posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for the Girls Band Cry anime announced with a teaser visual on Tuesday that production on a brand-new film has been green-lit.
Toei Animation describes the anime:
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.
The television anime premiered in April 2024 and aired for 13 episodes. Toei Animation released the anime in English digitally in North America on August 13, 2024. Crunchyroll started streaming the series on November 6.
The anime is already getting a two-film compilation. The first film Seishun Kyо̄sо̄kyoku will premiere on October 3, and the second film Naa, Mirai. will screen on November 14.
Indonesia's Catchplay+ streaming service began streaming the anime on May 31, 2024 with both Indonesian and English subtitles, making it the first service anywhere in the world to have English subtitles officially available for the anime. Thai distributor Cartoon Club announced in late June 2024 it would begin streaming the anime in July, and the anime will have a Thai dub, making the stream the first announced international dub for the title.
The staff announced in July last year that cast members Mirei and Natsu are going on a temporary hiatus due to health reasons. The remaining three main cast members — Rina, Yuri, and Syuri — would continue performing. Mirei and Natsu returned to doing dialogue recording work by April 2025.
