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…

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…

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…

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…

Let's start with my overall impression: The anime is great, but it is not for everyone.
The flaws are quite immediately obvious from the start. This is a 3D animated anime. For the most part it does not look good compared to most well-produced 2D anime. But credit's where it's due, as 3D animation goes, this is above average. The character expressions are done well, and the camera work is at times amazing, mainly during performance scenes. I can easily see many watchers turn away from this anime after the first episode or two.
The strength of the anime starts to show from episode 3. The entire episode tells the story about the previous band from Tomori's point of view. This is where I start to see the direction this anime is going. It is not a just a story about girls coming to form a ba…

Beyond my expectations, I hoped it would be a fun anime according to the anime title and the previous series, but in reality there were many dark sides and betrayals in the storyline, to be honest, I couldn't enjoy this anime and several times I wanted to stop watching it, but I tried to keep looking for the positive side and maybe A good resolution at the end of the episode, which in fact remains a mess with a loose ending where the root of the conflict from the beginning of the episode is never clearly revealed, instead showing an antagonist scene with a broken home background, maybe if there is a season 2, the antagonist character Saki will be the main MC with the background of a broken home and to make the story darker, scenes of domestic violence are added which usually lead to scenes…

I really wanted to love this. Ends up more in the "like" column. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for music anime.
Yes this does a few innovative things... for a Bang Dream show. It has deep, complicated characters and relationships... for a Bang Dream show. It has fairly strong music... for a Bang Dream show. The plot itself is not terribly complex, which is not a problem if you have strong performances. Sadly, the voice acting is not up to snuff.
When you realize that Bang Dream was conceived as a money machine first and everything else a distant second, the seams in the product really start to show. Sure there's some appeal to having your anime characters jump out into real life and play an actual concert... but the anime suffers for it. Anon is the "leader" trying to f…

The story of MyGO is one of the best in the Bang Dream series. The way they set things up and then made them pay off was amazing. They didn't leave any loose ends, even the small stuff.
The camera work in the show was great. It helped us understand what the characters were feeling and set the mood for scenes. They also used the full versions of songs during live performances, which was a nice touch.
The attention to detail in replicating Tokyo locations and musical equipment was incredible. You could even identify the gear used by the characters, which is awesome if you're a music and gear enthusiast.
MyGO consistently had good writing, and it wasn't afraid to show intense and emotional scenes. And if you're a cat lover, you'll be happy because the series has a character who's like a ca…

This episode just gave shape and a clear explanation to the entire anime with that ending, why Sakiko is the most toxic character in the anime and her problems, if it weren't for her none of this anime would have developed. This anime is objectively speaking the best product ever released in the anime musical genre in history, not only the discography and improvement in visual quality speak very well of it but also the complexity of its characters and how they solved their problems by adapting to a great scheme of personalities, just as it happens in real life. Even the transition episodes were great, since they provided adequate continuity and gave shape to the plot that was being discussed at the time.

'BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!' expands on the format already established by the first three seasons of the anime while bringing with it amazing visuals and brilliant characters, all delivered with excellent emotional moments and writing.
there are few things that can compare to losing a friend. the hole in your life they tear open by leaving, the gap in days where they used to be and the reminders of memories you made staring you all in the face. maybe it was a wrong turn you took that drove them away, perhaps it was something you said or maybe your paths were never meant to cross in the first place. the spring sunlight paints over the memories, and leaves a gallery in your mind of the moments lost to time. this is exactly what the show feels like, a showcase of tomori's memories that stret…

*BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!* has its characters start at the lowest point imaginable – a band having broken up, friendships fractured, and feelings hurt. Togawa Saki rubbed salt on a wound so quickly and ruthlessly that any chance at repairing things reads as nonexistent. Considering how much the franchise up to this point has relied on its sense of communal fun, it seems like the most-antithetical, experimental, and sure-to-fail approach that could have been taken. To be sure, the franchise has never been afraid to dip its toe into the more-dramatic aspects of its universe; the two-part *Episode of Roselia* film series and the arcs from seasons two and three certainly showed that. But to start at the absolute bottom and with that melancholic overhang? It’s making a sincere ask of its audi…
