BanG Dream! – Final Review

August 7, 2017 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Artist: 刃天

A few months back, I shared my thoughts about Kidani Takaaki believing that idol boom will die and the band boom will happen. Of course, that never really went into fruition since girl band shows are not too different from idol anime.

In other words, he believes that idols will make way for the girl-band boom. However, I am very skeptical of that for many reasons that I will share.
