Poppin Pa'!
As I write this post, it's the last day of 2016 and there's three weeks left until the BanG_Dream anime.
While we wait, do watch the MVs and the First Live Spring PARTY. Still waiting on the 3rd MV to be uploaded.

What is BanG_Dream?
A Bushiroad multimedia project that began in January 2015 and follows MC Kasumi and her band Poppin Party. The project started with Aimi (lead vocalist, MC, voice of Kasumi) and over the coming months more seiyu were announced, thus 'joining' the band. The last member to join was Drummer, Ayaka 'Hegochin' Ohashi. So far we've gotten a manga, 4koma, three singles, Live Concerts, radio show and three MVs. In April 2017, Bushiroad and KLab will release a Bandori mobage- Bang_Dream Girls' Band Party (GBP) with even more young rocking girls.
Is it like K-On?
You can definitely see similarity in themes. Both of them involve Girl Bands. Not to mention that like HTT, every Poppin Party seiyu can actually play their character's instrument on stage. It remains to be seen if any GBP seiyu can also play a actual six string.
Why does some of the official art look so weird?
They changed the character designer. Up until roughly February 2016, the character designer was Hitowa. Now it's Matsuko Kita. The change of character designer also meant a shift in art style.
God I hope this won't be like iM@Shit, Kankershit, or those crappy idolshits from /ai/ and /pc/. I'll be pissed if it will have a Produshit or a pretty boy love interest fuckface. So far, this is on our side.
>>2229344
To elaborate, I really hope this won't be like iM@Shit, Kankershit, or those crappy idolshits from /ai/ and /pc/. I'll be pissed if it will have a Produshit, an Assmiral or a pretty boy love interest fuckface. This anime needs to distance itself from those crap and prove that it can be a hit without those guys. So far, this is on our side.
Looks good, but three weeks is a long time. A lot can go wrong between now and then.
>>2229355
Not him, but all of what he mentioned is indeed completely unnecessary for a good idol show.
Note how the best of idol shows don't have any of those.
>>2229344
They called a openly yuri fan to write an all-girls show. I think they know what they want to do. Also, some of the promo art are actually kinda gay.
>>2229366
God I hope Yuniko delivers hardcore
So is it like Love Live but with bands instead of idols?
>>2229346
Wow, you seem mad for no reason at all. You probably think you were clever with those insults, but you came off as a little kid who's mad about ridiculous shit.
BTW, since when the "Assmiral" in KanColle is considered a pretty boy love interest? That character doesn't even have spoken words in the anime version.
>>2229423
It's not even a man. It's a concept with the gender you want it to have.
But I guess that thanks to CR, most people ignore that.
>>2229430
Agreed. What is CR by the way?
Anyways, that dude going off totally sounds like Mugino being an autistic moron after his Hibikek shit ended in nothing.
>>2229588
Crunchyroll.
>>2229590
What did they do to the admiral character?
>>2229601
Every time they mention the admiral, CR used "he". It was supposed to be neutral in the original japanese.
>>2229607
Oh, i get it now. Well, that character is still nothing sort of a love interest for any of the characters. Same thing with the manager in Idolm@ster. They're just there.
>>2229621
Certain characters like Kongou and Fubuki do get a bit annoying when the Admiral is mentioned. Fubuki's marriage scene didn't help.
>manager in iM@S
They're just there indeed, but they're still annoying and unnecessary.
>>2229625
>They're just there indeed, but they're still annoying and unnecessary.
First im@s I kinda agree, since there's some het bait with him.
Cinderella Girls is just a not issue. A shame the anime wasn't that good, though.
>>2229607
To be fair, it would have been awkward to refer to the character as "they" for the entire show.
>>2229386
Wasn't she responsible for the most yuri relevant episodes of Flip Flappers? I've read different things.
>>2229632
>Defending that useless piece of shit TakePrick who didn't deserve to have his own fanbase which itself is full of annoying obnoxious self-insertfags
That very Producer is the reason why Cinderella Girls wasn't that good and to say that is an understatement. There was also hetbait too and he destroyed every yuri in CG with his bland boring existence. The anime tried to make him the MC but in the end he was full of shit. CG could've done so much without him. On the bright side, thanks to him, iM@S is irredeemable shit in comparison to Love Live.
>>2229639
I think it would be okay. Or, I don't know. Just make two different subs with two ways of calling. At least people would know the purpose.
