"Even if we lose our way, we keep moving."
Blurb: The sequel to BanG Dream! It's MYGO!!!!! following the titular band coming together and falling apart as each member is forced to confront their struggles, insecurities, and traumas.
Why is it worth your time?: Mutsumi Wakaba, the rhythm guitarist of Ave Mujica, has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her alter Mortis first fronts in Episode 3, and is a recurring character throughout the series. While Mortis is somewhat of an antagonist to Mutsumi, she's given more nuance then most Jekyll and Hyde style systems are given in media, and she's shown to be genuinely well meaning and trying to protect Mutsumi. Their arc together ends with the rest of the system reawakening after several years of dormancy, able to work together and switch out depending on the situation.
The series does dramaticize its depiction of plurality, but the entire show is very, VERY dramatized, and while Mutsumi and Mortis are in conflict for a good portion of the series, they do eventually reconcile. This show isn't for everyone, but it's still worth watching if you can tolerate/enjoy Girls Being Bad With Each Other.
Plural/+1 Tags: abuse high-focus, closeting, enmity, teamwork, friendship, switching, visions
Content Warnings: parental abuse/neglect, hallucinations from character's pov, depictions of poverty, depictions of alchoholism, the bandmates all just generally having very toxic relationships with each other, character lying about their entire identity, same character being unhealthily obsessed with the protagonist,
Accessibility Notes: Show is available on Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video(?) officially.
Misc. Notes: Currently has a sequel movie in production as of the time of writing.
