Swagernator said: I agree! The drunk might be my favorite besides Kitaaa~In todays episode our dear heroine Bocchi learned the most important thing that makes band, a band. Alcohol. |
Unexpected and hilarious. I almost spit out my coffee. |
| I'm no Weeaboo I'm Katsura |
And here's expectable Slow Loop reference. Now they're even. |
 |
| So many references in this episode lol. My favourite being the Slow Loop reference. Also got to see more of Hiroi who straight up punched a hole in the wall lmao. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| I'm loving kita more and more, she did it for bocchi sake. I'm sure kita wants to everybody to know bocchi. |
| Bocchi's dreams are really something magical while dozing off in the class, but she's dozing off for an good reason. The school is doing an cultural festival and Bocchi doesn't even realize that she filled in a form and collapses on the ground, now being in the nurses office. Kita is coming by to support her but Bocchi doesn't feel it because of the forum being there, while Kita leaves Bocchi decides to throw away the forum. Bocchi for the first time having a normal convo with the manager, nice. The manager is stelling Ryo and Nijika that she filled an forum for the band to perform at the school festival. Kita being Kita submitted the forum and Bocchi went into hyper mode again and she ended up in the graves casket, rip Bocchi. Ryo & Hiroi paid back Bocchi for the money that they still owned her, nice job. Kessoku Band got an invitation to watch the performance of Sick Hack and it was an pretty good performance, Bocchi's thoughts turned into some hyper things lol. Bocchi suddenly disappeared at the start of the festival, that's an interesting one, I wonder if she is still not ready for it but im sure some confidence will be put into her to perform at that stage. |
  |
| I'm excited that the school fes is the climax. I can't wait to see them perform! Also, I hope we can get a full version of Sick Hack's song |
| She's got a ways to go, but slowly but surely, little by little, Bocchi is breaking out of her shell and connecting with other people on a deeper level. And who knew that that would be mostly in thanks to some drunk that she randomly met. Gonna call it now: Bocchi the Rock has sparked a newfound tradition of having any anime character from now on say "an unfamiliar ceiling" whenever they wake up in an infirmary bed. These are the best kind of references btw, ones that feel natural and make sense, without having the feeling that it was just shoe-horned in for the sake of being a reference. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Will the anime ever adapt maid Bocchi? |
 |
| Honestly, it’s amazing it is still this good. The visuals during the concert scene were unreal. |
| I love this anime so much! Can't wait to see more Bocchi like this: I'm so hyped for the next episode |
Feel free to join the Bocchi the Rock! club!   |
| Lol Kita forced the inscription of Bocchi on the school festival concert, I'm not surprised she got that bit of motivation but in the end hide or escaped if they can't find her anymore. Anyway I loved seeing the other band and how their alchemy is so different but works perfectly, this is how you make an original group, lot of life lessons and philosophy at the same time. |
 |
| Holy shit Kikuri's band is amazing. |
| This anime is so good, dunno |

Idk why you think Bocchi is hiding from concert (and not only you). At start of the episode you see that her class makes a maid cafe and all girls are participating... Sure, Bocchi goes in her own world immediately but she still needs to participate in maid cafe. Which would explain why she is nowhere to be found because she herself kinda missed that she will be forced into talking with strangers dressed as a maid - and this is some extreme stress for her - and this is an understatement. |
|
oh god thank you for mentioning this, I thought I was taking crazy pills |
| Hahahaha Bocchi disappearing when the festival starts after saying those words to Kita God Reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Wow, the other band is actually good, and professional. If only she didn't keep causing property damage while drunk. The alcohol has become her crutch so much she's basically alcoholic, at that age. Not good. |
 |
| Wonder if they will do the big reveal when Bocchi is in a maid outfit. |
 |
| I knew somehow Kita would submit the registration form. But the way they did it was just too good. The best anime of the season for me. So much fun and references in an episode, Evangelion reference out of nowhere. |
 |
If you pay attention in episode 10 there are Hiyori and Koharu merchandise in Bocchi the Rock and Slow Loop in episode 10 there is a Kessoku Band during the festival  |
| seems like this season will end on a high note with bocchi finally achieving her dream to perform in cultural fest. very fun episode again. 5/5. can't wait to see our bocchi shining during the cultural fest. went back and saw slow loop ep 10, there really was a bocchi reference there. also didn't notice that those were hiyori and koharu on those keychains until i read the posts. good stuff. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| The consistency of this anime is unreal. Every episode is a joy to watch and the quality of direction is always fascinating. I really didn't expect it to be so unique. Definitely the biggest surprise of the year. |
| How the turn tables, we now got a Slow Loop reference, the Kirara Universe is forming. I absolutely cannot wait for the culture festival performance. I kind of wish we got a longer performance from Sick Hack, but all is forgiven once they release a full version. You can really notice how Bocchi is slowly improving herself, you love to see it. Speaking from experience, sometimes all you really need is a little push, it will be uncomfortable at first, but it'll be worth it in the end. They're gonna kill it at the culture festival. |

Ferli_21 said: reference the scream art was make me laugh 😂 I NEED maid costume Bocchi. The past 3 2 episodes have been a little bit slower, this one is more dense (adapting more chapters?) and feels like a return to form. The last couple were excellent, and I love slice of life comedy in general, but when we get to the band stuff, that's when I get super excited to take in every second of the show. I do appreciate the balance so far - I get disappointed when it feels like a show is rushing through things, but here it feels like some time has really passed and the characters are really getting a chance to know each other better. I love Hiroi in this episode, the "drunkard's life lessons" trope can get tiresome but they did a good job selling her character this episode. She's the perfect person to get through to Bocchi. Their motivations for joining a band are different - Bocchi wants to be a star, whereas Hiroi wanted to avoid the boring adult life. I think the key to Bocchi's happiness lies more on the Hiroi side. I just hope she doesn't need to turn to alcohol. Yesterday I saw a fanart of Bocchi doing the flex tape salesman meme, and it always makes me sad to think of how most of my favorite anime characters will be doing normal jobs after graduation. Love her song, though Bocchi's thoughts were talking over it for its short duration. |

| I'm really happy that we got a nice cameo of the Slow Loop duo in the form of keychains. I do miss watching that cute series weekly... Overall, this episode was another great one. Bocchi's hesitation in submitting a form for her band to play at the school festival was understandable, but I do approve of Kita of doing the deed for Bocchi, as she needed that push in the right direction, which Bocchi was thankful for. Hiroi got good screentime again and we got to see her own band, where I immediately approve of Eliza as she's from England. Putting that aside, the visual style while they played at the decent-sized venue was nicely done, even though if was rather short. Her addiction too booze and breaking things on a whim is the reason why she's broke most of the time, even though she does earn a good amount of money from her ticket sales. XD |
| Okay, Hiroi's band fuckin' rules! And the other girls are pretty cute too. I love how the blonde one is just a massive weeb. Hiroi really needs to cut back on the booze tho. It's a bit concerning. So the school festival is gonna be the last major arc of the show... wait a minute HITORI WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO?! EDIT: Oh I just realised the weeb girl in Hiroi's band had keyrings of characters that look like the Slow Loop girls. After hearing that Kessoku Band were in Slow Loop and I didn't even notice, what is the connection between these two shows? Kessoku Band are actual characters in Slow Loop, but Slow Loop is an anime in Bocchi the Rock's universe?! Is it just a Kirara thing? WHAT IS THIS?! |
