The first season was produced by Issen and Xebec, while the main production staff included director Atsushi Ōtsuki and composer Yuniko Ayana. The season follows the creation of the band Poppin'Party by first-year high school student Kasumi Toyama, who wishes to find a heart-pounding sound known as the \"Star Beat\" that she felt as a child. Spanning 13 episodes, it aired from January 21 to April 22, 2017 on Tokyo MX, and was streamed by Anime Network and Crunchyroll.[1][2] An original video animation episode was released on November 22, 2017 on the seventh Blu-Ray/DVD volume.[3]
A second season developed by Sanzigen aired from January 3 to March 28, 2019. Also 13 episodes long, it continues Poppin'Party's story as the band members enter their second year of high school, while also focusing on fellow all-girl bands Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, Roselia, and Hello, Happy World!.[4] Kōdai Kakimoto replaced Ōtsuki as director for the second season, while the rest of the cast reprised their roles.[5]
Sanzigen returned to produce the series' third season, which follows the BanG Dream! Girls Band Challenge and the growth of Raise A Suilen.[6] It was originally scheduled for October 2019, but it was delayed to January 2020. The third season aired from January 23 to April 23, 2020,[7] though the first episode was released on January 7 as it was bundled with a limited-edition Blu-ray release with the season's theme music.[8]
The main series features eight pieces of theme music. Season 1 respectively uses \"Tokimeki Experience!\" and \"Sparkling Dreaming: Sing Girls\",[a] both by Poppin'Party, as the opening and ending themes.[10] The second season's themes are performed by Poppin'Party and Roselia: the former's \"Kizuna Music\" and the latter's \"Brave Jewel\" are used as openings, while \"Jumpin'\" and \"Safe and Sound\" are the endings.[11][12] Poppin'Party performs Season 3's opening \"Initial\" and ending \"Straight Through Our Dreams!\",[b][14] for the final episode, the ending was a collaboration between Poppin'Party, Roselia, and Raise A Suilen.
The anime, which follows fictional representations of the bands, has three seasons of 13 episodes each. The first season, produced by Issen (OLM with Bushiroad) and Xebec, aired from January to April 2017. Sanzigen took over production duties for the second and third seasons, which were respectively broadcast in winter 2019 and 2020. A concert-centric movie BanG Dream! Film Live was released in 2019, followed by a sequel Film Live 2nd Stage in 2021. Three band-focused films have also been produced: the two-part Episode of Roselia series premiered in 2021, followed by BanG Dream! Poppin'Dream! premiered in 2022. Spin-off anime series include BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico and its sequels Pico: Ohmori and Pico Fever! by Sanzigen with DMM.futureworks and Pastel Life by Studio A-Cat.
The voice actresses of Poppin'Party, Roselia, Raise A Suilen, and Morfonica play their respective characters' instruments during live concerts, while the other groups are limited to providing vocals.[61] In a 2019 interview with Billboard Japan, Roselia's Haruka Kudō and Megu Sakuragawa described this distinction of being a \"voice actor's band\" as helping the franchise gain popularity among those unfamiliar with the game and anime,[80] while the anime's second- and third-season director Kōdai Kakimoto explained in 2020 that his staff implements events from the live-action concerts into the show to \"portray the connection between real life and anime.\" For example, the third season's final episode features references to the BanG Dream! 7th Live as both take place at the Nippon Budokan.[81] The first season under Issen also incorporated elements of the performances into the plot, such as Kasumi losing her voice in one episode being based on the same occurring to Aimi during the franchise's first show.[3]
The first season, which was animated by Issen and Xebec and directed by Atsushi Ōtsuki, aired from January 21 to April 22, 2017, on Tokyo MX.[106][107] The 13-episode series follows Poppin'Party's creation and the band performs the show's opening and ending theme music \"Tokimeki Experience!\" and \"Sparkling Dreaming: Sing Girls\".[e][109] The anime was streamed on the Anime Network and by Crunchyroll,[106][110] and was later released across seven Blu-ray and DVD volumes. An original video animation episode received advanced screenings before being available on the seventh BD/DVD volume released on November 22.[111]
Airing from January 3 to March 28, 2019, and simulcast on Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, BanG Dream! 2nd Season increases its scope to include Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, Roselia, Hello, Happy World!, and Raise A Suilen.[119][120] Unlike its predecessor, the season features a larger emphasis on concerts, which Sanzigen reflected by titling each episode after songs (the first season used \"fun and cute\" titles that followed a subject and verb sentence structure).[81] It had two opening themes: \"Kizuna Music\" by Poppin'Party and \"Brave Jewel\" by Roselia, and two ending themes: \"Jumpin'\" by Poppin'Party and \"Safe and Sound\" by Roselia.[121][103] An English dub of the season was released on Blu-ray and began streaming on HIDIVE on April 21, 2020;[122][123] the dub was directed by John Swasey and licensed by Sentai.[124]
The third season was originally scheduled for October 2019 before being delayed to January 2020.[125] It details Poppin'Party's participation in the BanG Dream! Girls Band Challenge and the growth of Raise A Suilen;[126] the premise of a competition had been entertained by the animation staff prior to beginning production on the second season.[81] With more focus on the bands' individual development, the season's episode titles were taken from lines stated by the characters in the episodes.[81] BanG Dream! 3rd Season aired from January 23 to April 23, 2020,[127] though the first episode came out on January 7 as it was bundled with a limited-edition Blu-ray release for Poppin'Party's \"Initial / Straight Through Our Dreams!\".[128] The single's tracks are also the season's theme music, with \"Initial\" as the opening and \"Straight Through Our Dreams!\" as the ending.[129] Kakimoto and the previous season's staff returned for the new installment.[130] HIDIVE's simulcast began with the January 7 premiere date, while VRV also assumed streaming rights.[104][131]
Among Western reviewers, the second season was generally seen as an improvement story- and animation-wise. In an article for Polygon, Julia Lee listed the season as one of \"six new anime series to watch this winter\", praising the emphasis on the new bands and the switch to CGI \"without losing much of the artistic style that made the first (season) pop.\"[194] Farris questioned the inclusion of new characters without much introduction, writing it was a jarring transition for those unfamiliar to Girls Band Party!. Nevertheless, he commended its emotional impact and increase in musical numbers, grading the season as a \"C+\" as he felt there were \"still a lot of caveats to iron out before it can be called a true success for all but the most devoted.\"[195] Beveridge praised the season's performances for its fluid animation and \"infectious energy\" in the songs, and added that although he was not invested in the individual characters, he found it \"incredibly easy to be engaged from episode to episode and enjoy the journey.\"[122] 59ce067264
