The original "Girls Band Cry" anime, produced in 3D, centers around protagonist Nina Iseri, a high school dropout who moves to Tokyo to work and study for university. One day, she encounters Momoka Kawaragi singing in front of a station, and the power of music instantly draws her in.
Together, they form the all-girl band "TOGENASHI TOGEARI" with Subaru Awa, who hides her emotions; Tomo Ebizuka, abandoned by her parents; and Rupa, a girl always on her own. These five individuals, each with their unique backgrounds, hope to find their place in the world through music.
This announcement has certainly taken many fans by surprise. After all, it's no easy feat for an original band anime to make it to the big screen, a true testament to the series' immense popularity.
