A new PV trailer has been released for the original TV anime series Girls Band Cry, featuring all five main members of the band. The anime is scheduled to premiere in Japan on April 5, 2024.
The Girls Band Cry original anime project was first announced in April 2023. Before the anime series’ announcement, a number of animated music videos and singles were released.
Kazuo Sakai (Love Live! Sunshine!!) is directing the anime series, with Nari Teshima (VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei‘s character designer) as character designer, Jaehoon Jung as CG director, and Jukki Hanada (The Dangers in My Heart, Love Love! Superstar!!) as series screenwriter. Toei Animation is handling the animation production.
Meanwhile, the main voice cast of the Togenashi Togeari band includes:
- • Rina as vocalist Nina Iseri
- • Yuuri as guitarist Momoka Kawaragi
- • Mirei as drummer Subaru Awa
- • Nagito as keyboardist Tomo Ebizuka
- • Shuuri as bassist Rupa
Toei Animation describes the main synopsis of the series 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.
