Tomori Takamatsu

This entry is the coming TV anime that brings back two of the BanG Dream! franchise's best-known bands at the same time: MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica. Official BanG Dream! channels revealed it on March 1, 2026, and said it will start airing in Japan in January 2027. Its final name has not been confirmed yet, so the one used here is only a working name for now. To see why fans care, it helps to look back. In 2023, the show BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! followed a group of girls who had all been hurt by the breakup of an earlier band called Crychic. They slowly came together to form MyGO!!!!!, a band built on raw and honest feelings, playing in small music clubs. In 2025, BanG Dream! Ave Mujica told the other side of that breakup. Former Crychic keyboard player Sakiko Togawa started a masked band that plays on grand theater stages, with each member hiding behind a stage name. That 13-episode run, made by the 3D animation studio Sanzigen and directed by Kodai Kakimoto, was a dark psychological drama. It was voted the most popular anime of Winter 2025 in a Dengeki Online reader poll. The two bands were planned as opposites, and this new anime puts them side by side. A short teaser video shows both groups playing their instruments. New art for it features Tomori Takamatsu, the singer of MyGO!!!!!, and Anon, the band's guitarist. No story summary has been released, so the plot is still unknown. There is also a step in between. A theater film, BanG Dream! Ave Mujica prima aurora, opens in Japan on October 16, 2026. It was first revealed in August 2025 under the name Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast, and was renamed in January 2026. Sanzigen made the film, with Kakimoto directing again. It takes place about six months after the band's return to the stage, and it was made to connect the Ave Mujica TV run to this new joint anime. The main girls from both bands are expected to return. From Ave Mujica, that means Sakiko, Mutsumi Wakaba, Uika Misumi, Umiri Yahata, and Nyamu Yutenji. From MyGO!!!!!, it means Tomori, Anon, and their bandmates. Details such as the episode count, staff, and story will come out closer to the January 2027 start.
