The second live Togenashi Togeari concert announced at Kawasaki City on Friday that a two-film compilation of the Girls Band Cry television anime is in production.

Friday's concert also announced the band's fifth concert at the Pacifico Yokohama venue on February 7, 2025. The staff will hold auditions for the band members and cast members who will appear in the previously announced smartphone game.

Toei Animation describes the anime:

The main character drops out of high school in her second year, and aims at entering a university while working alone in Tokyo. A girl is betrayed by her friends and doesn't know what to do. Another girl is abandoned by her parents, and tries to survive in the city by doing part-time jobs. This world lets us down all the time. Nothing goes as planned. But we want something that we can continue to like. We believe there's a place where we belong. That's why we sing.

The anime's cast members include:

The staff announced in July that cast members Mirei and Natsu are going on a temporary hiatus due to health reasons. The remaining three main cast members — Rina, Yuri, and Syuri — will continue performing.

Kazuo Sakai (Love Live! Sunshine!!, Mushi-Uta) directed the anime at Toei Animation. Jukki Hanada (Love Live! Sunshine!!) handled the series composition. nari Teshima designed the characters. Mari Kondō and Jae Hoon Jung were the CGI directors. Kenji Tamai (agehasprings, Sing "Yesterday" for Me, Samurai Flamenco) composed the music. Yūsuke Tanaka (agehasprings) was credited for music accompaniment.

The anime premiered on April 5 and aired for 13 episodes. Toei Animation released the anime in English digitally in North America on August 13.

Indonesia's Catchplay+ streaming service began streaming the anime on May 31 with both Indonesian and English subtitles, making it the first service anywhere in the world to have English subtitles officially available for the anime. Thai distributor Cartoon Club announced in late June it would begin streaming the anime in July, and the anime will have a Thai dub, making the stream the first announced international dub for the title.
