Danganronpa: The Animation follows the story for the first game in the series, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

Both Trigger Happy Havoc and its direct sequel Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair are available now on PlayStation Vita. NIS America recently announced that it will be localizing the series’ third-person shooter spin-off called Danganronpa: Another Episode this fall, which we recently got some hands-on time with.

Developer Spike Chunsoft is currently working on the third game in the series, but it is still in the early stages of development, and has been compared to Back to the Future.
