The anime version of "World Daistar", which is about high school girls trying their hand at acting, will be broadcast in the spring. In addition, a radio program will be distributed ahead of the broadcast, a comic version will be released, and an app game will be distributed in the summer, making it a diverse media mix. The best part of a media mix is that there are many elements to enjoy other than the anime. In this article, we would like to introduce the radio program, comics, and app game to help you enjoy the upcoming anime even more!
Synopsis of the story
The emergence of the brilliant performers "Dystar" caused an unprecedented theater boom in the world, and many actors were aiming to become "Dystar". And furthermore, they dreamed of becoming the pinnacle of that, the "World Daistar". The protagonist, high school student Kokona Otori, is one of them, and in pursuit of her dream of becoming a "World Daistar", she auditions for her favorite theater company, "Sirius". At the audition, Kokona witnesses the shining talents of the auditioners. On stage, a story full of dreams and brilliance begins. Who will become the "World Daistar", the highest peak of stage actors?
Radio program "World Daistar RADIO ☆ Waraji"
"World Daistar RADIO ☆ Waraji" is being distributed on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting and BS11's official YouTube. The site mainly provides information about the project, but also has various other sections. The main personalities are Manaka Iwami, who plays the main character Kokona Ohtori, and Ikumi Hasegawa, who plays Shizuka. Five episodes of the radio have been broadcast so far. In the latest episode, Maria Naganawa, who plays Yae Nizuma, appeared as a guest. You can learn about the voice actors' thoughts on the work and their unexpected sides, so it's a must-check content before watching the anime.
Official Comicalization
On April 2nd of this year, the official comicalization will be serialized in a magazine called Alive. Since it is being serialized at the same time as the anime, it is interesting to know whether the content is the same as the anime or whether the story development of the comic version is original. Normally, the original manga is first broadcast and then the anime is broadcast, so it is very rare for the anime and manga to start at the same time. It seems that you can enjoy it in a new way, such as checking the anime and comic versions alternately and comparing them. The image is the drawing of the comic version, and it has a different good point from the anime and game versions. Overall, it has a mature atmosphere. To enjoy the world of World Daistar, why not read it when the serialization starts?
App game "World Daistar Dream Stellarium"
This summer, the app game "World Daistar Dream Stellarium" will be released. Usually, in media mixes, the game version is released first, and the anime is often made based on that. However, this work is a rare case where the anime comes first and the game is distributed later. The genre of the game is a so-called "rhythm game", and it has the same system as games such as Love Live, BanG Dream, and D4DJ. It has play modes that are suitable for various players from rhythm game beginners to core gamers. There is a mode where you can make a theater poster and a mode where you can take a picture of your favorite scene and save it, so it's full of content. App games can be said to be the main axis of media mixes, so please try playing them when they are distributed!
Summary of content other than anime
Media mixes, which have a variety of content, are designed to keep fans from getting bored, and are full of elements that can be enjoyed before and after the anime broadcast. I'm sure that many fans will be born by getting some preliminary knowledge from the radio, enjoying the anime and manga, and then playing the game! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
