Bocchi the Rock!

Bocchi the Rock is a slice-of-life anime depicting the story of young rocker Hitori Goto, her artistic and musical journey, and most importantly, her difficulty in dealing with deep social anxiety. What makes the anime so special are primarily the handling of comic timing and the incredible use of animation to depict the protagonist's inner states. Script and creativity match perfectly in the realization of a multifaceted, entertaining show with whom to empathize. Good is also the handling of the entire cast of characters and their relationships, and excellent the handling of the theme at hand.

Super recommended, as this is an anime that many people will manage to find very relatable as well as inspirational.

Musically contagious, visually impressive and overcharged personality-wise. There's a lot of talent here!

But more than a successful little comedy, pretty animation and good use of different styles.. It is the excellent execution of a good emotional core, uplifting interactions and onlook on life that weights heavily on my heart, and the reason I can have this kind of connection. To me, it is more than just your average anime girls doing silly things together; but how it makes me think about myself and how things I wished were like for me and everyone around. I do feel my excitement peaked in the middle, leaving the ending to be lesser as a result.

But this studio knows how to tell a story through animation perfectly, and I wished to recommend this to everyone that has the time, and maybe a little doubt about anything. The feeling it leaves you with is how you finish with a "good day".

At first I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started watching this anime. But wow, Bocchi the Rock absolutely amazed me! I feel like it accomplished everything it was meant to be. From Bocchi being a relatable character to the details of her music career being done in such a nice paced and detailed way. Something that I enjoyed was that the funny moments actually gave me some good laughs! I have seen so many funny moments in animes that are way too unfunny. But Bocchi the Rock changed that for me. I never thought I would become such a fan of this anime. I rarely give anything 10 stars. But Bocchi the Rock got me to the point in which I feel like it deserves 10 stars. This anime is a must watch!

You know, I love when an anime reminds me why I even like anime in the first place, as 'Bocchi the rock' is honestly the perfect comfort show, it's actually funny, (albeit a little weird sometimes), it got lots of references to other anime, great animation, and it's super relatable to its target audience too, socially awkward weebs who smell like crap and never leave their room. (Which I'm allowed to say, since I'm one and no... I'm not proud of it)

It's basically 'K-on!' If Tomoko from 'Watamote' was the main character of that anime, but in my opinion, 'Bocchi' is better than both of these anime combined, and I do like the other two but 'bocchi' is just the funniest anime out of the three (and also it has way better social anxiety representation than 'Watamote'), and while 'Bocchi' is very much a comedy anime, it got it's slower moments (in a good way), and it's just a lighthearted and comforting watch all around.

It was close to the end of the year of 2022, I was feeling bored out of my mind with nothing to do, so I decided to watch this random anime that piqued my interest, it seems funny and entertaining.

Fast forward 2 years later after watching the show, I known own a guitar is my second biggest hobby, and is obsessively trying to learn kessokuband's music.

This anime is truly the pinnacle of everything, relatable characters, great animation and humor. LEGENDARY MUSIC, it's just so perfect.

As an introvert. Bocchi gave me hope, that even as a socially anxious, if I played the guitar enough, I could shine like anyone else!

And not just Bocchi, other characters like Nijika, Ryo, I found tiny resemblances of myself, and it helped me try to better analyze who I am, and what steps I should take in order to counter this social anxiety that's making me struggle to make meaningful connecitons.

And kessokuaband's music, has carried, no, accompanied, walked side-by-side with me, through all my tough times. It's safe to say, that if I hadn't watched this show, I would've been a wildly different person.

One of my dreams is now, to play in a band, Thank you Bocchi, Ryo, Nijika, and Kita

Thank you Aki Hamaji Thank you AKFG Thank you to all who worked on this show Thank you to all who worked kessokuband's music And last but not least, thank you to myself, who decided to watch this show.
