Pastel Life

Pastel Life is the first attempt at a comedic BanG Dream short series. It's a bit rough around the edges, but still enjoyable for BanG Dream fans. It's also easily accessible, since it's available on Youtube for free, complete with english subtitles. Every episode is about something funny and/or weird that happens to the members of Pastel Palettes, one of the BanG Dream bands. Each episode is more or less focused on one of the members. I thought the plots were entertaining, but nothing too great or memorable. The characters are all faithfully translated from the game to the anime and the humour is basically the same.The characters designs are exactly the same as the chibi versions of the characters from the mobile game and all the music is also from the game, so it feels very familiar if you've played it. The animation is quite limited, but it serves its purpose well enough. It's a cute little series I can't say anything bad about, even though it's nothing special either, but I'm sure BanG Dream fans will enjoy it, while everyone else can skip it. The future of BanG Dream shorts is bright, though, with BanG Dream! Garupa☆Pico coming up. But that's a story for a different review.
