Bocchi The Rock Episode 1 Reaction: WE LOVE IT!!! | AVR2

[@UCpkYRJqLxnyFOA]

"Kessoku bando" means "Zip Tie" in Japanese. "Kessoku" means "unity" in Japanese. And their band name is "Kessoku band". Like tying everyone together to form a united group. Band is pronounced "bando" in Japanese, so the first thing Hotori thought of when she heard the name was "Zip tie" instead of "Unity Band."

[@TheGenreVerse]

THANKS!

[@UCpkYRJqLxnyFOA]

@@TheGenreVerse I've reorganized what I've said so that you can better understand its meaning, sorry my English is a bit crappy 😂😂

[@TheGenreVerse]

No sweat. Thanks again for sharing!

[@-quoreo-7196]

​@@TheGenreVerse Also, when Ryo replied with "It's brilliant" is a pun because "It's brilliant (or masterpiece)" is Kessaku in Japanese, which sounds like Kessoku.

[@TheCsel]

It’s like naming your musical band something like “rubber band “ 😅

[@ElatedBlue]

22:27 - Her name is Hitori, hitori bocchi means 'all alone' - Kessoku Band is just using the 'band' as a double entendre; Band as in a rock band and band as in a wrist band. Kessoku means unity, but kessoku band means zip tie. So they could be 'Unity Band' as a name, but it just sounds like their name is 'zip tie' instead. Idk if my explanation made sense, but there you go!

FYI: Bocchi The Rock! won as ANIME OF THE YEAR in 2022 on several award giving bodies. 😊

[@gojojyrking1996]

This show was unexpectedly good when it first aired and got really popular quickly. This show was also the directors directorial debut for a whole show instead of just episode directing. I can def say that he did absolutely great on this and the crazy thing is that he also had his second directorial role for a show last year which was frieren. The dude had gone 2/2 in directing shows. Ive given both Bocchi and frieren a 10/10

[@pbgamer25]

You guys are gonna have SO MUCH FUN with this. Didn't expect to see this show here but i'm glad you guys are watching it LOL

[@TheGenreVerse]

Nobody expects The GenreVerse!

[@animegamed]

This anime has the same director with Frieren He is called saito only 21 years old After he finishing Frieren s1 he back to cloverworks studio to make special movie for bocchi after that he gonna start s2 of Frieren

[@TheGenreVerse]

HURRY HURRY HURRY 😆

[@oskarbergene1733]

Huh, that is not true. Saitou is 31, also there is no confirmation about the future of either show. For all we now he might do something completely different, just saying

[@Jose-yn5lr]

I didn't know you would relate this much with the anime, specially Christine, although she always gives the introvert type of vibe, I never pictured her as being shy. I love this anime because all of Bocchi's reactions are out loud, for comedy sake, and in real life you can't just say what you are thinking while having social anxiety, so I always find it funny. 23:45 a lot of times I also ran out of battery in this type of "gatherings" and a lot of times I have lost myself in the city for randomly disappearing from the "group" that I am with. Anyway, I am glad you are reacting to this, one of my favorite animes for sure

[@keyxhunter]

19:10 Did not expect that Nomura/Kingdom Hearts mention LOL but I love the comparison and the fact that I'm not the only one whose brain jumps to that thought. Now that you said it I noticed the Keyblade in the back and FF stuff on the channel, I'm liking the vibes :)

[@TheGenreVerse]

YAY! I was there... at lunch in high school, with my copy of PSM (PlayStation Magazine) that had the first blurb about KH I had seen. My friends and I, including Brian, were floored at the very idea. We laughed at it! Then, when it released, I rented it... and after my rental period, I bought it... same day. Glad you are enjoying the content!

[@gilgameshlfx7006]

Just like people mentioned in the comments Starry is based in a real clubhouse in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, Japan. In fact almost all place shown in the show is based on real places. Talked about real stuff, the instruments? Yeah they are based in actual instruments.

[@fiat1314]

The pedals, amps and other music gear is based on real gear as well.

[@marcostakumi]

Bocchi, one of the best things I've ever watched.

[@Drillz_YT]

love your reaction, keep up the good work both of you! ❤

[@TheGenreVerse]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Sorry we've been a bit behind this past 10 days or so...

[@Raidanzoup]

I first watched this series from New Year's Eve 2022 to New Year's Day 2023, and after the first time I kept rewatching it (sometimes in full, with people doing uncut reactions) for months going forward. I'm definitely down to hang

[@TheGenreVerse]

Glad to have you join the journey... again! lol

[@Tacticalmetdown]

"Pretty wholesome" Famous last word😂

[@TheGenreVerse]

They sure can be...

[@OneeCh4n]

Sometimes life does hand you things that you desire for a long time. For Bocchi, it was looking for a band and outta nowhere Nijika came and asked. Similar thing happened to me but not exactly for music/band, but rather for sports. I wanted to play Volleyball for a long time, introvert me won't let me go to some random gym and ask to random people to play. However, a fateful day, at work, a co-worker that I'd just met just blurted out, "who wants to play Volleyball", during lunch... I immediately said yes! Now I'm regularly playing, doing the thing I love doing. So yes, you can say that part of Nijika approaching her is realistic.

[@OpeningYugioh]

bocchi was the totally out of left field dark horse of the season when it aired people were expecting a cute girls do cute things anime but got a 10/10 masterpiece show. expect every episode to be hilarious/serious/relatable and just wtf sometimes lol

[@sammed473]

Glad you are reacting to this masterpiece! Onward to episode 2 ❤

[@plsbanhackers9031]

3:35 we are about the same age, why do you have to talk like we’re old 😂

[@TheGenreVerse]

We're turning 40 soon... Like, really soon! 😂

[@sparkfuse1379]

GOATED SERIES, also starry is a real place (different name ofc), after this series the place is booming for picture spot

[@TheGenreVerse]

Very cool!

[@Chinese_Name]

The club Starry is real and also Bocchi The Rock has 4 ending songs

[@gojojyrking1996]

Oh maaaan, I love this show.

[@ivans2578]

the names of the girls are based on the names of the members of a famous japanese band Asian Kung Fu Generation

[@TheGenreVerse]

They're on my playlist! I think Christine listens to more stuff from them though... I need to add some more!

[@Jose-yn5lr]

Let's go!!!! Peak anime, definitely the Anime I can relate the most, unfortunately

[@KimForsberg]

This is an amazing show.

[@TheGenreVerse]

💯

[@adamyoung6797]

Your old couple pictures are so cute!

[@TheGenreVerse]

Thanks

[@astro_morph]

Here we go, the she's just like me fr anime, oh shit she's just like me 😞

[@TheGenreVerse]

??? Are you picking on Christine or ISS this kinda tongue-in-cheek?

[@astro_morph]

@@TheGenreVerse Tongue in cheek thing. A lot of folks are easily able to relate to some aspects of Bocchi, maybe not on the extreme but little behaviors they see that mirrors to some extent

[@theviewer9438]

What a good show, hope u enjoy it 😊

[@zerovidas401]

finaly!! this anime is peak bro

[@TheGenreVerse]

We're in love with it!

[@Writer-Two]

Oh this show is just one of the funniest things out there 😂

[@TheGenreVerse]

It's great!

[@LOKBLUDOM3N]

6:46 Nah, try ''None of these girls.''

[@TheGenreVerse]

Awww, so sad... Lol

[@LOKBLUDOM3N]

@@TheGenreVerse Not really. The band is the entire relationship. So it's far from sad. lol

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

Yes I am judging Judging by those guitars/bass hanging on the background You will like this show 😂

[@aj-mindalex1448]

[@Ryoji01]

Queso cubano desu!!!! 😋

[@TheGenreVerse]

Not sure I understand the reference...

[@papagolfwhiskey]

Well to be honest it would have been more like 16 for me. oh wait let's do the math... 1994-1966=28, end of middle school was age 14. 28-14 = 14... oooh... maybe an eccentric aunt?

[@TheGenreVerse]

LMAO

[@papagolfwhiskey]

@@TheGenreVerse I could be the reason you were corrupted with anime like I did with my real niece and nephew. also put my nephew onto Rammstein

[@TheGenreVerse]

Lol. My official introduction to anime via friend was corruption enough... One day in 1996: Ninja Scroll, DBZ Tree of Might, and Street Fighter II The Movie... Then a few days later, my first harem anime with Tenchi 😆

[@papagolfwhiskey]

Good god I'm old enough to be your MOM!

[@TheGenreVerse]

My mom had me at 19 so... Sure. 😂

[@zerobits4357]

I just love this anime, I hope you like it

[@TheGenreVerse]

We do so far...
