Metropolis of music, MIDICITY. A kitty girl wearing gothic lolita clothing named Cyan is scouted by Maple Arisugawa, the president of a music agency. From there, she meets Chuchu (a pun off of the sound that rabbits make) the honor student rabbit girl, a net geek dog girl named Retoree (from "Retriever"), and an alien sheep (?) girl named Moa. Together, they form the band named "Plasmagica," and aim for the top of the world.
However, the path there is long and tough, and keeping in high spirits is important. By battling against other strange bands, Plasmagica slowly grows toward a top-grade band. In the end, they'll be a band that becomes the driving force of MIDICITY's music industry... Maybe?
Gonna be a music millionaire!

Where it came from
Show By Rock!! was produced by the animation studio Bones and released in 2015 as the first Sanrio franchise specifically aimed at an older demographic. The series originated as a mobile rhythm game, and the anime adaptation served to expand the world-building of the game’s band-based premise. By moving away from Sanrio’s traditional character-goods focus toward a narrative-driven television format, the project sought to bridge the gap between multimedia character branding and the aesthetic of contemporary Japanese idol and music anime.
The character designs were overseen by Sanrio’s creative teams to blend the company’s signature 'chibi' mascot style with more complex, human-like anime characterizations. The visual aesthetic utilized a mix of 2D character animation and 3D musical performance sequences, a choice intended to capture the energy of high-octane rock performances. Upon its release, the series was well-received for its unique visual juxtaposition, eventually leading to a multi-season run and significant growth in the brand's merchandising portfolio.
