The release date for rock anime Bocchi the Rock! has been announced today.

The show will debut in Japan on October 8. To celebrate the announcement, a new trailer has been revealed, which can be seen below. Bocchi the Rock! will be directed by Keiichirō Saitō (Sonny Boy) with a script written by Erika Yoshida (Tower of God). Tomoki Kikuya (The Comic Artist and His Assistants) will be taking care of the music.

A synopsis for the anime reads:

Hitori Gotou is a high school girl who's starting to learn to play the guitar because she dreams of being in a band, but she's so shy that she hasn't made a single friend. However, her dream might come true after she meets Nijika Ijichi, a girl who plays drums and is looking for a new guitarist for her band.

Bocchi the Rock! is featured as one of our highly anticipated anime series to catch this fall. The anime is based on the Aki Hamaji's manga series of the same name.
