While it’s been a bit since the BanG Dream anime came out, the multimedia project has been rolling right along in Japan with music, goods, and more. If you didn’t see all of that it’d be easy to be surprised by the reveal that it’s getting two more seasons, both of which will debut next year in the winter and fall seasons of 2019 – and this doesn’t even include the spinoff for Pastel Life that was previously announced.
With the first promotional video out for the second season, it looks like we’re getting some changes with it from the first. This season will have Sanzigen handling the animation production for both of the seasons. They’re also working with DMM futureworks to produce the mini web series BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! ☆ Pico which you can see below.

The first season of the project was directed by Atsushi Ootsuki based on the series composition from Yuniko Ayana. Natsuko Nita adapted the original character designs done by Hitowa Issen and Xebec handled the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Aimi (Aimi Terakawa) as Kasumi Toyama, Ayasa Itou as Arisa Ichigaya, Rimi Nishimoto as Rimi Ushigome, Sae Oozuka as Tae Hanazono and Ayaka Ohashi as Saaya Yamabuki.

Plot Concept: The story follows Kasumi Toyama (played by Poppin’ Party’s lead singer, Aimi) when her life changes on the day she finds a star-shaped guitar. Determined to form an all-girl band, her search leads her to four like-minded souls: Saya, Arisa, Rimi, and Tae (all brought to life by the members of Poppin’ Party).
