Attention all Bandori.Party Members!

We're now actively recruiting new, dedicated staff members in multiple positions. This is mostly due to our current staff becoming burdened IRL, and we are no longer able to always be here at the drop of the hat. Myself, AmbiBambis, and LatidoReMe will be moving more to the background, handling database maintaining and mentoring our new recruits! When you go to apply, be sure to fully read all the details.

If you have additional questions, please post them below and I will try my best to answer them!

Please check out the application for details.

*Please note: if you want to apply for multiple positions, select your first option, fill that application out, and the last question on the application will let you select another position to apply for!

Thank you all for being with us so far on our journey to create, cultivate, and have a happy little Bandori community!

Hello, everyone!

You may or may not have heard, but we are proud to partner with IdolCon2020 for this event happening the first weekend of October! There will be tons of fun things, and the best thing is that it is FREE to attend! Merchandisers, Voice Actors, and community members like you will all be in one place, and safe!

Our partnership also brought us a great opportunity to hold a Q&A Session with some of the English-language Voice Actresses of BanG Dream! I, violetR, will be hosting a Q&A with Katelyn Barr (Hina Hikawa) and AmbiBambis will be holding the Q&A with Christina Kelly (Saaya Yamabuki)! However, we need your help with asking them fun questions for the event! You don't have to think too hard, just remember they're people too and they may like BanG Dream!, or even other things thanks to the series! You can also submit more than one question. Just fill the form back out!

SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS NOW!

Participants who submit questions and are active BanPa members will be able to get a special badge for their profile! Members who attend IdolCon 2020 will also get a nice badge for their profile (just a lil less shiny).

We can't wait to see you there!

ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS OF KANAE'S BAND EXPERIMENT + CHANGE MY MIND!

See Original Post

Sorry for the delay everyone, we've been super busy working on some cool, new features for the site. However, we have decided all the winners from our past contests.

First up, Change My Mind Winners!

We previously announced the winners on Twitter and promised a write-up, and now that's here for you all! Each winner got a custom piece of art/design of their best girls! We also have an honorable memetion, which unfortunately did not meet the criteria from the original post. However, you can check this out here!

Next, the Kanae's Band Experiment Winner!

Judging for this contest was quite hard, as exemplified by our judges and our thoughtful staff members. They seriously loved ALL the designs! If you want to share your design on the site, please feel free to do that under "Fan Made" and "Community" tags! We posted all the entries in the last contest, but this time we feel it best for everyone to decide if they'd like to show it or not, and so that you can get the proper views/comments you deserve!

Without further ado, here's your winner of the Kanae Band Experiment Contest!!

Submitted by Canada

This design will be drawn by Brella just like before!

Our guest judges for the design/artist section of the contest were Misha, co-creator of Vocaloid Ruby -- Atychi, a fan-artist who knows who to hit you in the feels -- and, Andy, another fan of BanG Dream! whose fan art is cute and their love for HHW knows no bounds.

Misha's comment for the winning design was as follows, "This design has a very precious feeling to it, and fits right into the bang dream universe! I love the star motif, and all the colors work perfectly together. Overall, it's a very well coordinated design!"

Atychi's comment towards the winning design was, "This design was both cohesive and eye-catching, managing to be stylish and interesting while still being recognizably #BandoriParty. The balance of details throughout the character make for a truly wonderful design fitting of #BandoriParty and our Dear Mascot, Kanae."

And finally, Andy's feelings for the design were, "A very charismatic design. It has a lot of positive energy around it, a clever combination of elegance and fun."

The staff overall had thought the design fit the theme of Bandori.Party, as well as incorporated great details like the music staff into her sash, as well as kept the BanG Dream! thematic in together as a whole and gave us a really good package!

Again, thank you everyone who applied for the contests and participated. We loved every design, every single written piece of devotion to Best Girl! Thank you all for making BanPa such a great site to visit and work on~ <3

ANNOUNCING ARGONAVIS

An Exciting New Chapter for BanG Dream!

Announced shortly before the beginning of the 5th Live at Makuhari Messe Hall, the project for a "Male-Centric" universe of BanG Dream! had been revealed by announcing their very first live!

The announcement tweet gained much traction after the initial retweet from us at Bandori.Party! At this time, the only information that had been given was the announcement of 3 Cast Members: Maeda Seiji, Morishima Shuuta, and Hyuuga Daisuke, and that their first live will take place in the month of July, with more cast members to be announced. See the 3 Seiyuu introduce the project in this video!

After about an hour or so of comments of fans of the franchise worried about the interaction of the male characters with the girls from a series called "Girls Band Party", Kidani, who manages the franchise and is it's creator, sent a series of tweets to calm fans:

"The Male Bandori Project is a different world than the existing Bang Dream story. The characters will not mix and it is 100% different." Original Tweet

"I also don't want to see males appear in the world of Bandori. The limit is the characters' fathers. (Though this is just a personal view)"Original Tweet

That's all for the news round up on ARGONAVIS. How do you feel about this new addition to our beloved franchise? Remember to be courteous with your discussion, whether you're for the project or not, it is happening!
