| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That Kasumi really has a good deal amount of confidence. On the other hand, I'm glad they're bringing out more of Kokoro's character. I wonder if this season will bring out the most from its main cast for each individual. Those outfits looked a bit gimmicky though imo but entertaining. Neat masks. |
 |
| This was a fun episode, reminded me a bit of garupa pico. Michelle got quite the upgrade haha. Looking forward to Pastel*Palletes next week. |
  |
| Did Kokoro just jump out of a third story window... into a backflip?! This episode was some more nice fanservice for the mobile game players, as I'm assuming anime-only watchers wouldn't be too aware of who HaroHapi is or its band members. While it seems that anime-only watchers may be getting the shaft here, there was still a lot of enjoyable content for everyone. I loved every second of this episode, start to finish. I'm not a huge HaroHapi fan, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grinning along to their stupid antics. Specifically, after all the mobile game's band stories and events, I was never a huge Kokoro fan. But this?  This is a smile you've gotta protect. While this episode pretty much was a rehash of the Phantom Thief event from the mobile game with PoPiPa included, it gave a nice bit of depth to the HaroHapi members, even if it's only for one episode. This has got me excited to see what they'll do with the other bands, with Pastel*Palettes next week (Maya hype!) and hopefully Afterglow afterwards! |

| This was the most glorious episode till date. xD I knew we were in for something special with the Hello Happy episode this week but this surpassed anything that I would've expected. xD The staff probably had a lot of fun working on this episode. Kaoru's ponytail seems shorter than I thought, I always thought it was longer. When Kokoro literally jumped out the window and cartwheeled all the way, I was speechless. XD Gotta love Kokoro, while she may be a little obnoxious, ultimately all she wants is for people to smile. :) Need some Persona tunes when Hello Happy where sending out them calling cards. Honestly if that happened, I don't know how I would've reacted. :3 Hello Happy are basically Unlimited Budget Works. xD Iron Man Michelle was pure gold. XD PasuPare next week. :D I hope we get a lot of PasuPare and Afterglow. |

| That was amazing! How to not love Best Girls Misaki and Kokoro. But now we had to add Supernatural, Super Powers, Mecha and Fantasy in the genres, lul. |
| Hilarious episode! Did Kokoro just jump from the third floor and doing cartwheels after landing? And how fucking rich is she?! |
 |
| Hello Happy World! may not be one of my fave bands from the series but goddamn do I love the fact that their super wackiness and fun nature shown from Pico was carried onto the main anime, ngl this episode was good and funny, literally HHW makes things fun. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Only Kokoro could jump out of a high window like that and cartwheel to everyone. Kaoru has all the girls attention as usual lol, she actually has an incredible voice, easily the best in HHW. How do you catch a phantom thief on a ship that damn big lol. Wow, you talk about going all out, giant Michelle carrying them in the sky and equipping Michelle with wings and rockets like that, also a nice firewoks display. No surprise it was a fun and enjoyable episode, this is Hello, Happy World! Pastel*Palettes next time by the looks of it. Shuwa Shuwa Shuwarin Dreaming. |

| It's over. The show has officially peaked. As expected of HaroHapi, they made this look and feel like a different anime altogether. In fact it felt like GaruPa PICO was back, this episode brought me so much fun and laughter. Definitely the kind of tone that suits BanDori the most. |
| what can i say? THIS ANIME IS F****** PERFECT! DAMN! |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Finally I got an episode with my adored Kaoru, lol. I never thought that I would write it, but the level of yur..khm, hakanai is insufficient, I demand more, lol. If no joke, then I was somewhat surprised that what was happening was so eccentric and implausible. Or is it normal for a franchise? |
 |
| Meh.. i'm the only who don't like this episode? I love HHW, i really love Kokoro-chan but.. it's all surreal and stupid for me. I like most a simple episode like Roselia's Concert or all the episode from Season 1. I hope the next episodes are more seriously than this >< |

| having rewatched season 1 which i really liked i just find this too random and weird with all the new characters that just kind of exist and do random shit like this episode.. its less about kasumi forming a band and more about random comedy fanservice crap.. |
| That would be a banger of a concert if Popipa did that, every thing was spectacular in IMHO! Kokoro is such a reckless one, but I kinda like that bubbly side of hers. Poor Michelle! |

| Finally, Kaoru, now I just need some KaoruxChisato and I will be fully satisfied. I found myself pressing the notes while Goka! Goukai!? Fantom Ship! (ゴーカ！ごーかい！？ファントムシーフ！) and Sekai Nobbinobi Treasure! (せかいのっびのびトレジャー！). I like HHW! music for some reason, even if I would say it is my least favorite band. Good to see I'm not the only one that is a huge fan of Kokoro like it seems everyone else that plays the game is. I really try liking her, I don't even know why I don't like her. Now to Pastel*Palettes :) |

