What is 2.5 dimensions?
Have you ever heard of the term 2.5 dimensions?
In fact, I think you often hear the terms 2D (manga and games) and 3D (real world).
Among them, some of you may be wondering what the newly established "2.5 dimension" is.
What is 2.5 dimension?Manga/Anime/Game” refers to works based on two-dimensional works that are expressed in three-dimensional media such as plays and musicals.
2.5D is a wide range of things, so it is also called ``2.5D stage'' and ``2.5D musical.''
Recently, the term ``2.5-dimensional actor'' has been used to refer to actors who perform on stage based on anime or games.
In fact, even before the term ``2.5-dimensional'' was used, stage adaptations based on manga and other works existed.
In 2003, the musical ``The Prince of Tennis'' (commonly known as ``Tenimyu''), based on the popular manga serialized in Shonen Jump, is said to be a pioneer in the 2.5-dimensional stage.
In recent years, not only the characters themselves but also the 2.5D actors themselves have become fans.
Watching a play in which the actor appears is also a popular activity.
