I don't understand why this had to exist in the first place. I remember very well when this spinoff was introduced. Bang Dream was at its peak when it was beloved by both males and females. This worthless male spinoff just antagonized them and the then-president of Bushiroad made a lame excuse that the boys were in a separate universe. Literally no asked for this. It's a waste of time and money.

It was nice that they removed the Bang Dream name from it and made it into a separate franchise a few years later but the damage had been done. Considering that Bushiroad is currently having financial woes, saying that this project is going into "indefinite hiatus" in 2025 is a very gently way to say that it is dead. And people wonder why Love Live still doesn't have its own male spinoff yet.

Okay first of all, Argonavis exists for the same reason other music projects exist: to make people happy through music and story. The Argonavis Project ISN'T worthless in the slightest unlike that attitude of yours. Besides, you don't know if people asked for it or not so you can't speak for everyone. Argonavis is definitely worth the time and money but Bushiroad and it's CEO seem to love neglecting projects that aren't BanG Dream such as D4DJ, Love Live, Vanguard, Revue Starlight, etc.

I'm also gonna assume that you didn't read the entire article because if the Argonavis was going to be over, they would've said it right then and there. But no, they love the project, the seiyuu, the staff, and the fans so much that they chose to go on an indefinite hiatus in order to recharge and come back better than ever before. I bet you didn't know that because of the Argonavis Project, we were able to get something amazing called Sound Only Lives during the pandemic (you probably thought that BanG Dream did it first, but NOPE).

Anyway, male music projects no matter where they came from, whether they came into this world as a spin-off or a completely original idea, deserve to be loved just as well as the female music projects. The only mistake that was ever made was Bushiroad not giving them the support that they deserve.

Of course the first comment is insulting the project with unnecessary hate. Not like the fans had to deal with that too for years Rolling Eyes

Anyway, hope this and Bushiroad's other failures this year tank them because GYROAXIA (who had a major debut with Universal and then Bushi did /nothing/ else with them) could've become really great.