I would be happy with them just choosing a female noun, actually. Since there's none, why go with the most boring one?
>>2229640
She's the one who teached the director what yuri even is.
>>2229642
I'm not defending him. I don't even care about him. like I said, a not issue. Stop being stupid.
He wasn't the reason Cinderella Girls was bad. The writing was bad. Everything just looked like a promo for their CDs instead of an actual anime show.
>>2229642
Fuck off troll
If anyone on /u/ actually got this bitchy whenever a man appeared in an anime we'd never watch anime again.
>>2229642
Wow, you really have some serious issues. That fucking character was so irrelevant in CG, that only self-insert fags care about him. CG is bad because the writing was bad, not because there was a dude there.
>>2229658
>>2229642
Let's get one thing clear, shall we? iDOLM@STER is simply a disgrace and an embarrassment to idol genre. Just by its title shows that. It's NOT about the idol girls, its about this Producer who exists solely as the player's self-insert to not just manage them but date them as well. 99% of its retarded fanbase prefer the Producer to be male. The girls do flirt with each other but at the end of the day, all of them have a crush on HIM and they see HIM as a love interest.
It's funny that you guys have no problem with series that condone self-insert concept that surely produces (pun intended) hetbait like IM@S and KanColle so you allow them here because they're both technically yuribait. Yet this board likes to bitch about the likes of Hibike, Amanchu, and Scum's Wish because of the exact same reason. Ironic, isn't it?
>>2229682
The producer in iM@S has no excuse, but the admiral in KanColle has no gender. Isn't the producer in the iM@S games the same?
>>2229682
I mean, this board loves Ange Vierge and that GirlFriends Beta anime. Most don't care if the original is het, as long as the anime isn't. I did start care less about im@s because the games are self insert shit, but that doesn't change that the anime isn't like that.
>>2229686
No. At least the main games he's clearly male. I don't know about CG.
>>2229686
wasn't admiral in kancolle drawn faceless, but had the stature of a male?
>>2229691
He is male in CG, but he is irrelevant to the plot. That person above is clearly just baiting for some responses, best thing to do is to ignore it.
>>2229658
>>2229696
If he's so irrelevant then why is he in every single fucking episode? Isn't this the same excuse that Hibike /u/fags like to use every time Shuu or Taki appears? Maybe he is the reason why the writing was so bad. Just remove him and the writing could have been better, the anime could have had more budget and the studio could have been 100 million yen richer.
>>2229700
>why is he in every single fucking episode?
Because he's the fucking manager of the idols? I agree that the guy is unnecesary, but he doesn't have any major plot points surrounding him like Tako and Shoe did, so gtfo with your shitty comparisons.
>>2229700
Honestly, if you take the Producer out of CG nothing much changes. It's not like it's done harem anime.
They technically could have done what KanColle did and make the Producer and off-camera character with no personality who assigns work through Chihiro.
But really, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's like the anon who thought that removing Muginami from Lagrange would have magically made it yuri when the writers never had any intention on making it yuri.
This better not have 3DPD whores like the idol show that aired last season.
Anyway, this is not a im@s thread....
>>2229640
She wrote for Wooser. This alone means that she knows what she's doing. Flipflappers isn't entirely her fault.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNMj1ZwB9QY
Soon guys
>>2229760
I am sure it will not be trash like Venus Project and Idol Memories.
Speaking of 3DPDs, did you guys watch the Christmas SP last week? They introduced the VA's of the other groups whom I believe to be exclusive for the upcoming app game.
>>2229878
>Venus Project and Idol Memories.
Were those het or merely meh?
>>2229879
If you know what is good for you, you will not bother watching them.
Venus Project is trash in every media it had been. The anime sucks and the Vita game's online service did not even last for a year.
Idol Memories' anime art and CG are decent but everything else sucks.There is het where one dude is a crossdressing spy and the MC is okay with "her" even though she never saw the reveal in the end.Despite all that, the series is set to continue for a while. I doubt it will last long but we will see.
As for yuri, basically nothing at all. Sorry.

