At the beginning, I self inserted as Bocchi
In the end, I looked up to Bocchi, she is what I want to be.
Even though this anime is light hearted and funny, the themes of Bocchi's loneliness and strive to get out of it is the most REALISTIC portrayal I've ever seen (even if it is exaggerated for comedic effect). The difference of Ryou's 'loner personality' vs Bocchi's 'loneliness' is what really shocked me. I've never seen a distinction of the two types in anime and it's what sealed the deal for this anime. The character development is beautiful too, everything is a slow climb, taking one (hard) step at a time. As these steps seem simple to others, it's a hurdle for Bocchi.
I can say that this anime unironically changed my life for the better. 10/10 in all parts of this anime, its creative, funny and realistic.
