Roselia will also sing Second season OP titled Brave Jewel.

I won't be surprised now if each band will get one OP from them.

Bang bang bang. Looks like a step up K on anime. This should be good for music lover.

Eh, guess I'll pick up the first season again

This is preview of Roselia MV Neo-Aspect.

This is made by Sanzigen so the quality of anime CG won't be far from this.

I LOVE bandori (i play the game wildly although i was so mad when i used up all my gems and they increased the gacha rate by 2x......) so i cant wait for this! i have to get around to watching the first season too! i hope rimi, yukina and himari will have lots of screentime! T.T plox come to me my girls...

also male band added to project makes me really happy! i hpoe they'll be in a separate app if they even get one tho!! if its a live2d game like bandori i'll squeal so hard xDD bandori's live2d is really smooth!

It seems like a new male band "Argonavis" has been added to the project. Three of five members announced are new seiyuus from Hibiki.

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

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.

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.

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.

Well tbh u peeps i never played any mobile rhythm games lik LLSIF,IM@S and this Bang Dream playing these rhythm games makes me felt like i had a bad accuracy rating of 10 % when i'm holding a gun in a firing range and honestly my hands of mine are made for FPS games only

isnt it the funnest part in the game? to suck at it and do your best to become better?
Isnt it better to have a challenge and try your hardest so after you suceed its gonna be the best feeling ever?
Or would you prefer some modern game where everything is ez pz that its not even fun to play?

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.

yes, i tried bang dream game because my friend played it and i am still very bad, maybe because i am already used to Love Live game so it's hard to adapt with bang dream rhythm map
