RobertBobert said: general mainstream audience of anime are teenagers and young people so any show that gains mainstream popularity would have a large amount of young audience. this excuse can be given about any popular show. and the people who replied to your comment and their anime numbers literally prove that your point is too generalized. i personally don't think bocchi is revolutionary .it just does its job perfectly. people can like different stuff. your statement is like saying only men like gundam because they are the vocal ones although according to surveys and reports it has always had a huge female fanbase.It does not interfere. The Bocchi discussion threads are still full of people with a registration date no later than 2020. |
| Kinda weird to care about the age of people watching a show that you haven't even seen yet, but ok. Like why do you give a fuck? It literally doesn't matter. Saying only teenagers enjoy it isn't even accurate to begin with. |
 |
| It doesn't force cuteness(like k-on). It doesn't try to seem deeper than it is(like Aria), yet it is painfully relatable and somewhat serious in unserious tone. Also production is great and characters are not annoying archetypes with no development. I've watch tons of stuff like this, yet it's the first time I want to rewatch it instantly in years. Bocchi just really makes me feel stuff. |

But do you really think that 1-2 people who have signed up for a long time somehow disprove the fact that in general the show is mainly popular among teenagers and young anime fans?

Then you have shows like is the order a rabbit where they're all like rainbow-colored giant toddlers. I definitely never got any try hard vibes from Aria. In fact, it's the polar opposite. Aria is the definition of easy going. You just don't get it. Watamote is is the definition of painfully relatable. Oregairu is too, sometimes. The mains chars of those shows are despised by the anime community at large because it hits too close to home. Bocchi is child's play in comparison. Also about Bocchi not having any annoying stereotypes. What about the drunk lady? Is she not annoying? Is she not the same ridiculous parody of what it's like to be drunk that pretty much every anime with a drunk person has? |

(also why do people think something being relatable makes it better) >characters are not annoying archetypes Bocchi is literally pillar of a character with annoying archetype. Everyone would've hated her if it wasn't for that direction and animation. |

| It is based. What can we say... |
 |
| Yeah, just finished, only really found Ryo to be a standout. I don't think the show does much special in its story at all honestly. |
 |
| This show is great because it is a CGDCT that is actually funny. And the sweet cherry on top is that it puts K-On fans in their place. K-On was never good, and now that we get an amazing CGDCT like Bocchi, people are finally starting to wake up. |

| i mean some of the comedy is decent or even great from time to time but 9 episodes in i feel like it's a far cry from K-On! or Zombieland Saga. It's really quite boring mostly right now. K-On! actually moved my feelings and Zombieland Saga was more entertaining. Hell, even Do It Yourself was more exciting than this so far. Two full length movies worth of content (at 9 episodes) and only 2 songs played. I was interested at first but the wind is quickly being sucked away from my sails. |

| As someone who thought it was just slightly above average at first, but now I'm rewatching it and loving it: the execution makes all the difference in the world; the writing isn't groundbreaking but good enough to be a solid foundation (for example, I prefer CGDCT focusing on activities like camping, fishing or building a music band from scratch over lazy girls loafing around all day). Style vs substance, how important are they? My answer is: personal enjoyment tips the scale towards one or the other, depending on the case. I still don't think it excels at comedy or music (otherwise it would have been one of my all time favorites), but it excels at being a CGDCT and that's enough to be among my top 10 anime of 2022. |

Vludi said: KryzakamiHrybami said: Nah you're in the wrong if you think comedy and character development should be mutually exclusive, dark comedy and tragicomedy can be a great basis for good characters. Bocchi's breakdowns are amped for expressiveness and laughs, but the reasoning behind these are on-point and develop on social anxiety quite well. Aren't the people who say it's relatable the ones who are more likely to take the show seriously? There must be something that they take seriously if they feel it' relatable to them.

