is it me or is bandori declining a lot in popularity/quality?
(i want to warn that some things are probably not understood very well since I am directly using the google translator)
I thought it was only me who felt that bandori had something that was not calling my attention so much, but seeing some post of banpa I realized that I am definitely not the only one, and I have also been wondering the reason for this, the most logical answer for me has been the mismanagement of the EN sever, (but obviously only referring to the western side since I honestly don't know how things are in Japan) I think the bad decisions started from last year's polls and the fact of shortening the events, if they had not made that decision they might have had more time to fix the mistakes and not delay the events, it really is still curious at the point where it is since the quality of the cards has increased, (in some not all) They have also implemented new porridge (kirameki) and have made many things outside the game, Band life with..., anniversary animation, the summer ova (even though I think it hasn't been released) the roselia movies, the collaborative mv, the switch game (I'm not going to talk about the nonsense which is the price) and I think they recently decorated a cafe or something like that (which is done in a common way but I wanted to emphasize), and obviously something that I think continues to have several curious about how this is going to change the franchise, The change of ages of some of the girls. It's somewhat controversial in its own way but also interesting, since most franchises of this style never change the ages of their characters (I'm not going to get into how this affects the nswf side) and obviously many other things. Other reasons that I think are very logical is the fact that bushiroad is seriously putting a lot of budget into D4Dj and neglecting bandori a little, even though this has been the biggest budget over the last few years. The point is that, they are doing many things to give bandori a new look, but unfortunately it feels as if they were in vain, I am not saying that it has become bad news, on the contrary, it continues to inspire me a lot as a person to follow Playing instruments, I can't explain how happy it made me to see Kasumi's energetic attitude in the first season, as much as it is a really silly and impossible idea, it motivated me a lot to achieve various goals. so as a fan of bandori I feel very bad and sad to see how the franchise is declining and I sincerely hope they do something interesting to finish giving it the push it needs
