And I should try that Akuma no Riddle one too, I've never heard of it before!

What do you mean? It's been in Save My Favorite Anime Series before! It's English title is Riddle Story of Devil if that jogs your memory.

That said, looks like it's one of the titles from Funimation that didn't transfer to Crunchyroll. So you know where to go to find it.

And while I was searching for it on Crunchyroll I randomly found a 9-minute anime. So here it is if you want to watch something short with no expectations.

Sakura Trick is fine, its just really fluffy because youre dealing with an idiot couple. The anime does end on a really stupid note and thats hands-down the one thing that keeps me from recommending it.

But its great that the author has done some stuff with it post-manga after it ended.

Speaking of Raana, her VA has a TikTok account where she posts videos of her playing various songs, and well, let's just say two of them are from the girls band anime that's airing this season.

I'm surprised you didn't pick up that Sayo and Hina are twins. I guess it's been so ingrained from the start with the game that I didn't think that an anime-only person could possibly not realize that.
Their story is actually considered as one of the highlights of the overarching story throughout the game.

For the astronomy club thing, Hina's catchphrase is something like "ruun~" (localized as Boppin' in English, but Crunchyroll has it as "la la la"), so it came of as a nice nod to her when Anon reads the note out loud.

Now that you watched the first three seasons, you have better context of the hints that Raana drops about her grandma. But on that note, these were mentioned in a Q & A after Season 3 of the anime.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2e78d7d5.jpg

Here's the rest of them if you want to read through them:
https://en.bang-dream.com/news/20200422/post-11

In any case, if you ever want to know what goes on in the game story, there are transcripts for them that you can read through:

https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Main_Story
https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Band_Stories
https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Event_Stories

But you can skip Poppin'Party Band Story 0 and Raise A Suilen Band Story 1 since those are both covered in the anime.

Or watch them through this YouTube channel that looks to have archived them

Season 3 event stories
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcvT6sHhJaeP7LexjLyd1j_BWfoCkd7-X

That channel seems good at keeping up-to-date because the current event story is on there. Just keep in mind that the event stories are in most recent order on the playlists. So if you wanted watch the very first event story, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the Season 1 event playlist.

Since there are a ton of event stories (literally over 200 of them), this is a good site to kind of scan through what the event may be about and to see the card art.

It's a lot of material, so it may not be a bad idea to have those somewhere on hand as a reference.

I'm gonna guess that it involves the current event story with Afterglow on the Japanese server. While I haven't been closely following it, I have a general idea of what's been going on.

Though I gotta say, it's been a pleasant surprise seeing you essentially go through most of the anime material of BanG Dream and even liking it. It's definitely not a franchise I expect a lot people to pick up on, and that's even with MyGO.

I kid you not. Finding out that the voice of Tsubasa in Love Live also voiced Ako was literally how I found out about BanG Dream in the first place. And those two voices could not be more far apart.....until Ako starts singing, then you hear Tsubasa in her voice.

Oh, also sucks that I actually really like all the members of RAS, except Chu2 who is the worst Bang Dream character.

S3.....puts a lot of focus on who's quite possibly my least favorite character in the whole franchise

You came up with the same thought I had.

But I actually do like her parts in RAS songs, so she at least has that going for her.

Still vibe with Afterglow's look, but at least in this season Roselia stole the show. Fire Bird was the best song here.

The Pastel episode was super weird. I get that they only had a single episode to devote to them, but a lip synching incident for their debut seems like it should be.....a much bigger deal than it was? It was treated like "yikes, don't remind me!", when you could do an entire seasons of a show about recovering and coming back from such a thing.

Also, Rock spent a majority of the season being a straight up Poochie, god I hope they do something more meaningful with her in this last season.

You can get more Pastel Palettes from the Pastel Life shorts

You need to turn on CC for subs though.

Like Roba said, their beginning story involved them faking their instrument playing, so they probably didn't want to retread an old storyline too much. Besides you can only cram so much to a 13-episode season that's mainly about the setup of forming another band. I actually remember being surprised that Rokka didn't even join a band by the end of Season 2.

And Roselia: A very serious band
The lyrics: "Lala lalala lala lalala Lala lalala lala lalala"

But they're genuinely my favorite band.

Somewhere in the timeline you're in with S2, Crychic is forming......but that's suppose to be later.

So Hello Happy World have been my least favorite band both music and character-wise (aside from Misaki and Kanon, I like them both a lot)....but they serve their purpose well.

