Bang Dream and its difficult journey to the top (it almost died) 

Damn. I feel like a parent watching this game grow up.

As someone who's been following Bushiroad through card games since 2012, it's amazing to see how far BanG Dream and by extension the company has come. I remember the anime and initial doujin event basically killing the franchise that the company had been pushing so much for months, at least that's how it seemed at the time. That Bushiroad was able to make the mobile game such a success and turn the entire franchise around after basically being at rock bottom for a franchise was amazing to experience firsthand. There was much doom and gloom about the franchise before Garupa, and Garupa's launch was felt revolutionary. I'm happy to see you making videos about Bushiroad and BanG Dream's wild journey, thank you.

Only two words Hidamari Rhodonite 💛

It's shocking to find out that bushiroad CEO net worth is even less compared to Mr beast

played bang dream since it's release so proud of how far this game and franchise has come

Been looking for analysis on how Bandori works and I’d say you’re doing great. As a day 1 player I could agree with most of your points. The franchise almost died after the first season of the anime. I’d say the game was really their last gamble. That’s why aside from 2 performing band they try create 3 other bands consisting of many high profile seiyuu (Afterglow that full of big names, Pasupare with idol graduates+big names, and HHW filled with up and coming talents) to see if band talent is really needed or they only need high profile seiyuu. Wouldn’t we know it, both of the works. Their best decision on the game, like you said, is that they do cover songs. At that point there’s not a single idol rhythm game doing song cover and it make sense since they’re high school bands. Make the players be comfortable with songs they know first, start playing with the original song after playing all cover songs, getting to know the characters better, and in the end fell in love with it. Bushi and Aimin work really hard to make Bandori works and make all of the seiyuus not just being a co-worker but as a big family. Bandori is not just about the game characters but it’s also about the seiyuus. I’d say Bandori could achieve what K-On! fail to do (K-On! tried to make 2 other bands like Wakaba Girls and Onna Gumi but failed) and create the path for Bushi on anime-game franchise (Revue, D4DJ, Assault Lily).

very well made video! is it bad that I half way hope Bandori doesn't do a show by rock and have like 35 bands idk it doesn't suit bandori in my opinion

This was a really interesting video on the series!

Poppin' Party's Romeo and Cinderella and Roselia's Charles covers was what got me into Bandori

Sadly Aya Maruyama's VA quit her seiyuu career because of health. So for a while Aya will not be voice until they found a suitable replacement.

I think the way bushiroad advertises Bang Dream also helped the growth Like for myself I know Bang Dream not from the game but from the other Bushiroad card games

i love thisss, since it only marks a year since i started playing bandori this is very educational thank you :))

Y'know I used to ignore bang dream because I thought it was just some idol anime Oh and how i regret that decision

I love your videos!

je suis vraiment impressionné par le fait que les seiyuu jouent *vraiment* leurs instruments pendant les performances, c'est du très très haut niveau ! (pour prendre un exemple, y'a qu'à voir l'actrice de Ako dans les performances de Fire Bird, ça laisse sans voix! quelle virtuosité à la batterie!)

i cannot imagine bandori with 40 bands … my brain would explode

Bang dream! Girls band party!

Bonsoir, vu que je ne comprend pas trop trop l’anglais (tu vas finir par en avoir marre à force que je le dise x)) du coup est ce que tu peux me confirmer ou non ce que j’ai plus ou moins capté: le projet BD est né dès cendres d’une autre franchise qui voulait surfer sur la vague des idols mais qui n’a pas rencontré le succès escompté? Pour ma part j’ai découvert ma franchise par... l’anime et en suite j’ai ponçais le jeu mobile. Et depuis ça fait partie des musiques que j’écoute le plus. Comme tu le dis, c’est des girl band avant d’être une licence (du moins c’est comme ça que c’est vendue), c’est ce qui m’a plus! As tu un groupe préféré parmi les 7? Ou une « waifu »?

Thank you bang dream you inspire me to play guitar And I'm a guy

How big are idols stages?
