About Show By Rock!!

Meet Show By Rock!! (ＳＨＯＷ ＢＹ ＲＯＣＫ!!), a comedy, fantasy and music anime by bones (2015). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: Metropolis of music, MIDICITY. A kitty girl wearing gothic lolita clothing named Cyan is scouted by Maple Arisugawa, the president of a music agency.

Next up: From there, she crosses paths with Chuchu (a pun off of the sound that rabbits make) the honor pupil rabbit girl, a net geek dog girl named Retoree (from "Retriever"), and an alien sheep (?) girl named Moa. Together, they form the band named "Plasmagica," and aim for the top of the world. However, the path there is long and tough, and keeping in high spirits is important.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Retoree (Manami Numakura) and Moa (Ayane Sakura) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by bones, so the studio's house style defines how Show By Rock!! looks and moves on screen. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 6.7/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Manami Numakura voicing Retoree gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2015, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
