Funimation Announce Danganronpa English Dub Cast
It has been a long time coming really with newer series getting the dubbed treatment before the ever popular anime series Danganronpa. Based on the Spike Chunsoft PSP/PlayStation Vita game Danganronpa originally aired in the 2013 summer season, described by Funimation a
t its Sakura-Con panel as:
“Hope’s Peak Academy is an exclusive private school that only accepts the best of the best. Graduates of this elite – yet enigmatic – institution have the world at their fingertips, but getting a cap and gown is easier said than done. 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. If you can get away with murder, you’ll get your diploma. But if you’re caught red handed, you’ll find yourself on the receiving end of a deadly detention slip!”
