To. Bandori Party friends

Hello again. This is AkotheRose.

Last night I recalled my friend 'nija's comment on the post of Hello, Happy World!'s actresses.

"Hello, Happy World!, or as I like to call them, The KyoAni Band" (nija)

With a heavy heart, I made this post for KyoAni and all anime fans in this community.

That brutal case remains fresh in my memory.

Though I was thoroughly absent-minded, I cried and raged day and night with all Koreans who love KyoAni's works.

I hope you read this post with deep sadness and have a moment to pray for victims.

Chisato fans will say it's fake

WAIT A SEC, THIS IS A PLAYABLE COSTUME?!?!

I’m never going back

(Side note: I can’t do the gacha rn, but I will later! Wish me luck since I only have 5K! :D)

Hello I've been getting back into Bandori lately. So I want to make some more friends from Bang Dream. My best girls are Chisato, Aya, and Hina. I hope I can befriend some Bandori fans here!

Am I the only one that whenever I change my ingame name or change my band name on JP, I write in Japanese, but whenever I do that on EN, I write in the Latin alphabet? I think the reason I do that is because you can't use as many characters in JP, and since writing in the Japanese alphabets take up less characters, I write in Japanese. Like, my name on JP is "こころファン," read as "Kokoro Fan." If I would have written "Kokoro Fan," that would have been 10 characters, including the space, but in Japanese, it only takes up 6 characters.

It's almost Ako's birthday!! :D

[countdown=2021-03-16T00:00:00][/countdown] till JP's 4th Anni!

Hikawa and Nijo relationships be like:

Summer/watermelon Pareo~ she a cutie <3

We need a fruit themed set in the game now change my mind

I don't know what is happening XDDDDDDDD

A few minutes ago, I decided to do 3 scouts, I was sure that any 3 or 4 star card couldn't come out, my luck in Bandori is really bad LOL

But it happened, the event card Saya came out. I was very happy so I went back to spending my stars and I got a 3 star card of Tomoe

THE THIRD TIME WAS VERY FUNNY. I don't know why but I said: "Popipa pipopa pipopa pipopa" AND THE 4 STAR EVENT CARD OF ARISA CAME OUT

I definitely don't understand how to use(? the activities I post yet. I am- 🤡

And the 3 stars card of Tomoe.

I guess today is my lucky day ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

So a few of you guys have said that I’ve inspired you in your art, so I figured I’d share one of my art inspirations with the community here! This drawing is of Gotland, from Kantai Collection. Took me around 12 hours? I’m gonna explain more about KC and how it relates to my art below, so feel free to skip the rest of this if you aren’t interested in that sort of thing!

I first heard of Kantai Collection back in 2015, a little after that years Spring Event had started. I was immediately struck by the game’s art style, and by how interesting and unique the character designs where! Particularly the boss characters, designed by Akira. I started making fanart for the game almost immediately after Spring ‘15 ended, and a large chunk of my art has been KC related ever since.

In particular, I think the artists Drew, Yoshinori and Akira are some of my biggest artist inspirations. Their work for KC has been some of the most important to my growth as an artist! Akira for their gorgeous and often haunting character art, Drew for his insane improvement over the years, and Yoshinori for making me want to improve myself and one day do justice to his characters. Many of the other artists for the game have impacted me too, but these are the top three!

I’ll make another post like this talking about how Bandori and possibly Madoka Magica have also influenced me artistically, but for now I feel like this is the most important one! I literally wouldn’t be the artist I am without the KC franchise. I’ll leave a few links in the comments to the English wiki and some specific pieces/characters for anyone interested :)
