What Is Girls Band Cry About?

The narrative in Girls Band Cry revolves around Nina Iseri, who relocates to the city following her decision to leave high school. Her path crosses with Momoka Kawaragi, leading to a blossoming friendship. Over time, they join forces to establish a band, bringing on more members along the way. Despite encountering numerous challenges, their determination remains unwavering as they channel their feelings through music.

Tadashi Hirayama was tasked with developing a musical-themed series. He collaborated with Jukki Hanada, who opted to craft an all-female narrative given his past experience in idol stories. Hirayama aimed to create a realistic series that would shed light on the struggles of coping with loss. The casting process for this anime started in 2021 and took over a year to secure the talented cast members.

In December 2023, Girls Band Cry debuted their first music video. A second promotional clip followed in February 2024, revealing that the show would air on April 4, 2024. Over its 13-episode run, it garnered generally favorable feedback from viewers.

Girls Band Cry is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
