A few years ago, Bushiroad launched an endeavor that involved live concerts and an anime series titled Shogo Kageki Revue Starlight: The LIVE. Following the massively successful live performance, an anime was fast-tracked into production.
The anime added more fuel to the fire as more fans of the series began to grow, and a demand for a spin-off grew in tandem. Following the completion of the original anime Shojo Konto All Starlight started to be produced. As of this moment, the series is still in development.
