The dates for the upcoming limited U.S. screenings of CloverWorks’ newest anime film, Bocchi the Rock Recap Parts 1 & 2, have been officially confirmed by Crunchyroll. Based on the critically renowned coming-of-age music anime series Bocchi the Rock! by author and illustrator Aki Hamaji.
When is the Bocchi the Rock Recap release date?
After having its Japanese premiere earlier this year, Bocchi the Rock! Recap Parts 1 and 2 will make its limited three-day run debut on Sunday, October 6 in a few U.S. theaters. The movie will also make its international premieres in three additional nations that month: Australia on October 17, France on October 15, and the United Kingdom on October 7.
Erika Yoshida wrote the screenplay for the film Bocchi the Rock! Recap, which is produced by CloverWorks and directed by Keiichiro Saito. An entirely new animation aspect is included in this cinematic experience that masterfully unites the entirety of season one, which was once slated to be two distinct films. Along with a new theme song by Kessoku Band, “Ima, Boku, Underground Kara/ Now, I’m going from underground,” the compilation film will also feature a new animation for its opening sequence.
Synopsis
The compilation film follows an introverted, shy girl on her inspirational music journey as she struggles to overcome social barriers and find her place. It tells the story of young rocker Hitori Gotoh, also known as ‘Bocchi-chan,’ a middle schooler struggling with social anxiety. Amid her silence and solitude, she picks up a guitar and discovers that she is talented, but despite spending hours practicing and uploading popular videos of herself performing, her dreams of joining a band and making friends never materialize. The thought of reaching out to strangers makes her nervous, and instead, the awkward Hitori isolates herself even more, accepting her fate of solitude. Until one day, she meets Nijika Ijichi, the drummer for Kessoku Band, who encourages her to change her tune and helps her overcome her deep social anxiety!
