- Abridged Series: Danganronpa 3 Abridged. Danganronpa Abridged Thing also has a few videos based on it.
- Anime First: Notably the first piece of original Danganronpa media to not be a video game, novel or manga.
- Creator's Favorite: Kodaka has said that Kizakura is one of his favorite of the new characters, mainly thanks to Keiji Fujiwara's performance.
- Creator Backlash: Megumi Ogata aka the voice actress for Naegi and Nagito went on to diss Naegi for doing nothing except for riding on Hina every time and Kodaka for killing Kyoko off on an online radio program. Considering that the end of the show reveals that Kyoko didn't die, however, she may have been lying about the latter in order to keep the surprise.
- Kodaka himself also implied in an off-hand comment that he was displeased with The Reveal that Tengan was the mastermind and wished that Tengan had remained a regular Cool Old Guy instead.
- Cross-Dressing Voices:
- Megumi Ogata voices both Makoto, and Nagito. Averted in the English dub with both Makoto and Nagito voiced by a male.
- Minami Takayama as Hajime/Izuru. English dub averts this by having a male voice Hajime/Izuru.
- Bandai in both Japanese and English.
- Genius Bonus: Monokuma's anime to brainwash people into killing themselves in Side: Future is called "Monokuma's Gloomy Sunday." The title is a reference to a song
that, according to urban legend, has a high suicide rate. One of the nicknames of the song is "Hungarian Sucide Song." - God Never Said That: A nasty one occurred when some tweets Kodaka made were translated and interpreted as him saying that the cast of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair wouldn't appear in the anime. In reality, what Kodaka actually said was disgruntlement towards all the fans asking for an anime adaptation of the game and how he felt that, if he did so, it would be mere fanservice.
- The Other Darrin: Due to Nobuyo Ōyama's dementia, Monokuma is now voiced by TARAKO.
- The dub keeps the changed cast from Danganronpa: The Animation, but makes a better effort to avert this by bringing in as much of the second game's cast as they could to reprise their roles. This leads to the rather bizarre circumstance of Kaiji Tang being in the anime, but not the character he voiced in the games, despite said character being in the anime. This happened again with Erin Fitzgerald (Genocide Jack in the game, Kimura in the anime).
- The dub also has an internal example in Izuru Kamukura. When Johnny Yong Bosch went to Japan for a concert with his band Eyeshine, Micah Solusod voiced Izuru for a few episodes.
- Playing Against Type: Saki Fujita, best known for playing Hatsune Miku, is here Seiko Kimura, a bitter, sharp tonged Mad Scientist with a husky voice completely unlike Fujita's regular voice to the point many were surprised after the first episode aired that it was her.
- Promoted Fanboy: Sayaka Kanada, lead vocalist of TRUSTRICK and the singer of the OP and ED of Side: Future, is a self-professed fan of the franchise, to the point of playing Junko and Mukuro in the stage play adaptation of the first game, and voices Kaede Akamatsu in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
- Throw It In!: Bryce Papenbrook ad-libbed an exchange in the English dub of Side: Hope when Komaeda meets Naegi in which Komaeda says "His hands were so soft..." and Naegi says "Why is he sticky?" He didn't expect it to make it all the way through, and when the initial release was retracted to replace another blooper that accidentally made it in (Caitlyn Glass’s Lampshade Hanging of Kyoko turning out to be Not Quite Dead), Papenbrook was worried that his ad-lib was the one they caught.
- Trolling Creator:
- While Kodaka has always had this reputation, his stunt with Episode 2 of Side: Future really takes the cake: supposedly killing off Aoi, only to out it as a fakeout at the beginning of the next episode and laugh about it on Twitter. Making this even better was that an official poll was up for the week surrounding the episodes release and, thanks to Aoi's fakeout, many people ended up being tricked into voting incorrectly.
- Taken to an even greater degree with the official Spike Chunsoft Twitter, which set up a Line to God where they take sadistic glee in filling people with dread.
- What Could Have Been: Word of God from the producers is that the original plan for the series was to show more scenes of Class 78 in the Despair Arc, which got cut due to time and budget constraints.