Vludi said: KryzakamiHrybami said: Read again then. You complained that Bocchi is too "exaggerated" to be relatable, yet these elements never really hurt her as a character nor her being relatable. They may even be a good thing because the amped expressivity makes her easier to understand, without neglecting her core character traits. You guys taking everything so seriously and literally is the only thing that's wrong here.I think you quoted the wrong person. I have no idea what you're talking about. Dude what are you on? The portrayal of social anxiety is too exaggerated to relate to, not Bocchi's expressivity. People are saying they relate to this as an introvert, not for the expression Bocchi makes. This show is not only about Bocchi gazing to the void while people have fun around here. The part around social anxiety is what makes it wrong to relate to since it's portraying an introvert nightmare as something beneficial for Bocchi. |
epidemia78 said: good luck finding a CGDCT anime that is not also SOL and comedy. It's not as if finding these three elements working in concert is so rare. And the music sure as hell isn't something I will ever be adding to a playlist. Right right. Oh wait, who are you? And why anyone in here including me should give 2 shits on what YOU would put in a playlist? If you were someone with a rep in the music industry you'd have some sort of credibility, but you're no better than the common instagram/twitter hipster that would diss on others for not listening to their poser music. This isn't some sort of proper rebutal, it's the most basic and nothing burger kind of child pettyness for the minimal attention on the internet. epidemia78 said: I'm glad you mentioned dishes. Because Bocchi is like a vanilla cake with elaborate designs on it. The designs sure are nice to look at but cakes are made to be eaten and at the end of the day, it's just a damn vanilla cake. Vanilla is the most sold flavor in pretty much any kind of desserts. Why is that? simply because it's the most acceptable flavor people like to degust. Your whole rant is based on nothing more than expecting a flavor that's not vanilla. vanilla can also be quite amazing and outstanding with right dressing, it doesn't have to be some hipster mix of exotic flavors just a small group of people need to think as the king of flavor. epidemia78 said: Well for one thing the personalities of K-On's cast are much better developed. Bocchi seems to me a very shallow character and her band-mates are even worse off since Bocchi gets the majority of the screentime. K-On manages to flesh out the entire band plus their club advisor in the same number of episodes. That's 5 main characters plus a very important supporting cast member compared to Bocchi's 4 main cast. If were taking just the first season of K-ON!! as a benchmark, the characters aren't really that fleshed out. They are very much just walking archtypes, Yui being a moeblob dojiko, Ritsu being the group prankster, Mio the moe-wh*re, Tsumugi the out of touch rich girl and Asuza the nagging girl. Heck you're claiming that even Sawa was fleshed out when she's the walking stereotype of a xmas cake used for the bottom of the barrel weebs to oogle on her. It takes 2 whole season to actually get more out of their basic traits and ambitions and even then characters like Tsumugi just fill in as supporting characters not actual lead ones that make the story move forward. Back to Bocchi the Rock! the show is called Bocchi the Rock! (just making the obvious statement that someone like you couldn't figure out) Obviously Bocchi is going to have way more pressence than the rest of the cast because it's her story and her comedical struggles in life. Even then characters like Nijika have a really strong role in the series pulling out Bocchi out of her comfort zone. Kita goes the whole 11 yards for Bocchi too and just like Nijika they have their personal purpouses in the story. Ryo is probably the weakest one acting as a the "tsukomi" character, but that's just fine because the other ones fill in surplus on their roles. epidemia78 said: Drama? In Bocchi? Nah... that's my main complaint with the show is lack of drama. I expected more sadness from a show about a socially anxious teen. Bocchi is 90% comedy. Episode 13 of K-On has more drama than the entirety of Bocchi. Not to mention episode 11 when Ritsu, jealous of Mio finding a new friend, starts behaving obnoxiously trying to be the center of attention. Ritsu is a AAA character. Nobody in Bocchi the Rock has that level of nuance. Nuance is the new "hipster" word for people that want to make their personal stuff look like they are something avobe the rest but it's quite the opposite and it's just blent in not to be noticed and not to be something that pops out. I'm quite confused since your past rants are about Bocchi the rock being vanilla, but you're basically praising Ritsu's very basic human actions exactly for being vanilla. The drama in Bocchi the Rock doesn't need to be some crybait show, I even think you have a very wrong misconception about drama as a whole if you think that tears are supposed to be incorporated in it. Bocchi's drama is incorporated in their performances, the vexing sensation when the group is underperforming in their first live due to a small audience that barely made it thru the typhoon is a really well crafted setup for her to come out of her comfort zone and shred her guitar to inspire the rest of her band and get them out of their funk. Same for her perfomance in the cultural festival concert when on of her strings poped out. Great drama is defined by how the characters come out of a dire situation of their regular lives, not by cheap tears or pouty jealousy acts. epidemia78 said: Watamote is is the definition of painfully relatable. Oregairu is too, sometimes. The mains chars of those shows are despised by the anime community at large because it hits too close to home. Bocchi is child's play in comparison. This isn't some sort of "pissing contest". The second hand embarrasment parts of coming of age stories doesn't have to be portrayed on screen with a checklist, everyone can have their own you know "flavor". Heck, most of Hachman's screwups are about telling the audience not to be like Hachiman rather than make it relatable. Kinda similar with Tomoko in Watamote too. Bocchi mixes quite well the "cringe" with really out of the box comedy and great use of different art media without the necessity to "preach" to the audience like Oregairu does. |
KimurahJan 9, 2023 9:26 AM
| @Kimurah I wish you had quoted me properly to make it easier to remind myself what my out of context comments were in response to exactly. Anyway I admit I was intentionally being just a bit abrasive in an effort to bait replies. It started getting annoying, seeing all the "bocchi is a masterpiece" commentary after the show failed to life up to the hype. But you are pretty late to the party and I'm kinda over it now. Since you put so much effort into your post the least I could do is reply, I guess. Kimurah said: Right right. Oh wait, who are you? And why anyone in here including me should give 2 shits on what YOU would put in a playlist? If you were someone with a rep in the music industry you'd have some sort of credibility lol, I didn't know I had to be a corporate music exec to be allowed to have an opinion on music... Bocchi's music isn't terrible or anything. It's just... uninteresting. It's not a selling point. it neither detracts nor does it add to my enjoyment of the show. If bocchi music started playing right now I probably wouldn't even recognize it. I refuse to pretend like I care about it and no I won't waste a single kilobyte of hard drive space adding it to my anime music folder. Sorry! Kimurah said: If were taking just the first season of K-ON!! as a benchmark, the characters aren't really that fleshed out. I'm not too sure about this. After rewatching it so many times, when it comes to the overall impression I have of the characters, it's basically impossible at this point for me to isolate K-On season 1 from 2. Although I do remember, back when I first watched K-On, being impressed at how much they were able to do in only 12 episodes. I actually hold the genre in high regard because of that. The keions (and the casts of many other less popular 12 episode SOL) feel like old friends. Bocchi feels like barely an acquaintance. Bocchi failed to live up to that standard and I can't pretend that it does. Kimurah said: Nuance is the new "hipster" word for people that want to make their personal stuff look like they are something avobe the rest but it's quite the opposite and it's just blent in not to be noticed and not to be something that pops out. I'm quite confused since your past rants are about Bocchi the rock being vanilla, but you're basically praising Ritsu's very basic human actions exactly for being vanilla. Nuance is a hipster word, huh? Well I do wear a weird hat and have a big ass curly mustache but that's beside the point. I just can't think of any other way to describe it. It's always bugged me that Ritsu always loses best girl votes when she is actually the most human one of the bunch. She doesn't get the respect she deserves because her personality traits aren't super exaggerated. Much like how people always say Nagisa from Clannad has no personality. Anime fans apparently suck at noticing subtlety. Kimurah said: drama doesn't need to be crybait I never said it does. When I said the show lacks sadness I don't mean tragic plot twists. It would have went a long way towards making Bocchi an endearing character if she ever seemed sad about her situation in life. But since everyone around her is always so nice and supportive so it's not like she has any reason to be sad. Kimurah said: This isn't some sort of "pissing contest". The second hand embarrasment parts of coming of age stories doesn't have to be portrayed on screen with a checklist, everyone can have their own you know "flavor". Yep. everyone has their own flavor. Bocchi, the most relatable character to ever exist? Bocchi, that incredibly talented, super cute high school kid who has a ton of friends and a popular youtube channel...? Yeah...I can't relate. Tomoko and Hachiman on the other hand? ...It hurts to even think about. |

