BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! PICO Fever! October 2021 Release, Updates

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO Fever! is the third installment of the PICO series from the franchise BanG Dream! It is a mini-anime series featuring the characters from the smartphone game Girls Band Party! in their chibi form.

The show features the chibi counterparts of the same funny, sweet, crazy, and sometimes scary characters who I adore in the Girls Band Party! smartphone game. 

The previous two seasons were short and hilarious with just over 3 minutes of run time, making me crave for more. Thankfully, season 3 is on its way.

Release Date

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO Fever! mini anime is scheduled to be released on October 7, 2021. It will be streamed on its official YouTube channel “Bang Dream! TV LIVE 2021” once it’s released.