Running time per episode? Because I heard it will have a live-action segment.
>>2243062
Is this bait?
>>2243066
Not bait, they're probably just getting confused with another anime which ran like that.
>>2243066
Someone is a little paranoid that this will turn out like Idol Memories and Venus Project which were half anime, half seiyu talk show and above all a complete bomb, sales-wise.
>>2243090
>>2243596
I am sure this anime is not going to be like those two. Remember the old saying, "learn to walk before you run?" The issue with those two idol anime is that they tried to do many things at once. They did not have a proper build-up like major idol franchises did when they were young. BanG Dream has established itself pretty well and I believe we are going to see the dawn of a new franchise.
Fun fat about Idol Memories. it has the freaking Nana Mizuki as the headmistress of the girls' school. You got to wonder if most of the budget went straight to her.

Bandori Special Bang~Count Down Party~
Skip to 18:12 for the first three minutes of Ep 1.
The main thing to get is that Saya (Drummer) is the first person Kasumi befriends at her new school.
Will it end in DrumxVocalist?
>>2243813
Venus Project had a video game out before the anime began so it's not as though they made no efforts in the marketing and fandom building department.
One can speculate whether the experimental format had anything to do with the franchise's lack of success.
>>2244618
By the end of the anime, it's probably going to be EverybodyxEverybody right?
>>2245041
That would be ideal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTTdpHoY13k
First 3 minutes 47 seconds of Ep 1 subbed into English.
This franchise doesn't look bad. I have some faith.
>>2244618
The anime of Venus Project had the problem that looked really cheap... Even looked like an anime 10 years older...
Idol Memories seriously needed to correctly enter their characters... The villain's part was really dumb...
>>2246415
looks promising
Happening tomorrow.

>>2249005
What he meant was while there won't be any het content, any yuri will probably be ambiguous at best.
Kasumi sure likes holding hands.
>>2249618
...and lap pillows with her sister

...and getting up and personal with other girls.
In this world, Mugi became a tsundere and her parents own a pawn shop.
Yui somehow can listen to the sounds of the stars.

That's it. Go after that bread, and when you get close enough I'm going to eat you.
So does Dumb Vo have a harem or what?

If she really is the Third Coming of Honoka, her so-called band will just turn out to be her harem of attractive, young girls.

Also

>Kasumi and Arisa
>>2250213
>Ayaka
Nope, completely different person and off by one letter.
Ayaka or Hasshy is the Drummer of the band.
Interestingly, according to Rimi's profile she really likes the chocolate cornet from Dr's breadshop. I smell BaxDr potential.
>>2229607
Traditionally in the English language it was actually correct to use 'he' when the gender of the individual referred to is uncertain.

Poppin Party is taking over as the hosts of Gekkan Bushiroad TV.
The second episode was pretty amusing. Looks like ep3 should have some significant moments that explain and shape at least one of the characters part in the band.
I was expecting Arisa to wake up and find Kasumi straddling her lap until she wakes up but this works too. Somehow, Arisa's baa-chan really liked Kasumi and started letting her visit for breakfast (and walking Arisa to and from school).
Keep in mind, Arisa has probably only seen Kasumi once.
She wants grandchildren.
It's like I was tricked into watching a harem.
After seeing Glitter Green perform, Kasumi asks Arisa to form a band with her, even though they just met.
Feels like Mitsu.
More VoDrum
Target locked on.
I like how Kasumi 'recruits' her girls.

This Anime needs more love, it is quite nice, I like that Kasumi does not care about the personal space of other girls...
It was cute as Arisa continued on stage despite how embarrassing it was... For some reason she reminds me of Nico and Maki ... am I just me?
>>2229366
Not really. Yuniko is well-versed with idol group anime (im@s, Locodol, Aikatsu) and personally a long time fan of idol groups, which is why she was chosen for this show. Of course she will sneak in yuri agenda just not overtly considering the fans are mostly male.
>>2261299
>considering the fans are mostly male
It's the same for every all-girls show she worked on.
Well, except Aikatsu...

