The second half of 2017 is also packed with "2.5-dimensional" stage productions!　A full list of upcoming events is available here!

It was also recently announced that "KING OF PRISM-Over the Sunshine! Sunshine!", the first stage adaptation of the "KING OF PRISM" series, has just been announced, and the momentum of "2.5-dimensional" stage productions continues unabated.

Here is a list of upcoming "2.5 dimensional" stage productions based on anime, video games, and manga works!

The Takarazuka Revue's "The Rose of Versailles," "Saint Seiya," the musical "Sailor Moon," and others. Currently, numerous productions are being presented to the world under the title of "2.5 dimension.

Many people may have questions about what "2.5 dimension" is, but here is a brief explanation from the website of the 2.5 Dimension Association ( # ), established in March 2014: "It is a generic term for 3-dimensional stage content based on 2-dimensional manga, anime, and games. The term is used by fans who paid attention to this genre from early on and nurtured it".

The musical "The Prince of Tennis," which first opened at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre in the spring of 2003, has attracted more than 2.3 million viewers to date and is affectionately known as "Tenimusu. With over 300 graduates, it is said to be a "gateway to success for young actors" and has produced many talented actors such as Takumi Saito and Yu Shirota, and it is interesting to note that voice actors such as KENN, Toshiyuki Toyonaga, and Mamoru Miyano have also appeared in the show.

In terms of voice actors, the "Sakura Taisen" series ( # ) should not be forgotten. The voice actors who played the characters in the original game actually played those characters on stage, making this series a must-see for fans. Recent titles such as "Kemono Friends" and "Royal Teacher Heine" are in this category.

A more unusual example is the "Super Kabuki 'One Piece'," a collaboration between the manga "One Piece" and Kabuki.

In addition, there is even a stage version of "Rust-colored Armor" ( # ), which was first created for the stage, and then developed into an anime and other media mixes.

With such a variety of possibilities for "2.5-dimensional" works, there are sure to be more attractive titles and cast members who seem to have jumped out of the 2-dimensional world in the future!

So, we looked into the lineup of upcoming performances!

From shonen manga based on "Naruto," "Captain Tsubasa," and "Diamond A," to video games such as "Sengoku BASARA" and "Sword Dance," there are a variety of upcoming productions, so even if you have never seen them before, please come to the theater and see them for yourself! Even if you have never seen them before, please come to the theater and see them.

Even if you have never seen them before, I encourage you to come to the theater and see them for yourself.
