BanG Dream! It's MyGo!!!!! TV Anime Gets 2 Compilation Films in 2024

The Bushiroad New Year's Big Announcement 2024 event reported on Saturday that the BanG Dream! It's MyGo!!!!! anime is spawning two films this year. The two films will compile the television anime but also include some new footage. In particular, the second film will screen with a new "Film Live" sequence.

The first film is titled Haru no Hidamari, Mayoi Neko (A Sunny Spot in Spring, A Stray Cat), and the second film is titled Utau, Bokura ni Nareru Uta & Film Live (Sing, the Song That Can Define Us & Film Live).

Saturday's event presented a message from director Koudai Kakimoto about the two films. Kakimoto said that on this project, he wants to add some focus on Rāna Kaname. He said the first film will cover the story up to episode 7 of the television series with some new story sequences about Rāna. He added that the second film will cover the story from episodes 8 to 13.

BanG Dream! It's MyGo!!!!! premiered in Japan on Tokyo MX and streaming service ABEMA with three episodes on June 29. ABEMA streamed episodes a half hour early, starting with the fourth episode. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired. The 13th and final episode aired on September 14, followed by an announcement of a new sequel titled BanG Dream! Ave Mujica.

The anime stars the MyGo!!!!! band members:

• Hina Yomiya as Tomori Takamatsu
