BanG Dream (stylized as BanG Dream!) is a multimedia music franchise created by Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani. The project launched in January 2015, originally beginning as a manga before expanding into various media formats. Since then, BanG Dream has grown to include additional manga series, TV anime series, live concerts, singles and albums, VTuber projects, and a mobile rhythm game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!
The franchise’s first band, Poppin’Party, was formed in February 2015. Additional bands were introduced in 2017 alongside the launch of the mobile game, including Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, Roselia, and Hello, Happy World!
The first anime season premiered in January 2017 with 13 episodes and was co-animated by Issen (a collaboration between OLM and Bushiroad) and Xebec. Studio Sanzigen later took over animation production for the second and third seasons, which aired in 2019 and 2020, respectively. A concert-focused anime film, BanG Dream! Film Live was released in 2019, followed by its sequel Film Live 2nd Stage in 2021.
More recently, an anime series focusing on the eighth and ninth bands, MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica were released and are also animated by studio Sanzigen. BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! premiered in June 2023, followed by its sequel BanG Dream! Ave Mujica, which debuted in January 2025. A sequel to the MyGO and Ave Mujica anime series was also announced.