In-universe, they're the group that appeals to kids, and with all the seriousness that happens with the other bands, it nice to have one that's over-the-top silly. There's a joke that all of Sakiko's problems could have been solved if she just ran into Kokoro.

OK I was not prepared for there to suddenly be a dub for S2. Does not seem like the type of show to get a dub!

Probably should just keep it consistent I suppose.

It's the only season of BanG Dream to get a dub! Definitely a weird decision made.

On the topic of LN pricing. I'm not sure if it's an apt comparison, but it is a strange feeling that you get the entire Lord of the Rings + Hobbit box set for the price of like 2 LNs.

Of course I have, I'm a Kasumi super-fan! I forget if you linked me to it once or if I found it while looking for that scene to include in my Kasumi writeup when I was doing my anime ranking, but its burned into my memory. I'll have to listen to it again when I get home.

That scene is legit my favorite part of the franchise too, I'm not kidding. That was when I fell in love with Kasumi.

If you're such a Kasumi super fan then why haven't you watched the Poppin'Dream movie yet?

Don't ask me why I haven't watched the Episode of Roselia movies yet either

Actually maybe you should as an uplift.

Love Live always felt unrealistic. Like, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but at no point did anyone in Love Live....suck? They practice a ton, do wayyyy more actual musical sequences, but they're pretty much professional idols from the very second they get on stage.

Yeah it's only when they practice when they show any weakness like getting tired out. The reason why the dance sequences have to look so good from the get go is because it's often what gets used for the choreography in the actual live performances, so that stuff has to get replicated even as unrealistic as it seems in-universe (the Yohane anime was a big offender of this).

But with BanG Dream (and probably Girls Band Cry as well) their lives are just them playing songs like any band performing on a tour would. So they can afford to mess up in-universe if the narrative deems it so.

Oh I was completely unaware that these shows were presenting new content, I thought they were adaptations of existing in game stories. That she's an entirely new light on this whole deal. Thanks Lens!

I've started Bang Dream S1. This looks....fine? I'm assuming either the production starts to tank as the show goes on, or they really did some work on the BRD releases.

Yeah that's the thing about these multimedia franchises, sometimes the story telling is divided between anime and game. BanG Dream is a case where it's the game that adapts the anime plot (even S1-3), but so much of the story (especially for the other bands) is told through the game.

I may have exaggerated a bit with the Season 1 animation, but I remember some shots looking really weird especially because of how their eyes are drawn. Though maybe they really did clean it up with the blu-rays. I think I watched it through Crunchyroll.

Though I guess Season 1 is suddenly lost media because you can't really watch it legally anywhere and the blu-ray is apparently out of stock in stores.

I'll explain a few things about Ave Mujica from the last page as someone who follows the franchise that may shed some light to why episode 13 of MyGO is the way it is.

So when Ave Mujica was first unveiled, only the characters' stage names were given. They were pretty much an unknown to the community. Then the MyGO anime started to air and people noticed some of the characters shown looked like members from Ave Mujica, and that's when it was picked up on that they would be part of this anime too.

So people were able to piece out that:

Oblivionis = Sakiko (Keyboard)
Doloris = Uika (Vocal and Guitar)
Mortis = Mutsumi (Guitar)
Timoris = Umiri (Bass)
Amoris = Nyamu (Drums)

Now here's the thing, throughout the time the anime was airing, the Ave Mujica VAs only announced that they were voicing their characters as the character and not the stage name even though it was obvious to the fans who was who. So you get a Superman/Clark Kent situation.

Now episode 13 comes along Ave Mujica has suddenly formed, each character says their stage name, and now the VAs can formally announce which member they are despite it being no surprise. So in the end it was a big marketing thing and a setup for the next season.

I'll say that in the game, there's a retelling of the MyGO anime story and it ends where episode 12 ends. So episode 13 really was meant as a bonus.

I mentioned earlier that Rui from Morfonica was my least favorite BanG Dream franchise character. That position has now been taken by Rana. Ugh, she's so lame. She's just a pale imitation of Hina (instantly good at everything, finds other people interesting for odd reasons), except Rana added nothing to her group's dynamic.

So your reason is valid, but that's Raana's thing to her character. She's like a "stray cat" that does whatever she pleases and is completely detached to all the drama that the other 4 go through. She's an outsider that barged her way into the group. Considering her flightiness, I would say they were trying to not make her too much like Tae. They play the same instrument after all.

As for Mutsumi and Sakiko, there's a theory floating around between those two, but that's for next season to see if anything comes to light.
