As for the Bandori TV series, Kakimoto Kaitai, the director of the second and third seasons, stated, “The story of the Bandori anime series, which started with the formation of Popipa, will come to an end here. This is the end of the story.
Episode of Roselia” will be released in two parts in 2021, and “BanG Dream! is scheduled to be released in 2022.
Poppin’ Dream!” is scheduled to be released in 2022. Therefore, the third season of the TV series will be the end of the story, and resources will be devoted to the production of the theatrical version in the future.
However, these circumstances do not mean that the TV series is finished.
Just before the last episode of the third season aired, President Kiya tweeted on his account, “Well, shall I think about the plan for the fifth season while watching the last episode of Bandori’s third season (third season)? suggesting that a plan for the fourth season is already in the works.
Although this is just a mumble on Twitter and not an official announcement, considering President Kitani’s position, the production of the fourth season is extremely strong and can even be said to be a predetermined course.
Considering the statements made by Director Kakimoto and President Kitani, we can conclude that “the anime series with Popipa as the main character has come to an end. It can be predicted that the fourth season of BanG Dream will be made from other anime.
In this case, the key will be the new band Morfonica, which started its activities in March 2020.
Morfonica is a five-member girls band consisting of Mashiro Kurata on vocals, Toko Kirigaya on guitar, Nanami Hiromachi on bass, Tsukushi Futaba on drums, and Rui Yashio on violin. The band is not featured in the anime, but was introduced in Galpa earlier than RAISE A SUILEN (RAS).
It is very likely that a fourth season of the anime is being planned to promote Morfonica.
This is because Morfonica is the “fourth real band”.
BanG Dream has been emphasizing live performances since its inception, and has been actively participating in events as well as solo live performances.
For this reason, the popularity of Popipa, Roselia, and RAS, which hold real live performances, is an important matter that is related to the foundation of the music business.
Naturally, a lot of effort is put into promoting them.
This was most evident in the third season of the anime. Unlike the second season, where each band, including the non-real bands, had its own main episode, the third season’s story was almost entirely based on these three bands.
Especially in the last episode, the three bands collaborated to perform “Yume wo Shotsuru Moments ni! performed by the three bands in the final episode, leaving a strong impression as it ended with a big bang.
Considering these circumstances and the current situation, it is expected that the fourth season will be an anime to bring Morfonica and BanG Dream fans closer together.
Summary
Considering the fact that it’s difficult to hold real live shows, and that the power of anime promotion will become more and more important in the future, I think the odds of drawing Morfonica in the fourth season are pretty high!
If that’s the case, it might be complicated for the fans of other bands, especially the non-real band groups, but if you care about the continuation of BanG Dream, the 4th season will never be a negative thing, so let’s all pray for it!
