My opinion about the new Bandori art style This is just my opinion! I just dislike the new Bandori art style so much. I feel like the characters are so pale and lifeless. I’ve always liked the Bandori art style since the first time I saw the game. It’s colorful and very detail, and the characters look so lively. I was always so happy to look at those cards and admire the colors and the art style. After the new JP update I feel like the art style just isn’t it anymore. I don’t know how to explain but I just dislike the way they made the characters so pale and lifeless. When I look into the characters’ eyes I feel like they are just like dolls. And even the hair shade isn’t the same. Look at Arisa I can’t even tell it’s her when I look into her eyes and her hair. Also in some cards the body of the characters don’t seem right (I hope u get what I mean). This is just my opinion! Yeah some new cards are very pretty but some I don’t know what to feel about. Id prefer the old cards and art style. I’m sorry if this post made u mad I just wanna say sth about it.

Phantom Thief chase!

Community Event Announcement: Packing Our Bags!

Hello BandoriPartiers! It's the last month of summer and what better time than now is there to pack a suitcase for a vacation?

This summer event will be a special event spanning both our website and Twitter with two different ways to participate!

Will you help your favourite Bandori girl be summer ready by packing a suitcase for them?

Or will you help our mascot, Kanae, decorate her own suitcase with fun stickers? The choice is yours!

Submissions are due by [utcdate=2023-09-01T19:00:00][/utcdate] which is in [countdown=2023-09-01T19:00:00][/countdown]

Additional Info and Rules

• You can enter both a suitcase and a sticker in the same post as long as you use the event tags as needed
• Objects for suitcase entries can either be drawn or use images from online. If you do the latter, make sure to link back to the creators of any items if they are from small businesses or the like! (an example of this can be found in the post for a previous Bandori Party event!)

Prizes and Judging

All participants on the website will receive a special badge for entering! The badge will include the art included at the top of this post which was drawn by Ahirukukiii on Twitter!

There will be prizes for both categories of entries (suitcases and stickers) and a judging panel will be used to choose a winning entry for both! We will be judging based on creativity for both categories.

The winning participant in each category will have a chance to receive a physical merch prize (or a digital prize if preferred)! Examples of physical merch are shown below:

Along with this, we have stretch goals for both categories. If we get a total of 10 entries (separate for each category), a randomly selected participant in each category will have the chance to win a digital prize! This can be a graphic edit or a special commission from one of our community artists!

For an extra special stretch goal, 30 participants (separate for each category) will give a randomly selected participant in each category a chance to win a physical prize (or digital prize if preferred)!

To sum it up, there is a chance for a maximum of 6 possible winners in this summer event!

We hope everyone will have fun with this event and we look forward to seeing sticker designs and suitcase packs for their favourite girls!

Hello Banpa users! It's 1/2 of the managers, Moyu! Coming back from the grave to give some updates that have been happening with a very impromptu post (please excuse any errors I am writing this on the spot ;;)

First of all, with the new stream revealing the band myGO will be in the game in Fall this year, we have added the new girls into the character list! Currently they're using some placeholder images so we hope everyone will look forward to when they're in the game where we'll have some chibis and icons to use for the site ^_^

I would also like to take some time to talk about the state of the site as is. First matter regarding this is I would like to thank the staff here for working hard to update what used to be a very outdated chibi list. It was a lot of hard work on their part and I was unable to help with it as I was busy in university with exams at the time so any thanks should be directed to them for adding so, so many chibis.

While we could add the chibis, one thing we have been unable to add for a long while is the live2d costumes. We know the costume list is really, really outdated. But unfortunately, the team as we are right now cannot add new live2d costumes. "Why is this?" might be a question some might have. The main reason is that we just do not know how to do this as it isn't as simple as finding the live2d files and uploading them. We have tried asking around our current staff for help and haven't been able to actually find out how to do it and are assuming a certain programme would have to be used to handle the files. If we do eventually find out a way to add the many live2d costumes missing from our list here, I am sure me and the others in the team will try our hardest to update the costumes to the best of our ability. I do hope we can get there some day but please understand we can not do much about it right now...

The last thing on the general topic of site maintaining that I want to talk about is that I want to assure everyone that we are currently trying our best to maintain and update what we can on our database. This includes potentially uploading newer 1koma and 4koma, updating older cards, gacha, etc. to their official worldwide server names (as many currently use fan translations) as well as server availability, and updating card stats when needed. Again, I would appreciate understanding from others as we are a small-ish team and it will take time for some of these to be dealt with due to staff availability. There are also things we would like to add/need to change such as giving myGO on our characters list a header of their band and altering 5 star cards levels but these cannot solely be done by our main staff team. There's a lot for us to do and a lot we need to ask others in order for things to be done so I would appreciate if everyone could keep this in mind when seeing things may not be correct. And if there is something you think should be corrected, feel free to message me or drop a disqus message below this post.

Following on from that, I feel some users might have questions for me or the staff team in general. For me personally, the easiest way for me to see these is through messages to myself or dropping a comment below this post so please feel free to do so. We also have our feedback form itself but I do not have access to see any submitted responses and have to ask the form's maker for me to see them, so please keep that in mind.

If anyone has taken the time to read all of this, thank you for reading it. I have really wanted to write something for a while but personal life and studies have been a bigger priority for me. I would also like to say that we are currently planning a summer-themed website event! Following our Christmas event, this one will be the second one fully planned by our current management and staff team in place so please look forward to it when it happens ^_^

That's all from me. See everyone around here some other time ^_^
