During a special BanG Dream! summer program on August 14, 2025, it was officially revealed that the BanG Dream! Ave Mujica anime is set to receive a new film project. This announcement comes alongside the unveiling of the title and specific details for the previously teased mini-anime series, now confirmed as Ganzo! Bandori-chan (also known as Ganzo! BanG Dream! Chan), which will premiere in October.
Ave Mujica Film Project in Production
The newly announced Ave Mujica anime film is confirmed to be a distinct project from the previously revealed sequel television series for both BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! and BanG Dream! Ave Mujica that was disclosed in March. As of now, it remains unconfirmed whether this new movie will be a compilation of the existing 13-episode Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast – TV anime or an entirely original cinematic production.
The BanG Dream! Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast – television anime, which aired from January to March 2025, serves as a direct sequel to BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!. The series delves into the story of Sakiko Togawa, who, after losing everything, forms the band Ave Mujica by gathering girls burdened with their own troubles and desires, ultimately raising the curtain on a “perfect masquerade.”
The core voice cast for Ave Mujica features Kanon Takao as Sakiko Togawa/Oblivionis, Akane Yonezawa as Nyamu Yutenji/Amoris, Yuzuki Watase as Mutsumi Wakaba/Mortis, Mei Okada as Umiri Yahata/Timoris, and Rico Sasaki as Uika Misumi/Doloris. The band Ave Mujica itself performs the anime’s opening theme, “KiLLKiSS,” and the ending theme, “Georgette Me, Georgette You.” Koudai Kakimoto directed the Ave Mujica anime at Studio SANZIGEN, with Yuniko Ayana handling the series scripts.
Ganzo! Bandori-chan Mini-Anime Details
Fans can look forward to the debut of the new comedy mini-anime series, Ganzo! Bandori-chan, starting October 2, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. JST. The series will be available for streaming on the official BanG Dream! YouTube channel and other platforms, with new episodes releasing every Thursday.
Ganzo! Bandori-chan is slated to be a substantial mini-anime, running for a full year with a total of 52 episodes. Returning to direct this new comedic endeavor are Kenshirō Morii and Seiya Miyajima, who previously worked on the popular BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico anime and its subsequent installments.
The Expanding BanG Dream! Franchise
The BanG Dream! multimedia project, which initially launched in 2015 by Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani, has continued to expand its reach across various mediums, including anime, music, and games. The franchise is well-known for its real-life bands, whose voice actresses also perform their characters’ instruments.
The announcements of a new Ave Mujica film and the Ganzo! Bandori-chan mini-anime further solidify the franchise’s ongoing growth and its commitment to delivering diverse content to its dedicated fanbase.
