The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
The Poppin’ Party girls are enjoying a nice foot bath outside of CiRCLE. If only CiRCLE could turn into a hot springs resort, haha. It’s funny because that actually happened before! Anyway, the girls head inside for some practice. After they’re finished, Marina walks in with some drinks. Unfortunately, she trips over something sticking out of the floor and spills the drinks all over PoPiPa. Oh no! Marina better get some towels but she trips again! Gosh, darn it! What the heck is even sticking out of the floor? And why is it glowing!?
The girls of Roselia have just arrived outside of CiRCLE. Yukina is feeling a tad bit dispirited. She can’t think of any ideas for a new song. Only the best of the best can satisfy her. She needs a song that’s like an explosive force hurling into the sky! Speaking of explosive forces hurling into the sky, that’s exactly what’s happening at CiRCLE right now! All the members of Roselia are SHOCKED. On a side note, they made the most adorably shocked faces. They’re not the only ones that are surprised though! The green beam shooting up from CiRCLE can be seen all around town. The members of Afterglow and Pastel✽Palettes are startled. Kokoro from Hello, Happy World! wonders if they’re having a party over there, haha.
Naturally, all the girls head over to CiRCLE to see what the heck is going on. Kasumi reveals that they’ve discovered an ancient alien artifact that oddly resembles a guitar. The news spreads fast, too. As you can imagine, CiRCLE becomes the center of attention for the rest of the week. Experts come in to study the artifact as well. PoPiPa decides to stop by CiRCLE on their way home one day but can’t find it!? Not only that, but the other bands also can’t find it! Where the heck did CiRCLE go!?
In Summary:
There was a void left in my heart when the third season of the BanG Dream! anime ended last season. Will the new season of this Girls Band Comedy fill that void? Yes, yes it will. Its adorable absurdity will brighten up my week! By the way, nobody died in this episode! If my statement perplexes you, then you’re clearly new to the series. It’s a running joke that someone may die randomly at any time. For the record, the death count in the previous season was pretty high. I bet some people are only watching this show to see who dies first. Sounds kind of dark, doesn’t it? I assure you, this is a cute and fun show…most of the time. Although, CiRCLE is gone. Does that count as a death? What if Marina was still inside!?
