King of Prism is a Japanese media franchise produced by Avex Pictures and Tatsunoko Production. The series is a spin-off of the Pretty Rhythm multimedia series and focuses on the male characters introduced in Pretty Rhythm's third anime series, Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live, aiming for an older female demographic.[1]

King of Prism debuted as a film series in 2016, with the first film, King of Prism by Pretty Rhythm releasing in January 9, 2016. It was then followed by King of Prism: Pride the Hero in 2017, King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars in 2019, and King of Prism All Stars: Prism Show Best 10 in 2020.

Plot

The Pretty Rhythm series focuses on Prism Stars, idols performing figure skating routines through song and dance with special moves known as Prism Jumps.[2][3][4] The characters participate in Prism Shows, live performances that are scored based on how charmed the audience is.[5] Currently, there are two styles of Prism Shows for male Prism Stars: academy-style, standardized performances to appeal to women; and street-style, performances that incorporate street dancing and is not officially recognized by the Prism Show Association.

Set 1.5 years after Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live,[6] the story follows Shin Ichijo, a new student at Edel Rose Academy inspired by the group Over the Rainbow to train at becoming a Prism Star and participate in Prism Show Tournaments.[7][8] However, Edel Rose's ex-supervisor Jin Norizuki has established a rival academy, Schwarz Rose, who becomes their main competitor.[9]

Production

Hiroko Nishi and Takeshi Yoda had wanted to develop a late-night 13-episode television series that would focus on Over the Rainbow, the male characters of Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live, but their original plan was rejected.[15] When it was reworked into a film, it was rejected again, and the staff were told that if they were able to provide evidence that the project would work out, then it would be approved.[15] When the full version of Over the Rainbow's theme song, "Athletic Core", received positive feedback.[16] a character song album centered on them was produced.[17][18] In 2015, Over the Rainbow appeared in the movie Gekijō-ban PriPara: Minna Atsumare! Prism Tours if the audience chose to view route 4, which ended with a teaser for their comeback. The film was financially successful, with fans attending the cheer screenings multiple times with glowsticks.[19] After executives at Avex Pictures assessed the popularity of cheer screenings, they then approved the King of Prism by Pretty Rhythm film project.
