Might download the game for one week.
I think putting more images and information would be better for a new thread.This anime should have been delayed a season and aired right now, the current season is terrible on many levels, of my selection of 28, only 8 are worth it, that includes anime that I was already watching.
>>4013737I was waiting for the old thread to hit page 9 before making a new one with information about the BD and game release dates and a link to the game preregistration page. It's a shame that something with so much ongoing content has an OP that looks like something you'd see for a franchise that hasn't put anything interesting out in years.
Game comes out on the 26th, preregistration page here.https://world-dai-star.com/game/preregistrationBD comes out on the 28th, there's different pre-order bonuses from different shops which you can see on the page here.https://world-dai-star.com/product/585
>>4013741people should be patient with these thread instead of creating a new one like idiots, this series needs more support and creating a thread with OP so dry, is not a good way to do that.>>I was waiting for the old thread to hit page 9 before making a new one with information about the BD and game release dates and a link to the game preregistration page. It would be the next time, but I don't think that's possible unless this thread is destroyed for lack of content and create the real one.This ugly thread convinced me to give my full support to my OTP of this series in a similar way to how I do it with other couples without much love, now the difficult thing will be the reference images of those characters of decent quality, the official page does not let me save the images.
>>4013748>the official page does not let me save the imagesIt's very rare that you can't inspect element to get the original image in any website, the obvious exception being images that were intentionally jumbled.
>>4014484Forgot the image.
so, should phantom of the opera replace Romeo & Juliet as a better story for /u/ plays?
When is the release?
>>40172971300 JST, so 4.5 hours from now
>>4014573Take the hint, Kokona!
Someone's actually TLing and subbing the game. The font in the first video is rough, but they changed it after that. Dunno if the translator/subber checks these threads, but thanks for doing them if you're here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWWyoB_J70Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swWOmFjp9dshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-xArJaiV3A
>>4018810Another TL, Kokona's side story.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DULsrRxUhc8
Doesn't it have Little Mermaid too?Only after reading Mermaid Line I realised that it too was gay
Lynncutie being creepyhttps://youtu.be/U35su3rT9z4
>>4022296Yeah, Katrina finally won a lead role in it.
>>4022473You can change which character performs the dances in the game, with wonderful results.
>>4022891>a lead role about unrequited love It checks out
>>4023147She's behind now but Katrina WILL win the Kokona bowl.
>>4022891>>4023147https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbsWQqnWS_sI would be interested to know who has the role of the girl who replaces the little mermaid as romantic interest at the end.
>>4023147Surely Sirius will be based again and do the happy end?That's what saved Romeo and Juliet
Well, first images that I request for the couple and I hope that there can be more in the future.
>>4024431cute
>>4024431That's pretty cute anon, looking forward to more.
>>4018810Lmao, wtf, Eden one is literally lesbian seduction jav script. So smooth~
It seems the Sirius story is going to be a little bit different in the game. In the Sirius 1 Kokona meets Iruru and Daikoku from Eden.Iruru saying to Daikoku>I will listen to your complaints until morningSus>Daikoku>Dai koku>Big cock
>>4025511Japanese people in streams of the game keep on laughing at Panda and Daikoku's names. Daikoku is nicknamed Daifuku now.
Happy birthday to Kathrine. May she win the Kokonabowl
>>4025747Ramona will win the Katherinabowl after her heart gets broken.
another cute request image.
>>4028002What play are they rehearsing?
>>4028079This series is turning me into a nerd for plays, I keep imagining how the popular ones can be yuri-fied now and who should get each role, I need help
>>4028175That was Takahiro's evil plot all along, he's luring people in with the idol type dances in the promo trailers and then brainwashing them into liking musical theatre.
>>4028179It made me care about butai stuff in a way that Revue Starlight never did. Wonder why that is.
>>4028175I want them to do A midnight summer dream. Yuyuyui already did it on limited budget and it was pretty gay and fun overall.
So Hatsumi and Lilja are literally fuckbuddies, right?
