me: hmm I need one or two new pure cards

gacha: ;D

MY F2P STARS ARE READY FOR CONSTELLATION KASUMI AND SO IS MY BODY (wish me luck cuz i’ll need it ;;w;;)

EDIT: SHE CAME HOME ON THE FIRST PULL!!!! THIS IS UNREAL IM STILL IN SHOCK THANK YALL WHO GAVE ME UR BLESSINGS AAAAA

I'm still wondering what friends are for. You can't see their event rankings like on LL... and you can't really communicate with them...

I felt like sharing how I decide on adding friends! It'd be impossible to add everyone!

My criteria for adding friends after multi-lives:

Priority:

Band title (a band I like!)

Username (Cool reference and fun names)

Difficulty Chosen (same/above what I chose)

Performance on Live (Must not die super quickly)

Score (bar must be same as mine or larger)

Maybe: Card displayed (just not worse girl)

Sticker Choices (bonus points if you pick best girls or are tactful/funny)

Song Choices (bonus points if you pick my favorite songs)

Accepting Requests: Rank (Decently high, so I know you won't just flat out leave)

Profile Statement (I only add people if they aren't using the default statement. It's boring for me.)

Card Star #/Girl (bonus points for best girls and 4 stars. I prefer 3+ stars...)

I'm just wondering how do you guys make friends on Bandori while playing the game? Not with irl friends, but with people you've never met or even contacted beyond using stickers and profile comments.

For all of you deprived Tsugu fans, I made an edit! I thought she'd look cute in this Kanon card, so I did my best.

I just?? love BanDori's character writing so much???

it has a bunch of archetypes but instead of holding the characters back, they just use them as a base to add onto and make all the girls so incredibly. REALISTIC. I was Ako when I was her age. all of Afterglow feels natural as childhood friends with established roles and relationships and in-jokes. Chisato acts exactly like someone who's been in the industry for years WOULD even if it's harsh sometimes. Hina and Sayo's relationship is complex and natural because they're both complex and natural personalities (Hina especially is super interesting to me). even the HaroHapi girls, while obv exaggerated, don't feel like they're just over-the-top stereotypes (I swear I met a Kokoro once. minus the money). Rinko struggles with her shyness/social anxiety but tries to fight it in believeable ways. Arisa may be a tsun but she's the kinda tsun who uses her tsun-ness to call out the stupid things nobody would, which I always like. Kasumi's desire to find the "star beat" and feel the rush of the stage is super relatable to me personally. Tae is exactly like one of my best friends, Yukina's motivations are believeable and her attitude makes sense, I could go on forever about their initial, non-story-developed personalities alone

and that's not even to start on the interactions?? I love the juxtaposition of Hina/Sayo & Ako/Tomoe because both are believeable sibling relationships (the Hikawas are a Duh but the Udagawas also feel very natural because Tomoe is established as the Mom Friend so obv she'd be that to Ako too), I love it when the really happy characters interact and hype each other up, I love how some relationships are preestablished and really feel like they've known each other for longer, I love how they're not afraid to keep! having everyone meet each other! in events and showing how they all play off each other

I just. BanDori honestly has some of the best character writing I've seen in a while. all the while balancing drama and emotional scenes with light-heartedness and fun and friendship in a way that never feels jarring oh god I love BanDori so much and I'm so glad for EN showing this to everyone. even the stories I skipped on JP because they didn't look interesting and I don't have enough patience to listen to everything are appealing to me now. I just. I love BanDori guys

//e 3 years later: Rhina how do you find these posts to bump?? anyway I still mean every word of this

trained Constellation Kasumi is highkey terrifying to me because she looks like she's about to fall off that moon

please be careful Kasumi ... I don't want you getting hurt

Wow I can't believe Kaoru got mugged at school
