The winter 2017 anime series BanG Dream is having its home video releases handled by Overlap and the show previously saw a standard-ish seven volume release that had an OVA produced for it. The complete set is coming a year after the last of the singles finished and we now have a nicely expansive look at the packaging as a whole for it. It’s got a planned November 28th, 2018 debut where it’ll have the thirteen episode run plus the OVA priced at 15,000 yen.
The thirteen episode series previously saw a seven-volume release with a lot of extras where the Blu-ray’s are priced at 7,000 yen each. No DVDs are being produced for this release. Check out the breakdown and artwork below!
The project was directed by Atsushi Ootsuki based on the series composition from Yuniko Ayana. Natsuko Nita adapted the original character designs done by Hitowa Issen and Xebec handled the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Aimi (Aimi Terakawa) as Kasumi Toyama, Ayasa Itou as Arisa Ichigaya, Rimi Nishimoto as Rimi Ushigome, Sae Oozuka as Tae Hanazono and Ayaka Ohashi as Saaya Yamabuki.
Plot concept: The story follows Kasumi Toyama (played by Poppin’ Party’s lead singer, Aimi) when her life changes on the day she finds a star-shaped guitar. Determined to form an all-girl band, her search leads her to four like-minded souls: Saya, Arisa, Rimi, and Tae (all brought to life by the members of Poppin’ Party).
