Of course I have, I'm a Kasumi super-fan! I forget if you linked me to it once or if I found it while looking for that scene to include in my Kasumi writeup when I was doing my anime ranking, but its burned into my memory. I'll have to listen to it again when I get home.

That scene is legit my favorite part of the franchise too, I'm not kidding. That was when I fell in love with Kasumi.

If you're such a Kasumi super fan then why haven't you watched the Poppin'Dream movie yet?

Don't ask me why I haven't watched the Episode of Roselia movies yet either

Actually maybe you should as an uplift.

Love Live always felt unrealistic. Like, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but at no point did anyone in Love Live....suck? They practice a ton, do wayyyy more actual musical sequences, but they're pretty much professional idols from the very second they get on stage.

Yeah it's only when they practice when they show any weakness like getting tired out. The reason why the dance sequences have to look so good from the get go is because it's often what gets used for the choreography in the actual live performances, so that stuff has to get replicated even as unrealistic as it seems in-universe (the Yohane anime was a big offender of this).

But with BanG Dream (and probably Girls Band Cry as well) their lives are just them playing songs like any band performing on a tour would. So they can afford to mess up in-universe if the narrative deems it so.

Roba I'm sorry but I'm having to slowskip past the supposed franchise highlight you mentioned earlier I cannot watch this scene lol.

But this is peak music!

(I do wish videos of this version of the song didn't contain weird animations but whatever it takes to avoid the copyright strike I guess)

Actually Roba, have you even heard Kasumi sing the song in English before?

Oh I was completely unaware that these shows were presenting new content, I thought they were adaptations of existing in game stories. That she's an entirely new light on this whole deal. Thanks Lens!

I've started Bang Dream S1. This looks....fine? I'm assuming either the production starts to tank as the show goes on, or they really did some work on the BRD releases.

Yeah that's the thing about these multimedia franchises, sometimes the story telling is divided between anime and game. BanG Dream is a case where it's the game that adapts the anime plot (even S1-3), but so much of the story (especially for the other bands) is told through the game.

I may have exaggerated a bit with the Season 1 animation, but I remember some shots looking really weird especially because of how their eyes are drawn. Though maybe they really did clean it up with the blu-rays. I think I watched it through Crunchyroll.

Though I guess Season 1 is suddenly lost media because you can't really watch it legally anywhere and the blu-ray is apparently out of stock in stores.

Anyone want to trade for MyGO? Can save now.

I'll explain a few things about Ave Mujica from the last page as someone who follows the franchise that may shed some light to why episode 13 of MyGO is the way it is.

So when Ave Mujica was first unveiled, only the characters' stage names were given. They were pretty much an unknown to the community. Then the MyGO anime started to air and people noticed some of the characters shown looked like members from Ave Mujica, and that's when it was picked up on that they would be part of this anime too.

So people were able to piece out that:

Oblivionis = Sakiko (Keyboard)
Doloris = Uika (Vocal and Guitar)
Mortis = Mutsumi (Guitar)
Timoris = Umiri (Bass)
Amoris = Nyamu (Drums)

Now here's the thing, throughout the time the anime was airing, the Ave Mujica VAs only announced that they were voicing their characters as the character and not the stage name even though it was obvious to the fans who was who. So you get a Superman/Clark Kent situation.

Now episode 13 comes along Ave Mujica has suddenly formed, each character says their stage name, and now the VAs can formally announce which member they are despite it being no surprise. So in the end it was a big marketing thing and a setup for the next season.

I'll say that in the game, there's a retelling of the MyGO anime story and it ends where episode 12 ends. So episode 13 really was meant as a bonus.

I mentioned earlier that Rui from Morfonica was my least favorite BanG Dream franchise character. That position has now been taken by Rana. Ugh, she's so lame. She's just a pale imitation of Hina (instantly good at everything, finds other people interesting for odd reasons), except Rana added nothing to her group's dynamic.

