About Show By Rock!! Short!!

Show By Rock!! Short!! (SHOW BY ROCK!! しょ～と!!) blends comedy, music and slice of life by bones (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: A short anime of Show By Rock!! Metropolis of music, MIDICITY.

Along the way, a kitty girl wearing gothic lolita clothing named Cyan is scouted by Maple Arisugawa, the president of a music agency. From there, she meets 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.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Manami Numakura as Retoree and Ayane Sakura as Moa. 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.
