| Telecaster on the cover, they seem to have good taste. I'm looking forward to it. |
 |
| People now want a slice of that Bocchi pie. LoL |
 |
| sounds a lot like "Girls Band Party" lol but it would be nice if we got something else other than rock bands. jazz would be nice, orchestra too |

I can't stand it when original shows are basically just another genre show without manga or LN.People now want a slice of that Bocchi pie.

Swagernator said: Well, when was it different? As soon as you get some undeniable hit, next year at least a third of the studios try to repeat your success, if not with the same plot, then at least with the same genre and setting. Think of the wave of dark maho shoujo after Madoka or the current dark fantasy shonen trend after JJK and Fire Force.Piromysl said: Yep, and we the audience gonna watch it crumble.People now want a slice of that Bocchi pie.

| That title and visual is giving me more "Beck" vibes than Bocchi. I'm more concerned about it being a Toei project, if anything. Can't say I'm a huge fan of their originals from my experience, lol. |
| Another music anime, eh? I hope it won't be just a clone of Bocci, but something original and fresh enough to be considered as a fully separate show. But to be fair, I don't think I will watch it myself. xD |
| I suppose I'd like to think that this was already an idea before Bocchi The Rock became a big thing, at least then it would seem somewhat more inspired. Although be that as it may, a girls band anime, isn't exactly the most creative setting. I guess I'll just have to wait for more information to come out, to see what this will be like. |

| I do understand the concern of some of the other commenters regarding the potential for Girls Band Cry to be just another clone of Bocchi The Rock. It's important for original shows to bring something new to the table and not rely solely on the success of similar shows in the same genre. |

| Why are so many people concerned about this being a "Bocchi clone"? It would be the first one we'd get anyway, considering Girls Forming a Band isn't a new idea at all in anime. It'd need both that and the social anxiety approach to call it a Bocchi clone and we really don't have any info on this yet. Is this trying to cash in on Bocchi's success? Well, it's Toei Animation, so the answer is probably "most likely", but they can still take a different approach. Hopefully. |
| Bocchi clone, I suppose. |
 |
| Bocchi is becoming the next K-ON in terms of its success day by day!!! |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| more anime for racists to latch on |
 |
| People already calling out Bocchi after this announcement lol kinda like how people used to do that when Bocchi came to light and compare it to K-On! History repeats itself I guess, I will looking forward and maybe it can became a big success too |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| There should just be a 2nd season of Shine Post made instead of this crap. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Music anime is always a welcome! |
| I hope this more of a Beck kind of anime than that cheap K-on clone from 2 seasons ago |

| I guess we're gonna be getting a lot of these now, but there are worse trends to chase. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Been done. Twice. Badly. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| The era of girls band anime is here? |
