“Trapezium: The Must-Watch Anime That Takes Idol Dreams to the Next Level!”
Crunchyroll has just dropped a dazzling new anime film, Trapezium, and if you’ve ever dreamed of the highs and lows of idol stardom, this one’s for you. Created by the powerhouse studio CloverWorks—known for smash hits like Spy x Family, My Dress-Up Darling, Bocchi The Rock!, and Horimiya—this film takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster filled with ambition, sacrifice, and, of course, music.
From High School to the Idol Stage
Based on Kazumi Takayama’s original novel, Trapezium follows high schooler Yu Azuma, a girl determined to become a top idol at any cost. She’s so serious about her dream that she’s sworn off social media and even promised not to get a boyfriend—because, you know, distractions! But chasing fame isn’t a solo act. To make it big, she embarks on a mission to recruit three other talented girls from different parts of her prefecture to form the ultimate idol group.
What follows is a journey packed with heartwarming friendships, brutal setbacks, and the high-pressure world of pop stardom. The road to success isn’t easy, and Yu soon realizes that not all dreams shine as brightly as they seem.
A Stellar Cast & Creative Team
Bringing Trapezium to life is director Masahiro Shinohara (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 3 Counterattack Arc), alongside screenwriter Yuko Kakihara (Buddy Daddies, Blue Box). The voice cast is just as impressive, featuring:
- Asaki Yuikawa (The Elusive Samurai) as Yu Azuma
- Hina Youmiya (BanG Dream! It’s MyGo!!!!!)
- Reina Ueda (Solo Leveling)
- Haruka Aikawa (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)
Together, they deliver a heartfelt and immersive performance that pulls you into Yu’s world.
