Does it have a chance to become the next Bocchi the Rock?
Summary:
Girls Band Cry started airing.
Episode 1 is much better than expected.
The anime is not available on any streaming service.
Girls Band Cry is an original music anime from Toei Animation. Episode 1 aired on April 6, 2024, so the first impressions are already here.
The series follows Nina, who drops out of high school and moves to Tokyo. The big city is overwhelming, but Nina is eager to make it her new home. She meets the talented Momoka, who’s a guitar player, and it seems that this encounter will change both girls’ lives.
First Episode Is Better Than Expected
If we’re being honest, Girls Band Cry looked rather generic when it was first teased, but Episode 1 makes it feel interesting. Both Nina and Momoka are very likable straight from the beginning, their chemistry is instant and undeniable.
There are more girls on the poster and in the trailer for the series, so we expect more compelling characters to appear later in the story. But even if we have to follow just Nina and Momoka for some time, it’s not an issue.
One of the main concerns was the 3D style of the Girls Band Cry animation. Fans are used to 2D anime with occasional CGI, but this series is not like that. However, the anime looks much better than expected, and viewers admit that 3D elements didn’t bother them at all.
On the contrary, the 3D style made the series stand out and provided a couple of interesting visuals, such as Nina’s reaction to hearing Momoka’s music for the first time.
The vibe of the series is another thing fans loved. It’s difficult to say whether we’re going to experience some serious drama later in the story or not, but for now Girls Band Cry is rather wholesome. And it gets bonus points for a couple of hilarious but dorky jokes.
No Streaming?
The most upsetting thing about the anime, though, is that no service is streaming it. Viewers are forced to watch Girls Band Cry illegally, and they’re not happy about it.
It’s not just that they can’t support the series officially, it’s also a matter of popularity. If the series isn’t on any of the streaming services, its chances of being talked about are rather low.
The anime is already doing quite well on MyAnimeList (7.59/10) and people are eagerly discussing it on various social media, but it might not be enough. That’s why there’s great hope that the situation will change and Girls Band Cry will appear on at least one of the streaming services.
