Danganronpa

Danganronpa (Japanese: ダンガンロンパ) is a 2018 American-Japanese computer-animated adventure comedy-drama film based on characters created by Spike Chunsoft. Produced by Maloing Entertainment for Paramount Pictures and directed by Tim Miller, the film was released on November 16, 2018.

Plot
Danganronpa takes place at an elite high school called Hope's Peak Academy (希望ヶ峰学園 Kibōgamine Gakuen), which accepts talented "Ultimate" students (超高校級 chō-kōkō-kyū, lit. Super High School Level) of the highest caliber in various fields each year. Makoto Naegi, a fairly optimistic but otherwise average student, is selected in a raffle and chosen to enroll into the academy as the "Ultimate Lucky Student". However, when Makoto arrives inside the Academy, he loses consciousness and wakes up locked inside the school, where he meets fourteen other newly picked Ultimate students who are in the same situation as him. A sadistic, remote-controlled bear named Monokuma appears before them, telling them they will be imprisoned in the academy for the rest of their lives, and that they will be put to death if they violate any of the schools rules. He offers only one way for students to "graduate" from the academy: murder another student and not be identified as the culprit.
