Danganronpa Writer Says 2's Characters' Stories Ended With Game

Danganronpa 2 anime

Kazutaka Kodaka discussed why the anime adaptation is jumping straight to 3 and why there isn't an a planned anime adaptation of the Danganronpa 2 game.

The characters for the Danganronpa anime were announced, it seems. The reason we skipped an anime of 2 is because we wanted to show you a new Danganronpa. 2's story ended in 2, and those characters' stories ended there. [This] weekend's promo video isn't a surprise announcement for an anime of Danganronpa 2 or something. It's something related to 3. Well, maybe it'd be nice if we could have the characters from 2 have some kind of spin-off like Dangan Kirigiri and Dangan Togami. Personally, I don't really feel like writing it so maybe someone else can do it... It's not like I hate the characters from 2, but for example, I can't write a "what happened after" for the characters of 2 so easily. After all, I'd have to dig really deep down. It's also impossible to rebuild the title from zero as a different work. I don't want to end this in cheap fan service. They're characters I created, so there's no way I'd hate them. It just really ticks me off when people say "But you skipped 2!" or "You really hate 2's characters!" all the damn time. I don't hate them, but I'm not going to write their story, and I CAN'T write their story.
