Bang Dream Season 2 — First Impressions

It’s season 02 of Bang Dream and this time they really *clench fist* Bang Dreams.

Unlike the first season, this is all CGI animation, which takes a bit of getting used to and is not always succesful, but on the whole it didn’t really matter for me. Just having all the bands from the game finally in a “real” anime (as opposed to whatever this is) was good enough. This first episode was short on story and mostly was just introducing the bands with a short performance, of which the Rosalia one above and the Hello Happy World one below (including a fleeting appearance of Kaoru-senpai completely flustering Rimi-rin here) were the highlights.

Whether or not you’ll like this probably depends a lot on whether you can watch a full CGI show like this without breaking out into hives. Apart from that, I expect a nicely positive series with not too much plot happening to our characters and a lot of live performances. Also some serious girl on girl relationships. This would always have to do very badly not to become a show I watch, as I’ve been playing the Bang Dream rhythm game almost daily since April or May or something without getting bored of it. Expect no objectivity here.
