BanG Dream Our Notes Builds Its Story Around Full-Proportioned Presentation
The piece reads Our Notes as a deliberate step up from Girls Band Party: story front and center, fully proportioned characters, and fully animated songs, with layered monetization weighing on the package.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
BanG Dream! Our Notes launched globally a little under a month ago, aiming to update the Girls Band Party (GBP) formula for players drawn in by the SANZIGEN anime series. The game is story-forward, with full-voice-acted cutscenes adapted from the anime and Live2D cutouts. Where GBP used chibi characters, Our Notes keeps everyone fully proportioned, with animated home screens and in-song band visuals.
BanG Dream! Our Notes is story-forward by design. Players are led directly to the game's story tab, where cutscenes adapted from the SANZIGEN anime series play with full voice acting and animated Live2D cutouts.
The presentation departs from Girls Band Party in other ways: home screens are lightly animated tableaux that respond to taps, and during songs the equipped band members appear on screen playing, or a fully animated music video plays instead. The gacha Snapshots carry animated flourishes at high rarity.
