The Girls Band Cry TV anime series debuted in Japan in April 2024 and aired for 13 total episodes. A new anime film project was announced last month.
The series was streamed on France’s Animation Digital Network and South Korea’s Aniplus, and later became available in Indonesia via the CATCHPLAY+ streaming platform and North America via several digital release platforms.
