A story
of youth marked by disenchantment and music
Toei
Animation describes this story as the journey of five girls who, between
betrayals, abandonment and loneliness, seek to make their way in the city
through music:
The
protagonist drops out of high school in her sophomore year and struggles to get
into college while working alone in Tokyo. Another girl is betrayed by her
friends and doesn't know what to do. One more has been abandoned by her parents
and survives on part-time jobs. The world always disappoints us. Nothing goes
as we expect. But still, we want to find something that we can continue to
love. We believe that there is a place where we belong. That's why we sing.
From
television to cinema and temporary reorganization in the cast
The series
Girls Band Cry originally aired between April and June 2024,
with a total of 13 episodes. Its English version was released
digitally in North America on August 13, and Crunchyroll began
streaming it on November 6.
In July
last year, it was announced that actresses Mirei and Natsu would
go on a temporary hiatus for health reasons. For their
part, RINA, Yuri and Syuri will continue with their
promotional activities and presentations as part of the project.
