Hold onto your flannel, music and anime fans, because something epic is hitting the screen! A brand new animated series, based on the viral manga sensation "The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All," is about to drop, and it’s bringing some serious rock and roll power with it.

Picture this: Nirvana, the grunge legends themselves, are set to be a major part of this anime phenomenon. Their raw, energetic track "Breed" is confirmed as the opening theme! This isn’t just some background music; we’re talking about an anthem kicking off every episode of what’s sure to be a massively popular show.

You heard right, none other than rock icon Dave Grohl has weighed in on this groundbreaking news, and his take is guaranteed to give you chills. The Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer believes that Kurt Cobain, the late, great visionary of grunge, would have absolutely adored "The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All." That’s high praise from someone who knew Cobain's artistic spirit better than almost anyone.