Thanks, when I finished this episode I couldn't stop listening the OP and ED.
Huggu shiyou
>>2264362
You can run but you can't hide.
>>2264364
Is this NTR?
When you love your GF so much you begrudgingly join in even when she does something embarrassing.
In this episode, Red spends time with Blue hoping to lure her into the ha---band.
>>2264373
Making purple jealous.
I sure hope Arisa does not end up /u/Third Wheel thread related.
>>2264376
It all works out in the end.
Oh wow. This series is much more yuri-friendly than I initially thought.
Alisa going tsun when Kasumi got close to Tae was pure gold.
It was so obvious, even Rimi got involved. I couldn't stop laughing when she tried to low-key tell Kasumi she's neglecting her GF.
Her relief at the end was sweet too.
>>2264495
And Tae coming over because she felt bad NTRing Kasumi from Arisa was hilarious also.
Side note, it kinda seems like this series is overlooked right now? Hope it stays this way. Makes for a more comfortable thread than those other idol series.
>>2264376
Arisa's still willing to accept Kasumi despite Kasumi fingering with other girls.
It may interest you to know that Shiroi Hakuto is the illustrator of the Bandori 4koma aka the mangaka behind Tsubasa wants to dancing dancing with Honoka.
>>2264495
Because the writer is a yuri writer.
But careful though. This Bandori project is trying to put together real VAs into real bands with real skills such that inter-media consistency can be capitalized better than normal idol shows. The VAs have no yuri or yuribaiting at best so if you don't want the yuri in the show ruined don't look at the real side.
>>2265500
They're not the VA and the VA are interpreting characters in stage, not the other way around. Seriously, why would you think they're lesbians? Actress making a lesbian role being straight doesn't mean her character is straight.
>>2265529
I didn't. It's the fact that this project tries to capitalize on intertextual consistency. The in-universe characters are enhanced by the fact that the real VAs are also band members and vice verse. However the same in-universe yuri narrative will disintegrate when applied through the same intertextual lens, which is why I warned not the do it that way.
>>2265587
I understand what you want to get ... ignore the real part for our own well-being ... right?
Frankly I prefer that the Anime is Yuri and do not try to force it with the VA, they interpret characters anyway...
Pretending Yuri things is something I do not like about the real Idols...
Anyway, the episode was great, everyone can see it except Kasumi...

Expected to see Kasumi tie a knot with Tae, butalso saw Saya get seduced.
I've had bang dreams of my own, if you know what I mean.
>>2265587
Again, I don't see the problema. They're actress. Unless you're like those stupid otakus who think a seiyuu should represent her character, it should be no problem. People will watch it for the shows, anyway. You don't go telling people to not to watch lesbians movies because those actress are straight, right?
I have no interest in the live action part. Never had, even with Love Live. But I don't see the problem.
Aww man,Tae's a het.Disappointing but oh well. She's the most generic and boring design-wise anyway so nothing of value was lost.
At least the show still has KasumixAria, and thank goodness they're antics are still as glorious as ever.
>>2270910Fuck off.
>>2270910
only a lesbian would so brazenly say she has a boyfriend like that
>>2271321
Considering how often girls in anime who repeatedly say how much they like girls turn out to be straight, the opposite must be true
>>2270910
That makes me happy, actually.
I want Kasumi x Arisa and Saya x Rimi. No need for a third wheel.

New Preview PV for Pastel*Palette and Afterglow

I love how Arisa always make everything gay in every episode
Goddamnit, this is why I hate kids.
>>2280787
The placement of the kid is pretty clever, showing the impact of their fight.
>>2280787
She is you that you have repressed all your life.
>>2280845I'm sure we're all guilty of cunt/cockblocking our parents one time or other (or caretaker, unless you grew up in an orphanage).
>>2278389
I love Arisa! She is amazing.
I decided to make some 'improvements' to this relationship chart.
This week we found out the guitar shop coworker is actually from Glitter Green and she's in charge of keeping their Bass in line.
Also that Nero on Cordelia action.
I fucking love this series and it's IdiotsxSerious couples. They not only gave us glorious KasumixArisa, but now they're adding another.
Also this scene.
It's as if the animators said; "Hey did we show enough to imply that these two are together? Doesn't matter, let's just have this completely non-related scene just because"
>>2280925
Might want to use another color for that arrow on the pink background Nee-san. I almost got triggered thinking you didn't denote Kasumi and Arisa as lovers like the two on top.

See my second sentence and switch your account to the JP store.
As usual, make sure you have a JP account and VPN ready.
The rhythm element is similar to SIF but the game itself is different. For starters, it has a multiplayer mode.
Time to introduce the Mobage Bands. Other than Afterglow, there are 4 other groups in the Game.
Introducing Afterglow. The game describes them as a 'Childhood Friends' group. If you're a Fan of Childhood Friends yuri, this is your band.
Idol-themed Rock Band.
Think Criticrista from Show By Rock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp6kV5JWPdQ
The Goth Rock-themed band Roselia.
It's notable that they were the first Mobage Band immediately introduced on the day of the game announcement.
The band notably contains two other Bushiroad favourites (Aina Aiba and Haruka Kudo) as well as Love Live's Tsubasa on drums.
Hello, Happy World.
The Marching Band-themed band.
tfw the game has just released.
It's gayer than SIF already.
>>2289610
Kasumi x Arisa is OTP
>>2289611
Okay, the fact that I don't know how to read the kanji after "isshoni" is just making that picture gayer.
"Let's do it, Please~. I want to xxxx with Arisa"
Gorgeous.
>>2289981
"I want to perform with Arisa"
All these pairing in the game holy shit
My heart can't take it
Am I crazy to think this game is way better than SIF?
>The relationship are more complex.
>There's actual plot with drama and character development.
>Events don't look like filler, then.
>It feels like a real VN, even has CG.
>No stamina.
>Anison covers.
I also didn't realize any waifu pandering yet, although those might be hidden in the girls cards story.
This one explain the last anime episode.

