Based on the mutimedia project developed by Pony Canyon and Comptiq, TV anime series Re:Stage! Dream Days♪ (Re:ステージ! ドリームデイズ♪) recently released its characters visuals and its second PV. The anime will premiere in July.
Re:Stage! Dream Days♪ revolves around several female junior high school idols who aim to become a top in Prism Stage, a nationwide tournament where many middle school idols compete and become top idols.
Mana Shikimiya (式宮舞菜), a girl who once dreamed of being an idol, but had decided to live a more ordinary life in junior high school. However, when Mana transferred to the Takao Middle School Campus of Homareboshi Academy and joined the Singing and Dancing Club, a club which is on the verge of being shut down, her dreams of being an idol rekindles.
Shin Katagai (片貝 慎) is directing the anime in Yumeta Company and Graphinica. Motohiro Taniguchi (谷口 元浩) is designing the characters based on original designs by Tsubasa Izumi (和泉つばす), who illustrated the franchise’s novels. The idol group KiRaRe will perform the series’ opening theme song “Sensei Sensation”
