Danganronpa
FUNimation has announced one of its pickups for the summer 2013 anime season with Danganronpa, which begins airing in Japan on July 4th. FUNimation has not set a start date for the series though, which is an anime adaptation of a game by the same name. It will be directed by Seiji Kishi (Persona 4: The Animation, Devil Survivor 2, and Magikano).
Plot concept: Hope’s Peak Academy is an exclusive private school that only accepts the best of the best. Graduates of this elite – yet enigmatic – institution have the world at their fingertips, but getting a cap and gown is easier said than done. The hallowed halls are ruled by the sadistic administrator Monobear, who declares that the only way to pass the class is by sending a fellow student home in a body bag.
If you can get away with murder, you’ll get your diploma. But if you’re caught red handed, you’ll find yourself on the receiving end of a deadly detention slip!
When your principal is psychotic and your finals are fatal, high school goes from being the best years of your life – to your last.