I haven't played it, so for me this was Garupa Pico: The Movie. General zaniness, killing band girls, everybody wants to fly....  I was expecting this season to be relatively serious and realistic... not on HHW's watch. Good. I'd much rather this over that weak season 1 drama. |
| Best episode to date, we get to see Arisa talking to her bonsais again hehe and damn Michelle got a huge upgrade |
bread is yummy |
| 10000000000+++ out of 5 pure gold! Might be the best episode so far.. no, it will be the best episode this whole season!! Yes I'm biased. Got a problem with my taste? XD I was expecting something crazy from my favourite band in the anime, but tbh, since seeing their concert were pretty normal in the 1st episode, I wasn't expecting as much anymore. But then BOOM! A few seconds of the anime and I already see Michelle falling from the sky.. lol XD There's not much stage performance, but hey we can see a bit references from the game's event for the song with the addition of Poppin'Party. And all that craziness lift up to my expectation! Oh how I love this band so much.... |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| HHW is my favorite band from the game (tied with roselia) and 1 week waiting for this episode really paid off.... I mean, 5 secods into the anime I thought I watch different anime (I even check the title again to make sure I'm watching bang dream season 2 not Honkai Impact 3rd(?)) and damn its Michelle flying out of nowhere... Then... Kokoro just jump from third floor and cartwheel into Popipa just make me speechless and think "this eps gonna be crazy" Well it did! How Karou giving the invitation like a ninja, then the Popipa picked up by the black suite... Then Goka! Gokai? Phantom Thief! kicks in... I haven't watch the Phantom Thief story in game but surely HHW did a great concert! When the "encore" started with the Michelle ballon appear from the city and Worldwide Treasure! music starts... that was the one of the most hype moment I ever felt in my life!! And then the Misa x Koko moment so cute but intense too.... And the eps ended with Karou and Misaki passed out >_< 11/10 surely want to see flying HHW concert again I think Kokoro just crash into my top 5 girls in Bang Dream Series >_< |

| I thought they're going to kill Misaki again like they did in Garupa Pico uwu |

| Okay I want my own Iron man bear suit too also using the konami code to unlock the flight mode was freaking hilarious |

| thought i was watching the wrong show in that opening still continued to think i was watching the wrong show and it was great this was the most out of reality episode to date that i did not expect also Kokoro is rich af but actually uses her wealth for others |
 |
| Well, that was certainly one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while... |
 |
| At last, HHW's 5 living memes come to the rescue turning the quality of the show up to 11 in a single episode. |

Platypys said: Yeah while I understand the appeal of randomness, this felt more like a special/OVA than a regular episode. I guess the series is telling the secondaries/S1-only crowd to move on. But I love Popipa, and if they hadn't made such a good first season a lot of people wouldn't be here, so it's conflicting to see the direction where this is going. Rahzek said: I was left feeling the same... Sure it is very HHW, but it also feels very out of place after the first 3 episodes..I honestly logged on after seeing episode 4 of BanG Dream! S2 hoping there would be more people as devastated as I was at how absolutely terrible it was...but was shocked to find no one else outraged but that they actually enjoyed it. It was like they scrapped the realism of the entire series; I was already upset when Kokoro jumped out of that 3rd story window, and even a bit more angry when Kaoru's castle walls crumbled strategically after she was done using them...but when I had to sit there for 12 minutes hoping they were in the middle of a dream that Kasumi was having when the S.S. Smile bullshit came in I was just left with this unanswered question or whether or not that was really a dream or if they were actively trying to ruin the series. I guess they felt the need to make me care a little bit less about those newly introduced characters from their mobile game and ultimately the series direction...everyone else seems to be a bit lost here. |
 |
| really!? Am I watching a Chuuni show? lolz 4/5. |
 |
| No idea what I just watched. |
| Terrible episode, ended up mostly fast forwarding threw it because it was just a silly mess. This show is going down the toilet atm. |

I played the game a lot but I'm one of the minorities that didn't enjoy this episode as it really kinda ruins the realism of the past episodes/series. Even though I know Hello Happy always does things to the extremity but it really got way too unrealistic. I agree with you that it would be more suitable if it's an OVA or something. |

| Some Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight vibes for a second. WGee you can do anything if you're a young, crazy billionaire. hat a fun band. |
| This was so random with the blonde jumping from the third floor and then doing cartwheels or the fucking iron bear suit... but I loved it lmao. As anime only I think they did a good job with HHW in this episode, I didn't know anything about them but I already love them, they are a very crazy and fun band. My favorites are Kokoro and Misaki; Kokoro with her superhuman abilities, smile power and unlimited richness and Misaki being the normal of the group, poor girl xD. |
| They have a - F K I N G - Iron Man Bear Suit.. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| I am loving it that this season we have episodes focused on the other bands, Kokoro sure is something! She does a lot with all her money haha |
 |
| What a pointless episode. And here I thought this season was turning out to be much better than the first. This felt like nothing more than a tech demo for the animators to show off their CGI animation. |
| I loooobe this band and its members so much haha xd never fail to make one smile |

| Episode 1, 2, 3 just awesome episode and this one seriously terrifying 3/10. Out of my taste. |
 |
| The flying part was good, seems like the scenaries are way better than in the first season |
 |
| Hello Happy World is the craziest group so far. Kokoron, Michelle, and that girl who keeps saying shakesphere made me laugh so hard. xD |
