A quick follow-up to a short MyGO!!!!! analysis.
Bushiroad were much stricter in controlling what footage was allowed on Youtube this time, so excuse the sometimes-weird-looking visuals 🙏.

Bushiroad decided to be more controlling over what footage from the show was allowed to be uploaded to Youtube, so to get around it, I added some glitchy graphics every once in a while. It was the only way I could get this video online, I'm sorry.
I wouldn't be surprised if this video eventually got taken down, so I give you all free permission to reupload this to whichever websites you like, other than Youtube of course. I'm not much for preservation, personally.
Wonderful video. I appreciate your analysis and the length you were willing to go to analyze it.
Please do not feel bad if you felt like you could have gone into more depth with it.
There's just so much to discuss when it comes to Ave Mujica, especially with all the parallels and motifs.
36:25 Some [patterns] were placed with intent, but others were mere accidents… Not everything is a puzzle, and not every puzzle has a solution.
Very well said. There are a lot of people discussing Ave Mujica that need to hear this.
I have been waiting for this. 50 min of peak incoming.
Thanks for your job. I really liked it.
15:14 lmfao
Lets just blame Mutsumi. Everyone else does so.
That was brutal
Fantastic video! I'm so glad you made another! Absolutely loved the section about Soyo and Mutsumi's background themes overpowering each other at different points in the two shows. This was absolutely an insane show to follow week by week, and it's good that videos like this are there to cover the little intricate details that someone could've missed beyond the explosive plot points. Did any character stick out to you in particular by the end of the show? Anyways, great video, will be back if you ever decide to make another one!
Just finished watching this show today. This is a wonderful video.
Such a wellmade video, def looking forward when the new season comes outtt
Awesome, loved your MyGO analysis back in the day so great to have the Ave Mujica one!
By the by I made a simple MyGO rewatch subtle details compilation on my channel which might interest you! Not much of an analysis but some fun extra-obscure details in it.
The fact you're still not gonna be done with the AveMygo analysis because of how Bandori announced a sequel to AM means there's (hopefully) another analysis video (that I actually hope will be longer than this video)
OMG AMAZING VIDEO TYSM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
