The bigger draw of Alter Ego is just how much fun all the Mujicas have in playing it, as well as how absolutely fuckable every single one of them are in it. All the drama and patheticness of the past 25 episodes have been briefly forgotten and we see these five at their public best. In the parlance of the zoomzooms, this was peak aura. Doloris, in particular, was at max charisma and had never been as sexy as during Alter Ego.
Tanebi is great, and I fucking love when MyGO goes Midwest emo, but that blend of Midwest emo/punk with Tomori's voice was just never gonna have the same type of broad popularity as Alter Ego's upbeat edgy rock infused with extra sex appeal.
