Is anyone here into stage plays? Original ones or adaptations from other otaku media?
Have you seen any live? If so, what was the experience like?

I bought a Ginga -Nagareboshi Gin- Kizuna Hen (The Ties of Friendship) Blu-Ray at Prisma(hypermarket-chain) for 5€ when they were getting rid of all physical DVDs and Blu-Rays. I don't know if there was a physical release for the second part Ginga -Nagareboshi Gin- Gajo Kessen Hen (The Battle of the Stronghold) it's listed on blu-ray.com but I haven't seen it being sold anywhere. It seems only available digitally.
Both had theatrical releases but the second part was limited so I assume they knew it wouldn't sell enough for a physical release(I mean I found the first part in a clearance aisle).
I don't think they released either in English and I haven't seen any releases of it on western torrent sites of either raw or Finnish, I've been thinking about ripping it but I don't think you can rip with a PS3 which is my only Blu-Ray player((soft-)modded is region-free btw). Here's a small excerpt of the second part, partly subtitled in English https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=TSVbQOk5ppo
There was a Finnish fan-made musical from 2011-2012 it used to have English subtitles on YouTube but they used YouTube's annotation feature for them so they were lost when YouTube killed that feature and don't seem to be archived anywhere. I assume they released these recording of a stage play in theaters and Blu-Ray for the first because of the Finnish stage play or in general because Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin's popularity in Finland or possibly it was inspired by it, the mangaka of Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin: Takahashi Yoshihiro was there to see the 2012 version in Animecon.

i've been to a lot of irl stage plays. none were anything remotely otaku. some shakespeare, many single set productions.
you really ought to see them in person rather than watching a recording tho. i can understand if it's literally the only way to experience it, but the immersive nature of them can only come across in person. the camera does all the pov decisions for you, so you can't look across the stage yourself and that matters more than you'd think. like even tho none of the productions were anything terribly special (community theatre level for the most part), they are still generally better than watching a decent-good level movie at home.

I’ve seen the hunter x hunter stage plays and I didn’t like them. They were long as fuck too.
