| This was funny hehe, OP (ED?) kinda catchy as well. |
 |
| No one in class thinks that her name is kinda special... |
| . |
| This show is just too cute, pure, innocent and adorable! pls give me more of this healing stuff! 5/5. |
 |
| A surprisingly strong first episode, with good comedy and entertaining character interactions along with a cute friendship already between Bocchi and Nako. My only complaint so far would be her middle school friend's ultimatum: I get her intent and all, but it seems pretty unreasonable to ask Bocchi to make friends with her entire class considering the severity of her social anxiety (I mean, it's bad enough that she threw up when giving her introduction). I could understand asking her to make a few friends, but an entire class? That's just not possible, even if you don't have social anxiety. |
| Amazing anime so far, Bocchi best girl. I just hope this does NOT ends becoming a yuri trash anime. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |

| This was fun to watch. |
 |
| I'm really glad this was adapted so well! (I'm a fan/up to date on the manga) and glad to see other characters in the background who probably won't fit into the timeframe of 12 episodes. It was as cute as I was hoping for. And as someone with extreme Social Anxiety I'm glad Bocchi was adapted well! Looking forward to their adventures every week! Also all the girls sound exactly like I imagined them? I could easily tell who's who just by the seiyuu's voice. |
Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine.  |
| Remember when i first read this manga I had PTSD. Remembering that moment in 4th grade as i had to introduce myself to completely different people... i cringe remembering that to this day...yack... |

 |
| That was great. A better adaptation than I could have expected. Amazing. |
 |
| This anime is a bit similiar to Slow Start did, except Bocchi is hard to socializing because of her awkwardness rather than left one class below, which made it has stronger foundation than Slow Start. So far, the jokes are funny enough, and the story is quite cute to follow, just like my typical Slice of Life anime. I enjoy it. The opening, both song and animation, has a chance to be my personal favourite. |
| Like a lot of first episodes the 4-koma skeleton is incredibly transparent. I have no experience with the original but this feels like a pretty lifeless panel to anime transfer. There's too much 'space.' It's cute but hopefully it gets better, because I was looking forward to this. I see it's already overrated to all hell because it's oh so relatable |

| good first ep. feels wholesome. it made me chuckle a few times |
 |
| "When I get home, I'm Dying!" I couldn't help but think of Ishigami from Kaguya-Sama Love Is War when Bocchi shouted that out. XD Anyway, this was a really good start to this show. It's cute, colourful and Bocchi is the sort of character that's amusing, yet you want to cheer her on in her quest to become friends with everyone in her class. Nako might be on her smartphone a lot, but she's a nice person at heart. Despite Bocchi's clumsy attempts to talk to her, it wasn't long before the both of them became fast friends. Nicely done, Bocchi! ^_^ The OP song used as the Ed for this episode was catchy and likeable. I'm looking forward to seeing how this show will grow from here, with new characters appearing in due time. =) |
| Cute, wholesome and funny episode. Art style and everything fits perfect. I'm excited what bocchi will do next week! (:D+--------| |
| Mitsuboshi Colors was great, so I'm sure this will be just as good. Poor girl... |
| So is no one gonna mention the clever character names? Sotoka Rakita. Yawara Kai. Sunao Nako. HITORI BOCCHI. Where are my Japanese speaking/learning brethren at? |

I was thinking that too. There're some guys who said their names are kinda special in above posts but didn't show off their Japanese skills so lemme do the honor for future references >:D - Hitori Bocchi = hitoribocchi = Forever Alone - Sunao Nako = sunao na ko = earnest kid - Yawara Kai = yawarakai = Soft - Minagawa Rau = mina ga warau = everyone'll laugh - Sotoka Rakita = soto kara kita (?) = I came from outside (?) (not sure this one until the actual character appears...) You get the gist. Personally, I enjoyed the episode a lot and have a very high expectation. This kind of show is the best to persuade stubborn people who think CGDCT is shit. |

She is a foreigner judging by her name. Oh, she's the one. Just checked the database and I see her name is written in katakana making a tad difficult to guess the spelling when you see it in English. Sotca Luckythar? That's kinda forced... lol. A ninja-obsessed foreigner? Her introduction will be hilarious. |
|
| Bocchi is so amazing...nice find... will be watching it for sure |
 |
| the main voice actor sounds so much like kana hanazawa, was shocked to find it wasn't. great voice actress and a good debut though. fun watch of an anime so far. |
| cute enough to keep me watching |
| Pretty adorable and funny but I can see it possibly getting old fast |

Swagernator said: Come one man, no one can be that bad at social interactions lol. I don't believe we've met. In all seriousness, I was like this in middle school. Not because I was shy, mind you, but because I had a horrible elementary school experience. I was that kid that everyone picked on, and I had no support from my school and my parents didn't know how to handle the situation I was in (my parents have reflected on that entire situation with me multiple times, and I am not upset). When I entered middle school I was so scared to reach out to anybody because I was afraid I would become a target again, and I never learned how to communicate in elementary school. While I am a lot better at engaging other people I still have absolutely no clue how to hold a conversation or make new friends. I found this surprisingly cute. I love how the main character was taking the piss while still maintaining an innocent grace, and from what I can tell the other girl will make a fantastic foil. |
Swagernator said: Come one man, no one can be that bad at social interactions lol. apparently you haven't experienced social anxiety or know anyone who has it. Paul said: I know this more of a comedy but her social anxiety seems a bit off. Seems like she can interact just fine after the hurdle of initiating the conversation, albeit awkward. At the very least there didn't seem to be much of a hurdle compared to other forms and uses I've seen of social anxiety. Well if anything, this show just makes me want a Komi adaption more. she feels overly self-conscious on how her friend feels, so I say her social anxiety is still pretty bad. |
| I can definitely see this being one of the cutest shows this season! A solid first episode. Very cute, I'm able to sympathize with the characters and it had a good balance between the comedic moments and the more 'serious' moments. Definitely looking forward to the next episode of this! |
| As far as I remember, the manga was funnier to me. This was pretty decent, though, I liked it. Sokah said: Yuri-Crusader said: And her old friend is a fucking idiot, who the fuck demand something like that? Someone trying to help someone get stronger rather than destroy their life by enabling them to be a fuckup. Agree, she's just trying to help her friend. Dunno what even is that other person's problem, lmao. |
 |
| Bocchi extreme shyness reminds me of Mya-nee from Wataten. And funny, when she started counting and her eye went round... it reminded me of Goblin Slayer. xD Not bad at all, will be watching this. |
| Nako chan is a trap? She has the same voice actress as Hoshikawa Lily from zombieland saga |
| Nice production. It's funny for a few times when it came up with creative ways for the heroine to be socially awkward (like the one with fake notice), but most of the time it's just plain and boring. |
 |
| That was pretty cute Sadly Bocchi was able to make a friend faster than I ever have. Yet then again I never acted desperate about it. What a horrible thing to manipulate her into. I mean friends with literally her whole class when her social anxiety is that bad? Even popular extroverts would be unlikely to pull that off because at least one will person will not like them ever. |

| Nothing special so far, first half of the episode was actually boring. Still, I really like Nako, so I'm going to give it a chance. |
| That was super cute :) |
| Absolutely adorable first episode, Bocchi is the girl to protecc this season <3 |
 |
| idk but it made me really happy to see her grow close with nako after she literally wanted to make school disappear. she's so so cute i hope she makes lots of friends. |
