but you dont know where to start? well, im making this big masterpost for you and anyone else who is interested in bandori, but also doesnt really know how to approach the franchise.

there is an overwhelming amount of content for bandori, and it can be really daunting for any new fans who want in on it, so i will try to make it a bit easier!

this is a long ass post, so im putting it under a readmore (dont worry, my blog theme is readable)

what is bandori?

BanG Dream! or “bandori” is a franchise about cute anime girls playing in bands. 

there is a rhythm gatcha game for ios and android devices, an anime, and more.

the game features original music as well as covers of other songs, such as the opening theme to gekkan shoujo,the ending theme to K-on!,the vocoloid song 1, 2 fanclub by mikitop, and lots more

okay where do i start then?

this is my personal opinion, but i think the best way to ease yourself into bandori without being overwhelmed is to go one band at a time.

there are 5 bands each compromising of 5 girls, and where you should start depends on which band you want to learn about first.

if you want to learn about Poppin’ Party first, you should start with season 1 of the anime.they are the poster band of the franchise, and the main characters of the anime. the first season tells the story of how the band formed. in the game, their first band story takes place chronologically after the first season.

if you want to learn about Afterglowfirst, you should start with their first band story from the game. you can unlock each chapter of the afterglow band story in game by leveling up the band rank to 20, or you can watch the entirety of afterglows first band story on youtube, here

if you want to learn about Pastel*Palettes first, you should start with their first band story from the game. you can unlock each chapter of the pastel palettes band story in game by leveling up the band rank to 20, or you can watch the entirety of pastel palettes first band story on youtube, here

if you want to learn about Roselia first, you should start with their first band story from the game. you can unlock each chapter of the roselia band story in game by leveling up the band rank to 20, or you can watch the entirety of roselias first band story on youtube, here

if you want to learn about Hello, Happy World! first, you should start with their first band story from the game. you can unlock each chapter of the hello happy world band story in game by leveling up the band rank to 20, or you can watch the entirety of hello happy worlds first band story on youtube, here

does it matter who i start with?

no, it does not matter who you choose to start with, however, even if youve watched season 1 of the anime, i recommend you read all of the band stories before watching season 2, because season 2 features all 25 girls and assumes the viewers know who they are.

if you are unsure on who you want to start with, you can read a brief description of each character here

other content

after youve fully introduced yourself to each of the bands, you can enjoy more of the abundance of content the franchise has to offer.

event stories:

you can unlock event stories in the game by playing during the event, or, if you missed the event, the chapters will unlock “after a little while” according to the game.

if you dont care to play the game, you can easily find many of the event stories uploaded on youtube. if you want to know the chronology of the event stories, go here,they are listed from newest to oldest.

spin-off anime (”garupa pico”):

“BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! ☆ Pico” is a chibi spin-off comedy series. each episode is 3 minutes long and there are 26 episodes. they are available with english subs on the official bang dream youtube channel here

“PASTEL LIFE” is another chibi spin-off comedy series, centered around pastel palletes. each episode is 3.5 minutes long, and there are 6 episodes. they are available with english subs on the official bang dream youtube channel here

comics:

there are chibi 4-koma and 1-koma comics that are available to read in game. i believe you can read them immediately without having to unlock anything, or you can read some of them here


okay, thats about the gist of it!! i love bandori and im happy that its getting so popular!! and just so you know, i myself have not even read all of the band stories, theres so much content, that i tend to take it easy and space out when to read them, rather than just binging it all at once.

most fans end up clinging to their favorite band, and primarily follow them, while only casually keeping up with the other 4. there are also a great deal of fans whove never watched season 1 of the anime, just because its poppin party centric, and they arent interested in them. its your choice! happy bang dreaming or whatever lol
