About Show By Rock!!

Show By Rock!! (ＳＨＯＷ ＢＹ ＲＯＣＫ!!) blends comedy, fantasy and music by bones (2015). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. 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.

More of the story: From there, she crosses paths with Chuchu (a pun off of the sound that rabbits make) the honor learner 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 realm. However, the path there is long and tough, and keeping in high spirits is important.

As a comedy title, 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. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

bones is the studio behind Show By Rock!!, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. 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. Voice casting, including Manami Numakura as Retoree, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2015, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