So your reason is valid, but that's Raana's thing to her character. She's like a "stray cat" that does whatever she pleases and is completely detached to all the drama that the other 4 go through. She's an outsider that barged her way into the group. Considering her flightiness, I would say they were trying to not make her too much like Tae. They play the same instrument after all.

As for Mutsumi and Sakiko, there's a theory floating around between those two, but that's for next season to see if anything comes to light.

Chu2. Her reason behind everything she did really really bugged me.

Really, the only issue I have is that the VA work is pretty unbalanced. Anon herself sounds, uh, bad? Like, noteabley bad. Still not totally used to it.

Man, it was like her first role (well major one at least) and odds are she was given the role because of her guitar playing.

UshiromiyaEva posted...

It sounds like the original anime is more on the Idolmaster/LL side of things like I expected with this one, probably more towards IM?

You could say that. It actually gets compared to Love Live a lot because they're just forming a group without any agency involved, and they're all in high school. Season 1 being as low budget as it was, almost tanked the entire franchise. It was the game that really saved it. It's a miracle how it went from being nearly dead to getting 2 more seasons, a couple movies, and an off-shoot continuation anime.

As for the original BanG Dream anime.

S1, I went into with pretty low expectations but I found out it to be pretty solid. I like the band formation story, but it is pretty hampered by its derpy animation. Sometimes the characters look straight-up dead on the inside. Season 1 also brings in the significance about the hints Raana drops in MyGO regarding who she's related to. It's not really something you would pick up on unless you follow the franchise.

S2, here they expect the audience to play the game since all the other bands come in with only a small introduction. However, there are really only 3 bands you need to give much attention to and they are Poppin' Party, Roselia, and Raise A Suilen (and RAS doesn't even get formed in this season). Of the original 3 seasons, this is probably my favorite. I loved seeing all the bands interact in an animated way. That said it is bogged down by a pretty awful plot point and it's the one that Roba is referring to, but however bad I thought it was, it didn't break the season for me.

S3.....puts a lot of focus on who's quite possibly my least favorite character in the whole franchise (and that's even taking MyGO and Ave Mujica into account). It's still fine for the most part, and I really like the ending sequence of it, but it's my least favorite season of the anime.

All that said, MyGO is still my favorite out of the BanG Dream anime. As dramatic as it is, at least none of it really bothered me, which is something I can't say about the original anime.

The fact that it raised 19 million makes the whole thing sound like a giant grift.

Let's see where they are a year later.

I am realizing that an H4 trade is cutting it really close regardless.

Oh and I'm not sure if you've noticed but there's an FFXVI collab event going on that ends early morning on Wednesday.

And there's maintenance throughout Monday night. The collab event itself is only like half an hour, so it's not terribly long. It's just neat for the mount, minion, and glamor.

Basically just swapped out Super Star Wars for Rogue Leader from the unofficial topic. I don't know if Super Star Wars even gets much recognition other than a being hard game on SNES. And I only re-found out that Rogue Squadron II is the subtitle for Rogue Leader.

For the last two, just assume I'm voting for whatever the most popular series rep in the topic is.

For Tekken, I see Tekken 3 in this topic the most. For Mortal Kombat, that's the one. And I assume it's the first Mortal Kombat (can't even call it MK1 anymore) and not Mortal Kombat (2011), which is what NRS officially calls MK9.

Baccano

Clearly it was The King of Fighters '94. Kids seeing all those SNK characters together in a fighting game must have been a treat to them.

There are Arena Fighters, which is what Dissidia and a bunch of anime fighting games are.

I don't know what the likes of Power Stone, Ehrgeiz, and Super Dragon Ball are seen as.

Unless you want to lump all of those as 3D fighters.

I guess people would argue that the Smash fanbase is different from the general fighting game fanbase, but I think it did expand the base.

Yes. MenaRD, widely considered among the best Street Fighter players in present day, did compete in Smash Bros in the past.
