Finally, Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures have officially announced that the two compilation films of the popular anime “Bocchi the Rock!” will arrive in theaters in Mexico. However, the announcement has been received with discontent on social networks, since The films will only be available one day, Tuesday, October 1 (which is not available in Mexico, due to the presidential transition). This has led many fans to express frustration as they find it virtually impossible to attend the limited screenings scheduled during the day.

Furthermore, the statement does not mention anything about the projection in the rest of Latin America, which has generated even more criticism. After an investigation, it has been confirmed that the film will be available in less than ten theaters throughout the country.greatly reducing opportunities for fans to enjoy it on the big screen.

The comments on social networks have not been long in coming, highlighting the general discontent:

  • «A single show, a single cinema and a small room. I'm going to watch it, but it really offends me.».
  • «I can't believe the stupid thing they just did; Not only did they leave the rest of Latin America behind, as always, but they will also screen it in only five theaters throughout the country. The series is not niche, it literally sold out almost all of its tickets before they made the announcement!».
  • «In good spirits, it's not about bringing her by force either, eh? They are giving notice less than a week before the premiere».
  • «Seriously, thank you for letting us know three days in advance, when it will only be there for one day and in only three theaters in the country. For that, it would be better if they had not brought anything. Then they complain that anime movies are not profitable, when the biggest problem is that they don't know how to distribute them».
  • «How nice, Crunchyroll. And what about the rest of Latin America?».
  • «Wow, now they are doing their nonsense with something that is popular and is a product very loved by the community. If they continue with these nonsense, they better release it directly to streaming and stop making a fool of themselves, when it is clear that they only do it by contract.».
  • «Seriously, hire someone who works with cinemas already. This vacancy has been open for a long time and no one has arrived. It is a complete nonsense that one of the most popular anime of recent years does not deserve more than a single day, thanks to Sony and its hoarding of licenses».
  • «I'm not a fan of the series, but it seems ridiculous to me that they make this type of distribution by only listing one day, one country, and ignoring the other countries in Latin America. Considering that this series has been very popular, it is an insult to anime consumers».
  • «How are we going to know which theaters are going to show it in? Not only is it one day, but we also have to guess the cinemas when there are four days left for the screenings of ONE day».
  • «Is there somewhere we can express our discontent, or do we have to make do? It is not the first time and the truth is there are many affected».
  • «Don't talk nonsense, what about just one day and on a Tuesday? Do they think everyone can go that day? Also, there are no more tickets. pure nonsense».
  • «Some cinemas, one show and one day. Didn't they find a way to make it worse?».
  • «The truth is, if you're not going to make an effort with distribution, don't buy licenses like crazy and let another distributor take over. Advertising less than a week for single-day functions makes them look bad to the consumer.».
  • «The betrayal. One would hope that the magnitude of “Bocchi” would have more weight, but I see that it does not. Sad because it doesn't come to Durango and, furthermore, it's only one day».
  • «Leave the movies in the hands of those who know about distribution! Again, just one day».
