Bocchi The Rock! is getting the movie treatment next year.

Announced at Sunday’s Kessoku Band Live: Kousei event, the 12-episode anime series will be edited down to a special movie compilation slated for a spring 2024 release in theaters in Japan.

A synopsis for the Bocchi The Rock! anime, which was released last fall, reads:

Hitori Gotoh, “Bocchi-chan,” is a girl who’s so introverted and shy around people that she’d always start her conversations with “Ah...”
During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself.
After becoming a skilled guitar player, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar to the internet under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her school’s cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any bandmates, before she knew it, she was in high school and still wasn’t able to make a single friend!
She was really close to becoming a shut-in, but one day, Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in Kessoku Band, reached out to her. And because of that, her everyday life started to change little by little...

Earlier this year, Bocchi The Rock!'s Kessoku Band earned a Gold album in Japan for their self-titled debut album. Bocchi The Rock! is available to stream on Crunchyroll right now. Read our reviews of previous episodes here.
