Can we just... talk about the quality of GaruPa's artwork? I've been thinking about it a few times, but the thought really hit me hard once I posted my latest post that once again talks about the quality of some of our 3Stars:

BanDori's art quality didn't drop after they started giving out 2 4Stars a set. In fact, it improved.

Some of our sets now involve 4 4Stars, some of them just happen to have the stats of 3Stars.

If we look at, say, Love Live (I promise that my record of flaming Love Live isn't intentional but it's an easy target), their quality on, ESPECIALLY event cards, but also gacha SRs, really dropped after... I think after Aqours started their rotation. Just look at Pool V3 (The first 2nd rotation µ's set), only really Honoka and Kotori look good in it, and sadly, that kinda became a running theme for both Aqours and µ's sets going forward. There are VERY few sets which has all SRs looking good. Only really the URs and the SSRs (The latter is not guaranteed though) looks solid.

But back to BanDori: I have mad respect for the artists that are doing the GaruPa artwork, ESPECIALLY the 4Stars with heavier shading and more complex poses. Sure, not all of them are perfect, some have... decently wonky anatomy, but they still look good. Heck, even the freaking 2Stars look really nice. And for that; I will always love GaruPa's cards.

All GaruPa 4Stars are Dream 4Stars.

(Note; I do know that the Love Live artists are pushing out more cards, but more than half of them don't involve complex shading or background art, some standards must be put on them, they're getting paid darnit.)