>>4028175>my original post got baleetedT-Thanks, jannies.As I was saying, Repo! The Genetic Opera looks like something that Hatsumi would write in-universe and Eden would perform, a gothic horror slasher cyberpunk musical with lots of scantily-clad chicks. Imagine Shuka (Nikako's VA, some of us know her from Aqours) singing the Japanese rendition of Legal Assassin.https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qd7HXt6a78whttps://yewtu.be/watch?v=_feIG7Akfychttps://yewtu.be/watch?v=Az5vcfwiDvw
>>4028269It's probably because revue starlight was more about using action to resolve character drama rather than acting performances. You only really get to see bits of original plays there. That's the one thing that its gacha game does better than the anime, actually showing the characters acting out plays and every aspect of what makes a performance possible.>>4028908Repo! would be amazing, but they would have to get the rights to do something like that correct? I don't even know how you'd pitch it to the geezers in suits. In any case I'd like to see Hatsumi as Grave Robber.
Good news everyone, Hatsumi and Lilja are having sex.
>>4028179>Musical theater replaces aquariums as the lesbian date night of choice.Sugoi Takahiro-san!
And here I was, thinking that all of the homos joined marching band and that the theater club was just for nerds. Was I wrong all along?
New Kathrina abuse.
>>4031055lewd. Why does Katherina look like she's into it?
>>4031058She's already used to Kokona and Shizuka double-teaming her every night
Fucked up.
>>4031333She's just doing at day what she also does every night.

Thank you for your service.This is such a shame that it didn't get the popularity it deserves. They really fucked up with a season
>>4069943>with that seasonFtfy. One of the biggest problems of the anime was to air alongside Oshi no Ko and what make this even worse is thst now every anime that has a all female cast, on a artistic field, singing is labelled as a idol anime.
>>4069943There is still the game.
>>4079835Cute
More cute things.
>>4086578Super cute. I wish there was more art of them.
>>4086578From the new game event>Shizuka: The afterglow of the kiss we shared hasn't faded yet.>Kathrina Griebel: Yeah......that's right.It's already over KokoKat Anon, you need to wake up and face reality.

Tried to post more translations but it was blocked as spam several times, have they really blocked Rentry links?
I downloaded a bunch of songs from the game yesterday. I like most of the songs from the Gingaza girls, but my favorites are from Eden. This Daikoku girl sounds like a total dork, but I really like her songs. Surprisingly my favorite is 純粋と奔放 from Nikako and Hatsumi. Nikako didn't stand out to me at all when I read her bio all the way back when the anime aired.
>>4127492Faith in Expression is still my favorite song
Small Kathrina x Kokona animation.https://twitter.com/Chii__kyokutou/status/1745421502324097433
>>4136257Simple, but it delivers what it promises.
Anyone up to date with the plot of the game?Qrd?
>>4136609I'll summarise the main stories of each troupe so far, give me a few hours.
>>4136609>>4136972So far it's mostly been introducing the troupes, the characters and their back stories and overarching plots. Sirius and Gingaza have had their second chapters so far and (datamine spoilers) Gekidan Denki is getting their second chapter next week.The main overarching plots are that an elite troupe named Olympus are sniffing around and trying to scout various people and buy out less successful troupes, with the implication that the work environment is brutal and they burn all the enjoyment of acting out of their actors, and that Hiiragi is secretly planning to create synergy between the four main troupes so far to boost everyone's abilities and create a bunch of World Dai Stars. I'm not going to summarise the 15 non-Sirius characters back stories, but for the main 4 troupe's stories:In Eden, it starts off showing an island girl named Nikako being recruited by the current leader of the Eden troupe Hatsumi and the owner of the troupe, an old woman named Tetra, while they're holidaying on the island.Nikako goes to Tokyo and adjusts to the troupe well even though she's extremely pure hearted and nice and sensitive and the rest of the troupe are edgy and/or mentally ill. Hatsumi is also a raging lesbian who's in an open relationship with a Finnish nudist girl from the Gingaza troupe whose mother is a supermodel, and she drives around town picking up random girls to date every day.Nikako finds out that Hatsumi is extremely controlling when it comes to theatre and that she basically took over Eden by force and chased off everyone who wouldn't bend to her will. Tetra was fine with this, because Eden had become stale after she'd given control of it to someone else after she was diagnosed with a serious blood/circulation disorder, which is slowly killing her.
