 quote:The franchise centers on "Starlight" — the song and dance revue troupe loved throughout the world. Karen and Hikari make a promise with each other when they're young that one day they'll stand on that stage together. Time passes, and now the girls are 16 years old. Karen is very enthusiastic about the lessons she takes every day, holding her promise close to her heart. Hikari has transferred schools and is now away from Karen. But the cogs of fate turn, and the two are destined to meet again. The girls and other "Stage Girls" will compete in a mysterious audition process to gain acceptance into the revue. Anime Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0RSR7V-uY4 Subbed Trailer of the Stage Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7eHEWWBQL4 Officially starts on July 13 and will be officially streamed by HIDIVE Edit: Ok, the official subs are kinda garbage, so fansub-wise, your choices are CHYUU-PAS, ACSS, and Starlightsubs. CHYUU-PAS is kind of the best overall, ACSS tends to be the most liberal, and starlightsubs is generally the most literal. Chyuu-pas takes like a week to drop their releases though, so you'll probably be picking from ACSS or starlightsubs. I favor ACSS, just cause they write some fun lines for some gags/jokes, but obviously they're not the most accurate, but they have the best editing outta the 3 groups. Manga prequel to the show https://mangadex.org/manga/28891/shoujo-kageki-revue-starlight-overture Why You Should Watch This? I put those trailer links above this for a reason! But anyways, this show is directed by Furukawa Tomohiro, whose done work under Ikuhara on both Penguindrum and Yurikuma. The stage show itself was directed by a Takarazuka Revue alumni. In other words, this show is gonna be Utena as gently caress.  https://files.catbox.moe/wb6z2r.webm Allarion fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Aug 12, 2018 |

 Aijo Karen Had her heart stolen by a revue named “Starlight” she once saw as a child. Now she’s running full speed through the path of a theater girl. She’s quite energetic and has a powerful voice, however she’s not good at getting up early for her morning lessons. She exchanged “destinies” with Hikari when she was a small girl, and together they participate in a mysterious revue. Her dream is “To stand by Hikari’s side on stage!” Played by Koyama Momoyo who has performed as Sailor Mercury in the Sailor Moon musicals.  Kagura Hikari She is a natural born theater girl who was Karen’s childhood friend and studied abroad at a Drama School in England.

Tsuyuzaki Mahiru When on stage she dances and sings energetically, yet she normally is quite a gentle and shy girl. As Karen’s roommate she has always looked up to her cheerfulness and positive attitude. However, the turmoil in her heart won’t stop once Karen’s childhood friend, Hikari, is back on the scene… Her dream is “To be Karen’s partner!” Played by Haruki Iwata, who has acted in Alice-in-Project stage productions.  Saijo Claudine She is the daughter of a Japanese father and a French mother. She has many talents and is a theater girl who participated in various plays as a child.

Her dream is “To surpass Maya Tendo and become the number one star!” Played by Aiba Aina, known for her role as Yukina from Roselia in Bang Dream.  Tendo Maya The daughter of a well-known theater actor and a Primadonna, truly a thoroughbred in the world of theater. She was blessed with a great physique and a clear, powerful voice. She is a naturally gifted, brilliant, theater girl who won’t be content with what she has, and keeps striving for greater glory. She is very well respected in school. “Dreams aren’t something you are to see, but something you are to be fascinated with.” Played by Tomita Maho, who has performed as Milfeulle in the Galaxy Angel musicals.  Hoshimi Junna A talented Honor Student who is also the class representative. Her judgement and analytical skills are excellent, however she often has problems overthinking. She chose the path of a theater girl opposing her parent’s wishes, however the margin of difference between herself and the other girls in class possessing natural talents such as Maya, is too big and she finds herself struggling with worry. Her dream is “To be bathed in the spotlight in the middle of the stage as the main character!” Played by Satou Hinata, known for her role as Leah Kazuno(Love Live Sunshine).  Daiba Nana A tall and gentle theater girl who acts as a mother to all the other students in the 99th Graduating Class. Her nickname is “Banana”.

Isurugi Futaba She is Kaoruko’s childhood friend and followed her into Seisho Music Academy. A rebel theater girl with a sharp tongue, who is quite gentle on the inside and even while complaining, her priority will always be Kaoruko’s wellness. Her short stature doesn’t stop her from having a high level of physical ability, she excels in the art of warfare(?) swordsmanship. Her dream is “As long as it makes Kaoruko happy, then I’m fine with it too.” Played by Ikuta Teru, who has had minor roles in stage productions and Jdramas, and played as Satsuki, the main character of the movie Akigire.  Hanayagi Kaoruko A theater girl with an outstanding talent for dancing and singing, and the granddaughter of a family with a long history in traditional Japanese dance.

Her relaxed Kyoto accent is her distinguishing character trait. Her dream is “Pretty much… world domination.” Played by Itou Ayasa, known for her roles as Ichigaya Arisa(Bang Dream) and Myoujingawa Alice(Futari wa Milky Holmes) Cast info pulled from https://revuestarlight-en.net Allarion fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Jul 21, 2018 |

I heavily recommend clicking both trailers, but based off my impressions of seeing the first 10 minutes at Anime Expo, I'm interested in the show. Didn't see enough to have any strong thoughts yet, but if the anime hits all those moments from the stage show trailer, then it'll be rad. Also neat, the seiyuu did perform their roles in the stage show too since this is a Bushiroad multimedia joint and all, so it's akin to being an idol musical.

A great first episode especially the Friend who is good at overseeing auditions. Hopefully HiDive will translate the songs in the future, if this is a musical then I'd rather know what they are singing about rather than karaoke subs.

Yeah, that seems like song licensing thing. Shame cause those parts feel like they'd be important considering it's a musical and all. Otherwise, the episode was good

It has a lot of Utena DNA in it since the director has worked under Ikuhara before on Penguindrum and Yurikuma.

Just finished watching the first episode. Holy poo poo, that was intense and fascinatingly beautiful. Also don't be fooled into thinking it's "just an idol/musical anime"- It's absolutely a magical girls show in the style of Revolutionary Girl Utena. If you loved Utena, you will love the first episode of Starlight Revue. Please watch this really cool show everyone!

I adored the first ep! If you did too, stream it with us at the end of the idolwatch! The watch itself begins earlier, but Revue Starlight will generally hit around 2:40 pm pdt/5:40 pm edt/9:40 pm utc on Saturdays at https://cytu.be/r/super_idol_time.

Be sure to check out the manga too, which covers their first year. Also be sure to watch the episode with translated lyrics from fansubs at some point too just those lyrics are pretty important. Anyways, Junna's lyrics are interesting in light of her chapter in the manga. https://mangadex.org/manga/28891/shoujo-kageki-revue-starlight-overture

To further expand on my earlier post: Starlight Revue has fantastic choreography, animation, and a lovely OST accompanying it's action sequences, which feels like a bigger budget, modern day Ikuhara anime, a new age "Revolutionary Girl Utena". It even has a lot of similar stylistic and symbolic, almost dreamlike qualities that set it apart from most other contemporary anime. Even putting all of that aside, the subject matter of choreographed musical stage plays is something rarely, if ever before, the focus of an Anime, a medium that can make the subject matter truly come to life and do things that would be difficult in a traditional medium such as film, and I'm really curious to see how inventive the staff of the show will get with the setpieces, transformations, dream sequences, and action scenes. It truly brought a smile to my face few other anime in recent memory have. And yes, it's pretty gay too.

Edit: Well, there's another group attempting it too if you wanna wait more on that. From what I can tell, Starlight is just using an edited version of Hidives, but with lyrics added now.
