| This and DIY officially mark this as the season of "Shes Just Like Me FR" shows. God straight to the heart |
She's just bad at talking to people, so she tries to sound quirky as an emotional defense. |
| That was easily the best premier episode this season so far. |
| THE CHARACTERS R SO CUTE N THE ANIMATION IS SO EXPRESSIVE IM LOVING IT SO FAR |
| Hitori's seiyuu did a great job, it's really funny xD the music is also really good especially the ED song, I hope they will perform it live in future episodes. If Do It Yourself is more of a relaxing slice of life, then Bocchi the Rock is more of an entertaining slice of life. As a slice of life fan, I'm really happy with the presence of these two in this season ♡ also Guitar Hero... brings back memories ;D The characters are funny and cute especially Hitori, although I'm more attracted to Ryou :3 hahaha |

| I cannot express how fucking happy this show has already made me. After the PV dropped I made sure to set aside some time for it and MAN. I didn't expect to be this into it. Shows a straight shot to the heart. Animation was super charming and expressive without laying it on too thick or feeling tryhard with the memefaces. Effortlessly cute. Really comfy/chill artstyle- sorta modern and hip but COZY! Really got me with the episode ending fakeout. Laughed way harder than necessary. Thats a fuckin youtuber gag, has no right being in an anime but god did it get me. If they manage to keep this momentum going, Bocchi will probably end up being a really important show for me to watch this season. Came at the perfect time- right as I'm struggling to get over myself and achieve a longtime dream of my own. Keeping up with our beloved hikki in-recovery week to week just might be what I need to keep me motivated. If this pink anime girl can do it so can you! (Also Yamada is really cute. 10/10) |

| Rooting for you, Hitori! You can do it. |

| Something about this series has depth right at the start, with Hitori's loneliness being portrayed as some self-realization for others, as there are opportunities ahead yk. The visual presentation is so clean with its color & background composition. |

| damn gotou make me remember that i request songs in radio school to play BMTH - Medusa back in middle shcool. it's a nice start can't wait for the next episode. |

| I really like the comedy and the top of the shelf voice acting/directing. 5 stars easily. That poem in the closet made me pause to catch my breath. Speaking of which... that fake outro... damn, LOL Animation and girls are cute too. Playing animation mostly makes sense, which is a great plus for a music anime. But while all this is certainly relatable stuff for a beginner musician, breaking out, anxiety, trying to fit in, fit in the band (and their timing. Advice: try listening to the drummer only) , the CRINGE of trying to stand out and all that... I'm just tired of borderline autistic protagonists. They didn't have to go so far as to have her play IN A BOX. I mean come on. I just can't understand how can you not talk to the people you see every day and this is slowly wearing me down show after show. |
| Finally, some good fvcking show after not watching ongoing show for a year |
| Хайде, хайде, хайде, това е първата зона, брато, първа зона, първа зона, добре, добре, добре, това става тук горе, отива тук горе, само спокойно, само спокойно...

| Decent start. Looks like K-On meets Uramichi Oni-san. I have a question though. If Bocchi wants to have band members, why she didn't perform live at the public streets, instead of searching members from her school, or posting videos online? She wanted other to hear her guitar music, while she's afraid in playing in front of other people. I see a potential plot hole and contradicting situation here. |

Have you noticed Hitori's mental state? She has a dream, but couldn't live it out because of her social anxiety. She tried to stand out in the hope of getting approached by others. She isn't even comfortable at a fashionable part of the city, a performance would be out of the question. It was Nijika who eventually invited her. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Was high on this show looking at AniChart a few weeks back. It is literally the child of K-On and Hitori Bocchi, two of my favorite shows ever. I am so excited to see more of this!!! |
 |
| Must protect Hitori Gotou and her dream at all costs! From the first glance it is a gem of a show, funny, likeable and incendiary. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode more than I thought I would. It's the only SoL anime I'm watching this season and it is made by CloverWorks so of course it is beautiful. |
| I also recommend Three Days Grace 2022 album "Explosions" to listen for everyone who found a soulmate in Hitori's character and her uncertainties. |
| |
| Cool first episode, made me laugh and smile.High hopes |
 |
| This was incredible, My expectation was pretty high for Bocchi The Rock and First episode surpased that expectation. Not only the episode was funny, but relatable too. I'm not a musician but social anxiety and introvertness from Bocchi was real and close to myself. Definietly gonna keep watching this anime until the end, Hope CloverWorks can keep up with story and animation. |
 |
| This reminds me of K-ON so much, just that Yui was a bubbly airhead whereas Bocchi is… lowkey the opposite lol. Her voice actress is amazing! The faces Hitori makes and the comedic timing of this show is amazing. I love this shit! Will def be one of the best this season, I got so much on my watch list, this season is friggin packed! |
  |
| The dialogues are solid! I'm lovin' it! |
   |
| I think this might be one of my favorite premieres in a while! Really dig the energy and the characters so far. Bocchi is super likeable, adorable and relatable protagonists. Reaction faces and the overall comedy is also funny and cute. Not to mention the show just looks great overall. I can't wait for more, looking forward to see more of these girls' antics and growth. |
| Expressive, relatable and fun. Keiichiro Saito is one hell of a director. |
| Best first episode I've seen in a while |
Bocchi!! Yes I want more Bocchis! |
 |
| underrated voice actresses |

| This was actually so funny and enjoyable. What a great first episode |
 |
| Wtf the score is too high. I only checkes this anime because I'm a musician myself, and I see the MC using a BB King 'Lucille' Guitar. Should I give this a try? I think I will lol. |
