Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 78 /100

BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! received a largely enthusiastic reception from anime reviewers, who praised it as a surprising breakout success. Outlets like Anime News Network highlighted how the show managed to transcend its role as a promotional multimedia spin-off, crafting a distinct identity that stands strong on its own artistic merits.

Reviewers frequently noted the series' ability to make audiences root for flawed, often infuriating characters. Some critics even lauded it as a sleeper hit of the Summer 2023 season, comparing its appeal to prominent music anime like K-ON! and Bocchi the Rock!. However, opinions were not entirely unanimous, with a minority of reviewers viewing the series as significantly overrated.

“As a fresh start spin-off and ongoing multimedia tie-in, the MyGO crew has accomplished something remarkable here, crafting an anime that fulfills those obligations while still standing, screaming, on stage as itself.”

“MyGO is remarkable in that it brings you to love (well, at least a little bit) these absolutely infuriating and occasionally despicable characters.”

“This is the sleeper hit of the summer 2023 season, the one that'll be always called criminally underrated and brought up as something worth watching...”

Why fans love it

High school drama meets anime music culture in this 2023 animated series. Instead of taking an easy path to musical stardom, the story focuses on the friction of assembling a group from scratch. Arriving late at Haneoka Girls’ Academy leaves transfer student Anon scrambling to recruit bandmates in an environment where girl bands are already hugely popular and most potential musicians are taken.

The narrative centers on the uneasy dynamic between an eager newcomer and Tomori, a hesitant school misfit. Featuring voice performances by cast members including Hina Youmiya, the show grounds its school life setting in the messy reality of personal connections. Viewers respond to the persistent effort on display, showing that starting a band requires navigating real emotional hesitation long before the music ever begins.
