here we are. a very special series that can be recommended to anybody, even someone who has never heard of bandori in their life.
plot:
the plot may seem a bit boring at the first glance. we have mc who doesn't have passion for music, just wants to start a band in order not to be excluded from her class. seems unbearable. but once you get to know anon's motivation, that is no longer a problem. but even without anon, there's plenty of drama. like, so many. girls, stop. or not. keep going, it's actually interesting. the struggles never solved between characters, not having common ideals and
...
miscommunication can overwhelm you. but this situation is also very realistic. you get anxious and sad with them, thinking about what to do. and while this turmoil continues, the introduction of new characters is handled perfectly in the story too.
and one thing left i need to mention; although the main plot is about music, we barely watch "music performances" in the series. yet all this fuss is about "music". the friendship dramas born with "music". music helps them in every possible way. that's the point. you can still tell a story that involves music without adding the long stage scenes.
characters:
compared to previous bandori characters, these ones feels more "gen z" like. there aren't many waifu-style characters with certain appealing traits, like being cute or sexy etc. (okay, maybe raana..) i'm not saying bandori girls are basic or boring. actually i've always praised original characters as well. their stories are wonderful too. but mygo has characters that everyone can empathize with. they are not people you look at from afar and just stay with admiration. cgdct is not here, there are human-like characters which you can find yourself in. they break down very quickly, they tend to be selfish and run away randomly. and as expected, they are not very charming... but you can still enjoy character development by starting to understand them. trust me. you will like them.
sound:
oh, the seiyuus... the worst category i guess. while the best thing about bandori being their perfect seiyuu choices for each character, this make me so sad. i can't comment about band-live but their voice acting... i believe they will develop in time. otherwise, music is top tier as always. the lyrics really touches the hearts as if they came from the pen of someone who seriously has gone through these loneliness and tomori's voice is so peaceful <3 they've already became one of my favorite bands !!
overall, mygo has the potential to be the best bandori story. it's not just bandori, it might be one of the best music-themed series. there are many music-themed anime, games, etc., but very few of them convey human emotions that well. i think it's my favorite thing about mygo. everything about this feels so real and it is really surprising to watch.