>>4137240Not long afterwards Nikako performs her first play, and the anti finds that she's incapable of slandering the performance. Nikako's Sense turns out to be one that forces anyone who watches a play she's in to give their completely honest opinions.Later, Tetra collapses from her disease. Since she might not have much time left, she wants to teach them everything she can while she still has the chance, and to do so they'll be staging The Phantom of the Opera. Nikako has trouble with playing Raoul since she's never experienced jealousy or rage before, but her fellow troupe member Daikoku helps her understand the role by being mentally ill at her. They stage the play even though Tetra is too sick to attend until the final performance. After, an Olympus scout from America tries to scout Hatsumi, but she tells him she would never join a troupe unless she had total control over it and he leaves. Tetra recovers from her relapse.Future storylines set up in key stories are that Iruru, a girl with a Sense that allows her to get a passing grade in any role but to never excel, wants to surpass her limitations in the lead role of a performance of Salome, and Shigure, the 10 year old who has a Sense that brute forces people who she can initially get to become normal fans into becoming her devoted fans, has neglectful rich parents who leave her alone all the time, don't care about her acting, and say she has to quit acting if she hasn't become a Dai Star by middle school.
>>4137242At the beginning of the Gingaza chapter, a German girl named Ramona Wolf leaves Hamburg for Japan. She was in the same troupe as Kathrina and wanted to help her after the Cinderella incident, but couldn't. It's implied over time that she mainly went to Japan because she was chasing after Kathrina. She has a Sense that lets her sense people's weaknesses on stage, and she places extreme importance on friendship and camaraderie.When she arrives in Japan and starts living in the Gingaza dorms, she's horrified to find out that hardly anyone wants to be friends with each other and starts obsessively trying to convert to to the magic of friendship.She meets Kathrina shortly before the Kaguyahime play, but Kathrina wants nothing to do with her. She decides to become stronger somehow so she can help her properly this time, but ends up not helping her before Kokona and the others did, for various reasons.She has little luck making Gingaza more friendly, but then the only girl who was friends with her leaves after not getting a role yet again. She hammers away at the more receptive people in Gingaza until she befriends them via hotpot parties and nudity, but Koyomi continually rejects her. Ramona ends up starring against her in a play and realises that Koyomi is burnt out and doesn't enjoy acting properly anymore. The audience, but not Ramona, learns that Koyomi has insomnia and uses sleeping pills to sleep. Ramona declares to Koyomi that she's going to save her from her burn out by becoming the leading light of Gingaza herself and starts trying to befriend her even more aggressively, even though she had been declared a stalker by everyone already. Koyomi and Ramona are both shown to find each other physically attractive, despite everything.
>>4137243Then chapter 2 happens and it's revealed that Koyomi is basically crazy and is burning herself out and guzzling sleeping pills on purpose because she thinks that sacrificing herself to elevate Gingaza and her family name is a great idea, even though no one asked her to go so far, including her family. It also shows that her level of fame and workload is so stifling that even her home relationship with her sister Iroha is stiff and awkward despite how much they love each other. She co-stars in a performance of Night on the Galactic Railroad as Campanella, with Wang Xue as the lead Giovanni, and she starts romanticising self immolation and comparing herself to Campanella and the scorpion who self immolates over and over again for other's sakes.Xue finds out about her issues after Koyomi accidentally overdoses on sleeping pills and is hospitalised but lies about what happened, and tries to talk sense into her, but by the time the chapter ends Koyomi is still determined to sacrifice herself. Ramona has no idea because Koyomi deliberately avoids her Sense.
>>4137244In Gekidan Denki's chapter, Koyomi's sister Iroha, who has no Sense and quit acting in elementary school as a result, and Iroha's best friend Mito, see a staging of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion performed by Gekidan Denki and becomes inspired to join them and start acting again. Gekidan Denki is a troupe that specialises in 2.5D performances, such as anime adaptation plays. Iroha and Mito are huge nerds and cosplay their favourite magical girl show together. Iroha has a good relationship with Koyomi and the rest of her family (Koyomi is her number one fan), but it's implied that she was previously depressed due to her lack of Sense and being compared to the rest of her family and Koyomi in particular. They do well in the troupe and end up inspiring their friend Kamira to join as well. The fortune telling member of the troupe, Tsubomi, who may or may not be schizophrenic, thinks things look great for Denki and decides to tell the groups fortune, but keeps on getting bad results for reasons she can't understand. Another member of the troupe, Towa, is a young ex-Olympus member, who is implied to have suffered burn out from being overworked by them and now takes it easyLater, they receive the news that since while Denki has no actual financial troubles it's not making as much money anymore, the owner is selling it to Olympus, and they will be doing restructuring, which Towa says will just wreck the troupe. Everyone is extremely upset, but after a few days Iroha decides that they have to fight for Denki by putting on a great show and bringing in lots of new customers. They perform Aladdin with Iroha in the lead role and it's successful enough that Denki's owner backs off from the sale.
