No, Ave Mujica was great. You can criticize its direction, but please don't call it AI works because there are real people involved behind it, who took a lot of care in composing, screen write, and animate it. They did a great job experimenting the format, incorporating horror element on a band girl anime. Especially, when there are worse anime out there made by people who know nothing about animation, e.g. Ex-arm.

The animation in half the scenes is like 12 FPS (because they couldn't be bothered to wait for a full render)

That's like the standard fps for an anime. Anime was animated in what they called on-2 (a picture holds for 2 frame in 24 fps), so any other anime also animated in 12 fps. They left it as stylistic choice, and I didn't find the lower frame making the anime feels stiff or awkward

The characters lips move like goldfish eating flakes whenever they speak/sing.

That's also the standard in anime, they only have mouth animated with 2-3 frame open and closing. Ave Mujica did a great job at making it emotive despite that limitations

They appear to have used stock mocap for the characters playing instruments and couldn't be bothered to match up their movements to the music.

They actually took their VA performance's motion capture with actual experience playing their instrument. Like any Bang Dream anime, Ave Mujica has a real band counterpart and you can see their live band performance on bandori channel. I think they did a great job to emote the performance and still keep it in sync.

So, please stop comparing it with AI
