The GIRLS BAND CRY anime was voted as the best original show of the Spring 2024 season, despite not getting much love in terms of English releases worldwide. Toei Animation handled the animation, with the show dominating the original category. To be fair, there weren’t many competitors, but it still took 30.25% of the votes, with Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night sitting in second place with 26.92%.
In addition, the anime also won the award for Best Slice of Life.
Kazuo Sakai directed the anime, with Kenji Tamai as the music composer and Nari as the character designs. The cast included Rina as Nina Iseri, Yuri as Momoka Kawaragi, Mirei as Subaru Awa, Natsu as Tomo Ebizuka, and Syuri as Rupa.
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.
