30 days challenge by okusawamiikun || DAY XV - FAVOURITE ORIGIN STORY

as someone who got into BanDori through the anime, it’d be a crime to mention any story other than PoPiPa’s.

seeing these five girls who didn’t know each other at all in the beginning come together and become a truly great group of friends ... struggling starting out but eventually finding what makes them good enough to play at SPACE like they aimed ... everyone’s backstories, but especially Saaya’s, god the Star Beat episode made me cry,,

if any of the origin stories should have gotten an anime, I’m glad it was this one. all the other ones are great too but PoPiPa’s reigns supreme imo, and I’m glad JP (and EN too probably) got it in story form so people who didn’t watch it can still experience it!

shoutout goes to PasuPare this time tho, I already said I love how it deals with the problems in their industry & their different backgrounds instead of just being the floofy idol dream!
