Intro

















Do you want to start with Danganronpa titles in the right order? This guide is here to help you with that.
Anime in order
Warning:
If you watch the anime alone, you will get major spoilers for other games. Proceed at your own risk. I don't recommend it, but the choice is yours.

Anime titles in order:
1.
''Danganronpa: The Animation''

2.
''Danganronpa 3: Future Arc''
+
''Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc''
Note: Watch 'Future' episode 1, then 'Despair' episode 1. After that, 'Future' episode 2 + 'Despair' episode 2. Continue this way for all episodes. They are all complimentary to each other.

3.
''Danganronpa 3: Hope Arc''

2.
Game: ''Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair''.
Note: There is no anime adaptation for this.

3.
Game: ''Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls''.
A few characters from Ultra Despair Girls appear in Future, so it may benefit you to play this first, but it's not a dealbreaker to skip.

Note: The game was only available for 9 months, before online servers were turned off on November 13th, 2015 and the game was removed from both iOS and Android app stores. The game is not obligatory to experience the story in chronological order.

4.2
(Optional)
Game: ''Cyber Danganronpa VR The Class Trial''.
It is a virtual reality demo of ''Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc'', where players take part in a class trial similar to those of the original games.
Platform: PS4. Game is a demo.

Hmm, I've heard from other people that Danganronpa Zero should be read first before playing the Ultra Despair Girls. Is this true? Thanks!

"I would argue that playing DR:AE before playing DR2 makes more sense simply because of how AE ends."
Chronologically DR:AE is set before DR2, but playing AE first would kinda spoil DR2.

tysm! youre a life saver

I would argue that playing DR:AE before playing DR2 makes more sense simply because of how AE ends. The ending scene with Junko, Nagito, and Izuru implies that the game leads into DR2.

Because clearly the Remnants of Despair are still active, as a lot of characters and notes point out.

so u say i should watch the danganronpa anime before i play the third game?

Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc is before the events of DRV2 and DRV1(Basically before everything happened) and Future arc is after DRV2. so watch them seperately instead. Also, Nagito and the World Destroyer 2.5 is happening during Daganronpa 3 Future Arc(Episode 11). Danganronpa Gaiden is after Ultra Despair Girls. Danganronpa The Animation is not canon, The game is canon.

Do a mix between game, anime, and novels because between 1 and 2 it is highly recommended to read danganronpa zero and before playing another episode it is recommended to read danganronpa kirigiri, etc.
