Bocchi The Rock! Recap Part 1 and 2 comes to North American theaters this October

Bocchi The Rock! fans in North America will be able to catch the Bocchi The Rock! Recap Part 1 and 2 compilation film next month.

Announced today, the subbed film will hit theaters in North America on October 6 for a three-day run. The film will also make its way to theaters in the U.K. on October 7, France on October 15, and Australia on October 17.

For this special film, a new ending theme from Kessoku Band titled “Ima, Boku, Underground Kara” (“Now, I’m going from underground”) has been added along with new animation for the opening sequence.

A synopsis for the compilation film reads:

Based on the 2024 Anime Award-winning music series BOCCHI THE ROCK!, the compilation film follows an introverted, shy girl on her inspirational music journey as she struggles to overcome social barriers and find her place. It tells the story of young rocker Hitori Gotoh, also known as "Bocchi-chan," a middle schooler struggling with social anxiety. Amid her silence and solitude, she picks up a guitar and discovers that she is talented, but despite spending hours practicing and uploading popular videos of herself performing, her dreams of joining a band and making friends never materialize. The thought of reaching out to strangers makes her nervous, and instead, the awkward Hitori isolates herself even more, accepting her fate of solitude. Until one day, she meets Nijika Ijichi, the drummer for Kessoku Band, who encourages her to change her tune and helps her overcome her deep social anxiety!

Bocchi The Rock! is available to stream on Crunchyroll right now. Read our reviews of previous episodes here.
