So-so like, what IS alien stage?

ALRIGHT SO,

alien stage is an original art project collaboration mainly between 2 animators on youtube, vivinos and qmeng, as well as korean multi-media production house studio lico!

the premise: many years into the future, long after earth was invaded by aliens and became totally uninhabitable, humans have basically been reduced to pets/slaves by aliens as the dominant species. the series specifically centers around an annual music contest, where humans who have been raised to sing and perform their whole lives compete 1-on-1 for audience approval - and only the winner of each round gets to live. this contest is a VERY BIG BUSINESS for the wealthiest of alien society. so it's basically the hunger games but with music in space lmao

there are 6 main characters who are all connected to each other in different ways, and their performances are used to show us who they are, what kind of lives they've lived, and especially their relationships. it's extremely character focused, but because there's not really any normal dialogue, you have to pay close attention to everything to understand what's going on. you probably won't catch everything on your first watch!!

it also just has really cool and interesting animation and BANGER SONGS. every single one is amazing.

here's the official playlist! i really recommend checking out the artists' other stuff, vivinos especially has made a bunch of cool animated shorts in the past and i've been following them for a long time :]]]

Where'd this news come from?

DeepL’d for your convenience:

The key point of this work is that all five heroes are kings! Stag Ohger (Red), the "self-proclaimed" king of "Shugoddam," the most powerful country where guardian deities reside; Dragonfly Ohger (Blue), the king of "Nkosopa," the country of technology; Kamakiri Ohger (Yellow), the queen of "Ishabana," the country of arts and medicine; Papillon Ohger (Purple), King of Gokkan, the land of ice and snow, and Hachi Ohger (Black), Lord of Toufu, the land of agriculture, face off against the enemy, the land empire of Bagunarak, which is attacking the people of Earth.

The script for this work, which depicts the activities of kings who protect peace, is written by Takano Minato. The hit maker, who has also worked on "Masked Rider Zero One" (episodes 23 and 24) as well as the popular TV drama "The True Criminal Flag" and the TV drama and movie "Kakegurui", opens a new door for the Super Sentai series with his novel worldview of "king heroes✕ insect robots".

The work is directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi, who has previously worked on "Knight Dragon Sentai Ryusoulger” and the "Masked Rider" series. The action director will be Jun Watanabe, who is also active as a suit actor, and the special effects director will be Hiroshi Butsuda.

Switching to subtitled version of GX for S2, excited to realize I have no idea what anyone's names are! TY to @thebuildlady for suggesting the tag, since I do not know enough about GX to make a funny one.
