they said this show was underrated
they said this show was relatable
it was and i am deeply scared
i'm gonna keep it a buck here this actually was the hidden gemstone of the season everyone said it was, comedy got a rise out of me, the show managed to use its devices such as its art and music to its highest potential, hitori was a scarily realistic and relatable character down to even the smallest unconventional mannerisms and it i felt amused yet attacked the whole way through, almost as if the anime was made to spite specifically me for being socially inept and extremely self-absorbed deep inside and hiding behind a computer screen pretending i have an actual personality
nijika and ryou also felt super realistic too despite being insanely eccentric and i can actually visualize everything kessoku band does in a real-life setting while maintaining the anime-like formula
this gotta be the show the cute girls doing cute things community has been STARVING for this year

Not blown away by this first episode, but giving it the benefit of the doubt, as it does have potential. So I'll watch a few more episodes, see where it goes.

This and DIY officially mark this as the season of "Shes Just Like Me FR" shows. God straight to the heart

DIY is my favourite of the season by a long shot but i'm growing to like Bocchi as well solely for the great talent utilized to make this sort of presentation possible.

Bocchi is the new standard for protagonists with social anxiety. The way it is portrayed is realistic and framed in a way that mostly elicits a sad appreciative smile rather than an attempt to laugh at her expense, which is a tone I can get behind, unlike in Kuma Miko or WataMote. It certainly strikes a good balance between poking fun at her social maladaptation and having both the audience and in-universe characters support and root for her to overcome it. It makes all the difference when an author loves their characters and wants them to succeed instead of milking them for cheap shots at abusive comedy.

I have to agree with your assessment here. Social anxiety is a very undertalked about thing that happens to many people.

It is relatable, funny, has human characters, blah, blah, I heard this and that but not much about the VA. Like holy shit, Bocchi's VA performance is just on a completely different level. Best VA this season by a mile. Never thought there would be an anime which would have me asking for more tell and less show. The camera angles are also pretty impressive. This is one of the things I would show when someone asks me why I love anime.

Wow talk about a great first episode. Loved every bit of it, especially when they rolled the credits halfway through. Hitori's VA is killing it.

It was delightful when I saw the first episode of "Bocchi The Rock." The main characters were hilarious and cute. I recommend this new anime of the season to everyone. I will like to see more about the show on mangas or recent seasons soon. :)

Must protec Bocchi.

Have been delaying this anime for a while, but heard tons of people talking about it and praising it so gave it a try NOW.

Amazing direction and animation. Characters look interesting. MC is relatable to like 70-80% of MAL users (me included) I reckon, lol.

No wonder it has such a high score. You can feel the quality and effort put into this.

It's rare these days to see a single episode of a show and realize you'll love it!!!

I don't even know whether that's the right term to use. Bocchi the Rock!!! This was a good pilot episode. Hitori is for real, an introvert like me, she knows the guitar tho :)
I liked this episode. It's got this fun vibe to it. And I hope there are more songs in the coming episodes!!! Let's see how the rest of this season goes!!!!

I had no idea anime would be this good. Definitely not a CGDCT show in my opinion. I already love Hitori as a protagonist, she's filled with so much character energy.

It's about time I've watched this highly rated anime that my friends have suggested to me. Hopefully it lives up to its hype. Honestly kind of the problem with people hyping things up, I end up expecting more. Although I think my expectations get lower if it's from a small, passionate group as opposed to a big one.

People are comparing this to K-On! I kind of dislike how the anime community constantly pits anime against each other. But at least K-On! vs Bocchi the Rock makes sense. Unlike Dragonball vs. Spy x Family, as those are two different anime, of two different genres, that serve two different purposes.

I wonder if Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou is a reference to Hitori Bocchi from Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu. Such a coincidence if it isn't. Since they're both introverts and they tie their hair similarly. Also kind of funny that a pink-haired anime character's an introvert this time. Bocchi has the same hair and eye colour as the extraverted Nadeshiko Kagamihara, lol.

Speaking of references, maybe Ryou the dark-blue haired introvert liking puns is a reference to Yui, another dark-blue haired introvert who likes puns.

I'm not a band expert, but I'm guessing Bocchi will be the lead guitarist since she has nice shredding skills? Kind of funny since in stories featuring bands, the lead guitarist is an extrovert, and ambivert, or an ambivert-leaning introvert.
