How long will it take to dub the anime and localise the game?
:'( Oh well at least 2017 has a few things to look forward to already.A year at best.
A year at best.
So when it say that they'll be wrapping up the Hope's Peak Academy saga, do you think that'll include Fukawa and Komaru as well?
Noooooo, don't kill off Hiro. Please. I spent practically the whole second half of the first game dreading his (seemingly) impending death, only for it to never happen. Murder someone that isn't my favourite character!
they'll probably want to get it out asap considering how successful it's been.
ZTD is on another level, it was made FOR Western fans. That's why it will initially be released in English.This makes sense.
Hell look at ZE3, it got a NA confirmation immediately.

I'd agree that V3 will get a quick translation but ZE3 isn't an accurate comparison.
Do we actually know how well 999/VLR did in the west in comparison to Danganronpa?
That sounds like something the creator of 999 would write.bruh

Hey now, spoilersIt doesn't sound like it, it's something he's pretty much already done.

I'd honestly be surprised if there was ZERO connection to the rest of the series. It could take place 400 years in the future on some school space station or something, but there would still be 1 or 2 mentions of a past killing game or rebuilding society.
Danganronpa 3 and Danganronpa V3 is stupidly confusing. Just call it Danganronpa 64 and be done with it.
I've been going over it in my head and I'm still baffled that they're ending a story that started as 3 games as an anime instead of another game. I mean, they still make the games but not for the conclusion of this arc? I'm trying to figure out the rational as this could cause a lot of brand confusion.
Random thoughts/ideas:
- Maybe the designers were so hellbent on leaving Hope's Peak/Future Foundation's characters behind they handed it off to an anime studio to finish? (Unlikely)
- Maybe they didn't want to design a game with adult protagonists? (Reaching...)
- Maybe they think an anime of the old arc would be a better promotional for the new game than a game? (Eh...)
- Maybe they wrote the story and decided there just wasn't enough material for a full game? (Slightly more plausible)
- Maybe they wrote the story and decided they couldn't fit it into either the Class Trial or TPS genre (my personal guess.)
But who knows really. Not enough input.
Yep. Calling the anime Danganronpa 3 is so stupid when a Danganronpa 2 anime doesn't even exist. It hardly makes any sense.
Are brains being fried because people can't comprehend how a story can be expanded upon in another medium? Does Danganronpa 0 also confuse you because it's a novel, so it's hard to understand that it's the prequel of a game?
What? How are people this confused?
Danganronpa 1 (game) = Danganronpa 1 story
Danganronpa 1 (anime) = Adaptation of Danganronpa 1 story
Danganronpa 2 (game) = Danganronpa 2 story
Danganronpa 3 (anime) = Danganronpa 3 story
The numbers indicate that the stories follow each other in a successive timeline. The new anime is not called "Danganronpa 2" because it is not an adaptation of the Danganronpa 2 story.

I'm not confused, that doesn't make it any less stupid and potentially confusing for others.
Where can I read DR0?

It's extremely straightforward. Like, the most straightforward thing they could have done.
What would your less confusing solution be to signify that this anime is the direct continuation of the DR1 and DR2 story arc?
The only reason I don't agree is because there's a third mainline entry being made alongside the anime. Either the anime could have a non-numbered subtitle or the new game could, but both have 3 in the title. V3 doesn't scream "reboot" to me either.
There's definitely potential for confusion there for those not in the know like us.
I would have made sure a Danganronpa 2 anime existed before moving onto a part 3. Not everyone is into both anime and videogames.

All that Danganronpa goodness, and the chance thatis not the main antagonist anymore makes me very happyJunko
Interesting bits at the end of the anime trailer:
"So, Naegi.. the fate of humanity is riding on this next round of 'mutual killing'."
"This time, it'll be the final battle between you and me!"
The language used in these (plus the background) suggests it's Monokuma speaking, though the "boku" in the latter means there's an outside chance it's.Nagito
Ah shit.Oh, duh, now I know why that last line made me think. It uses "kimi" as the second-person pronoun, whereas Monokuma almost always uses "omae". So yeah, more likely him.Nagito

I agree with that, but realistically, we know that wouldn't have been a great solution. DR3 has to be called that way because it's the conclusion to everything in the HPA saga up to this point.
V3 needs to be called that way because it's the third game in the mainline series, and presumably is going to still take place in the same universe along the same timeline.
It's not that complicated. It's like saying that people would be so confused about when Danganronpa: Another Episode takes place in the timeline because there are no numbers in the title, but just reading a quick official summary and they know what's up.
It is a little confusing. Not necessarily to die hard fans, but I can see a lot of confusion from the more casual fans cropping up due to this.
They could have very easily called the anime something other than Danganronpa 3, that still signified the end of the Hope's Peak story line.
Danganronpa: The End Of Hope's Peak Academy
Done.

This would have been the better option.
What makes no sense to me is why does the new game have v3 in it? It's a new story in the series pretty much. Just call it New Danganronpa or something, or give that game the subtitle.
Because, unlike Another Episode, V3 is not a spin-off. It's a mainline title, following Danganronpa 2 and probably taking place after it on the same timeline.
The game would get less attention and people would probably be similarly confused to how they apparently are now if V3 was actually "Danganronpa: [Subtitle]." In terms of marketing, it's simply a better decision to have the 3 in there but, in order to differentiate it from its predecessors, they added the "V" and explicitly titled it "NEW Danganronpa V3: A NEW Semester for Everyone's Killing Life" to really make it clear that "Yo, this is new."
I wonder if all future Danganronpa games are gonna have a V before the number now. Let's say when they make a Danganronpa 4, is that the sequel to DR3 the anime or DRV3 the game?
Sure the actual content will make that obvious (we already know DR3 is the end to the Hope's Peak story) but it will be odd going from 1 to 2 to V3 to 4. Not a big deal though.
