Summary
From production studio CloverWorks comes the anime adaptation of Bocchi The Rock!, initially created by Aki Hamaji. Hitori Goto, aka Bocchi-chan, is a loner with a love of music - so much so she wants to learn the guitar and one day hopefully join a band. Despite her self-deprecating personality, one day, she places a video of her playing guitar online - which catches the eyes and ears of a drummer, Nijika Ijichi. Nijika invites Hitori to join her "Kessoku Band" and accepts despite her fear of social interaction. Hitori will learn to overcome her fear of public audiences and strive to become a fantastic guitarist and an even greater team member for her new band. Bocchi the Rock! airs exclusively on Crunchyroll and premiered on October 8 2022.
