BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO is a Japanese chibi short anime series by Bushiroad, animated by Sanzigen in collaboration with DMM.futureworks.

Pico (2018), BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico: Ohmori (2020), and BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico Fever! (2021–2022). Known for its chibi art style, exaggerated comedic style, and nonsensical plots, each episode is approximately three minutes long. The anime is set in CiRCLE, the hidden popular base among the band girls, and follows the various hilarious adventures of the mini-versions of the bands' members. The first season aired from July to December 2018 with 26 episodes. The second season, "Ohmori", aired from May to October 2020, also with 26 episodes, and introduced members from Morfonica and RAISE A SUILEN.
