The official website for the anime based on Bandai Namco Entertainment's The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors browser game began streaming a trailer for the anime's third theatrical anime on Monday.
The television anime, set to premiere in spring 2024, is taking an innovative approach with a pre-television release as three films. The initial film, which screened in Japan from October 27 to November 16, achieved a noteworthy opening weekend revenue of 40,284,350 yen (approximately US$268,100).
The second film, currently running in Japan and scheduled until December 14, will be followed by the third installment from January 5 to January 25. This unique cinematic experience is unfolding across 75 theaters in 47 prefectures throughout Japan.
Bandai Namco Entertainment's The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors browser game launched in April 2018. In the free-to-play game (with in-game purchases), players train idols and compete against other producers/players online in live concert performances. In addition to the game itself, the project spawned concert events, goods, CDs, and radio programs.
Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed the The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors: Song for Prism smartphone game in April.
