In November 2021, it is announced that the project changed its name from Argonavis from BanG Dream! to From Argonavis, meaning the project is now a whole of its own instead a part of BanG Dream!.[3] A new company centered to manage the project, Argonavis Co., Ltd. is also established with Daisuke Hyūga as the public relation manager. Some addition includes fanclub establishment, server termination of rhythm game AAside, and new smartphone game in development.[4]
From Argonavis' former name was stylistically written in all caps (ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream!) to differentiate the project and band names.[5] Although it was titled Argonavis from BanG Dream!, the BanG Dream! franchise creator Takaaki Kidani stated that there will be no interaction between the girls in the main BanG Dream! universe and the new project as they are in different worlds from the one another.[6] While the Argonavis project was originally planned as an extension of the general BanG Dream! franchise, mixed reception to the appearance of male characters in the original all-female franchise prompted Argonavis to be turned into an independent project in an alternative continuity.[citation needed]
Unlike the original BanG Dream! which is set in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Argonavis from BanG Dream! is set in Hakodate, Hokkaido.[7] Characters of the first band, Argonavis, consists of five first-year university students. They begin their debut with their "0th Live" was held July 29, 2018. The second "0th live" was held on September 15 following the third live on December 10 of the same year. The lives were held at Shimokitazawa GARDEN.[8] Argonavis' first original song, "Steady Goes!" was distributed for free for those who attended their first "0th" live.[9]
The band's first single "Goal Line" (ゴールライン) was released on February 20, 2019.[10] Their second single "Starting Over" was released on August 21, 2019.[11]
The band's first live was held on May 17 at Maihama Amphitheater, Chiba Prefecture. The projects announces manga serialization as well as music video for "Goal Line". Their second live titled Voice -Hoshizora no Shita no Yakusoku= (VOICE -星空の下の約束-) will be held on December 5, 2019, at Tokyo Dome City Hall.[12]
On November 5, 2019, Bushiroad announced that the franchise will have both anime series scheduled for Spring 2020, and a rhythm mobile game for early spring 2021 release. The game story takes place after the story in the anime. The franchise also introduced three new bands: εpsilonΦ, Fujin Rizing!, and Fantome Iris. The bands will be featured in the new game along with the Argonavis and Gyroaxia.[2]
