The Girls Band Cry anime has released a new trailer ahead of its premiere on April 5. The series is an original anime project from Toei Animation.
Kazuo Sakai is directing the anime, with Kenji Tamai composing the music, and Nari is doing the character designs. The cast includes Rina as Nina Iseri, Yuri as Momoka Kawaragi, Mirei as Subaru Awa, Natsu as Tomo Ebizuka, and Syuri as Rupa.
The Girls Band Cry anime was first announced in April of last year, with two music videos for the project released later in May. They were titled “Nameless Name” and “No Rhyme No Reason” respectively. Other released singles include “White Drizzle in Gloom,” “Ideal Paradox,” and “Bleeding Hearts.”
The official YouTube channel for the anime project describes its plot as:
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.
