True.

In fact, I tried playing the game too because it's widely talked by my friends.

What a coincidence that I just finished re-watching the first season with my friend and we both wished for a sequel!

I'm surprised it took them so long. The game is very popular and even has a English version released. But I'm glad to see it back! I missed my Poppin' Party girls so much! Hoping to see more appearances from other bands!

Plan to watch S1 soon,interesting how the new studio is SANZIGEN who mainly do 3DCG.
Back when it just released in Japan I suck at it too and it take a month to become decent player. There are no stamina system in the game so you can practice as much as possible.

Two new seasons and two short chibi anime (including Pastel Life)? It’s a feast for us Bandori fans.

Still need to watch the first season but if Afterglow and the other bands are definitely in the upcoming seasons then I’ll definitely get round to it

Hey dude, listen. Bang Dream! is pretty difficult imo for a rhythm game compared to others out there, especially since the recent English version retained the original Japanese app's v.0.0.1 lagginess (not the exact version number but do you get my point?), and even the current Japanese version still has some issues. Rhythm games aren't everyone's cup of tea so instead of being rude, idk, how about fanboying/fangirling with VanishingKira over the new anime seasons or something.

Really though, that was uncalled for.

Its hard! Damn it.. other than that, cool game..

Great news ! I haven't been able to play the game yet (curse my phone for having so little space), but I'm really looking forward to having a broader look of the franchise ! Is there any info on how many episodes both announced seasons will have too ? Although they are indeed said to air each during one season so I'm guessing they'll be 12-13 episodes like the first one, but I'd really like more if there is enough material.
Either way I'm pretty hyped up !

There is a stamina sytem the fire icon thing and getting free rolls takes way too long.
You have to wait for a month to save for a 10-11 roll.

The fire system is only for the boosts, which are for getting more exp and event points. You can play even if the fire icons are at zero. You just don’t get a boost.

Not really. I can do 10x roll every event which is like 10 day. In JP the game is very generous at giving free star. There are various login bonus and live stream bonus. Sometimes those bonus overlap and you can get double bonus in a single day. Though there are no login bonus yet in English.

Live reports, as @NeoAnkara mentioned, it was announced that Yuki Nakashima will replace Yurika Endou for the role of Lisa Imai of Roselia.
