Big in Japan!

Girls Band Cry Blu-ray / DVD volume #1 sold 12226 copies in its first week, which is considered very strong: https://x.com/Nakayasee/status/1808071005291552898 (For comparison, girl music anime superstar "Bocchi The Rock" sold 16700 discs of its first volume during the first week.) 78.131.76.107 (talk) 20:45, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Random Twitter/X accounts cannot be used a source. That being said, of you have a better source that says the series is performing well, it would definitely be helpful for the article. Link20XX (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Garukura's sales are now over 22,000 disc boxes with data coming from animation studio Toei itself:

Source? --Goroth (talk) 17:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GBC is currently available in Japan, France, South Korea, Indonesia (bi-lingual subs, including official english) and Thailand (both subbed and dubbed, first foreign dub). In North America it's available subbed on Amazon, in Microsoft Store and Fandango at Home for non-streaming type digital rent / purchase. Hoopla also has it "free as in beer" for those who hold a library card. CR-style streaming is not yet available for unknown reasons, contributing to GBC's obscurity outside of Japan. 188.143.6.249 (talk) 20:26, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews with Jukki Hanada

I found a multi-part interview with Jukki Hanada about the series in Japanese about the series. In one interview he talks about the backgrounds of the main characters for example. (Part 1 Part 2 Part 3) Maybe, these interviews are useful. --Goroth (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there is a smartphone game in production. (Link) --Goroth (talk) 17:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this could be used to expand the development section and add sources to the characters section. The main thing is not to overuse this so that it does not actually become the main source of the whole article. Solaire the knight (talk) 19:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nina Croft: Rock Raider

"Girls Band Cry" crew recently participated in a CGI-themed symposium organized by AutoDesk, where they disclosed the anime's main character Iseri Nina was rendered using a 200,000 polygon model: https://x.com/ts_kobaya/status/1847502075053428827

(For comparison, the recent reboot of Tomb Raider uses 30,000 polygons to render Lara Croft, though those are computed on-the-fly during gameplay versus pre-rendered for anime production.) 188.143.6.249 (talk) 20:37, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
