An anime film inspired by the ARGONAVIS franchise titled ARGONAVIS the Movie: AXIA will be released on November 4, 2022. The plot of the film revolves around an online rumor that the 5-piece band GYROAXIA (which is active in Sapporo ) will matter.
The rumor causes strife and confusion among the band members, especially with one singer in particular, Nayuta Asahi. This conflict causes Nayuta to remember how his father, Tsunekawa Iryu, abandoned him and he wonders why he cares so much about being part of the band and whether he should keep singing.
FROM ARGONAVIS is a Japanese boy band project by Bushiroad that features live performances and its anime counterpart. It is interesting to note that the voice actor who plays the character in the anime is a real live idol and is part of the band ARGONAVIS of GYROAXIA.
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming anime movie:

Will the girls of BangG Dream! meet the guys FROM ARGONAVIS?
Fans speculated whether the girls from the BangG Dream! Universe was supposed to interact with the guys in the new project, but franchise creator Takaaki Kidani stated that there will be no interaction between the girls and the guys in FROM ARGONAVIS and that they are in different worlds from each other. Since the BangG Dream! franchise was originally all-female. There was some confusion when the all-male-character ARGONAVIS project was revealed as an expansion. This prompted ARGONAVIS to be turned into an independent project set in an alternate universe.
BangG Dream! was set in Shinjuku, Tokyo, while ARGONAVIS FROM BANGG DREAM! takes place in Hokadate, Hokkaido. The band ARGONAVIS consists of 5 first year university students.
