![]() Bushiroad's summary of Ave Mujica posted:"Will you give me the rest of your life?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Souwq8yepWQ This is the thread for AVE MUJICA - THE DIE IS CAST, the sequel/companion to 2023's BanG Dream: It's MyGO!!!!!. Q. This has something to do with BanG Dream? What's that? A. BanG Dream is the name for the media project that includes Ave Mujica and four other seasons of anime, plus related movie, music, manga, and mobile game releases. Bushiroad has apparently started dropping BanG Dream from their English-language marketing for this show, which makes sense to me. Maybe there's a Japanese pun in there but I have no idea what it means. Maybe someone else can explain. Q. This is the fifth season of BanG Dream. Do I need to watch the others? A. You don't need to watch the first three seasons--you'll catch some references and cameos but it isn't necessary--however, ADTRW's 2023 Anime of the Year It's MyGO!!!!! is required because the two series share characters and storylines. That said, expect to see spoilers for any part of the franchise up to now in this thread. Q. Okay, how do I watch this? A. Ave Mujica's first episode airs on January 2nd, 2025, and Thursdays thereafter. The official English release will be available... well, we don't know where yet. The series was rumored to land on Crunchyroll (as MyGO!!!!! did) but it's not yet on their Winter 2025 lineup. We'll see. edit: yes it's on Crunchyroll.

There are some character beats and humor that are much more obvious the second time around. Taki, for instance, is often very dramatic but a lot of what she does is also pretty funny. Also episode 10 is one of my favorite episodes of anime ever.

It's an interesting choice to drop the titling now for sure.

They took out the Bang Dream part because this show is going to be a nightmare.

This is a collection of translated Ave Mujica material, including stuff from their pre-launch ARG and the intermissions from the live shows. Pretty interesting stuff, and I wonder how much is going to play into the actual anime if anything.

Okada [Umiri]: I took some piano lessons in elementary school, but that’s all I would say I have for instrumental experience. But three months prior to being told about Ave Mujica, I thought to myself, “I should really get a leg up on my job as a seiyuu, let’s learn a new skill,” so I picked up bass. Getting told about this project not long after really felt like fate. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Takao [Sakiko], who's played piano since she was 3.

Haven't watched a simulcast in ages. Should we expect a video up on Crunchy tomorrow? (though I'll be at the mercy of whatever ends up on their Prime channel).

I'm glad Nyamu is here to be an instrument of destruction and chaos. I'm also glad the MyGO characters aren't being completely pushed aside, and that we finally found out what Sakiko's deal is.

Did the translation get worse or did I just forget what the Mygo translation was like? Getting heavy in-house translation vibes from it lol.

The AveMuji subs definitely seem to be a step down then. A lot of stilted lines and some straight-up bad lines ("a blessing or a doom" lol). Given they've started releasing a lot of the promotional/supplementary materials in English/Chinese when it was previously only Japanese I'm wondering if they also moved the anime translation in-house at the same time. Or I just grabbed a bad release but I'm pretty sure SubsPlease always go for the CR release over the non-English streaming services BlitznBurst fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jan 2, 2025 |

it might also be that avemujica's dialogue is way more complicated and trying to speak in metaphors versus mygo's dialog being more direct and emotional.
|
|
|
|
also i liked the ep. the sakiko backstory dump was slightly clumsy in places but the anon scene and the ending undrecutting it were great jokes that felt really intentional.

It was nice to see Tomori doing Tomori things again.

I knew Nyamu was here to gently caress poo poo up and chew bubblegum. I didn't expect her to already be out of bubblegum.

Some girls just want to see the world burn.

now that's how you start a season

Apparently Muse Asia translates the lyrics and text and otherwise uses the same script as the CR release. The lyrics are obviously a licensing thing, though it is extra insane that there are literally lyrics translations already made but CR are still being told "nope sorry you can't use those" (though I guess the same was true with GBC), but I can't imagine the text is anything other than a gently caress-up from either CR or whoever provided them with the subs.

Wow, I was a little worried that I might have set my expectations too high (MyGO wasn't anything special until episode 3) but this debut was great. We needed to see some Sakiko backstory here, and even though it's thrown at us at lightning speed, better that than drawing it out for a long time. Poor girl is Going Through Some poo poo. Hard to see her say that the only thing she has left is Ave Mujica when her best friend, who would probably take a bullet for her (and already has, socially) is sitting right there next to her. And, credit to the writers, in a world of smartphones and social media it would've been impossible to keep the band members a secret, so they just dispense with it in the very first episode. Can't really blame Nyamu though. If you're going to do it at some point anyway, why not Budokan? I guess the TLDR is: New New Fresh posted:now that's how you start a season

Now that we know the full story, did Sakiko have to be so cruel when disbanding Crychic? I understand why she wouldn't want anyone to know, but did she have to break everyone's hearts? She probably felt it was the easiest way to sever all ties with the group. And what was really going on would inevitably come out if she remained in touch. (What she did was still pretty extreme, but this is a drama)
