| I wasn't sure I'd like this one. We just get so many decent looking music anime that follow a very similar, at this point fairly generic plot... and the synopsis gave all those same signals. I like that it's much more focused on the comedic side. Also really enjoy that it's more energetic than K-On (which was pretty boring by comparison). Jury is still out on this one for me, but so far I'm enjoying it way more than your standard fare for music anime. |
| Ahh, introvert MC. I wish the best of luck for her |

| Direction and animation is really quirky I love it. |
| This is actually so good. Read the manga a bit few years ago so was really looking forward to thisc but this is beyond my expectations. Animation and comedy are spot on. Opening is also lit! |
 |
| I think this series is going to be one hidden gem of this season. It has the mix of K-ON! (My all-time favourite anime series) and Hitoribocchi (Very cute series) with bits of Watamote all mixed in together. The combination of a simple artstyle and smooth animation really makes this series shine. Same goes for the characters as well. Hitori herself is someone that I think most of the users in this discussion thread, myself included, can relate to in certain stages of our lives, due to her issues with social anxiety. It was a good thing that she got scouted out by Nijika and took Hitori to the underground stage as it did a good job in helping Hitori to taking the first steps of breaking out of her shell. All in all, this was a great first episode. I look forward to seeing how Hitori will grow as a character as this series goes on. =) |
| This was nice. The comedy is decent. The premise is interesting. Bocchi is a great guitarist but she ends up not able to play to her whole potential in public. It's just Bocchi chan wa Comyushou desu but with guitarist part added. It was surprising to learn that she's got 30K subs, that's fucking lot. Even her school mates know about her and that's saying something. We didn't get to hear her play properly so we can't really know how good she is but I'm looking forward to see her playing and her making progress in overcoming her social anxiety. The introvertness was portrayed realistically to some extent I think but sometimes it felt it was overdone. The false credits though haha. Those two knowing about her channel has given a huge cofidence boost for sure. This can be nice. I legit thought that was her older brother or something. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Love it so far. Show looks really great, just as I was hoping after seeing the PV. I was thinking I'd have to sit through 10 minutes of another boring loner character intro, but there's a lot of great jokes and I instantly liked her character. I wasn't much a fan of the other Bocchi from a few years ago. The main thing I'm hoping for is good chemistry between the 4 members, I think that's what's going to be the difference between this being good vs. amazing. Even her posture is just like me! |
| This is so cute, the art and character design is great, the comedy is actually funny and just getting the beautiful Hitoribocchi vibes... What's there NOT to love?! Opening and Ending fits and will definitely repeat it! |

| I'm not usually much for CGDCT, but this is looking great so far. Shows based on 4-koma manga tend to have a good rhythm to their comedic moments, and that was definitely the case here. The music sounds decent too and the ED visuals were adorable. |

| Pretty crazy to think 2 of the top 5 shows this season are CGDCT slice of life. We’re eating so good this season man. Clover works really might have something special here. The girls are great, the comedy hits and the art as usual is superb. Really feels like a modern K-On which is the highest praise you can put on a music show |
 |
| i'm calling it! this might be a hidden gem!!! 5/5. OMG VA Aoyama, Yoshino totally nailed it for voicing Gotou, Hitori!!! |

| even the box she was hiding in got destroyed. lol the "forgive my arrogance" also made me laugh so hard. ok, this is acceptable. One more cgdct from this new season, fill my fun for these kind of shows. looking forward to next week. |
| Honesty I know it’s just one episode but damn much better start then I expected,MC is amazing (relatable reminds me of my past self) comedy actually good and ngl I kinda like more and more stuff by CloverWorks they go hard this last few seasons Did we finally got something as or nearly good as the goat(K-on!)? I’m so hyped for this might be my favorite anime of this season I rewatched it already…it’s so good I’m so happy |

| One of my most anticipated shows of the seasons. First episode was a blast, I really have a soft spot on CGDCT animes. First episode was hillarious, the fake ending on the middle got me off gouard. For a spilt second it made me think that the episode ended. |
 |
| I read the first chapter of the manga when this show was announced, and I loved it. I decided to read any further and just wait for the anime. It was totally worth it! So much fun... |
| Have I found my favourite from the season? |
| How can I not love this show ? GuitarHeor Reference, Death Metal Song in Anime ? Perfect anime music for myself finally |
 |
| Not the fake out credit scenes T-T Lmfao, I always make that joke as well. I think this is going to be good |

| Loved every second of this episode lmaooo |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Pretty nice elements put into the show, very adorable and interesting. Bocchi's a fun MC alongside her friends which will bring us a beautiful adventure. |

| So Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu mixed with K-ON! SIGN ME IN!!!! |
 |
| Undoubtedly my favourite premiere I've seen so far this season. The comedic timing is great, but more than that Hitori is great and aspects of her introversion are incredibly relatable: I've definitely had moments where I've tried to indirectly encourage social interaction rather than taking the lead myself (as she did with the CDs on her desk, taking her guitar to school etc.) and I've also had moments where I've wanted something to happen but almost backed out of it in panic when it was actually going to happen. This made it very easy for me to empathise with Hitori and her struggles, particularly her moments of near self-sabotage due to her introversion: it's a different portrayal of introversion to what I've usually seen in anime, and perhaps the most realistic so far. And seeing her new bandmates support or at least undertand it was very heartwarming and much better than the usual dynamic of "we must help the introvert become an extrovert" that so many shows like this go for. I've got a real good feeling about this one, that's for sure. |
| I've been waiting for this anime ever since the first teaser dropped and I'm happy to say it's really fucking good. It seems like CloverWorks is putting a lot of effort in this one with fluid animation, unique camera angles, and the usual dull tone I'm used to seeing from them. Jokes are funny and I got a good laugh out of them. This really feels like Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu meets K-On, but with slightly more cheerful setting and I love it. Great first episode, definitely going to keep on watching. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| first impression of this anime is AWESOME !!! heartwarming and so lovely to watch .. |
| MC is too relatable, i felt personally attacked. but she stops being relatable when she starts making friends, hhahhaha :'') but fr i'm already feeling good vibes from this anime, i know i'm gonna enjoy it. this first episode was an absolute banger |
  placeholder text |
| She's very vocal for someone who "doesn't talk". |
 |
| It's no K-on but I still loved every minute of it |
| First half of this episode felt so relatable it actually hurt me wtf? Great premiere. Really liked the execution and comedy. Also Bocchi is beyond adorable. By the way, I also thought that was Bocchi's brother lol. |
| This is going to be the hidden gem this season, mark my words. Also, damn CloverWorks always makes some great animation but the backgrounds this time are amazing. Love this show already |
| The comedy is done right, characters are cool, K-ON! successor. |
| I like everything, ok |
| Not saying anything everyone else hasn't all ready, but I love all the characters and reaction faces. This is the most pleasant surprise since Kongming. Maybe music and comedy is just a great mix. |
| I'm a bit disappointed. It's pretty mediocre and the jokes are not funny (and I don't think I will ever find it funny). Now I won't drop it but I just hope it will get better Also I don't like Hitori, I think she is too awkward to be funny or interesting |
