About PriPara

Looking for background on PriPara? This school, slice of life and music series by Tatsunoko Production, Dongwoo A&E (2014) starts out like this. In short: Every little girl waits for the day she'll get her special ticket, one that will grant her entry into the realm of PriPara (Prism Paradise). PriPara is a world of music, fashion, and daily auditions for a chance to become a pop idol.

Also worth knowing: Laala Manaka's companions and classmates aspire to become idols, but her school forbids elementary school students from participating in the idol competitions.

With school at the core, campus dynamics, friendships and rivalries set the day-to-day tone. This one is best suited to viewers who enjoy school-life settings.
