Bocchi the Rock Recap Movies Head to North America Theaters

Crunchyroll announced more people will be able to see the Bocchi the Rock Cloverworks anime series on a bigger screen, as the two recap movies are heading to North American theaters. There’s no release window for Bocchi the Rock: Theater Compilation Re: or Bocchi the Rock! Theater Compilation Re:Re: yet. However, Crunchyroll did note it will offer new insights at Anime Expo 2024 alongside other announcements.

There are no dates or further details about when they’ll appear. However, part of this could be due to the fact that these Bocchi the Rock movies that cover what happened in the anime haven’t aired in Japan yet. These summarize the events of the series, with the first part launching on June 7, 2024. Presumably, that covers Hitori Gotoh finally getting to join Kessoku Band. The second part, which debuts in Japan on August 9, 2024, will likely go over more of her journey with bandmates Nijika Ijichi, Ikuyo Kita, and Ryo Yamada.

For an idea of how that will look, here’s the trailer from when the anime adaptation launched.
