I wish the director was put on some more well know anime before now but honestly this might do it.

This is his directorial debut, isn't it? Honestly, it's becoming quite the big ticket into the industry acclaim. Most directors can only dream of their debut being as strong as this.

Being in a band costs money.
Seika has a cute side to her too (she can't sleep without her stuffed animal)
In order to play live the girls have to pass an audition.
Bocchi is really good, but only when she plays by herself.
Brooo sick live scene. Love the camera angles.

Another hilarious and great episode as always.

That performance was great. Especially Bocchi's guitar. The fact that she was able to show at least part of her true skills and that everyone (except Kita-chan) noticed it made me get goosebumps. I hope they find out soon that she's actually guitarhero~ Can't wait for that moment ^^

Nice episode, it's starting to become more a band, and Bocchi-chan making some progress, although as expected with baby steps, like getting totally flustered about the 5th ticket she'd have to sell for the first concert, and misinterpreting the manager's attempt to give her some confidence by being friendly.

What a cute episode! Seeing the gang play a song together almost made me tear up :') everyone sounded great and Bocchi's playing was impressive. The shot from the tip of Bocchi's guitar was so creative and almost felt like a real music video. Rip the 1st paycheck and also everyone looked cute with "boy" styled hair hehe. The scene with the sister saying "I see you" was funny

As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"

I really enjoyed the animation when Bocchi tears into that solo intro in ep. 8 - the artwork is on point and her solo was interesting. This is not K-ON - this is music on the edge, and I hope they can keep it going past 12 episodes.

So much more than a comedy series! I'm officially invested in Bocchi the Rock! And now the great rating is starting to make a lot more sense. Gonna try to catch up to the current airing ep.

Very heartwarming episode. The girls are starting to act like a proper band!

Love the shades of seriousness they threw in too, like Nijika going after Bocchi to give her the talk. This band is her dream and she can't let others have second thoughts about it. Bocchi's finally realised all the things she's acomplished in such a short time and that made me happy.

Man, Bocchi went from 0 to 100 for me in just a few episodes. Hope they don't lose steam by the end.

You know ...

... its hard with shows like these. You see, the whole gig, the whole identity of this anime is Bocchi being an alien incapable of any sort of basic social interaction, and sequential funny gag moments we can make out of it. And thats it, thats the whole thing. And you can't possibly have Bocchi getting more socially brave, cause you'll lose the whole point of the show.

Dude, for Christ Sake, it took them five episodes to show us them actually playing a song, in this supposedly music anime, lol.

To be honest, people can't just overcome their social anxiety by being told to do so.

DAM! This anime is good. The animation in this episode too!

Manager-san's truly a tsun-tsun-tsundere & the interactions with Hitori are hilarious.

I wonder when her "guitarhero" identity gets revealed though. I feel we're close.

Everything was awesome, but Kita's singin style is huge miscast imho. Her speech voice doesn't look like her singin voice at all, like two different people. She sing like a mature rock women, not like a little mahoushoujo. That voice doesn't fit the character at all. Same about Mio in K-ON. Kita's singing should be like Yui's i think. Maybe I'll get used to.
Anyway, great song and great episode, i get a ton of fun watching it.
