The musical isekai adventure Show By Rock!! is now streaming on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series follows Cyan Hijirikawa, a shy guitarist who is whisked away into Midi City, a world where music reigns supreme and bands battle for control. Produced by the renowned Studio Bones, known for hits like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and My Hero Academia, this 12-episode series offers a vibrant, music-filled journey.
Show By Rock!! plunges Cyan into a world of anthropomorphic musicians and rival bands, where she must form her own group to combat an encroaching darkness threatening Midi City. The show leans heavily into its music theme, featuring original songs and energetic performances, alongside a healthy dose of comedy and fantasy elements. Its connection to the Sanrio brand ensures a unique aesthetic, blending cute character designs with rock and roll energy.
While this first season serves as an introduction to the world and its characters, it's the start of a larger franchise that includes sequels and spin-offs. With a MAL score of 7.04, it offers a fun, if somewhat lighthearted, entry into the music anime genre, perfect for fans of ensemble casts and fantastical settings.
