This is not how a well person texts:
Bang Dream! It’s Mygo!!!!! is the most darkest entry in the Bang DreaM franchise so far. Instead of nice stories about starting a band together, this one started with one breaking up and things did not improve from there. This episode again was as emo as your average Roselia concert. The focus this time was on Soyo, the ex-member of Crychic who seemed the most put together. Seemed. To be honest, I distrusted her friendliness and cheerfulness from the start. She seemed to be in denial about how badly Crychic had ended, a bit obsessed with getting back in touch with Saki, the one who broke it up in the first place. She seemed friendly and helpful, but there was always something manipulative about her.
After episode’s seven’s concert, what should’ve been a triumph turned sour because Soyo got upset they played Crychic’s old song. Soyo got upset because Saki was in the audience and she got upset hearing it. So this episode she spent ghosting her team mates and guilt tripping Mutsumi, another ex-member in bringing her to Saki’s home. Which did not went well. Saki confronted her with the truth: Crychic was not coming back and trying to revive it for her own selfish reasons would just hurt everyone. That Soyo took it badly is an understatement.
by contrast, Tomori is moving forward, even inviting Anon in to her house. I liked how we got a slow pan of her bedroom with all its various collections neatly stashed away. Also liked the detail of her serving Anon milk, when you’d ordinarily expect some sort of tea. With five more episodes to go it will be interesting to see how this will all get resolved.
