| I don't remember when it was the last time I had rewatched a scene at least ten times but their second performance made me me do that. There was a moment when they showed Bocchis's two young fans looking at her with their eyes full of anticipation and disappointment after the first song and somehow I felt that that was what really triggered Bocchi unconsciously and brought out the best of her. Her inner monologue was only there to lead the viewer by hand through her diffuse emotions shown through images. |
夏草や 兵どもが 夢の跡  |
| Damn that performance was one of the best twists from playing a more or so lighthearted song that afterward translated to truly bring the spirit of the Kessoku band. They had a party and lol the gibber ish that Bocchi thought of Kita to be able to achieve since she's the minister of this Instagram program going on and her aura never fails to amuse me. Also the scene where Bocchi's thought on going through highschool and having a career was such a pressure after two men having a conversation where one of their wife is cheating just by her fashion style lol but I relate to Bocchi when it comes to thoughts of transferring in jobs and such because of the increase in difficulties and the rarity of the boss to merely destroy one's career, it gotta hurt for some who have deal with it. Nijika is the only one who knows that Bocchi is guitarhero once they had a talk outside and her discovering the way Bocchi plays her guitar, I wonder how the others will know. |
| This anime is peak fiction, the music, characters - all S tier |
| What a wonderful episode! I loved that despite the typhoon Kikuri and the two girls who saw her at the street concert attended the concert. Also, it was awesome when after the first song Bocchi started playing the guitar and the others started shortly after, I loved that part, it was super exciting. And of course, the episode was full of funny moments and I loved seeing Kita acting a bit weird in the same way as Bocchi. Finally, Nijita and Bocchi's conversation was emotive and especially funny when she calls Bocchi "Bocchi the Rock!" and also before that when she discovers that she is guitarhero. I'm looking forward to the next episodes, I'm in love with this anime. |
 |
| Yup! This is the episode that pushed me over to give this show an 8. Absolutely deserved. The episode contained unexpected moments, inspirational moving pieces, consistent endearing chemistry between the characters, and the usual trademark of Hitori's out-of-this-world eccentric anxieties and displayed so well throughout. Only a few more episodes and I'm confident this is the anime of the year. No doubt. Forget Kaguya or any other shows that came before, honestly. |
| NIJIKA IS EVERYTHING TO ME |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Bocchi the EPIC, this is definitely the best anime of the year and no one can compete with it! uwu |
 |
| laughing so hard at "I got tired". lol 10 audience is not bad. All 10 were pleased, they will come back and might even bring friends. Nijika dream is a nice dream. Bocchi can fill up Starry easily, if she tell her fans online that she perform there. Just have to get more confidence. looking forward to next week! :) |
| Kikuchi gives me Nazuna Nanakusa vibes! Whenever I repeat an episode after watching it, it's special. This episode is one of them. |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Damn, this episode was actually great! Which has me a bit worried. This gives some serious "peak episode" vibes. The kind of episode you'd like to end the season with, but we still have another 4 episodes left. Could this possibly get better? I don't know. I'll just keep my expectations at 0 and enjoy the ride while it lasts. |
| my favorite part was when bocchi said "it's bocchin' time," one of the hardest lines in anime history |
| "Do you believe in gravity?" |
| Awesome episode this week. Really strong in the character development too. I love to see their growth, wholesome stuff. Also nice to see the girls (At least Nijika) learn Hitori was "guitarhero" all along. |
| my heart melted! the way bicchi chan played the guitar wowed me so much =.= |
| Everything about that was just perfect. The performance and Nijika’s conversation with Bocchi was so uplifting. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| AH! AH! She said it! SHE SAID IT! Did Nijika become the most sympathetic character in this show? Also I wanna go to one of Kikuri's concerts so bad. "I will always treasure the memory of you stepping on my face" |
 |
| They said it! Title drop! Lmao |
| I'm glad that Nijika said the title drop right at the end. In a way, episodes with the series title within them tend to be great ones. In Bocchi The Rock's case, this was one of the best episodes this entire season so far. =) As expected, mother nature's unwanted welcome did prevent half of the original audience from being able to turn up, but all the more reason the praise those who were able to battle the horrible elements of the weather in getting to the Starry Sky venue. Sadly, the girls didn't do a great job during the first song, with the timing and rhythm being off-beat and the pressure certainly getting the better of all of them. Thankfully, Hitori chose that time to throw caution to the wind and went off into a solo play which perfectly transitioned into the second song, which had restored the band's timing and harmony. Once again, the production values during the songs looked very impressive. To celebrate a good success overall, everyone went to a nearby bar to celebrate, where Hitori make a good Ashita No Joe reference which never fails to make me chuckle. The other best part of this episode was Hitori's talk with Nijika outside the bar, where Nijika not only figured out that Hitori was Guitar Hero, but she also opened up her past and how she got into music and what her sister had to sacrifice in order to own the Starry Sky venue in the first place. Twice in this episode, Nijika's smile easily succeeds in melting my heart. ^_^ I can't wait to see what the band does next! |
| 93% 5/5 RATINGS WTH LET'S GO LMAOO ong tho this episode went ridiculous and I'm glad this show actually reached the audience it deserved you already know shii finna go down on the episode that shares a name with the show title episode 7 wasn't very substantial overall but that really paved the way and softened the tone for the greater impact today's performance would give which the fumbling on the guitar loneliness and blue planet performance really helped highlight as we all expected real shit went down today, from bocchi's shredding to a nice sentimental moment w nijika today I can say the chills were real as per every major step bocchi takes shoutouts to bocchi's fans from the ep6 street performance and the drunkard bassist, they were the real mvps today ngl seeing some action w her and seika too, gotta love their dynamic prolly gotta be the best anime episode this entire season I'm gonna keep it real w you all this show grew tremendously over the past month and I'm so glad people are actually witnessing the gem of the slice of life genre when done right why did she say this tho 😭😭😭  |
| This episode is amazing that solo Hitori made to kick the band back into shape was godly, those credits scared me a bit but I can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The performance part is so amazing!!! It made me cried a little, also we get to know how the band place originated. |
 |
| man this anime really is something special |
  ┌─❈❇❈─┐  └─❈❇❈─┘ |
| BOCCHI THE ROCK!!! YEAH!!! Bocchi chan rocked the show in the beginning and straight went to life simulations the next. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| That episode was stellar! I have very little knowledge about music and I can tell their first performance isn't that good if not bad. Bocchi acting as the 'kessoku' band for other members. It's very touching how the drunk bassist and two girls from previous episode come to watch in the midst of a typhoon when Bocchi's parents can't. Really shows the dedication. This might actually just be anime of the year. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| This episode was definitely a banger. I wonder how the final few episodes will turn out. |
