was that the badass bocchi redemption performance with 24 minutes of pure rock I was expecting? no.
did I still get a spine-chilling guitar solo from bocchi once more? yeah.
am I satisfied with this finale? yeah.

progress is a slow and tedious thing, especially when you're hitori gotou, and because of that I'm kinda glad I didn't get the flawless performance where bocchi shreds the guitar like a beast on stage becomes a national treasure overnight
she still has a long way to go, and that's ok as long as she's always making progress, which is what bocchi the rock stands for and what makes it so special
had chills throughout the entire episode, but the second song's guitar solo really got me, how does that sliding thing even work??

expectedly so, heartfelt moments left right and center, understanding kita as someone who just wants to support someone in need and bocchi's family as people who understand what hitori struggles through on an everyday basis and supporting her ambitions

notably, the visual gags have been toned down a lot for this episode, as bocchi's eyes are more exposed to the reality surrounding her, thought this was great in order to focus on the story
puppet and super saiyan bocchi got me rolling

glad to see ryou and nijika still get some spotlight in the second half, their funny antics will never get old

again nothing too phenomenal, as for a lot of slice of life anime finales, tho it serves as a reminder that they're all the same people living the same ordinary lives in the end, which I've always liked about shows of this nature

this isn't the end of the adventures of kessoku band, and I'll always be looking forward to seeing them again
this anime really popped off, didn't it?

10/10

I still don't understand why did she jump off the stage like that 😭😭😭

OH MY GOD IS THAT AN ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION COVER BY BOCCHI AND THR BAND AT THE END??!!! Yea that alone made this a 10/10. One of my fave songs ever and one of the anthems of my childhood. Goosebumps. What an anime. What a group of friends. Just a down to earth and awesome watch. Still lean do it yourself!! As best SoL but I can understand why people rate this so high

EDIT: Just realised every Bocchi episode is named after an Asian Kung Fu Generation(my fave band) song. All of the characters are named after the band members. This is literally a love letter to my fave band and I completely missed it until now because I don’t read ep titles lmao. What a show and hopefully this puts more people on the band

Man, before I start to talk I wanna say something. Bocchi the Rock! will be a timeless classic.

Been here since the first announcement and all I can say is it was a beautiful ride. Anime's staff literally showed us how they adored the show and did their best.

What a beautiful show, can't wait to see more.

That was an epic faceplant there by Bocchi.  Seeing that she can't exactly perform with a broken string that this was the next best thing to do.

What a great journey definitely my favorite anime of the season. Seeing all the small details like kita getting better at playing and being able to move more smoothly while playing like Bocchi at the final ep was a treat. They didn’t touch the next arc so it gave us a nice sense of closure for now but hopefully we get good news about a second season eventually.

Overall a great watch i loved having banger eps each week, sometimes build up is great but following along a anime like this with a steady narrative full of great moments honestly was more entertaining for me personally. A godly adaptation of a 4Koma manga hopefully it inspires other production teams to be creative with their animation not only as a money saving mechanism but to make better art in general.

Hope a second season is announced soon.

This is by far my fav anime of the season. Top 5 this year too. Bocchi is always so funny and so relatable too with her introvert personality.

But what I love most is the passion this anime has for guitar. I really wish this show existed when I was younger because it would’ve definitely motivated me to keep playing guitar and not quit.

Thanks to a great season Bocchi

I LOVE IT!!!! Their stage performance is so good! Funny how Bocchi tried to jump towards the audience but ended up nobody catch her LOL (But she's fine later on so no worries). Good thing Bocchi got her new guitars, but all and all, this anime is finished, ED song is so good! 
I wanted more but I guess this is it, lets hope there's a S2 coming up.

Best show that aired this season. I'm sad that we'll have to wait years before this gets a sequel. Nonetheless, this show carries a special place in my heart.
Easily a top 10 anime contender for me.

Amazing anime, truly great once it got its ball rolling.

The character interactions are what made me really like this series. Once the band itself was introduced it was hit after hit with Bocchi outlandish outbursts, Kita's eloquence and admiration for Ryo who left out quite the witty comments, and Nijika's who's forward attitude and remarks balanced it all out. We can also add the side characters as well such as the Gotoh family, the manager and the drunken bassist all adding to a comedy that until the last episode really had me.

