Bocchi the Rock! is an unserious CGDCT show that is mostly famous for having tricky animated segments that make good twitter memes, and a JUST LIKE ME protagonist! This is Bocchi za rokku! It totally rocks! I've been told many good things about this one: Firstly that its the only anime to get musicians right, and secondly that its the most unique looking anime ever. ALL TIME BABY.

i dont like it

While other CGDCT usually handle their characters more flippantly to focus on *other* details, Bocchi the Flop expects you to take a cast of cotton-candy-hair colored waifus wholeheartedly. They are really good characters though, with distinct personalities. I know this because its shoved down my throat. Also a really neat detail is all of them have different eye colors, it really makes them stand out.
This shows humor is really bad. Many of the jokes don't translate well or at all into English, but even the ones that do aren't funny at all.
"I am the tsuchinoko of Shima-Kitazawa" .. wtf does this even mean? You'd have to be lying to think this is funny. You aren't Japanese, and that's okay.
Speaking of that scene, it is just completely unintelligible and demonstrates the most annoying aspects of Bocchi's character. How would anyone perceive you as an attention whore? You have no friends anyways, nobody cares about you. The character writing is so bogus.

I just want to be real:
Bocchi is not just like you. Bocchi is a cute, high school girl with friends and is in a band. She may be a caricature of someone with social anxiety, but she has charisma. She has huge boobs that didn't make it apparently to the anime. She has a dog, a cute little sister and a nice mother and a father who we can't see his eyes because this show is deeply unserious.
Imagine that, imagine taking a show seriously when the only non-joke male character in the universe is being censored like he is in some porn to avoid some dissonance of my cute girl utopia. ITS HER FUCKING DAD. Look, I understand the desire to see through your own character flaws by projecting them onto cute anime girls, in that way they don't' seem like flaws anymore, more like cute quirks. But even though I get it, I find it saddening in a way.
