Bocchi the Rock! took over the anime world in 2022, and it is set to return with two films soon. So, here's all you need to know about the Bocchi the Rock! compilation film!

What Will the Bocchi the Rock! Compilation Film Be About?
Since the upcoming 2024 project will be a compilation rather than an entirely new film, we expect it to cover most of the key moments of the existing Bocchi the Rock! anime.
The music anime is based on a manga written and illustrated by Aki Hamaji.
It follows Hitori "Bocchi" Gotoh, a high-school loner who starts learning how to play the guitar.
Hitori's dream is to join a band, but due to her shyness, she has trouble making friends at school.
This all changes when Nijika Ijichi, a drummer on the lookout for a new guitarist for her band, invites Bocchi to join her.
We expect the compilation film to follow Bocchi and the rest of the band in their wholesome musical journey.
Bocchi the Rock! Compilation Film Release Date News and Predictions
Bocchi the Rock!'s compilation film will be split into two parts. The first part is going to be released in Spring 2024, while Part 2 is coming out in Summer 2024. More specific dates have not been announced as of writing.
Do come back later, as we will update this space with the exact release dates when they become available.

Does the Bocchi the Rock! Compilation Film Have a Trailer?
Sadly, the Bocchi the Rock! compilation film doesn't have a trailer yet. We expect a trailer for the film to come out in late 2023 or early 2024.
That being said, the upcoming trailer is unlikely to feature very much in terms of new content.
The Bocchi the Rock! 2024 film is going to reproduce and summarize the anime into a full-length movie, so its plot won't be entirely new.
Where to Watch the Bocchi the Rock! Compilation Film
Bocchi the Rock!'s compilation film will likely come out in movie theaters.
After its original run, it will probably become available on Crunchyroll, where the anime is currently streaming.

Once again, the Bocchi the Rock! compilation film is brought to us by studio CloverWorks.
The anime was produced by Shouta Umehara (The Promised Neverland, My Dress-Up Darling, Wonder Egg Priority) and directed by Keiichirou Saitou (also the director of Frieren).
The main cast will remain the same:
- Yoshino Aoyama (Yoshino Nanase from Wake Up, Girls!) as Hitori Gotoh
- Sayumi Suzushiro (Kei Shirogane from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) as Nijika Ijichi
