ABEMA, the "new future TV," will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the highly popular mystery action "Danganronpa" series by streaming all three anime series for free over three consecutive weeks, starting July 5, 2026 (Sun).

The "Danganronpa" series is based on the highly popular mystery action game by Spike Chunsoft. It depicts a death game story set in a closed-off academy, where students with extraordinary talents, known as "Ultimate" talents, engage in a life-or-death struggle. Since the release of the first game, "Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc," in 2010, its gameplay of uncovering the truth in class trials and its profound story themed around "hope" and "despair" have garnered significant attention, leading to adaptations in TV anime, stage plays, and more. Its unique world and shocking story developments continue to captivate a large fanbase.

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the "Danganronpa" series, this free marathon streaming event will broadcast all episodes of the TV anime over three weeks. On July 5, 2026 (Sun), "Danganronpa The Animation" (13 episodes), the origin of the series, will be streamed. This will be followed by "Danganronpa 3 - The End of Hope's Peak High School -" Future Arc (12 episodes) and Despair Arc (12 episodes), a two-part production, on July 12 (Sun) and July 19 (Sun), respectively. All broadcast episodes will be available for free for one week after their initial broadcast.
