“Put all your anger, joy and sadness into it.”
The main character is a high school second-year student who has dropped out of school and is now in Tokyo on her own, aiming to get into university. A girl who’s been betrayed by her friends and doesn’t know what to do. A girl who’s been abandoned by her parents and is scraping by in the big city working part-time. This world always betrays us. Nothing goes the way we want it to. But we want to love something. We believe there’s a place for us. That’s why we sing.
A TV anime series produced by Toei Animation that features a real band. The story follows five girls with their own problems who form the rock band “Togenashi Togeari” and confront the absurdity of the world as they search for their own place in it.
The setting is Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, a diverse city where people, things and events coexist, mix and fuse to create a unique form. By using a real location as the setting, the story reflects the atmosphere of the times and the city itself.
The visual expression is a full CG animation that uses the world’s most advanced illustrative look and full-frame. By reproducing the illustrations of the character designs by nari teshima in the animation as they are, and by achieving a high-definition expression with a greater amount of information than normal 3DCG animation processing, the charm and emotions of the characters, the musicality of the music, and the powerful and dynamic performance scenes have received high praise overseas.
