Sequel Anime Series Confirmed for MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica
Following the final episode of the previous season of the Mujica bird series, BanG Dream! confirmed that a new sequel anime series is in production. This new series will continue the intertwined stories of MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica, two bands that have redefined the franchise’s tone with their raw emotional depth and darker themes.