I'm not sure how someone who has social anxiety is something to be used for comedic purposes. Every time the topic of something related to youth/high school/friendship Bocchi starts to have a meltdown and starts drifting to her own world which is used for comedy. I'm sure as hell not amused by it, and many others as well, her reactions are way to exaggerated, and you mean to tell me that you can't even talk to your own parents? This just goes on to another level of stupid and absurd. Her own parents also don't help much at all, trying to communicate with their own child, her friends make fun of her when she can't handle a specific situation, how is this supposed to be funny? I had a friend like Bocchi, but we never laughed at him for being an introvert and having a hard time talking to people. If you like it good for you, but I and many other people just didn't like it, way to exaggerated and unfunny. Someone said it perfectly, the anime ended, in a couple of seasons it won't be even remembered and it will fade into obscurity like 95% of anime. |

You’re not supposed to take it that seriously and I’m sure even people with social issues know that having breakdowns in public is something they should try to avoid, probably from personal experience. The show is relatable in the sense that some people have the same social hangups and mindset about the world as Bocchi does. It’s not supposed to be sone introvert guide book on how to act in real life lol. I'm not sure how someone who has social anxiety is something to be used for comedic purposes. Every time the topic of something related to youth/high school/friendship Bocchi starts to have a meltdown and starts drifting to her own world which is used for comedy. I'm sure as hell not amused by it, and many others as well, her reactions are way to exaggerated, and you mean to tell me that you can't even talk to your own parents? This just goes on to another level of stupid and absurd.
