Synopsis

Yearning to make friends and perform live with a band, lonely and socially anxious Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou devotes her time to playing the guitar. On a fateful day, Bocchi meets the outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join Kessoku Band when their guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, flees before their first show. Soon after, Bocchi meets her final bandmate—the cool bassist Ryou Yamada.

Although their first performance together is subpar, the girls feel empowered by their shared love for music, and they are soon rejoined by Kita. Finding happiness in performing, Bocchi and her bandmates put their hearts into improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days.

I Don't know how this anime got rating so high almost 9/10, but for me it is too overated and kinda mid instead, the music and the graphic was ok not so great and bad either ive seen worse but other than that is straight to mid 5/10.

This is an AMAZING anime. They absolutely naild it in all areas.

The music is fantastic, many plying moments in the series are realistic, the songs are actually good and are made with the actual instruments portaied visually

They must have made some partnerships because you can actually see the marshall logo and the gibson logo on the ...
