*** BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! ***
Right from the start I wasn't a fan of the CGI character design. The characters had rigid movements. I felt it would be much better as hand drawn or even a live action show. It took me several episodes to get into the show.
The show is about making music. Getting together with friends and music can be rewarding but a difficult thing to do. Because music is hard. Harder for a band to work. Imagine every member gets his part right except one. Then is can be a problem for the band. Show also deals with the sudden loss of a band member. I thought the vocals were the weakest but that seemed to be mostly form nervousness of the singer. I didn't think the songs were great but they were full of emotions. The eventually gets better and I think at episode 10 it…

♡ "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!" is a series that surprised me in a positive way. All my previous experience with band animes was "K-ON!", which is vastly different.
♡ While "K-ON!" is more of a "cute girls doing cute things" type, "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!" takes on a completely different approach: it shows you a real story, often wholesome and cute, but just as often - emotional. The plot will take you on a magnificent adventure which will hook you to the screen. You will crave to know what happens next. The characters have depth and it takes time to fully know them, which makes it so a clear picture of them starts painting itself only near the end of this season. The anime also features a lot of music and singing, putting a lot of focus on this aspect (making it so it can truly be call…

Feels like I never really got the chance to compliment how great MyGO!!!!! truly is and how much it motivates me in so many ways.
I finished it a while ago, but I always tell everyone to watch it because it’s just that good. I finally decided to take some time to put my thoughts together and explain why it’s so special, and why there are so many good things about it. When I see that the majority of fans of this series are Japanese teenagers, much younger compared to other Bandori fans, many of whom are in their late 20s or 30s, it becomes clear that MyGO!!!!! has struck a unique chord because the series makes noticeable connections to current social norms and issues around anxiety and mental health struggles. If you’re watching closely, it almost feels like the story is speaking directly…

When first drawing up the third generation of new bands for the Bang Dream franchise, its staff was looking to turn a corner with the stories told through their bands and lay the groundwork for a tonal shift towards "more realistic" storytelling. The result of their new approach is this entry centered around MyGO!!!!!, one of three said new bands. With it comes a broader appeal that has reignited the popularity of the franchise, increased its accessibility, and put itself in stride with the music anime boom that has occurred over the past few years. How does this come to be? This review will aim to address the impact it has had on its parent franchise and music anime as a whole. Let’s begin.
The synopsis immediately gives notice of what makes MyGO’s story different from any story in the f…

This anime took me quite a bit by surprise. There's certainly a bit of awkwardness to the production and not everything works perfectly as I'd imagine it was intended, but it still evens out to pretty solid results by the end.
For starters, the character writing is occasionally a little strange and not every dramatic moment feels natural (particularly when it comes to Soyo), but the majority of the main and side cast are fairly strong characters. Tomori in particular is a fantastic character, and the episode which is entirely from her POV is masterfully done. If Anon was the main character, Tomori absolutely upstages her (which is actually strangely thematic given how much Anon wanted to be the "main character" of the band at the beginning of the story in the first place, but then settled…

Note: This review was made before I watched the sequel "Ave Mujica". Some criticisms may be refuted in the sequel, but I am reviewing this as a standalone work. If you are wondering, I personally recommend this anime, but beware if you hate melodrama (you will punch your screen).
Spoilers ahead.
There are a ton of anime focusing on girl groups and music (ranging from idols to bands to DJs to superpowers). MYGO is another one of these anime, and it excels in creating extremely realistic (and irritating) school drama. This can be compared to a work such as White Album 2, where the purpose of the anime is to make the viewer want to punch the screen (this is a compliment). The four main girls are incredible in which nearly every action they did until the climax made me facepalm. I have to ap…

The first bandori anime where drama was taken seriously. There used to be drama too, the characters could be rude. For example chu2
But they were afraid to reveal the drama. They were afraid to make the characters not apologize after what they had done
Without spoiler, Soyo is the main anime gem. All the characters are interesting, but Soyo is the most complex
The plot is well written, the characters are well written, the music is very cool, and the 3D is beautiful
I love mygo, gbc and mujica. This is a new step for girl bands anime
Anime with real human problems. It wasn't just cute girls, it was the drama that touched me and the girls I'll remember

BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! dares to ask a single question: what if they made an idol anime that was actually good?
I've been watching idol anime for... what, like, a decade now? I've seen a bunch, from the okay to the completely dogshit. But unfortunately there's always been a single point of contention in most idol anime: you can't have female characters who have problems, because that might turn away potential consumers. Which you know. Problems lead to conflict and it's pretty hard to have a show without that!
Luckily in the past five years or so, starting largely with Project Sekai's popularity, it seems like idol anime has turned away from this trend. And thank GOD! It's so gratifying to see female led shows that have characters that behave like actual teenage girls, with the cruel…

10/10. I’ll review this as an anime enjoyer as well as a ex professional stage composer/producer/musician/roadman. Disclaimer, i will be more full nerd mode on analyzing the music. If you are not a music freak, maybe this anime will be somewhat tough to watch tho.
I’ll start with the best part of the anime, the music.
This anime is too good to be true. I’m a hardcore music enthusiast, not an elitist, i enjoy every genre i came across. From classical, rock, metal, folk, jpop/rock and all other genre and sub-genre that i can’t mention one by one because it would be too long.
I judge music based on the composition, for me theres 2 indicators of a great music. Balance composition instrumental wise in arrangements and the amount of effort that the song quality is made. Quality is not just bas…

If there is a ranking list for the most underrated anime in history, this is top 1. People would easily overlook MyGO because 1) it's part of the Bang Dream universe 2) it's the cliche "cute high school anime girls do bands" genre 3) it's 2.5D. They are making a fatal mistake. MyGO has an insanely well-written story packed with unexpected plot twists, expressive details, and subtle emotions that very few anime, even beyond the cliche music genre, could handle. I was never a Bang Dream fan or ever a "girl band" fan, but now I have bought MyGO albums just because of this anime alone. A flawless rollercoaster experience. I can't say anything about the other Bang Dream shows but MyGO is a standalone masterpiece.
With all that being said, its final score depends on Ave Mujica, so fingers cross…

This is my first entry into Bang Dream but I am aware the mood is different from other series in the franchise. BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! is simply amazing.
The story is amazing and builds up appropriately keeping certain things secretive until it is time to address the issues. There is an crescendo of drama but with appropriate tension reliving moments up to the climax. Details are dropped at early times in the story to set the stage for further events.
The main characters are all enjoyable. They feel internally logical and have great character arcs. My personal favorite is Soyo. She goes through a lot to end up the way she does at the end and none of it feels forced. Anon is an absolute saint and her interactions with everyone else is great. Minor characters that are important down t…

I’m not the kind of person that needs to pretend that everything they like is a masterpiece, somethings I like are good, but not perfect, others I have no problems admitting are just plain garbage. But Mygo? The fact that this anime doesn’t even get half the recognition it deserves drives me INSANE
no anime has hit me since day one quite like this. Every single scene comes together like a beautiful tapestry, every line of dialogue, every symbolism, every camera angle, it’s woven so expertly, that I’m in pure awe that many of the decisions made weren’t pre-planned at all.
The characters? So raw and real, they’re messy, but not in the over theatrical way, they’re all just figuring out how to be teenagers, how to be human, and they can’t even call each other proper friends, but they unders…

The first few episodes are quite amazing, but I think it drags on near the end, becoming a much more generic idol show. It's clear that the final few episodes are written just to get people interested in the new group, that (if you already know Bandori) just looks like Roselia 2.0. And, MyGo (the band) itself felt forced in the way it came together. Most of the characters don't feel like genuine friends, and it's treated like "once people get over their argument, they'll be besties!" which doesn't really make sense. The animation isn't bad, but I think it looks quite choppy at times when they reduce the framerate to make it look 2D. The voice acting is pretty strong.
I think people who liked Girls Band Cry or maybe Bocchi The Rock would like this, but I didn't, so I can only partially reco…

When I finished watching this show, I have to shout: "Wow!! That's how you should do drama in anime!!!".
What I'll be writing here is purely my thoughts on the show. Before you read it, I'm assured you there is no spoilers and you don't need to know and watch any previous installments of the BanG Dream! Franchise to watch It's MYGO!!! And I'm a big fan of CGDCT anime along with idol/ music anime overall, so what I think is good might be a little bit bias.
The series kicks off with a more gloomy and somber tone than most idol shows! CRYCHIC, a girls band broke up without knowing the reasons, it left all its member pain, trauma and broken hearts. This took a surprising turn cause' BanG Dream! is mostly known as an anime with a really fun, bright story blending with some melodrama.

