The news of a second season of the anime Bocchi the Rock came as a pleasant surprise to fans, but the path to this announcement was filled with uncertainty.
- Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 Announced
- Crunchyroll Ignored Dandadan: What to Expect From This Decision?
In a recent statement, producer Shouta Umehara revealed that initially there were no plans to continue the series. It was the massive support from the audience and the dedication of the team that turned this dream into reality.
We hadn't planned a second season, but the affection and support from everyone who followed the series motivated us to move forward. I am immensely grateful to the members of the Kessoku Band, Aniplex, and all the collaborators who made this possible. This support inspired me to recommit and give my best.
The producer also recalled relaxed and challenging moments during production. At a party celebrating the release of the compilation films, the director and part of the team seemed uninterested in the future of the franchise. However, the situation became so unusual that editor Takuya Sekoguchi , after a few too many drinks, ended up falling asleep at the venue.
At that moment, we joked about continuing the story with another studio. I wondered if it would be worth dedicating my life to this project
Despite the doubts, the second season of Bocchi the Rock is confirmed and will be directed by Yusuke Yamamoto, who previously served as assistant director and directed some episodes of the first season, replacing Keiichiro Saito. Umehara concluded his message with a special thank you to the fans and the team: "This was only possible thanks to you. Thank you for believing in us!".
