Danganronpa Series in Order

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''

4.
''Danganronpa 2.5 Nagito Komaeda Sekai no Hakaimono'' (aka. ''Super Danganronpa 2.5: Nagito Komaeda and the Destroyer of the World'').

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: While the game is set in between Danganronpa 1 & 2, because of spoilers you should play it 3rd (the way I ranked it here).

Japan exclusive. For iOS and Android devices
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.

[Capitan]

Nah, 2.5 is the one that spoils hope arc. The reveal is way better if you watch Hope before 2.5

[FlamingTP]

What have they done to Monokuma?!?! the anime version is nothing like the game voice.

[MakoSipper]

Hope Arc kinda spoils DR 2.5, I'd watch 2.5 before.