It seems that Japan has been taking the girls band/idol-ish subgenre a bit more seriously lately, so I wanted to check out some of those titles, starting with this entry of the vast BanG Dream multimedia franchise and all of their bands.
Word online says that it’s different from other entries by being far more dramatic, but also falling into the exaggerated and overdramatic. Well, my opinion about it is fairly neutral, as it wasn’t what I was expecting in both a good and a bad sense.
From the negative side, the tone wasn’t as serious as I expected it to be and the drama wasn’t as good nor as well established as I was expecting, as there is no clear reasoning behind the disbanding of the former band until just a brief hint at the very end of the series. Thus the main conflict isn’t looked…

I went into this thinking 'damn this gonna be boring asf lmao' but it's actually given me my second dose of autism arigathanks tomori-chan...
First of all once again do not judge a book by its cover, I'd say the character designs are very VERY simple compared to other bandori characters especially when you could put MyGO!!!!! next to hello happy world and it'd look like they rocked up at the wrong kids party BUT THIS IS TO DECIEVE YOU MY FELLOW AUTISTICS DO NOT LOOK AWAY AND FOCUS ON THE BAND AIDS AND THE AQUARIUM TRUST ME
In all honesty I think this is some of the best character writing bandori has ever done and I felt connections with all the characters YES EVEN SOYO I know twitter really hates mentally ill bitches but I'm not a soyo apologist I'm a soyo accepter let her be flawed she'…

MyGO fell below expectations for me. I had seen people hype it up, but I couldn't help but think it was inferior in just about every way to Girls Band Cry. I couldn't really sympathize with the characters, except maybe Anon and Tomori. People act selfishly without explaining themselves, and are never really reprimanded for it. Sakiko is straight up just a bitch, yet people like Soyo bend over backwards to please her for no reason. It's cringe. And now they want to make a sequel starring Sakiko's band. The music is decent, the animation is on par with other BanG Dream seasons, and the comedy actually got me a few times. Oh and the girls are cute.

The most surprising thing about MyGO is how it even came to existence. If you told me the same people who did all the Sanzigen Bandori shows were doing a full drama-focused entry, I'd have avoided it based on that alone. The series does not have a good track record for its forced drama moments, and the first Roselia movie was practically a lesson on how NOT to do a drama-focused show. My main problems were that how superficial and self-congratulatory the drama is depicted in these shows, where everyone is overly nice and forward-looking, and everyone has that "corporate-friendly/marketable" personality which means no one can truly be a terrible person.
Then somehow MyGO happened. From the get go you have Anon, who may seem like a genki type like Kasumi and the like, but has her own depths…

This is a review from a guy who never watched or played BanG Dream before, a pure and honest review on MyGO!!!!!
In short: Great anime in terms of script writing and camera usage, one of the best anime in 2023, super popular in Asian comminity.
I’ll try to keep this neutral and no spoiler.
~What is 'MyGO!!!!!'?
MyGO!!!!! is an original anime from a girl band series called "BanG Dream ''. And MyGO!!!!! is one of the newest bands in 2023. However, the show does nothing about the old series. There's only a couple of easter eggs for old fans, and none of them will affect new comers to enjoy the show.
Hence, MyGO!!!!! at the same time is also a 2.5 dimension project, which means voice actors will also hold a live concert. For more information you might check out their official website or…

In short, BanG Dream MyGO is absolutely outstanding. Not just a great BanG Dream anime, but a great anime in general.
The show is a massive departure from the mess that made up the original anime trilogy. The plot has an actual sense of direction and cohesiveness, for one. For two, the writers have dropped the kira-kira doki-doki-ness, which I think is for the better. How more many generic wholesome music anime do we need?
The story features heaps of internal and external conflict as the girls battle their pasts, themselves, and their fellow musicians. The drama never feels too heavy handed, yet has enough weight to make you feel invested. There's also plenty of "show don't tell" and foreshadowing to reward a rewatch or keen-eyed viewer.
The animation is some of the best 3D I've ever s…