>>4137247In Sirius chapter 2 Kathrina is upset about not getting lead roles for so long, when she overhears that Kokona is being scouted by Olympus. Kokona turns them down. Kathrina lands the lead role in The Little Mermaid and is desperate to make it a success, but she becomes so stressed that she starts to mentally unravel, and her Sense starts malfunctioning, which makes her go blind and deaf when she uses it. She reveals that a lot of her issues come from how much she idolises her mother and wants to be like her.She almost drops out of the role, but Panda and the others manage to keep her going and she plays the role even though her Sense still wasn't working when she went on stage. She performs so well in the role that her mental state recovers and her Sense not only starts working again but evolves as well.
>>4137243Actually I forgot to put some important context here:Gingaza is one of the biggest and most prestigious acting troupes around. All of their actors are high quality and can only join after passing rigorous screening. They scout actors from all over the world and have a high number of members, but the way it operates makes it so that many members get few or even no roles and drop out rates and stress levels are high. Barely anyone is friends with anyone else.The current leading light in the troupe is Senju Koyomi, the eldest daughter of a very rich and prestigious acting family. In addition to high level normal acting abilities, she has a Sense which allows her to copy any other Sense. Her acting ability and family and troupe circumstances put her apart from everyone else, and after an incident where a friend who wasn't getting parts dropped out of the troupe to go and look after her father and then ghosted her, and then the future troupe leader of Gingaza, who was her only friend at that point and the only actor who could rival her got into a fight with the directors and left, also without keeping in contact with her.
>>4137249I'm not the one who asked, but thank you very much for your summary.
>>4137249Also not the one who asked, but nice, thanks for the summary.>she starts romanticising self immolation What in the hell.
I am that anon who asked and I am very thankful.The game seems to be even more hardcore than anime, geez.This shit is too hardcoreMore like World Dai Schizo
>>4137271>>4137306>>4137307No problem.>>4137249>the future troupe leader of GingazaTypo, it's actually supposed to say 'the future troupe leader of Eden'.
>>4137247>Code GeassWat. Is it a collab event or something?. Else, I'd expect the play to be limited to classic stuff, not post-2000s animu.Yuuki Yuuna play when?
>>4137331>Is it a collab event or somethingNo, it's regularly mentioned in the main story.
>>4137488Interesting. I wonder how they got the rights. Oshi no Ko for example, had to skirt around and do references instead of directly saying the characters were acting Kimetsu no YaibaSo it surprises me WDS was allowed to have it's characters act out Code Geass instead of some OG play that's supposed to be Code Geass but isn't to skirt the license and copyright issues
Please tell me the other Sirius girls still bully Kathrina for her extremely chuuni line here.
>>4138359It hasn't been mentioned, but from this picture from the datamines it looks like Kathrina's Phantom might have reawakened.
>>4138367The cure will be Kokona playing the role of Christina including the kiss.
>>4137492Wasn't Sunrise on the anime's production committee? They were doing cross promotions with Sunshine in the Mirror and Witch of Mercury while it was airing.

Anyone here a Ramona/Kathrina shipper? It's wildly popular in the Japanese fandom, you'd never know that Ramona/Koyomi was the main Ramona ship in canon based on how the fans behave.
>>4157318Maybe they feel bad for Kathrina getting yaya'd in the anime?
>>4157450No, they just love it. I think it's probably the most popular WDS pairing at this point.
Now that the game's been out for a while, who's everyone's favourite pairing? Mine's Hatsumi/Koyomi, who have almost no content at all.
