The official website for the upcoming Danganronpa 3 -The End of Kibōgamine Gakuen- (Danganronpa 3 -The End of Hope's Peak Academy-) television anime began streaming a new promotional video for the anime on Wednesday. The video previews the characters from both the "Mirai Hen" (Side: Future) and "Zetsubō Hen" (Side: Despair) arc of the show.

The anime's "Mirai Hen" will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 11 at 11:00 p.m., followed by the "Zetsubō Hen" on July 14 11:30 p.m. Both arcs will also run every week on the BS11 channel. Funimation will stream the series as it airs in Japan.

The television anime series will be the conclusion of the "Hope's Peak Academy" series' original story. As a result, two new Danganronpa 3 episodes will premiere every week. "Mirai Hen" will focus on the characters from the first game installment, while the "Zetsubō Hen" will tell the story of the characters of the Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair game.
