A chibi-style comedy spin-off inside the BanG Dream! multimedia franchise, bringing together characters from across its many in-universe bands for lighter, reunion-style skits rather than the mainline story's band drama. Animated by AtoriE, it leans on the franchise’s built-in cast recognition for quick comedic bits.
52-episode, 1-minute mini-anime ONA by AtoriE, aired from Oct 2, 2025 to Oct 1, 2026[1][2]
A comedy in which members of the ten BanG Dream! bands gather as "BanG Dream Chan" returns; billed as an avant-garde, laugh-out-loud girl band comedy[1][2]
Directed by Kenshirou Morii (with Seiya Miyajima); original creator Kou Nakamura; alternative version of BanG Dream! Garupa Pico; MAL score 7.19[1][2]
The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
