The official Twitter account for the Bocchi the Rock! anime revealed the titles of the upcoming compilation films on Monday. The first film is titled Bocchi the Rock! Re: and will open in Japan in spring 2024, while the second film is titled Bocchi the Rock! Re:Re: and is currently slated for a summer release.
The anime adapts Aki Hamaji's four-panel manga Bocchi the Rock!, which follows Hitori "Bocchi-chan" ("Loner") Gotō, a lonely high school girl whose heart lies in her guitar. She does nothing every day except strum her guitar by herself at home. However, she happens one day to meet Nijika Ijichi, who is looking for a guitarist for her group named "Kessoku Band."
Keiichirō Saitō (ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. Regards) directed the television anime at CloverWorks. Erika Yoshida (Lupin III: Part IV) supervised and wrote the series scripts. Kerorira (animation director for Wonder Egg Priority) designed the characters.
The television anime premiered on the Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV channels in October 2022, and it also ran on MRT Miyazaki Broadcasting, MBS, RKB Mainichi Broadcasting, and AT-X. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
