Introduction
The national idol unit Fool's End suddenly announced their breakup at the Honnouji no Fes: a Burning Dream concert. The Tenka Fubai (Tenka Flag), which only the world's best idols can hold, was to be handed over to a successor group, with the decision based on the overall score of each group's music sales, live audience count, and merchandise sales. This "battle royale" marked the beginning of the age of idol warfare in Japan.

When the news of the battle royale broke, idol groups from around the country went into a frenzy. Three groups—NO PRINCESS, a four-member group produced by Shigemichi Saitou, Lunatic Eyes, a three-member group produced by Muneto Date, and X-UC, a ten-member group produced by Kounosuke Sanada—were all extremely popular and soon announced their participation.

NO PRINCESS, a street-style group specializing in dynamic R&B dancing, the orthodox Lunatic Eyes, and X-UC, who make the most of their numbers with a wide variety of characters and formations, will fight to the death in battles (live performances) around the country.

Although producers Saitou, Date, and Sanada were unaware, they are the reincarnations of Dousan Saitou, Masamune Date, and Yukimura Sanada, respectively. At the time of their deaths in their previous lives, they each had their will to take over the world confirmed by a mysterious woman named Iyo. The three learned of this just before the battle royale.

lyo appeared before them for the first time in hundreds of years, unlocking the sealed memories of their previous lives and giving them each a red "wo" palm print (stigma). She told them that it would become the complete character for "heaven" upon taking over the world. The three are convinced of their previous existence by their "wo" palm prints and push forward toward their goal.

The movie is based on the Idol Bu Show multimedia project, which began in October 2019 and released singles and drama CDs.

Multimedia... so gacha sequel? Perchance.

But this is one, big clutter of a story eh. Big problem, again like IP and especially SelePro, is the amount of charas present here. Also not a big fan of the battle royale thingy again... seems like JP really loves that rn lol

lots of notable staff here, how interesting. Much to desire of the studios tho, considering basically no known works attributed to em

Still gonna watch cuz it's idol anime

It was like they were mixing everything they want but the concept of idol battle royale and the reincarnation of famous people are quite interesting.
Suwawa is there, NICE!, and the casts are quite a good team. However, The studio is still in question though. Hope it will turn out to be a good one

I'm surprised that this is a movie, it could be a banger as a result. Also, the outfit design is nice.

Man, haven’t they had enough of these all-girl/idol anime? People have been waiting for so many more worthy series to get adaptations yet they keep regurgitating this stuff.

Don't worry, this is a traditional block of ads for game adaptations. It's just that now it's idols instead of girls with guns that destroy generic monsters.

Awwwww only cute little girls. I hope for strong Yuri vibes the lesbians should be flirting like crazy,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

My biggest concern is the synopsis,,, Cmon Japan they are Idols. It's supposed to be very simple. The little Idol lesbians want to dance and sing with their cute girlfriends. So they are going to dance around in their skimpy little outfits, and it will be gay as hell. Because I am a man of culture I am going to be very entertained by this, Hehehehehehehehehehe

Look at LL and its story it's not complex at all, but still, it's extremely successful. When Idols goes outside this box and tries to make a science project out of it, it often fails IMO and doesn't suit my taste very well. Hopefully, this will be different
