BanG Dream! Ave Mujica Episode 8 Discussion

Mutsumi's dilemma still continues. At this point, we don't even know what or who is even the real Mutsumi.
I would like to say that Uika will be the last boss.

What the hell happened with the farewell for CRYCHIC in the previous episode dawg, these girls will never moving on from that band at all.

I love this episode; so much get revealed and the Umiri's spotlight too. I always expected her to be a great character. This girl finally get the chance to stood up.

You know someone is truly messed up when even the mom admits that her daughter is messed up. Funny seeing Umiri treating soda like it's alcohol, for better or worse. Now we know her reason for being jealous. And damn right you don't have money for the rest of the month, you blew it all on Yves Saint Laurent and other branded shit for goodness' sake.

Also, we got the duality of eyes closeup in the span of one episode.

So Mortis is one of Mutsumi's roles and in this role she doesn't know how to play guitar. However the role Mutsumi-chan knows how to play. Why does Mortis have to play in band and not Mutsumi-chan?

@Myetx Well as Mortis says, she will die if Mitsumi-chan no longer needs her. At this point, it should be accepted that both Mortis and Mitsumi-chan are somewhat separate characters that can have different endings. Mortis can die if the "correct" persona becomes dominant so I'm guessing that AveMujica is angling for the case that neither are "correct" persona and they need each other. Mortis for her social skills and Mitsumi-chan for her guitar playing skills and also being someone who is caring even if she can't show it well. Finally Mortis, the doll is part of AveMujica not Mitsumi-chan so they are also going for that justification.

@six20 Thank you, this kind of make sense. I remember the part that Mortis said she will die.
But her mother said that Mutsumi is natural born actress so I thought she could switch between roles at will and she could use Mortis when needed.
Also I don't see a long time solution for Mutsumi's multiple personalities unless she will settle on one 'correct' persona.
You are right though, it does seem that for this season the 'correct' persona is Mortis playing guitar.

After watching this episode I'm shocked, the Mutsumi I have came to know was a lie all along. But that doesn't change anything as my fav from all these girls is still Mutsumi.

But it's crazy how talented she really is, at an age of 3, well that was when here mother noticed. Who know if she was like this since birth.

Guess they'll finally revive Ave Mujica once again and this episode laid the ground work for that.

Umiri is funny.

And well i think its time to admit: Ave Mujica is not as perfect as it seemed at first.

It was already noticeable in previous episode, but anime definetely went in the wrong direction.
There is too much Mutsumi, while the band has very interesting characters who are have too little screen time.
This episode proved it: Umiri is strange and funny, Nyamu is always interesting and cute. But there are too few of them.
I dont argue, that theme of Mutsumi's split personality was interesting at first, but you cant waste half season on it.

And what happened to Saki?
Why did she suddenly become cheerful? After all the band still broke up. Where is her passion for music?
And what is this obsession with Mutsumi. A couple of episodes ago Saki had to be dragged to Mutsumi by force. What a sudden change in the character's behavior.

And i miss gothic vibes. The series seems to be drowned in teenage drama and soap opera.

I hope next episode will be more of other girls and not just Mutsumi arguing with her personalities again.