>Am I crazy to think this game is way better than SIF?
No, this game is hitting all the right notes so far it's awesome.
>>2291062
>rhythm game
>hitting all the right notes
i_see_what_you_did_there.jpg
>>2291048
So far, I spot
LisaYukina- Childhood Friends
AkoRin- Shy Pianist and Chuuni? It is YoshiRiko without a canon rival. Ako actually thinks Ako's stupid act is cool.
Kaoru and everyone- Kaoru is the prince type so it is expected she flirts with every girl she meets but I think her princess should be Idol Chisato.
AyaEve- Eve thinks Aya is cute but since they are Idols, they are probably poly.
>>2291305
Actually, everyone in the band is fawning over Yukina.
Also, I did some card individual events. Those who play SIF might remember this was where they would pander to the player.
Here they're clearly talking with each other. Arisa calls Kasumi everytime in her introduction.
>>2291931
Do all those events call Kasumi?
>>2291940
I did only the introduction event since I need level 20 to do the other one and I don't have any other card since I'm saving for the special gacha. But all introduction events are made for another girl in the band. All Poppin Party is probably Kasumi, but others band is another girl.
Keep in mind that the game does have a "player character", clearly genderless, that is a staff in the live house. But so far they only called that character in some random moments in the main story. I think if they would do some kind of pandering, they would make that character being the one talking with them in all individual events.
They also shout each other names in the lives, and the pairings are really defined. Like, Arisa and Kasumi shout each other name a lot, so does Saya and Rimi.
It is just me or the game is really like Starlight Stage? I mean, the UI design and even the BGMs are really similar.
>>2291975
The gameplay reminds me a lot like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Which makes sense since it's suppose to be a 'band' game.
>>2291990
Yeah the "lives" themselves are different. I was talking about everything else. Even the options menu during the story segments is really like the Starlight Stage one.

I really can't choose.
Would be easier vote for ships, though.
Happy Birthday Rimirin.
For the game can you use the same account on multiple devices like CGSS or would I have to constantly transfer the account between devices?
I hope Moca has better than a certain other silver haired girl.

This Week's Insert Song
http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9394021
Poppin Party's Stage at AnimeJapan 2017
http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9401546
>>2297192
Main highlight of PasuPare's story is learning Chisato invited Maya to join when she saw how beautiful she was without her glasses.
I like how the game shames people who die in multi.
So is this franchise doing well overall or has gotten a lackluster response?
>>2297607
Anime is just okay and it seems like they can't sell merchandise. But the game is being well received.
Seriously, it was stupid to make an anime before the game (that by how polished it is, it's probably their main focus) was out.
>>2297561
Not really. Even if you do not play or barely a play, you still get points. Such leeching.
>>2297616
I doubt they entirely intended for the anime to promote the game since it's still solely the story of Poppin Party, the original band as opposed to every other band in the game.
The real story of Bang Dream was how the anime ended up so unpolished compared to the game. Sure, there's yuri and we love it but the show has been very pedestrian. It took a long time for them to actually form their band or actually perform their first show altogether.
Now during this time they should give us something else to latch on. Other anime would fill it with character-driven comedy. Now there is that and that's good but sometimes their conversation devolves into the same repetitive topics- 'let's practice, our dream of playing there.'
That's not even getting into the animation. When it comes to playing their instruments and given the choice between 3d and 2d, Xebec chose the weird compromise of rarely if not ever showing it at all. For me at least, I'd rather see them actually playing their instruments in obvious 3d than not seeing it at all. For an anime, whose major feature is girls playing in a band that's a definite negative.
Also the ED, why did no-one fix the eyes before they submitted it for final editing?
>>2298002
They probably meant those signs above the head. But that appears if your life is in the red, too, so it doesn't help much.
I am bad at rhythm games, but I still can't understand how some people can lose playing on normal.
>>2298122
>Now there is that and that's good but sometimes their conversation devolves into the same repetitive topics- 'let's practice, our dream of playing there.'
Funny that according to the gamethey won't even play there. It's still their objective.
I don't know how a sequel would work when the game clearly follows the anime, and the other bands story are already being told in it.
>>2298161
Either they save their gay bar through the power of music, it renovates and re-opens in a location as CiRCLE or they fail miserably and they move to a more up-city gay bar called CiRCLE.

