Review:
Bang Dream is a delightful moe anime about music bands. The anime story is a bit more dramatic than K-On! for example. The anime felt very realistic in terms of the problems the bands was facing. I loved the fact that the anime was more focused on the band as a whole rather than individual characters. Saying that doesn’t mean that the character’s individuality was ignored its just that they were focused on the band as well. The music was amazing every band had their own music theme and style of music. It was very exciting and inspiring. Its probably one of the most inspiring music anime I’ve came across.
If you liked K-On! you will probably like this one even though the amount of drama is more like Beck. If you generally like Music anime you will love this one.
Overall Rate: 8/10
