Music-themed anime Bocchi the Rock has released the preview for episode 5 of the series. With Bocchi finishing the lyrics in the previous episode, it’s now time for the band to perform a live concert. Before that though, the Kessoku band has to audition first. Will they be able to pass the audition? The fifth episode airs on Saturday, November 5.
The TV anime Bocchi the Rock (stylized as Bocchi the Rock!) is adapted from a 4-Koma manga by Aki Hamaji. Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Max is serializing the manga since 2017 and has currently 4 volumes in circulation. Studio CloverWorks is producing the anime with Keichiro Saito as director. Erika Yoshida is overseeing the series composition, Kikuya Tomoki is composing the music, and Kerorira acts as the chief animation director and character designer.
Bocchi the Rock is available to watch on Crunchyroll and they describe it as:
Hitori Gotoh, “Bocchi-chan,” is a girl who’s so introverted and shy around people that she’d always start her conversations with “Ah…” During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself. After becoming a skilled guitar player, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar to the internet under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her school’s cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any bandmates, before she knew it, she was in high school and still wasn’t able to make a single friend! She was really close to becoming a shut-in, but one day, Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in Kessoku Band, reached out to her. And because of that, her everyday life started to change little by little…
