We fans still remember how Bocchi the Rock! turned a shy, anxious girl into one of the most loved music anime leads in recent years. The mix of awkward comedy, real band struggles, and strong insert songs made the series explode. Even now, people still replay the cultural festival performance and talk about live moment.

Bocchi the Rock Season 1 ran for 12 episodes from October 8, 2022, to December 24, 2022 Since then, the big question has stayed the same. What is happening with Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 release date?

Is Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 Officially Confirmed?

Yes. Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 is officially confirmed.

The production decision was announced on February 15, 2025, during the Kessoku Band TOUR “We will B” event. The official site released a confirmation post the same day, along with a teaser video and the main staff list. CloverWorks is returning, Yusuke Yamamoto is directing, and Erika Yoshida is handling series composition. That makes everything clear and set, Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 is in production.

When Is the Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 Release Date?

There is no official Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 release date yet.

The February 15, 2025, announcement confirmed production but did not include a broadcast season, month, or year. Since then, no official update has added a premiere window.

As of now, Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 is confirmed, but the air date is unannounced. Based on the current timeline, a late 2026 release is a possibility, while a 2027 release sounds more realistic. But this is just an estimation.

How Did Bocchi the Rock! Season 1 End?

Season 1 ended with Episode 12, titled “Kimi ni Asa ga Furu.”

Episode 11 focused on Shuka High’s cultural festival and Kessoku Band’s upcoming live. Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada, and Ikuyo Kita prepared for the show while trying to locate Bocchi. Episode 12 then moved fully to the stage performance.

During the concert, the band performed “Wasurete Yaranai” and “Seiza ni Naretara,” both released as Episode 12 insert songs. Midway through the set, Bocchi’s guitar malfunctioned when her strings and tuning failed. Kita stepped in to cover the gap until Bocchi managed to recover and continue the performance.

After the live, Bocchi attempted a crowd dive inspired by Kikuri Hiroi and ended up injuring herself, waking up later in the nurse’s office. At home, she apologised to her father for damaging the guitar and learned that her “guitarhero” account had been monetised, leaving her with 300,000 yen.

The season closed with Bocchi visiting a music store with Nijika, Ryo, and Kita to buy a new guitar. Episode 12 ended with Kessoku Band’s cover of “Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu,” marking the end of Season 1 without a cliffhanger.

What Story Will Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 Adapt?

Season 1 adapted the manga up to Volume 2, which covers Chapters 14 to 25 and ends with the cultural festival arc. That means the next starting point is Volume 3, beginning from Chapter 26.

Volume 3 (Chapters 26 to 38) introduces the Unidentified Riot teen music festival. Kessoku Band aims to compete for recognition and prize money. This will be more than school events and will be focused on the core music scene.

Volume 4 (Chapters 39 to 50) continues the same arc. The band clears the first audition round but then faces an online popularity vote.

So the most likely adaptation path for Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 is Volumes 3 and 4, covering the full Unidentified Riot storyline, with Volume 5 as a possible extension if the episode count allows it.

Where Can You Watch Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 After Release?

There is no official streaming confirmation yet for Bocchi the Rock! Season 2.

For viewers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia, Crunchyroll is the strongest expectation. The platform streamed the full first season and handled the overseas rollout of the recap films.

Until an official partner list is announced, Crunchyroll remains the safest platform prediction for international fans.
