Australian distributor Madaman Entertainment has updated their Facebook page to announce that they’ll be streaming Danganronpa, one of the summer 2013 anime series. They’re bringing out the first eight episodes right away so they can properly simulcast the remainder of it as it airs in Japan. Madman also indicated that they do have the home video rights for this release as well so that will be coming down the line.
FUNimation has the North American rights for the streaming of this series and has been running it since it began back in July.

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.
