#<a>!~Rinko's BanG Dream Watch Order Guide~!</a>
I remember couple people say the reason they aren't interested in BanG Dream is because they're confused at the large amount of relations. (Which, are mostly music videos, anyway)
So here's my guide to the watch order~!
<hr>
<a>Main story:</a>
Strictly speaking the only entries you need to watch.
BanG Dream
BanG Dream 2nd Season
BanG Dream 3rd Season
BanG Dream

As I mentioned, those are the only strictly necessary ones. But naturally I do recommend more than just that, if one is interested enough~
<hr>
<a>Roselia story:</a>
A reasonable alternative start point, that takes less time than the main series. Also just good. Roselia Stage manga is recommended before the movies as movie 1 is very rushed and the manga covers the part that suffered the most from that.
BanG Dream Roselia Stage
BanG Dream Episode of Roselia I
BanG Dream Episode of Roselia II Song I am
<hr>
<a>The shorts:</a>
All you need to watch these is to know the characters. So s2 of the anime should be enough~
BanG Dream
BanG Dream
BanG Dream
<hr>
<a>Flim Lives:</a>
Basically a bunch of MVs strung together, though the second one has some fun jokes, too. Can be watched basically whenever, though recommended at some point after the season they have listed as a relation.
BanG Dream FILM LIVE
BanG Dream FILM LIVE 2nd Stage
<hr>
<a>Misc.:</a>
5th Anniversary Animation CiRCLE THANKS PARTY 
Best watched if/when you have a strong emotional attachment to the series~
.
BanG Dream Morfonication
A fun side story, watch whenever if you like~ Bear in mind, certain people to whom this is important, despite the summer theme there are no swimsuits.

Only worth it if you like PasuPare.
<hr>
<a>The OVA:</a>
Pointless beach episode that takes place shortly after s1. I do not recommend it.
BanG Dream

On the "alternative" anime relations...

from BanG Dream – This a completely separate series.
BanG Dream Its MyGO – A stand-alone spin-off with occasional cameos from the cast of the main series. It is not necessary for the main series nor is the main series necessary for it, though it would be best watched after Poppin'Dream. That said the only reason there is to watch it is to get to its sequel, Ave Mujica.

Since you've been so kind to link this to me, I gotta ask:
since I prefer to watch everything in release order - unless there is a good enough reason not to - what do you say about doing that, main series followed by spinoffs where applicable? ^^
Rinko1y
Mm, the main issue with that I can think of would be the first season of shorts (and Pastel Life) since those feature characters who don't appear in s1, but came out between s1 and s2...
So I guess if you're going for release order, just move the 2018 TV shorts to after s2?