Last minute rush pushed me just past 50k fucking god damn it.
Thank god starting next event the 3* card will be available through points can just ignore tiering now.
I am pretty curious how they will balance being able to grind points all day now though.
In the next episode, we finally learn who Saya's ex is. Saya used to be part of another band and played with them until her mum got sick in the middle of a Festival.
Realising she can't balance taking care of her sick mom and practicing with her gay band, she decided to quit.
A shame Saya did that, I'm sure Natsuki and co would be more than willing to move their practice station over to her house. That way Saya could have her gays, her band and 3 extra set of hands.
If you've seen the relationship map you'll notice two of them are from Haneoka, the other school in Bandori which is attended by YukiLisa, Tomoe and others in the game.

It is true that it's a great excuse for Kasumi to go around poppin' her classmates' cherries.

In the world of Bang Dream (memes), all vocalist are in fact rapists.
Looking at the other bands
HHW- Kokoro is really stupid but at the same time a ever-smiling optimist. Kaoru will probably make the move on her and it's only a matter of time before everyone else falls for her stupid grin a la Yui.
PasuPare- Rule seems to be Idol Red Leader is the harem lead. We don't know how strong Aya is yet.
Afterglow- I can confirm MocaRan is definitely a thing based on the Bandori wikia profile.
Roselia- Everyone loves Yukina.
>>2300949
As I mentioned before, Starbeat is my favourite song. If Fuwa Fuwa Time brought me to Bang Dream, Starbeat convinced me to stay.
Although after this episode, I'll never look at it the same. Who would have thought Starbeat could be so gay?
To me this was one of the better dramas. You got to know the characters enough to care about who was involved and it wasn't a problem they overreacted over like certain other shows. Although at the same time I can't help but think it's unresolved. Saya's mom is still sick. What happens if she collapses again or worse, ends up dying of whatever illness she is suffering from?
>I can confirm MocaRan is definitely a thing based on the Bandori wikia profile.
In the game, Moka makes Ram change clothes in front of her and calls her sexy.
By the way, I keep taking so much screenshot of gay moments in the game that I'll fill my SD soon.
Also, although everyone does love Yukina, Yukina is the most dere for Risa alone.
>>2301013
Anything for PasuPare?
>>2301372
Just this
>I don't understand, after thinking so much about it, I started to love Aya-chan a lot! Everyone else is interesting, too! I super love you!

If we're going to go that way, why not the Kannazuki no Miko and/or Strawberry Panic OPs as well?

>>2306534
So the answer is no?
>>2306534
I somewhat doubt "Please write any comments and requests you have for the game" means to suggest covers for the game.
Sounds more like asking what Quality of Life improvements you want for the game itself. (i.e. increasing the max number of flames)

https://bandori.party
The creators of Schoolidol.tomo and Cinderella Producer have created a new dedicated card database/community for Bang Dream.
Circlejerking aside, it seems useful once you figure out how to use it.
https://bandori.party/card/535/Tomoe-Udagawa-Cool/
One point of contention though, I'm kind of iffy about how they translated the Bang Dream 'skill for increasing the time window.' Here it is called '判定強化' in game and yet it's been translated as Perfect Lock. Wouldn't the literal translation 'Strengthen Judgement' be more appropriate? I also know that T7s wikia uses 'Expand Judgement' so perhaps that is also appropriate.
I understand that they are most likely using SIF as a precedent for their translation but if that's the case it doesn't seem appropriate. While all rhythm games are probably the same, translating it like this seems to be throwing a SIF niche on top of Bang Dream at the expense of the finer details like the in-game terminology.
On another note, taking a closer look at both the Schoolidol database and the Japanese atwiki source I'm not even sure where the term 'Perfect Lock' came from. Almost every SIF SR card has a unique skill name even though they all fit into three categories (heal stamina/score up/boost time for you to tap) and that being the case, someone started using Perfect Lock as a blanket term.
Oh Kasumi you irresistible chick magnet.
