What’s Girls Band Cry About?
Sick and tired of feeling like she doesn’t fit in and isn’t meant for a life in the countryside, Nina Iseri, a high school dropout, decides to move to Tokyo. But her first day there doesn’t go as planned, as she finds herself locked out of her apartment. Yet luck is on her side, as this inconvenience leads her to meet her favorite guitarist, Momoka Kawaragi. The two hit it off and put on a street-side performance. Feeling the magic of their impromptu performance, the two decide to start a band with three other girls. As the five of them face their struggles, their love for music propels them forward.
The Girls Band Cry anime is also getting a theatrical release over 2 movies, as well as a mobile game.
