The King of Prism Series Returns with a New Film: "Tri-Star Act"!
The wait is over for King of Prism fans! According to an announcement from the series' official channels, a brand-new anime film titled King of Prism: Tri-Star Act has entered production. This new installment will revolve around the Prism.3 competition, one of the most prestigious events in the series' universe. At the heart of the story will be the fierce competition and dazzling performances of idols competing in trios within the Prism Show world.
The King of Prism series originally began as a spin-off of the Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live anime series and quickly became a massive brand in its own right. Starting with King of Prism by PrettyRhythm, which was released in 2016, this journey follows the fantastic performances of male idols that combine figure skating, dance, and singing. The series became a phenomenon, particularly in Japan, due to the culture of "cheering screenings," where audiences can cheer for characters and wave glow sticks in movie theaters.
The new film, Tri-Star Act, stands as the largest project to follow the 2019 King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars and the compilation film King of Prism -Dramatic Prism.1-, which was released recently. Expected to be produced by Tatsunoko Production, the film aims to bring even more impressive visuals to the scenes where characters showcase their supernatural abilities known as "Prism Jumps" through modern animation techniques. The competition format's focus on trio teams will allow fans to see the dynamics and new collaborations between their favorite characters.
This announcement proves how strong a fan base the series, which has carved out a unique, energetic, and dramatic place in the idol anime genre, still possesses. Details regarding the release date and voice cast for King of Prism: Tri-Star Act are expected to be clarified in the coming months. Fans have already begun theorizing on social media about which trios will form and what new songs will be composed. It seems the radiance of the Prism Show world will shine on the big screen once again.
