Another cute girl appears! Sotca is adorable imo. I like her little ninja gimmick to her character.

Bocchi got somewhat nervous around her but understandable. I find their character chemistry oddly cute.

How many friends will she have? According to premise, she should make friends with the whole class, including the rest of the girls and boys, but as far as I understand, in the manga and especially in the anime, her social circle is limited to only 4-5 female friends.

The character development is phenomenal this time. Bocchi turns into Jiraiya just in 4 episodes.

Now Nako has three dorks around, must be fun to be her

That is, the story focuses on them, not because they are her only friends, but because they are her most close friends?

Funny episode and it introduced one of my favorite tropes. "Master student" relationships are always hilarious.

I like the animation in this, far from the best i have seen but its still very smooth appealing charming and warm,and the ambrosial vibrant colors pops very nicely

And the foreign girl are now a part of the group. It is enjoyable to see Bocchi seeking her friends protection. And love to see that they lift her up helps and enable her to befriend Sotca

The physical interaction between my girls have definitely improved , that also pleases me. And to see that Bocchi clings on to Nako tells me that she is safe with her and trust her. Their relationship have evolved and they are now tighter then-ever before. Elements like this creates an immersive experience witch appeases me and are very delightful to say the least

This is anime has been quite a little conundrum.It wasn't something i have great hopes for in the beginning, i never thought it would be congenial to my taste. But it proved me wrong. For me this is best Seasonal spring anime 2019

I give it 10/10 the score may change if it starts to behaving like doltish fool in the future,,,,

For now they are her only firends, but even when she'll get more friends the story will still focus more on these 4

Well, it is obvious that the manga will not touch any romantic stories with the boys or show how Bochi will become alpha in class, I just wondered if there were new characters in the manga after the main cast.

This anime is so cute and relaxing, Hitori's way to avoid stressfull interactions are funny and I can see why someone would mistake them for being ninja arts. I expect more funny interactions now that Sotoka is here.


What is that weird naming of Sotoka Rakita, WTH????

Fun episode! Looks like the next friend is introduced. Seems to be quite obsessed with ninjas.. I thought there were only samurai in Japan.
I loved it when Bocchi responded to her in english, she was so frightened and confused lol. Bocchi’s facial expressions are so cute and funny. I have a feeling Sotca is gonna pick up Bocchi lots of times in the future. Also Aru is a great ninja teacher!

I hope not.

I've seen a lot of shows where the kid characters don't feel like children but this show nails it. All three of them have their own distinct personalities but at the same time have this childish sense of logic to everything they do. Really cute episode, just like the previous one.

Those corny "beam"Aru made actually made me laugh.

Another friend in a ninja obsessed Sotoka, well good for Hitori although she likes to pick her up a lot and it's really funny. I bet she was influenced by Naruto to come to Japan.

This is by far the worst episode of the four we've got. Every time Sotoka and Bocchi interacted from the paper shuriken scene onward made it very hard to get through to the end, it just gives me a really bad gut feeling watching them.

I know it's played for laughs and that (hopefully) they'll move on to a true friendship, but please let it happen soon.

Not so keen on the master-apprentice friendship going on between Sotoka and Bocchi, but I did laugh at Sotoka's reason for moving to Japan.

Still, Bocchi is cute as usual. Another wholesome episode overall.

Sotoka's obsession with ninjas is something to be respected for, especially since that's the main reason why she moved to Japan. However, mistaking Bocchi as a ninja was amusing, though. Bocchi's engrish responses of "No" and "Sorry" was incredibly cute. =3

Still, having Sotoka becoming Bocchi's apprentice as a ninja did give her a chance to get to know Bocchi better, although she gets excited easily as she picked Bocchi up, which knocked her unconscious in the process. Funny stuff.

While this episode doesn't beat the one from last week, it was still great. There was still many good moments as well as funny ones, like with Aru's stupid, yet funny beam attacks. =3

Another cute episode, got a new character named Sotoka, not really that much into her antics but I just love Bocchi passing out everytime Sotoka carries her.

Bocchi's VA makes her so freaking adorable, the character itself is already dangerously cute and her VA takes her cute levels to 3000 (if you know what I mean)

I knew Bocchi was small but... this puny!?


Honshou's the 2nd most fun character here, them beams and that plastic bag scene was gold.

Bocchi likes to make friends with girls bigger than her.
This time she get's casually lifted with ease. :D

So the group now is one very shy person, a fake delinquent, an unfortunate person, and a foreigner obsessed with ninjas. Bocchi gathered some interesting people.

I wonder what that other girl is that she has not yet befriended?

looking forward to next week

I'm really liking this Show it's such a calm, sweet take on the CGDCT genre with the social anxiety elements.
This is definitely a keeper for the Spring season.

Aww too shy to say good morning.

LOL that scream to the blonde!

NO! NO! Bocchi what are you doing!? You don't say sorry! In English! To a foreigner! When she can speak Japanese!

Sotoka likes Ninjas...

Hahaha Bocchi is such a baby!

Well at least it wasn't the Naruto run...

Sotoka talking about how ninjas can move without standing out and how they are helpful to others, and Bocchi saying that she wants to help Sotoka is pretty sweet.

I also took the time to watch the ending animation after Sotoka's introduction. It looks good...

I think she is just short compared to them all, and the production staff made it consistent from the start of series.

Well tbh they need to buff Hitori at least a bit taller in my opinion.
