I started this recently. I've seen two eps. If I remember correctly a lot of people were claiming it to be best show of the fall but I don't see it. So far it's been boring. Is it gonna get better going forward?

The last few episodes were, for me, the absolute best. Not just of this anime, but from any anime that aired in 2022. So yea, it does get better. And if you still don't like the story or characters etc. you'll at least hear some great music.

yes since the first two eps is just the introduction to the world and the characters but soon in like ep 3 or 4 that's when the ball starts to roll. I would honestly just recommend trying to watch a few more eps to see how you like it first, but if by then it doesn't match your taste then you can stop ig.

Yea I think generally after like 6 episodes, you can decide if it's worth to keep watching or not.

If you're a fan of cuteness / comedy anime. this anime has its strength to entertain you till the end ( Well it depends on your taste ) if you say you're bored after watching ep 1 then better to drop the anime.

I think it isn't just for you. Perhaps you aren't into CGDCT show. So don't push yourself to watch something you won't enjoy.

I think you should give it at least 3 eps (I usually do that with most anime) if you still think it's not to ur taste, you're probably better off not watching it. That said, this is a pretty good slice of life/CGDCT anime overall, so if you don't like this you almost definitely won't like this genre.

I haven't finished the series yet, missing only the movie and the OVAs, but I think for now both of them are equally good. They both did a really great job of adapting a 4-kouma (K-On S2, mostly. I didn't think it would be possible to get +20 eps out of like 30-40 chapters that were left).

Tbh its a subjective type of thing, I enjoyed this anime from the get go even tho it was kinda slow paced for the first 4 or 3 episodes, the story gets very interesting for a comedy anime and the gags becomes crazier and funnier overtime, the last episodes are lowkey one of the best comedy episodes I have ever seen.

base on what? The only Yuri I liked was Citrus for everything else I have mixed feelings depending the series. Also you are human being as such you cannot pretend to objectivity since you have a limbic system and such are equipped with emotions.

the characters are relatable enough, if you are an introvert (atleast the main character is, anyway)

For the most part it seems that you aren’t really into slice of life’s. It’s safe to drop, while it’s a fun show, you aren’t missing out on a lot. I would just try the 3 episode rule and drop it if it doesn’t really pique your interest.

The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

it's worth it imo, but if you think the first two eps are boring you might not enjoy the rest of it.
I personally was already intrigued at that point.
it's a slice of life series about girls who form a band with a focus on the anxious main character, it's not going to pick up any more pace or develop shocking twists or anything.

I'm an Introvert and I don't dislike CGDCT. Just from what I've seen in two eps. It didn't pique my interest. But I'll give it a shot for maybe one more ep.

I love slice of life shows but this just didn't interest me. Maybe it was bcz I had an expectation cuz of all the things I heard about this show. Idk.

I personally found this to be the most overhyped or overrated anime of 2022 which failed to live up to my expectations. So I personally won't recommend it to anyone. I was expecting something mind-blowing or extra ordinary since the fans were hyping it up to be the next big thing in the industry or something like that and I already had a feeling that it's all going to be lies and I was proved correct when I watched it. Also the comedy felt so lame and childish. Reminded me of FMAB, DS and Komi's ass comedy scenes.

It improves, but it wasn't personally my aots, though I did really enjoy it. Give it a couple more episodes and if you still don't enjoy it, just drop it, there's nothing wrong with not finishing a show you don't enjoy.

Its similar humor and vibes throughout the whole show. Which is for the most part, lowbrow. Unless you personally identify with the main character, the show has nothing if you dont like the comedy. And I like CGDCT shows. This was incredibly below average. It wasnt the best music anime of the year (that goes to Paripi Koumei), OR even the best animated show or comedy show in the same season it aired with. Its just lolreddit humor the anime.

For me as more episodes were out, it was getting better and better. Watching Bocchi, how she try to get into society and get out of her comfortable zone. It's definitely worth to watch it or give it a second chance.

Personally, I really liked Bocchi but it's not going to be for everyone. maybe consider giving it to around episode 4 or so but drop it if you don't care for it. Nothing wrong with not finishing a series you don't care for.

I don't think the series was necessarily overrated but I do think it's a series that doesn't necessarily have universal appeal. Cute girls doing cute things, slice of life, focus on anxiety, focus on music, these aren't necessarily the most universally popular things.
