The media mix "World Daistar" is scheduled to be developed in various ways, including anime, games, and manga. It is a "Theater Girls" project themed on high school girls who try their hand at theater, and the anime will be broadcast in the spring and the app game will be distributed in the summer. Since there is no original work, many details are still unknown, but the production staff has already been made public. In this article, I would like to introduce the production staff who are indispensable to the anime!
Synopsis of the story
It is the 20th century, and with the emergence of the brilliant performer "Daistar", the world has become an unprecedented theater boom, and many actors are aiming to become "Daistar". And even more, they dreamed of becoming the pinnacle of that, "World Daistar". The protagonist, high school student Kokona Otori, also pursues her dream of becoming a "World Daistar." She auditions for her favorite theater company, Sirius, and witnesses the dazzling talents at the audition. A story full of dreams and brilliance begins on stage. Who will become the "World Daistar," the pinnacle of stage acting?
Takahiro (Story Original)
The person in charge of the story original is Takahiro. His real name is Takahiro Imaizumi. He has been a game lover since his school days, visiting game centers every day, and this passion led him to become a programmer after graduating from vocational school. However, after joining the company, when they needed someone to help with planning, she said that she had been praised for her essays in elementary school, and was entrusted with planning and learning how to write scripts. The project she worked on at that time was a game called "Sister, Let's Do It Right!" This game is the origin of the genre called "sister games" and became a huge hit. After that, she worked as a scenario writer and planner for games, and those games also became huge hits. She was originally known for her work in the game industry, but since the late 2000s, she has increasingly been in charge of writing scripts and original stories for anime.
Mika Pikazo (Character Design)
The person in charge of character design is Mika Pikazo. I work as an illustrator. I am interested in South American music, movies, and design, and when I traveled to Brazil, I was impressed by the South American spirit of tolerance towards diversity. I am in charge of many illustrations for light novels and social games, and I am also involved in a wide range of activities such as planning and supervising apparel brands. My style is very colorful and vivid, and the characters I create have a wide range of expressions. I get the impression that many of the characters that appear in "World Dystar" are colorful and have a variety of expressions.
Yasuhiro Nakanishi (series composition)
The series composition is handled by Yasuhiro Nakanishi. There is a manga artist named Yasuhiro Nakanishi, but he is a different person with the same name. He was a member of the scriptwriter group "Braza no Noppo," represented by the scriptwriter Takao Koyama. It was later registered as a limited company. Among its members was Touki Hanada, who wrote the script for the "Love Live!" series. Until it disbanded in March 2016, it was a company with a history of over a quarter century. After disbanding, he joined another animation company and worked on anime scripts. He wrote the scripts and structured famous works such as the "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" series and the "Idolish Seven" series.
Summary of the Production Staff
The staff involved in the production are important, and without any one of them the anime would not work. You may not usually think about the staff when watching anime, but if you learn about the staff in advance in this article, you will understand the difficulties and greatness of the people who work behind the scenes.
