looks like my boi Hiro is back judging by the anime trailer. After he was a no-show in 2, I was worried the writers pretty much forgot about him, but he lives! I hope he's in V3 as well, because frankly I don't have much interest in the show. I watched a bit of the anime based around the first game and it seemed very... redundant. The characters moved even less in the animation than they did in the game!

Potentially alienating your existing fanbase by cutting ties trying to grab some other market is almost always a bad decision.
I wonder if they regret not making danganronpa 2 a standalone game. By making it a direct sequel its now going to be expected that every game is a sequel in the same world
Have they said that?
I figured they saw the new story as a reason to port
not port so design a new story
Then maybe they shouldn't have called it DRV3?
I don't know what they expect us to think, that's all.

So much Danganronpa content. SO MUCH SO GOOD
That anime sequel thing is probably gonna suck. But that older Kirigiri though. God DAMN
Oh god this can totally happen can it. This fucking series sometimes.

Closing out Hopes Peak with an anime? Fuck off. While I have no doubt whatsoever that
will have something to do with this new game, I'm one of the few who love the series for the recurring overarching plot line.

It sounds like they weren't actually just fucking with people by saying this is technically a 'New' Danganronpa V3. It's basically a soft reboot, a new storyline with a few loose connections to the original Hope's Peak story line. I get why they went with this decision though, since they're gonna be reaching a new, wider audience on PS4, so it's best to probably introduce those people to the franchise with a new game instead of one that is a straight up direct continuation of the Hope's Peak arc.
But I have no faith in that anime adaptation. No amount of more Kirigiri can possibly make it better. Also did anyone else notice in the bottom right of the poster there's a shattered crystal ball? I guess Naegi is being blamed for his murder in this anime sequel thing, and Kirigiri and Asahina have to prove his innocence.
This doesn't exclude later ports, but a DR3 connected to DR1&2 would have required DR1&2 hd before it release.
The anime is called Danganronpa 3, implying that's the direct sequel to Danganronpa 2, the game on the other hand is called New Danganronpa V(ersion?)3, with that "3" developers obviously wanted to make it clear that's the newest game, i agree that something like Danganronpa new & rebooted or something like that would have been better for clarity, but at the same time for newcomers it's already confusing understanding what each DR is with all those weird subtitles without another game with a weird subtitle.

All of this sounds AMAZING.
Something tells me that V3 is not unrealated at all, thats just a red herring. Maybe

And the anime looks cool as hell. Also love the music for both trailers.
