BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!

In their last year of middle school, the five band members of CRYCHIC went their separate ways after an unpleasant disbandment. Each wrestling with their own regrets, the girls enrolled in different high schools, hoping never to hear from one another again.

Meanwhile, Anon Chihaya transfers to Haneoka Girls' Academy in the middle of the school year. As most students play in a band as a hobby, Anon desires to fit in and spends her first days trying to recruit members for her own band, envisioning herself as the group's vocalist. She befriends Tomori Takamatsu, a shy girl who seems interested but hesitant about joining. As it turns out, Tomori used to be part of CRYCHIC, an experience that has scarred her deeply.

Through Tomori, Anon meets Taki Shiina and Soyo Nagasaki, both former members of the same band. Although Taki detests the idea of playing with Anon, Soyo is delighted to help her out. Now with Soyo by her side, Anon's dream of forming a band is within reach—if only she could find a few more members.

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 cruelty, the pain and the mess that involves. MyGo has autistic characters who deal with the isolation inherent in that experience, it shows what it actually would take to maintain a flawless sweet anime girl facade and the internal torment needed to maintain it, it has messy characters that hurt each other, and every moment of it feels so much more human for it.

Rarely is the grief involved in losing friendships taken so seriously as it is here, and it doesn't end with a perfect "everybody is happy now" ending, because in real life it doesn't. It's messy, it's complicated, we get hurt, we hurt each other, and we try to keep moving forward. And that's what the show is about - we're lost but we keep moving forward nonetheless.

Basically? Show's good. If you grew up watching idol anime like I did and you're looking for something that actually tackles with the tough times of being a high schooler I strongly recommend this show - one clearly created with care and love for the genre but also a desire to show the greater complexity of real life and resonates so much more deeply for that.

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 recommend it. Good luck

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 of immoral acts committed by his parents which change the character of the good-hearted patient into a traitor and aloof. This is in line with the last episode where a mysterious band was created with elements of gothic appearance imitating Rosalia's band. This is just my assumption, yes that's the bad impression I can imagine from this BangDream anime series, maybe this is the dark version of BangDream. I'm disappointed with this series, there isn't a single good soundtrack, there isn't a story that creates motivation related to the band and the goals they achieve, all the characters have bad social problems that end in prolonged conflict without complete resolution, so don't expect There are cheerful and positive characters in this series but there are characters with social ills who provide negative energy in the story cycle and for those who watch this anime it is really bad. I liked the previous BangDream series but not this series. So the story line rating: 4

for the soundtrack song, score: 5 (the songs don't touch my heart.Nothing can be saved for my playlist of songs from this anime soundtrack )

the graphic animation is: 7.5 (the graphic background is good but yes I don't like 2.5D characters because they don't have details, they look like inflated balloons and don't blend in with the background graphics, big-eyed anime characters are not suitable for 2.5D animation)

I don't recommend this anime because it's not a fun anime with positive motivation girlband, 80% of the story is just full of conflict without creativity that reflects the band. There is not a single element in this anime that reflects the anime title BangDream!!
