Show-By-Rock!!

Sanrio has announced its anime adaptation of the smartphone game Show By Rock!! . The anime will air in late-night time slots starting in 2015. More information will be announced during Monday's Niconico broadcast. The anime will be Sanrio's first anime.

Sanrio describes the story of the original game on its website: Metropolis, MIDICITY. A girl wearing gothic lolita clothes named Cyan is noticed by Arisugawa, the president of a music agency. Little does she know that she's in for a long journey into the world of bands alongside her friends Chuchu, Moa, and Retoree.

The company began distributing the Geeks-developed game for iOS and Android in 2012. The game is free, but there are in-game items that can be purchased.

The anime was announced with a promotional video:
