I loved how they gave more spotlight to Ryo in this episode, the character is just too authentic.


So the animation directors a massive fan of Oasis, eh? Hopefully there wont be any fights.

I disagree with the “make your music” thing, mainly because you can make by-the-numbers, 0.0001 brain cell music that sounds good. The first example that comes to mind is “The Rock Song” and “First Date” from Blink-182s album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. They hated those songs and didn’t even think about making anything particularly unique about them (pretty sure one of those guys wrote First Date in a few minutes to finish the album) but both still sound great and carries their personality (mostly).

Also, I’m something of a downer myself and I wouldn’t want to hear (unrefined) downer music.

Only four episodes in and this is starting to be one of my favorite animes. Bocchi's weekly delusions and strokes are always so hilarious to watch, and the production of each episode is amazing.

if it continues like this it's probably my favorite anime of the last 5 years along with Mob Psycho seasons 2-3, Sonny boy and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu remake.

I really like how they touch ont he subject of losing one's uniqueness by trying to please others.
Great episode, and a very important message especially for younger kids.

The formation of the Kessoku Band by taking photoshoots and forming a lyric. Ryo while having a conversation with Bocchi inside a cafe, suggest her to make lyrics that doesn't sound generic but stays true with her own heart <3

I just love this show. My AOTS. I usually don't like overly-happy and bright characters but Kita is done so well and realistic. Bocchi and Kita tandem is great.

Time cover and transcribe every song from this show. I'm a Jazz bass guy, but I'll buy a Precision just because of Ryo.

this just flows and builds so well. art is clean. characters are amazing.their synergies are very strong, possibly will get to the level of k-on. very relatable dialogues. it feels a bit more mature than k-on for some reason about the topics they talk, the level of consciousness displayed in it.
they also really went all out on giving different illustrations of bocchi's uneasiness around people and topics both comedically and artistically.
everything is just so in place and good. amazing first time for ryou and bocchi talking to each other alone.
this show is gonna be amazing, if it gets to the part where they actually performs some music. also new ED in this episode.

Oh wow that ending. The "Bocchi no!" moment after all that heartfelt development was glorious. I also really like the sliding scale of over the top comedy to genuine introversion. It's good that we can have subtle touches like Bocchi taking extra sips of water to avoid eye contact next to the full on seizures.

well i disagree whole heartedly
Periphery,Polyphia,Chon,Plini,ichika nito,tricot,Murphy Radio,nercytalkie and many more created their own kind of music instead follow the mainstream tho and that's 1000x more exicting than any trendy music out there
i mean if you like that kind of music sure that's your taste and opinion lol, but a band trying to strive for originality and being themselve is probably always the right approached
and it's kinda inline with the whole anime/manga theme, Bocchi have someone who accept her while being herself

the idea of making an account cause Bocchi to have seizures.

her mom even think she is possessed. xD

and wtf, why does her room now look like the room of a psychopath? lol

anyway, Ryo talk with Bocchi to compose the music that Bocchi likes instead of going mainstream had a good effect.

looking forward to their song next week. :)

It was great! I don't know how but Bocchi The Rock has superior animation and production quality, thanks to CloverWorks <3 For story, I really liked how they showed Ryu's past and It made a nice thought to Bocchi. I'm curious how'll be depressive songs with Kita lyrics.
Addition; new ED is great, check it out!

This episode felt very special in terms of cohesion betwen the girls as everyone showed their unique life approach. Nijika is a true lead arranger, Kita is a baby face of the band, Ryo is the wisdom and confidence of it and Hitori being Hitori when in touch with the socitey which is always a vicious fight inside herself. I was dying of laughter when Kita proposed Hitori to have her personal photo account which resulted in a brilliant Godzilla-like drawing sequence. All in all it was a breakthrough for the band and I believe that all the viewers felt it by the heart.

"Are ya winning, Diners?"

