DGR2 tells the story of the 77th class, which is then given more context/backstory in 3/Despair.

Even though 3/Despair happens chronologically before DGR2, I recommend playing DGR2 before watching 3/Despair. Which is the same class featured in DGR2. Tells the backstory of Hope's Peak Academy's 77th Class Either the show or the game will suffice, though I recommend the game.ĭGR2's story is critical to both sides of the DGR3 animes. Essentially all other canon media in the DGR universe builds upon the events of THH, so you'll want to start here. THH is the basis of the entire DGR story/franchise it is the first game, but not the first event of DGR chronologically. It's the sequel to Danganronpa 1, adding to the DGR universe beyond the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, complete with a whole new set of characters, scenery, and more.ĭanganronpa: The Animation is an anime adaptation of DGR1, AKA Trigger Happy Havoc, AKA THH. It is the second installment in the Danganronpa series, and a direct sequel to the 2010 game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. I think what is being missed here is the second game in the series, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Does the Wiki page confuse 'Danganronpa 2' with the manga/LN material?.

For the current series, does it matter which episode I watch first from each of the simultaneous ones (the 'Future Arc' started airing before the 'Despair Arc')?.

What order should I watch Danganronpa in?.

I am unable to find information on 'Danganronpa 2', though I would expect one to be a prequel to the first series, and the other to maybe be a side story or a post story.

The series is split into two simultaneously airing parts Side: Future, which serves as a conclusion to the 'Hope's Peak Academy' storyline, and Side: Despair, which serves as a prequel to Danganronpa 2

I'm not clear on if there is a second series anywhere, or if the number 3 was just added to the names of both the new series.Ī second anime series, titled Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, began airing in July 2016. The first series in the franchise is 'Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei'. This season there are 2 simultaneous Danganronpa shows, both of which are prefaced with 'Danganronpa 3'.
