Ooh boy this is a fun one.... also keep in mind I'm not familiar with the games at all so idk where to put them.

As far as the shows go, the "proper watch order" would be
Danganronpa: the Animation
and then... 1st ep of Danganronpa 3:Future side
1st ep of Danganronpa 3: Despair side
etc etc
and then Danganronpa 3: Hope Side

((if you're lazy you could always go future->despair->hope but the alternating method is better cos events in the first two series are actually sorta timed together))

You can watch them in this order:

1. Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation

2. Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai/Zetsubou-hen

3. Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Kibou-hen

I would recommend watching one episode of Mirai-hen, and then watching one of Zetsubou (just my recommendation). c:

i guess you could watch the release dates for the shows and guess the order by yourself?

Its very important if you know what happens in the games Danganronpa 2 and Ultra Despair Girls, you should watch the youtuber Oni Black Mages Recaps of those two games so you know what happens in them.

The order should be

1# Danganronpa the animation
2# Oni Black Mages Danganronpa 2 Recap
3# Oni Black Mages Ultra Despair Girls Recap
4# Future arc Ep 1, Despair arc Ep 1, Future arc Ep 2, Despair arc Ep 2, etc.
5# and finally Hope arc

You should watch the walkthrough of SDR2 too.

I highly recommend you DON'T watch the anime of the first game (i.e https://myanimelist.net/anime/16592/) unless you watch a really rushed, watered down version
Look up dangan ronpa let's play on youtube instead

By only watching anime you can't understand the plot.Soo all the posts above me are incorrect.

1.
Game:Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Anime:Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation

For start you have to choice if you want to play the game or watch a wt on youtube or just want to watch anime.The biggest downside of anime is the lack of characterization because of limited episode.Sometimes you don't care about characters.If you have time I recommend playing the game first.

2.
Game:Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair

There is no anime for this one so you have to play or watch it on youtube.I strongly recommend that you should play it by yourself.

3.
Game:Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

For this one it is only available for PS Vita.So if you don't have one again you must watch it on youtube.This one is a must to understand the story.

4. Optional
Light Novel:Danganronpa/Zero

İt's like a side story but again to fully understand the plot you should read it.

5.

Anime:Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen "Mirai-hen/Zetsubou-hen"

Now this is a bit complicated.They relased in same season.Way to watch both of the anime is:

Watch Mirai-hen episode 1 then Zetsubou-hen episode 1 Mirai-hen episode 2 then Zetsubou-hen episode 2 etc.

6.
OVA:Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Kibou-hen

Conclusion for Danganronpa 3.

ah but you see
you don't watch Danganronpa
you play Danganronpa
you play Danganronpa 2
you play Danganronpa Another Episode
you marvel at how brilliant of a series it is
and then you wait for New Danganronpa V3
because there is nothing (good) to watch

Here's the order:
1. Danganronpa (game) or instead Danganronpa the animation
2. Danganronpa zero (light novel) and also Danganronpa another episode (game)
3. Super Danganronpa 2 (game - u can find the game play in youtube)
4. Danganronpa 3 including mirai-hen, zetsubou-hen, and kibou-hen. Well i recommend u to watch them in order when they were on-going state as from first ep of mirai-hen then first ep zetsubou-hen then second ep mirai to zetsubou so-on until the last to kibou-hen
5. (Optional) danganronpa if, danganronpa kirigiri, danganronpa gaiden, and bunch of danganronpa spin off

Game fans who say don't watch the anime, or complain about the anime to people who want to watch it are so annoying, it's so unnecessary. People can enjoy whatever they want.

I have played the games and love them, so don't pretend that's the only reason I'm saying this,

If you want to fully understand the story, then you should watch and play the games:

1). Danganronpa The Animation (anime) or Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc (game)
2). Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls (game)
3). Super Danganronpa 2 (game)
4). Super Danganronpa 2.5 (anime)
5). Danganronpa Future Arc and Despair Arc (anime) (watch 1 episode from the Future Arc, then one from Despair Arc just like they aired)
6). Danganronpa Hope Arc

If you are not interested in the games, just ignore them and watch the anime, but in this case I will recommed you watching Super Danganronpa 2.5 after Danganronpa 3.

Yeah, this is probably the least time consuming way to do it. Oni black summarises a +20 hour long game into around half an hour by only focusing on the plot points.

Here is the playlist of the three games, you can probably watch the 2 Danganronpa 3 anime right after watching these videos.

The anime watch order is

1. Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation
2. Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen
3. Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Kibou-hen
4. Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen

Mirai is a DIRECT CONTINUATION of Season 1 after Naegi gets out of Hopes Peak Academy. Notice the main characters are Naegi, Asahina, and Kirigiri.

Afterwards, watch Kibou, Kibou is the shared ending between Mirai and Zetsubou, but is the FINAL CONCLUSION of Mirai so Kibou must be watched next. Don't worry about the show up of new characters in Kibou, you won't be confused, because all you have to know is that they are the Despair Class (Remnants) that Naegi saved, they basically come to help Naegi after the end of Zetsubou. Who they are would be further explained in Zetsubou.

Lastly, watch Zetsubou, because Zetsubou is a side story of the PAST of the Despair Class (Remnants) that Naegi saved leading up to his arrest at the start of Mirai.

1st- Danganronpa The Animation- Follows the main protagonist Makoto Naegi as he and his friends try to survive classroom murder.

2nd- Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc- Tells the story before Naegi came to the school and how it all began with the killing.

3rd- Danganronpa 3 Future Arc- Takes place few years after the events of Danganronpa The Animation

so in timeline order its:
despair arc
animation
future arc
Nagato 2.5 thing
hope arc

but I would probably watch the animation before the despair arc because the animation is different from danganronpa 3(the other arcs) but i think that you can watch a full arc because that's what I did. but the only real rule is to watch the future arc before the hope arc. They are right after each other so yeah. otherwise, you should be fine

I've watched the first sesion and the complete future arc before i found this thread. Never play'd a game before and never watch'd the despair/hope arc...

At least i wonder how anyone does such strange and unlogical things hahaha... I fucked up.
