Musicals based on manga and anime are pretty common Japan. Sometimes you can find clips of the musicals on Youtube. If you’re lucky enough to be in Japan, you’ll be able to see the elaborate details and ways of telling the stories that tend to be fantastical and crazy (but fun crazy) in manga or animation. Now Japan will be offering worldwide streaming for five different musical stage plays.
Starting on December 10th, you’ll be able to watch stage plays from Japan 2.5D Stage Play World: Anime, Manga, & Game Theater Online. The website describes 2.3D as being 2.5 Dimensional musicals being born in Japan. It is a term used for theatrical presentations based on Japanese manga, popular animation, and video games.
