Bocchi the Rock garnered fans worldwide when its anime debuted in 2022. CloverWorks’ adaptation did justice to Aki Hamaji’s slice-of-life manga, gaining praise for its characters, comedy, and relatable depiction of social anxiety. The first season ended its successful run last December 2022, leaving fans longing for Bocchi The Rock: Season 2.
Season 1 only featured around 20 chapters of the manga, which means there are over 50 chapters left to adapt. And with the manga still ongoing, that number is continuously rising, waiting to be animated. Will you see more of Bocchi and the Kessoku Band? Here’s everything you should know about Bocchi the Rock: Season 2.
When Is Bocchi The Rock: Season 2 Being Released?
Sadly, Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 has no official release date. It’s also unconfirmed if Bocchi the Rock will return for Season 2. Despite its success, it’s not clear why Bocchi the Rock hasn’t been renewed yet. Some assume CloverWorks is too busy with other projects, while some think they’re still waiting for more manga content.
Nonetheless, you can expect Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 to come sooner or later. Bocchi the Rock was considered one of fall 2022’s top anime, earning Anime of the Year and winning other categories in the Anime Trending 2022 Awards. Though at this rate, you might not see Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 until 2024 or 2025.
What Is Bocchi The Rock: Season 2 About?
Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 will pick up where the first season left off. With Hitori getting a new guitar, her time as the band’s guitarist and lyricist is far from over. However, Season 2 will deal with her online persona as “guitarhero” being exposed. It’ll also feature her band aiming to appear in a rock festival called Mikakunin Riot.
Season 2 will also introduce a lot of new characters and bands. One band that’ll make their debut is SIDEROS, if you don’t count their brief cameo in Season 1. You’ll soon get to know their leader, Yoyoko Ohtsuki, who considers Kessoku as her rival band.
Which Studio Is Making Bocchi The Rock: Season 2?
Assuming there’ll be no changes, then CloverWorks will animate Bocchi the Rock: Season 2. You might know them from other popular anime like Spy x Family, Horimiya, and The Promised Neverland. Nevertheless, a studio change might not be out of the question if they’re too busy.
CloverWorks is currently working on multiple titles like Black Butler, The Elusive Samurai, and Wind Breaker. Not to mention their upcoming releases with Spy x Family’s second season and movie. Unless they fit it into their schedules, CloverWorks might hand over Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 to another studio.
Where Will Bocchi The Rock: Season 2 Be Aired?
Bocchi the Rock: Season 2 will likely be available on Crunchyroll and Netflix, just like its first season. You can also stream Season 1 on AppleTV+ or get a VPN if it’s unavailable in your region.
