BanG Dream! Garupa☆Pico: Oomori

Ah yes, the mini anime series that has deaths on EVERY SINGLE EPISODE is back with more. ============ WARNING ============ Might contain some spoilers, but seriously, the only spoilers is the whole series is literally Everyone Dies™. Yes, everyone (including you) will die at least once. The Second Season of Garupa Pico goes back to the original 26 people from the first season, but now with 2 more bands joining the whole mess (Welcome to the party RAS and Morfonica!). In overall it's really your weekly dose of laughter of the girls' daily lives, but now a new mystery arises from under livehouse CiRCLE...====== STORY ====== My score: 9 Seriously nothing much. Don't expect too much from a 3 minute anime series (2.5 minutes to be exact if excludes the ED). Story is overall good, but the running joke of the girls dying in every single episode back in Season 1 is not really frequently seen in Season 2 (hence the 9, I can really give 10 if we get more deaths lol). ====== ART ====== My score: 10 Only cute girls in chibi design. No CGI, no complex stuff. Just cuteness. Seriously, get some help if you're against this one. ====== SOUND ====== My score: 10 BGMs and SFXs nicely placed, no comment. Also the ED is a really fun song (and available in the game too!), you wouldn't turn your sound off if most of the fun are from the sounds right? ====== CHARACTERS ====== My score: 10 Every single character is uniquely designed according to the original anime series (and also the game), so you won't feel unfamiliar to the wildness and cuteness in within them. Also Moca best girl. ====== ENJOYMENT ====== My (actual) score: 10+ Seriously, I really wish to give a number bigger than 10 (Yo MAL consider this?). The whole thing is really enjoyable to watch. Trust me, it's really rewatch-worthy. ====== OVERALL ====== My score: 9 Can't really give a perfect 10 if compared to my rating to the first season of Garupa Pico, some reasons include but not limited to like:- - Minor scene recycling (pretty much expected, don't forget Covid is a thing during the time of production) - Somehow confused endings to some episodes (seriously some episodes will really let you go "Huh?" once the episodes end) - Not enough deaths (Bushi: Err 7.5 billion deaths in one episode still not enough? Me: YES WE NEED MORE.) These 3 aside, the whole thing in overall is really good. Also, in terms of availability, you don't need a subscription to any streaming service to watch them, it's all on the official Girls Band Party official YouTube channel for FREE (Traditional Chinese subs are available on their Taiwanese YouTube channel too)! I recommend watching from the first season of Garupa Pico, since there's where all the fun and chaos begins (also available on the same channel) so do watch it! The whole season won't take you long, only needing around 1.5 hours for all 26 episodes. Side note: If you're new to the whole BanG Dream (aka Bandori) franchise, Garupa Pico is really a good place to start. You'll love it real fast!
