BanG Dream!,[b] also called Bandori! (バンドリ！), is a Japanese music media franchise. It is owned by the company Bushiroad. Takaaki Kidani, the president of Bushiroad, and Kō Nakamura, a writer and lyricist, came up with the idea for it in January 2015. A manga came out first, and other media was made later. BanG Dream! also has an anime TV show, concerts, singles and albums, Virtual YouTubers, and a rhythm game for smartphones called BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!, which is made by a studio called Craft Egg.
The series is about all-female bands whose members play characters in the anime and the game. In 2025, the project has ten groups, and seven of them play their music in real life. Eight of them are in the game. The first band, Poppin'Party, got together in February 2015, and more bands were started in 2017 when the mobile game came out. The bands are called Roselia, Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, Hello, Happy World!, Raise A Suilen, Morfonica, MyGO!!!!!, Ave Mujica, and Mugendai Mewtype. All of them play their music in real life too, except for Hello, Happy World!, Afterglow, and Pastel Palettes, who only sing while the instruments are played by other people.
The anime got three seasons of 13 episodes each. The first season was made by Issen and Xebec, and it was on television from January to April 2017. Sanzigen made the second and third seasons. There was also a movie which shows the bands playing a concert, BanG Dream! Film Live in 2019, and a sequel to it, Film Live 2nd Stage, in 2021. Also, two movies about the band Roselia called Episode of Roselia came out in 2021, and another movie which was about Poppin'Party called BanG Dream! Poppin'Dream! came out in 2022.
A spin-off anime show called BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico was made by Sanzigen with DMM.futureworks, and it got two sequels, Pico: Ohmori and Pico Fever!. Another one, Pastel Life, was made by Studio A-Cat. An anime about MyGO!!!!! named BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! came out between June and September 2023. A sequel to It's MyGO!!!!! about Ave Mujica called BanG Dream! Ave Mujica came out from January to March 2025. Another anime, which is going to be a continuation of both It's MyGO!!!! and Ave Mujica, is meant to come out in the future. An anime about the band Mugendai Mewtype, called BanG Dream! Yume∞Mita, started airing in July 2026.
BanG Dream! is liked by people all over the world, and its live performances and mobile game have gotten a lot of attention. The anime has seen mixed but improving reviews with later seasons. In 2018, the franchise expanded to include a male-based counterpart Argonavis from BanG Dream!, which was spun off into an independent brand From Argonavis in 2021.
History
Early history (2015–2016)
Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani wanted to start a music project after seeing the success of Love Live! School Idol Festival, a mobile game published by his company, and came up with the idea for BanG Dream! in March 2014.[3][4] When a staff member went to The Idolmaster Masters of Idol World!! 2014 concert at Saitama Super Arena, they took interest in the guitarist, Aimi, and suggested they have her in an all-female band. Thinking that such a concept would work best as a media franchise, Kidani concluded his new project's best way to be successful would be for the voice actresses to play their own instruments in live shows.[3] Kidani said that BanG Dream! is different from similar music projects because it is not an idol franchise but a "girl band" series.[5]
Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 In North America through Funimation
- ↑ "BanG Dream!" is meant to be a more fun way of saying "Girl Band Dream". The uppercase "G" of "Girl" goes were the lowercase "d" of "Band" would normally be to become "BanG".[2]
