BanG Dream! English Sub & Dub

About BanG Dream!

BanG Dream! (BanG Dream!（バンドリ！）) blends comedy, drama and music by Xebec and Issen (2017). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Kasumi Toyama was enthralled by the stars as a young girl, so when she finds out a trail of star-shaped signs one day after transferring to a new school, she can't help but follow them. They lead her to a shop run by the grandmother of one of her new classmates, and Kasumi finds something that will change her life forever: a star-shaped guitar!

Beyond that: Just like that, Kasumi knows that forming a band is her destiny. Of course, convincing Arisa and her grandmother to sell her the guitar won't be easy, and finding a group of other girls who want to become musicians will be even harder. When a girl has stars in her eyes and a starbeat in her heart, there's nothing that will stop Kasumi from making her fantasies come true!

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kasumi Toyama (Aimi) and Arisa Ichigaya (Ayasa Itou) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Xebec and Issen, which means the visual identity of BanG Dream! follows that studio's craft.

Voice casting, including Aimi as Kasumi Toyama, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2017, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
