Chapters 1 - 5 have officially been done. I want to see if I can just speed through the other 3 tomorrow, but we'll see. Interesting stuff this chapter...
I didn't fully erase a miscellaneous layer when I made Iroha's side of the screen tho so her mouth looks a little wonky. I only realized it after the video was already done 😔
Took all night trying to figure out how subs work, but I finally got my first event story TL out there! I have the rest translated but I'm gonna need a big nap before I finish this up. But rest assured I'll get to all 8 stories this week. I've got the thumbnails ready and everything
I don't know if tumblr is being weird for anyone else but all of a sudden I can't access any of my sideblogs. I looked through other people's reblogs of my posts and they all say deactivated. Sending an ask to say I (used to be?) @PandaFan501 on tumblr and I didn't just mysteriously delete my blog. I'd appreciate it if you would tell me if it looks the same on your end or if I'm just having weird issues :')
Yeah, your blogs gone for me too. Sorry about that. =( I'll follow your new one, but maybe the Tumblr staff can get it back if you message them?
i wish i knew more about world dai star so i could be more exited about their collab with aqours. i like getting new aqours card art and the character interactions seem cute i guess.
Hi, I wrote a guide to World Dai Star for Love Live collab newcomers, you can read it here. There's also English translations for all the main story so far (apart from the latest chapter of the main story, which will be up in a few days), all but the last three key stories so far, and some of the other events and side stories, here in text form and here in video form, although not many are subbed yet.
Since there's a lot of people looking into World Dai Star for the first time thanks to the Love Live Sunshine collab, I updated the 0.5 Anniversary guide. This is an overview of the characters, the anime and game's basic plot and the gameplay and in game features.
The collab started on November 20th and is split into two parts. The first part runs from November 20-28th and the second part will run from November 30th to December 8th. The first part of the collab features Chika (free 4 Star card), Riko and Yoshiko. The second will feature Dia and Ruby.
World Dai Star is a mixed media theatre girls franchise whose main entries are the anime of the same title and the mobile rhythm game. It features both original songs and cover songs such as Snow Halation, NEO SKY, NEO MAP!, Stellar Stellar, Internet Yamero, Mixed Nuts, Virtual To LIVE and more.
It's set in a world which had a huge theatre boom in the middle of the 20th century, which resulted in the field of theatre acting becoming so crowded that some people developed mutations which gave them acting superpowers called 'Senses', which can range from increased athletic ability to mind reading to de-aging while on stage. The very best actors are classed as World Dai Stars, with only a small number of people worldwide claiming the title.
The anime follows a girl named Otori Kokona as she joins the theatre troupe 'Sirius' and starts her journey towards becoming a World Dai Star. Kokona has been repeatedly rejected during auditions as they say she lacks a Sense, however she has her best friend Shizuka supporting her in her dreams no matter what. As it turns out though, no one else can see or hear Shizuka. As the show progresses Shizuka becomes visible to others and it's revealed that she's actually Kokona's Sense and although many mysteries remain around her, with her help Kokona's acting starts to shine.
World Dai Star: Yume no Stellarium is a direct sequel to the anime which continues to follow Kokona and the rest of Sirius while introducing three new troupes, Eden, Gingaza and Gekidan Denki. It features canon yuri.
Eden is a subversive troupe led by the young lesbian genius Renjakuno Hatsumi, which creates unique plays which deviate from tradition and has a dangerous reputation with the more mainstream troupes in the area. Bar Hatsumi, whose Sense allows her to suppress other's Senses, all members of the troupe have Senses which can act as double edged swords.
Gingaza is one of largest and most prestigious theatre companies in Tokyo and scouts for actors internationally. The environment at the beginning of the game is both hyper competitive and unfriendly and the members rarely befriend each other, but that begins to change when Ramona Wolf arrives from Germany and tries to save troupe leader Senju Koyomi from burning herself out for the sake of tradition and her family name.
Gekidan Denki is a troupe which focuses on 2.5D performances such as anime adaptations. They are a relatively easygoing troupe made up of various kinds of otaku and their dedicated fans are very enthusiastic. However, due to changes in the economy of Akibahara the troupe isn't as profitable as it used to be, and the threat of closure is often hovering above their heads. The story starts when a cosplaying anime otaku named Senju Iroha, who quit acting when she was young because she has no Sense, joins the troupe with her best friend Shiromaru Mito.
The rhythm game aspect has been praised for it's three finger Olivier charts and high level of user customisation, which you can see in the linked video and read more about in the English language fan guide. It uses a system called Star Acts for it's scoring system. The team building and score increasing aspects are more in depth than most rhythm games and are considered one of the major draws of the games for people who like meta aspects.
World Dai Star (WDS) Guide Last update: 2023/09/12 Editor List: 魔法少女 (Discord: Mahoushoujo) Felt (Discord: Feltyy) … Disclaimer: This guide
The card art is high quality and in particular often has excellent lighting.
The original songs are also highly praised, and the game has many covers, like the ones mentioned above and That Summer Was Saturated, Flower, Snow and Drum'n'Bass, Fleeting Lullaby and DAYBREAK FRONTLINE. You can see three different difficulty levels with three different songs in the videos below.
In addition to the rhythm game section, there are also 3DMVs with customisable cast members and outfits and Photo Spots where you can dress members up and take photos of them in daily life situations. There are also 3DMVs of plays such as The Phantom of the Opera in the game, which have scripts written by a professional playwright.
For the yuri, there's a lot of potential pairings who openly flirt with each other, but more explicitly Renjakuno Hatsumi is gay and is in an open relationship with Lilja Kurtbay of Gingaza (first pic below). She cruises around town in her car hitting on girls on most days and regularly goes on dates with the girls she picks up. She's hit on most of the girls in the cast at this point and about a third of them like it. Also, the most loved up pair in the game are Senju Iroha and Shiromaru Mito (second pic below), and the official Twitter account of the game liked a post of rainbow flags replying to one of the Iroha/Mito 1komas that they posted.
You can download the game through QooApp. The game was laggy for Android on release and the reviews reflect that, but the issue was fixed in the first month and it now runs smoothly. All but the latest installment of the main story chapter, most of the key story events, and various other events and side stories are translated to English, link is below.

Final TL of Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is on the way, but in the meantime here's something I threw together last night:
For now it's just a color coded singing guide since it doesn't have an official MV, but about halfway through I realised I can actually hear these lyrics perfectly fine lol
So after the final theatre TL my goal is to make a lyric video for this one. Such a good song ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡
