Bocchi the Rock! has debuted its first compilation film, Bocchi the Rock! Re-, and it's already really successful. Not only did it top the Japanese Box Office in its opening weekend, but with an opening weekend of over 210 million yen, it had one of the largest openings for a compilation film—something made much more remarkable given the scant to nonexistent new footage.
A great success even at the box office, Bocchi the Rock! is more evidence that it merits a second season. Almost two years have passed without any indication of Bocchi the Rock! getting a second season, notwithstanding how successful it has been with both fans and critics alike. Though there are most likely some outside elements involved, overall Bocchi the Rock! has been successful. Re: indicates that Bocchi the Rock! will merely become more and more popular, so the Anime getting a Second Season is more justified than before.
The news of Bocchi the Rock! having a second season is really fantastic. First of all, given the degree of popularity it has shown, a hypothetical second season would most likely feature an even more outstanding lineup of animators than what season 1 had, so Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 could have even better animation than season 1. The visuals of Season 1 were already praised, hence if a second season could surpass them, it would rank among the best-looking Anime ever produced.
More than that, of course, is the narrative a possible Second Season would chronicle. Along with broadening the ensemble, the arc in the manga that follows where the anime ends significantly develops the key characters both collectively and personally. In many respects, everything past where Bocchi the Rock! season 1 ended is when the story really comes to life; watching it play out in animation would be nothing but fantastic; considering the size of Success the Bocchi the Rock! film was experiencing, that day hopefully won't be too long off.
Though strange as it may appear that Bocchi the Rock! has not had a second season, it is not difficult to understand why that would be the case. First of all, because the manga hadn't really taken off in popularity at that time, it was impossible to know the anime would become a smash when it first aired. As popular as Bocchi the Rock! ended up being was also unknown. Between the popularity of the anime and the first compilation movie, nevertheless, Bocchi the Rock seems only as a big hit, so a second season seems much more realistic.
Still another likely factor is the direction of the anime, Keiichiro Saito. Keiichiro Saito notably oversaw Frieren: Beyond Journey's End from 2023 to 2024, and given the animation of Bocchi the Rock! was one of its most appealing features, CloverWorks most likely did not want to approve Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 while Keiichiro Saito was focused on other projects. Though Frieren: Beyond Journey's End concluded some time ago, Keiichiro Saito should be available for major projects once more—with any luck, that would include season 2 of Bocchi the Rock!
Even at the Box Office, Bocchi the Rock! is a huge hit that provides more evidence it merits a second season. Almost two years have passed without any indication of a second season, despite how popular Bocchi the Rock! has been with both fans and reviewers alike. Though there are most likely some outside elements involved, overall Bocchi the Rock! has been Successful.
