de cierto modo me gusta que hagan este tipo de proyecto ya que se sale de lo q son las series de isekai ,los del personaje absurdamente roto y el romcom que tarda mil años en un beso,
pero que lo haga toei animation es casi como si fuera para intentar recrear lo que paso con bocchi the rock

Been done. Twice. Badly.

I guess we're gonna be getting a lot of these now, but there are worse trends to chase.

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.

That's what I thought, too! If it gives me the Beck vibe, I'm sure going to be invested.

I hope this more of a Beck kind of anime than that cheap K-on clone from 2 seasons ago

Music anime is always a welcome!

There should just be a 2nd season of Shine Post made instead of this crap.

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

more anime for racists to latch on

Every girl band anime is a K-On! clone.
There said it.

Toei tried their hand at making their own Bocchi the Rock... Looking forward to it.

Bocchi is becoming the next K-ON in terms of its success day by day!!!

Apr 24, 2023 6:08 AM by Hitagi__Furude

Bocchi clone, I suppose.

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.

I'm not surprised cute girl music shows are almost always profitable.

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.

apparently this isn't an attempt to ride the Bocchi wave, it was planned since 2021

It reminded me of the early 10s when people called every new show SAO or AoT clones, because those were the most popular adventure anime at the time.

Welp, this sounds really stupid.

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.
