Really annoying that there's no subs currently out there which translate the on-screen text, because I feel like I'm missing a lot of important context in the second half of the episode without those translations: especially for the texts sent during that moment which began CRYCHIC's demise. Song lyrics remaining untranslated is also annoying, as if MyGO is any indication those will be massively important to the narrative.

That aside, a solid first episode for this new band with a very strong ending note with the masks already coming off. My only actual complaint plot-wise so far is that the extra layers of Sakiko's backstory became laughably predictable the moment her mum appeared on screen: it's a very cliche backstory, but effective enough.
@Atavistic I'm with ya; I kept having to pause and pull out my phone to translate the text. Hope CR only paid the translator half a salary, since they only did half the job...

EP 1

I honestly didnt want to watch this at first I guess I just give it one episode I dunno
Disclaimer: did not watch mygo
I heard this anime is somewhat connected to mygo soo i dunno
Otherwise its effectively an original

What is even goin on in this scene
I guess the whole point is that its not a normal anime


So this whole ep was basically one long sob story
Like in a sense its even worse than I thought
Like I get that its just a setup for whatever happens next its just really what even is this
And I dont really understand it feels like theres been a few leaps here and there between the flashbacks and whatever is going on with mygo

EDIT: Reading other comments it seems like mygo takes place directly before this
I wasnt really planning on watching another ep anyway or even in the first place

the title choice being just ave mujica with no indication that it's a sequel is going to hurt this show long term lol

I kind of expected Nyamu (Amoris) to be a troublemaker but WOW wasn't expecting her to spice things up first episode 😭Ave Mujica is musically my favorite Bandori band and I can't wait for them to become my favorite in general 🫶
Also, why is Sakiko's (Oblivionis) life so sad!? Like girl is only in high school and has seen more sh*t than 90% of the Bandori universe's people 😭😭 Couldn't hold my tears when she disbanded Crychic, can't wait to see her get a happy ending (AS THEY SHOULD GIVE HER)
PS : UIKA (DOLORIS) IS WAAAYYY TOO BEAUTIFUL AND TOO KIND IM IN LOVE WITH HER 🥹🥹🥹🥹

THIS IS HOW YOU START A NEW SEASON. Not like the overrated MyGo anime, that just left me wanting to give up on life entirely. Ave Mujica is already making it's way into the top five for my animes for 2025 and we are only three days into the new year.

@GalacticWeiss12 Well the biggest reason, why this season started so strong was because Its MyGo!!!!! laid out the groundworks for the story. All the angst and intrigue are consequences of what happened in MyGo. Just look at those people who started here and not watched the prequel. They are confused asf. Especially the stupid commenter a bit above you.

I'm actually not kinda excited for this series since no more kirakira dokidoki moments since MyGO!!!!!. Just like in MyGO!!!!!, they're not the fun type of series. But when I watched the first episode, I'm surprised. We now know the reason of Sakiko's disbanding because of her father that's why she created Ave Mujica. Now, they're successful and popular that their next concert is on Budokan. But Uika just made a scene by removing the masks of her bandmates and that's why I'm looking forward to the next episode. One more unique thing is the "play before live" kind of concert they have which is shown also in the MyGO!!!!! series.

Far as visuals go, I do like GBC more
But Bandori's style works just fine for me, so long as it's telling a good story

Hello,
Already the first episode of AVM is insult to intellect: the "laceface five" casually waltz into Budokan, where TogeToge couldn't arrive in a whole season. If that was so easy, everybody would be a superstar! The story immediately feels pretentious and heavily manufactured, catering to otaku psychopath stereotypes with low-hanging plot points. Animation is only little better than the very stilted MyGo! was, nowhere near Garukura.

I'd say the second half of World Dai Star is a better take within the wider "psychological" trope.

Very good introductory chapter but in my opinion "the cards are revealed very soon" as the members of Ave Mujica have already been revealed from the first episode. since this anime is not a seinen , I don't see the drama going much further. I bet this turns into a competition between mygo and Mujica bird with its dose of drama and in the end all friends, after all it is an anime for teenagers and as has already been shown in this chapter, Sakiko is simply not bad, but rather has very tough family problems (a very common cliché). Having said that, I like music more Ave Mujica than mygo, and the characters too, so perfect for me. Come on Mujica bird, crush mygo hahahaha

It was easy if you have at least 3 huge financial sources. (The Togawa Group/ sumimi's production agency / Mutsumi's family) They can just use the power of money and influence to push it toward Budokan. TogeToge don't have those. They are just like MyGo!!!!! - an elevated Indie band. While AveMujica from the start is a commercial/money grab band.

And this is proven effective business-wise. That is why we have so many isekais because it is an easy profit. As much as I agree with you with this we have to remember that this is also a business.

@Azoperoa 7.9 is already quite high considering the unreasonable CGI hate.

@Tacsk0 You missed the whole point of setting. This is not a story about a new band climbing up to the top. It's a story about a top band falling down.

@Marina2 Yes. Think of it as what if a band in BanG Dream got the bad ending like Ave Mujica.

@rookielazer Also, if at the last episode airing of the Ave Mujica anime the score is 8.0, it still pretty great score considering the 3D CGI animation isn't that fluid as Girls Band Cry. But that doesn't mean this anime is uglier or worse than GBC.

If you want the example of the bad use of 3D CGI animation watch EX Arm anime. 😂

@Marina2 Does anyone believe that this story is going to have an end with the fall of the Mujica bird? Let's not forget that the real group exists. There will be a lot of drama, but (in my opinion) no falls

nice build up since first episode. to be honest i don't really like this kind of animation. but it's ok since they will need that for the concert performance. the premises is very nice, i think some people will relate to this kind of story. i can feel how the MC feeling, their reasoning is acceptable. i'm sure someone out there know where this story goes but let's see how they cook this series. i kinda have a high hopes for this anime

@Hormigo 'fall' =/= disbandment.
