Wake Up, Girls! is an anime series produced by Ordet and Tatsunoko Production and directed by Yutaka Yamamoto. A film titled Wake Up, Girls! - Seven Idols (Wake Up, Girls! 七人のアイドル Wake Up, Girls! Shichi-nin no Idol?) opened in Japan on January 11, 2014, and a television series aired in Japan between January and March 2014. The film was streamed online in 108 countries upon its release. A spin-off series, Wake Up, Girl ZOO!, aired between September 2014 and February 2015. Both the series and film are being streamed with English subtitles by Crunchyroll. A new anime series, titled Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shō, has been announced for 2017 and is currently in production.

Green Leaves Entertainment is a tiny production company on the verge of going out of business in Sendai, the biggest city in Japan's northeastern Tohoku region. The agency once managed the careers of magicians, photo idols, fortune-tellers, and other entertainers, but its last remaining client finally quit. In danger of having zero talent (literally), the president Tange hatches an idea of producing an idol group. On the brash president's orders, the dissatisfied manager Matsuda heads out to scout raw talent.

An idol-training simulation social game titled Wake Up, Girls! Stage no Tenshi (Wake Up, Girls! ステージの天使?) launched in January 2014. In the game, the player takes the role of manager and must train the girls on their way to stardom. The game features unique idols not present in the anime.

The game was discontinued in December 15, 2014.

The film, titled Wake Up, Girls! - Seven Idols (Wake Up, Girls! - 7人のアイドル?), was released in theaters on January 11, 2014. Box office is under ¥10 million(JPY). The television series aired between January 11, 2014 and March 29, 2014. The final volume of the series was released on August 22, 2014, and sold 2,193 copies. The opening theme of the first two episodes is Stand Up! (タチアガレ!?), and from episode 3 onwards is 7 Girls' War, both credited by the cast of Wake Up, Girls!.

(うぇいくあっぷがーるZOO!?), began streaming on Avex's YouTube channel from September 5, 2014. The main theme is "WUG Zoo Zoo" by Wake Up, Girls!. The film, titled Wake Up, Girls! - Seishun no Kage (Wake Up, Girls! -青春の影), was released in theaters on October 30, 2015. Box office is under ¥10 million(JPY). And DVD and BD were sold 1,416 copies.
