A couple of Kotaku staffers love Danganronpa, the weirdly named Japanese visual novels/murder mysteries released on the Vita in the U.S. this year. I figured I should try one by year's end. I knew going in that I was in for a rough time. » 12/29/14 2:11pm 12/29/14 2:11pm

We at Kotaku are big fans of the Danganronpa series—in fact both 1 and 2 share a spot on our best Vita games list. Of course, there is actually a third Daganronpa game in Japan, Zettai Zetsubo Shoujo: Danganronpa Another Episode, and we're streaming it right now. Come join us! » 12/06/14 10:00pm 12/06/14 10:00pm

This past weekend, I began making my way through the newest in the Danganronpa franchise, Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo: Danganronpa Another Episode, so I was expecting violence, murder, and elaborate death traps. What I was not expecting? This teddy bear abomination. » 12/02/14 7:40am 12/02/14 7:40am

Danganronpa 2 hit Western shelves this week, and while it has an English voice track, which fellow Kotaku author Kirk Hamilton tells me is “decent with a few standouts,” the Japanese voice cast is—let me assure you—an anime fan’s dream. » 9/09/14 6:00am 9/09/14 6:00am

Danganronpa, one of the best games of 2014 so far, is on sale today for $20. I strongly recommend it to anyone who's into good stories. The sequel comes out next week—look out for our review then. » 8/26/14 4:27pm 8/26/14 4:27pm

When you think of the term "visual novel," you probably think of dating simulators stuffed full of anime tropes and hentai scenes. I am here to convince you that this is wrong. » 8/20/14 6:00pm 8/20/14 6:00pm

If you liked Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and weren't already psyched for the sequel, this new trailer should do the trick. See you soon, Monokuma. » 7/09/14 8:53pm 7/09/14 8:53pm

Good News, Danganronpa Fans: NIS America just announced that Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is coming to Vitas in North America and Europe this fall.

I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, and Bobby Knight has been a small part of my life for as long as I can remember. I don't think about the guy much any more, but every now and then, the red-sweatered shouter turns up in an unexpected place. That said, he has perhaps never turned up somewhere this unexpected. » 2/13/14 7:30pm 2/13/14 7:30pm
