The Kessoku Bando ZEPP TOUR 2024 "We will" announced a second season for the Bocchi the Rock! television anime on Saturday. The official website also revealed the main staff, a teaser illustration (pictured) by the new character designer Keito Oda, and a teaser promo.

Yuusuke Yamamoto (Bocchi the Rock! assistant director) is helming the second season at CloverWorks, replacing Keiichirou Saitou (Sousou no Frieren).

Erika Yoshida (Kami no Tou) is returning as the scriptwriter. Keito Oda (Koisuru Asteroid main animator) is joining Kerorira as character designer.

The first season aired in 12 episodes in Fall 2022. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with subtitles. A two-part compilation movie premiered in Japan in June and August last year.

Bocchi the Rock! adapts Aki Hamaji's 4-koma music comedy manga, which began serializing in Manga Time Kirara MAX in December 2017. Houbunsha shipped the seventh volume on October 25. Bocchi the Rock! has a cumulative 3 million copies of its volumes in print, including the anthology.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in April 2023. The fifth volume went on sale last November, with the sixth volume planned for a February 18 release.

@Yubisoft What are you even talking about? There was absolutely no hype for the first season, it was 100% a sleeper hit.

considering they rotoscoped some of Sono Bisque Doll, it'd make sense if we don't get that for another year or so lol

Honestly so glad I was notified by MAL, haven’t watched anime in a long time with the same generic isekai stuff always showing. Hope it does well as equally as the first season…

Sony was more worried about combating piracy and making DEI sjw woke slop, than giving this show a second season, so that's why it took so long.

For how immensely popular the first season was not only in Japan, but around the world, I'm floored it took so long for a second season. But at least we're finally getting more.

Aww it's a shame Keiichirou Saitou isn't directing for s2, presumably because he's busy with Frieren. Suffering from success fr. Still hype though.

I am so glad this got a second season; I haven't been this excited by anime news since 2024. Anyways, WOO!O!O!!O!O!!O!!!! !O!!O!!O!
Bocchi is something special for sure.

Does this mean we'll also get an English dub of S1 soon? I know several people who are interested in Bocchi but don't want to watch subs since they don't watch too much anime.

Am I the only one who kind of has lost interest in this series? I enjoyed the first season but having a 3 year break on a quite good enjoyable series before new season announcement, it kind of makes one lose interest. It'll probably be a year or two until this season start. I might watch this, who knows.

@Softhenic03 Yeah no. The new director said they haven't done anything yet, no arrangements no animation, nothing. He also explicitly said making anime takes a long time. We won't see this before 2026, maybe even Summer/Fall 2026.

@ryzxgum you can tell when the 1000+ show logger stared too hard at the abyss when watching Bocchi, sad it got under your skin like that.

@jesuscristo you don't need to watch 1000+ shows to be able to tell it's overrated, not sure what that has to do with anything anyway. just typical bocchi fans making as minimal sense as usual it seems.

Typical K-ON style boring-moe show, but it got overrated to death because of the herd mentality of the this new weird generation. These people give scores according to instructions of YouTube nerds. So, it's not surprising to see that it has this high of a score. It is only about hype now. Back in 10-15 years ago people would be ecstatic about the batch release of the shows like JoJo part 6 because they can binge watch it, but nowadays these weirdos grieve over it because they can't talk about it weekly on twitter. Anime or other mediums are just reduced to a mere tool for their weird TikTok videos and pseudo friendships.

@ryzxgum I wholeheartedly agree with you; however, it is still not as overrated as One Piece. That is the absolute disaster aside from world building.

@Raiseii not sure what one piece has to do with this thread, the mentally ill seem to be attracted to me today. anyways try bleach, demon slayer, jjk, golden kamui, dorohedoro, vinland post prologue or re;zero if you wanna see an actual disaster. those don't even have worldbuilding going for it, just pure slop for the smooth-brained.

damn the quip went right over your head, a more neurotypical person would have got it was about you spending 1/20 of your life watching anime and feeling a bit too called out by the socially awkward character but I guess it was too much to ask

@jesuscristo 2010 facebook level boomer ''quips'' would be somewhat clever years ago but the world has moved on since then. ironic you say that when the only reason the corny incel/femcel fanbase even enjoys bocchi is because she's so relatable to their loser lifestyles, so the mental gymnastics from you here is hilarious. not much i can do for you unsavable NEETS who think being awkward is a flex, so sad.

@TsukuyomiREKT stop being a sensitive little dumbass coming up with lame excuses and grow up. this isn't about popularity, i've seen shows that are much popular which are way better than that garbage. now either come up with something actually worthwhile or stop wasting my time because not everyone is a pathetic NEET with no life like you.
