Danganronpa: The Campus of Hope and High School Students of Despair appears to follow the first game in the series, which was released for PSP in 2010 and then ported to smartphones last year.

Spike Chunsoft, the Japanese publisher behind games such as Shiren the Wanderer, Virtue’s Last Reward and Danganronpa, are trying to drum up overseas interest.

The anime will be directed by Seiji Kishi, who previously directed Persona 4: The Animation, and the script penned by Makoto Uezu.

Famitsu picked up on an interesting cameo in last night’s PlayStation Vita webcast.

Devil Survivor 2 isn’t the only videogame-to-anime adaptation that Seiji Kishi is directing next year.

Spike Chunsoft just released a port of the PSP murder mystery game Danganronpa for iOS. The first chapter is a free download.

Since event scenes in Gachitora all use the game’s character models, if you dress Kaji up like Mono-Bear, he’ll appear like that in event scenes, too.

The game continues to sell three months after release, says Spike CEO, Mitsutoshi Sakurai.

Gran Turismo 5, Danganronpa and Super Robot Wars L are on this week’s sales chart.

Nobuyo Oyama, 74, plays the creepy Mono-Bear in Danganronpa.

Monochrome bears, word battles, and a school where you have to kill to graduate? That’s the setting of Dangan-rompa, a genre bending game where players investigate crimes and enter into word bullet battles.

This new Danganronpa promotional video gives you a better look at the game’s quirky interrogation sequences.

Spike’s lightning speed logic game Dangan-ronpa takes place in a high school where you’re guaranteed success if you graduate, but the only way to make the grade is through murder.

This teaser trailer for Danganronpa: The Campus Wish and Hopeless High School Senior shows Makto blitzing through puzzles and shooting clues like bullets.