Bocchi is just too good at making me laugh so much! XD

This episode was a nice showcase of how insane the visual direction goes when it comes to Bocchi. From the normal panicking faces to expressions that were so random that it made it even funnier. Not only that, but Ryo mentioning about anime having a group jump in their OPs being god-tier was a nice reference to the Kirara Jump.

Speaking of Ryo, I enjoyed her chat with Bocchi at the fancy cafe. You can understand as to why she quit her previous band since they went for a more commercial and generic song direction rather than keeping the style that they had, which is what she wanted Bocchi to keep in mind when it came to the lyrics of their first song as a band. It makes me like Nijika even more than ever now since she was able to convince Ryo to join her and play as a band again. =)

Overall, this series is standing firm in a season packed with heavy-hitting sequels and a certain chainsaw juggernaut. So far, it's been a blast and I commend CloverWorks for the production values that they've put into this series. I also like the new ED song, too.

It is clear as Kita-chan that this anime has now touched the hearts and emotions of the ones who has watched it.
The love this series has, the expressive animation, the details to the small bits and dialogues along with the crazy expressions is next to nothing I've seen from a CGDCT, they are literally not afraid to make Bocchi look as weird and adorable with her reactions.
I friggin love the jokes and the songs! this is such a treat before the year ends,

I completely agree and I'm glad you took your time to formulate a response, I was going to but thought it wasn't worth it, but in my opinion the best example of outside of the box bands is Dream Theater, since they have an unique song writing style that's not only amazing, but 100% outside of what the norm is, and they now are one of the biggest names in metal at the very least.

Bruh the ending caught me off guard. Anyway another amazing episode can't wait to hear their song.
Monster of the week trope is a sign inability of the author to write a good plot so they introduce random ass villain to distract viewer with action.

Kessoku Band didn't play today(again); well that's because they go on a trip to do an another "band-like thing" which is PR photos. oh and hey, we got a new ED song as well


her struggling to write a lyrics for their original song then going crazy through some scenarios in her head but in the end Bocchi gonna do what Bocchi does, she completed the lyrics in her term and didn't even slept. And just the idea having an "insta" broke her so much. she really is the soul of this show.

yeah, DT really put Prog metal on the map and Metropolis seriously blew my mind when i first heard them (like seriously, they are alien i'm sure)
even on the manga every chapter they always give a recomendation for a band from various type of music (AKG, Rick Rack, Fredric, Creep Hype, USG, YTY, the pillows, sakanaction, PSR, Fuji Fabric, YRYR teitoku, Number Girl, 88 Kasho Junrei, Necry Talkie, Band-Maid, Queen Bee, Radwimps, Alexandros, BoC, Regal Lily, BLUE ENCOUNT, Yonige, Macaroni enpitsu, Kyuusonekokami, Akai Koen, My Hair is Bad, King Gnu, TOC, Gesu no Kiwami, Nigami 17sai)
The mangaka is clearly care about music and from what i see she still actively play bass

Bang dream and bocchi the rock really ignite my love for playing instrument again, really love both series

We got a more serious moment in this episode. This time we dive deeper into Bocchi's and Ryou's 'real' characters. It turns out Ryou is a level headed and perceptive person beneath her usual jokes and pranks. And we see Bocchi is a little too excited about her first group picture to the point she covered her entire room with it.

PS. Can anyone make a gif where Bocchi is shaking her head right and left at the beginning of the episode? Highly appreciated.

It's nice that Bocchi could write her own lyrics instead of just trying to copy the popular and boring pattern, blue-haired girl is pretty good together with Bocchi, the picture taking though xD I instantly thought about K-ON opening when they told that about jumping xD
The manga references exactly that actually, in chapter 7. But sadly they didn't include it in the anime.

Did she stay up all night putting up the same poster across her entire room?

And if so, was the song she showed them the voodoo song?

"Acting more band-like" means being heavily commercialized?

"Are ya winning, diners"

Unrelated but why is every single ad on Gogoanime porn?
