The World Dai Star anime has received a new character trailer that features the Sally Amaki-voiced German Kathrina.
The World Dai Star website describes Kathrina as aiming to become the greatest performer in history, with the character possessing an “explosive” acting ability that comes from her impressive observational skills.
Character trailers for protagonist Kokona and the purple-haired Shizuka were released last week. The release of Kathrina’s trailer was accompanied by the upload of a short ad for the anime.
World Dai Star is part of a multimedia project that includes a mobile game and manga. The anime is set to begin airing in Japan on April 9.
The premise of World Dai Star involves theater experiencing a worldwide boom due to the advent of performers called Dai Stars. The story will follow 16-year-old Kokona, who aspires to be a World Dai Star and joins the Sirius Troupe. The cast includes Manaka Iwami as Kokona, Ikumi Hasegawa as Shizuka, Maria Naganawa as Yae, Naomi Oozora as Panda, Rico Sasaki as Chisa, and Nanako Mori as Noa.

The World Dai Star project’s story draft is written by manga writer Takahiro (Akame ga Kill), while its original character designs come from Mika Pikazo, the designer of VTubers Kaguya Luna and Hakos Baelz.
