Bocchi the Rock! is an anime which follows Hitori Goto on her dream to become part of a band and pursuing her love for playing the guitar. Though on the downside she is lonely and has has a LOT of social anxiety. She goes into her first year of highschool trying to find if anyone is a "rocker" like her and too see if they want to start a band. Will she be successful, and if so how will they get fans to cheer them on? If your up to seeing a person struggling with social anxiety come and try to step up this ... challenge, this is probably just for you. Maybe if you are into the music genre, this does go well with how it goes into the music industry and the first steps of trying to go big (along the lines of a band). I'll also say that this anime isn't like 100% serious and all as it has a lotta goofy jokes.

For the far and few, if you don't like a person who is trying to always avoid issues by running away and have her friends cheer her up and get back up in a come to age band story, then don't watch it .

(This Review is created by somebody who watched this season out of order from the rest)

If you like hitting the gym or Boxing, this anime is for you.

This anime is about the son of an orge, Baki, who goes to the Arizona State Prison to have a 1v1 with America's strongest man in order to prove himself worthy of fighting and to get stronger.
The animation quality is good and the art is unique as it puts more emphasis on definition of the face and body on the characters
The story for this season is made quite well, and it combines humor and fighting together ... to showcase Baki's journey to defeat America's strongest man.

Be aware, there is a lot of urinating randomly on people in the anime, and I still do not understand why it's in there.

My only negative is that they make some of the fight scenes turn into a big yapfest with the side characters explaining what they see in the fight. It made me a lil bored and affected the pacing a bit, not its not that big of a deal.

Overall i loved the story but the story at times can be a little weird, giving it a light 8.

POSITIVES: The show is quite interesting if you like a mix of fighting and adventure. The animation is unique as the designs for the monsters are bizarre and it focuses on all the characters in the anime, not just the main character. I do love some of the conflicts the show puts out, such as the problems the girl faces becoming a samurai, the guy who takes an interest in art is forced into beheading criminals, and my favorite is the bad kid finding a better life after being trained by the blind samurai guy. Also the fight scenes are AMAZING! I especially loved ... the part where Gabimaru fights off one of the flower people (I think they are called Tensen or Tengen I honestly forgot)

Also, this anime is probably not safe in the family tv room because somebody passing by will definitely give you that LOOK when the
"peach scene" pops up 😭🙏

The flower people are a bit freaky, but it's only focused for a bit so it's all good.


NEGATIVES: However, I would like to criticize on the excess amount of backstories in this season. Backstories are needed to improve character development, but having multiple episodes carry on about backstory after backstory can be a little exhausting. It didn't affect the quality of the story that much, but I did have some moments where I wanted to skip past a few seconds forward.

When I first started this anime, I thought that this was an immediate drop because of how they sexualize the girls in the show a lot and it felt like one of those generic harem anime's where the mc is all shy and nervous but pulls all the girls. However, bc I like fight scenes, I continued watching the anime (ngl those fight scenes were pretty good for it's time).

However, my perspective changed a bit, as I realized this anime was more trying to funny (and I personally did find it funny) than rather serious.

Overall, I recommend this to those who find the ... anime funny or for some reason just like watching a mc pull all the girls. If not this show is a flop.


First Review btw, hope you take my advice into consideration.

Edit: Also, I dunno why I gave this anime a 9/10, it literally wasn't THAT good, but I guess the humor got to the best of me a back then.