The animation is also something to give lots of props. The studio really showed how much they cared about this adaptation in the gags. Not only were many varied in style but some scenes were not even animated and didn't feel out of place. On the other hand, this is a music anime and it shows in the number of tracks being featured and played by the band itself with different camera angles and varying shots in synchronization with the melody.

But it's not all laughs since there's also character development from the cast. Hitori being able to overcome her limitations from social anxiety and getting closer to understanding each of the band members, Kita trying her best to support her, Nijika believing in the band she formed for her dream and Ryo just... doing her thing while being a good companion.

I can't understate how much I liked this and if it's not by AOTY it's very very close.

One of the best if not the best anime of this year. The only thing that came close was Made in Abyss but it's kinda not the same since it's 2nd/3rd season. Anyway they went all out with this episode and I would be delighted to see 2nd season announcement but either way awesome anime.

I'm glad I watched it while it was airing. A masterpiece for sure. Bocchi the Rock! really obtained the top 1% production of all anime, making it so perfect. Bocchi the Rock! has definitely obtained a special place in my heart. 10/10, certainly one of the best anime aired in 2022 (*Goes back to dark, cramped place and praying for a second season*)

The ratings just keeps getting higher & higher day by day. I still haven't watched this show. Bit the way it's growing pretty, I might give it a try soon.

Ik, mal ratings don't really mean much. But it's not like they don't mean anything. And this series manga isn't even that popular at all. So I'm sure there aren't really any biased fans, who just keep rating the show higher. That's why I'm surprised that it's just getting better.

Now people compare it to CSM, saying how are it's rating more than it & shit like that. I really think that those people are dump af. People are rating it higher based on how the show is, not in comparison to any other show. Try to understand it.

Anime of the year for me imo. Not many shows had me love the opening, all the endings, all the characters, the animation, the comedy, basically everything. A lot of people might say that a show like this doesn’t deserve to be at the top but from how much love was put in to this anime i would beg to differ. Honestly sad that it’s over but i hope we get a second season one day!

What a great way to end the season. I was confused whether this is my favorite music anime or not but after i watched the episode, i am certain that this is my favorite music anime so far. That jump of bocchi lmao. The laugh of ryo after bocchi's jump was hilarous too :) I was expecting bocchi to go in badass mode but the way kita is covering up her string was much better thought than mine 
I am gonna miss this anime so much T_T

This anime has been a wild ride, and It was worth staying from the beginning to the end. I really loved this series and it's quite sad to say goodbye, but ofc as the cliched saying goes "all good things must come to an end". I really hope this gets another season cause man the adaptation is really well done, and I can see the inspiration, the hard work, and passion that went through making this. Thank you clover works, and thank you Bocchi the Rock!!!

That dive. I don't think I've cringed this hard at anime scene since WataMote. Thankfully everyone though it was some kind of a gag, or else Bocchi would have isekai-ed from embarrassment. And that ED song is now my 2nd favorite song from the show after Kara Kara. It has such a feel good comfy vibe. Kind of gives me a giant dose of early 2000's nostalgia. Overall, one of the best anime I've watched recently. I hope that "thank you" at the end doesn't mean there won't be a 2nd season, because this show deserves more seasons. Besides, we still haven't seen the rest of the band find out who Guitar Hero is.

Even when it's going good, something has to happen to Bocchi. But, that's how it is and she improved a lot. Quite the performance from the band and the supporting of Bocchi's family. Honestly, this show was a rollercoaster and all the emotions brought up in me throughout the whole show were just fabulous. The freedom in the animation is surely one of the aspects why this anime is different compared to the rest. Reminded me of Mob Pyscho which is great. Welp, Bocchi got her new guitar, deserved for being a goated mc.

String broke and the dive... well at least it was a succesfull and the people loved it. I loved that the parents saved the money she won being guitar hero for her when she didn't knew that she could,and with that a new cool guitar.

This anime seriously need a second season ASAP. 9/10.
