that Kasumi's thighs


I haven't watched a single episode of Bandori and I already like Arisa and Kasumi.

However, their season 1 have a very low average score. at 6.98 (ranked #3757). The second season did good though. But that low season 1 score makes me a little hesitant to watch it.

So, how was it? Is Bandori worth to watch?

Season 1 wasn't really that bad, it's just a bit too average in its story dinamics. I wouldn't recommend it as a corner stone for the franchise (the game is so much more outstanding in the genre than the anime is), but if you are already a fan of the game and you don't dislike PoPiPa (which is the only band shown in the first Season) you would probably like to have some background for the main band of the brand.

Season 2 is more fan-oriented, it includes all the 25 characters from the game and a ton of references you'll get only if you have played some of the events from the game. I can't say how well it's being received by anime-only fans, but as a player I'm really appreciating it.
There are some mentions to what happened in the first season of the anime, but it's not really a sequel, the two plots have almost nothing to share aside from having the same main characters.

If you have the time, I would recommend you to watch the first season while waiting for the second season to end.
And of course watch Garupa Pico which is arguably the best animated serie of the brand.

Awesome insights. That was very helpful. Exactly the reply that I want to hear.

Thank you for your help.
I have a job so I don't have that much free time to watch some anime. But I think I'll give it a shot (the season 1). Thank you once again.

Personally, Season 1 is my second favorite anime of all time. I think the writing is every bit as good as the game, and while the animation is not great, it does have some wonderful scenes and cute moments.

It's also the story of how Popipa came together and where about 90% of their character development comes from, at least into Band Story 2 drops in a month or so.

I strongly recommend both seasons.
