Bocchi The Rock (Maid) Episode 11 Reaction | AVR2

[@sammed473]

3:27 Filipino subscriber here from Philippines! When we also celebrate our school's anniversary, they tend to throw in a "special day" for us like Bocchi's school's festival. So for a month before that, we prepare the materials, the classroom/spot that we will use. The lectures/sched for that month were halved to give time for us to prepare for the school's anniv. Those times, we had horror booth, movie booth, video game booth (some pips are rich they tended to bring thier PlayStations in school with controllers), sports booth, and lots of food stalls! So, I think this is common for us in Asia, particularly Southeast, I don't know others tho...

Thanks for sharing your experience in these types of events!

It's a manga adaptation. As someone who read the source first, I think it's already good on its own. But the adaptation added even more and led the series to this unprecedented success. Most of the time, they are not this blessed and can only hope for a 1:1 story retelling at best.

When the girls go looking for Bocchi and they dress up and act like they're looking for a wild animal, it's a reference to a popular Japanese variety show called Darwin's Amazing Animals. 12:00 It's a reference to a popular MV called Hot Limit by the ever popular T.M.Revolution.

3:27 It's not that there's a focus on horror per se, it's just that haunted houses are kind of staple at these kinds of events because theoretically each class is free to do whatever attraction they want to do but realistically there are only so many kinds of things a bunch of high schoolers can do with a limited budget and some cardboard and plywood, so you usually get a bunch of haunted houses, random assortments of carnival attractions, or some variation of a cafe.

25:01 Bocchi the Rock! is based from a 4-koma manga, so they have source material for it. The music/song though in the episodes we see them playing are anime original! We do not see them in the manga nor hear it of course. So kudos to the production staff for making these songs with Kessoku Band. As for the sequels, the Bocchi the Rock! director was busy with Frieren (ikr, he directed Frieren too! Two masterpieces!) and the recap movies so they haven't still announce for Bocchi season 2.

I got confused and thought I remembered Bocchi winning Best Original Anime at the AAs this year... Bocchi won Best Slice of Life and Buddy Daddies won Best Original Anime... Thanks for the clarification!

17:50 Haven’t gone to one before, but from what I interpret, the days they have these events, it’s just a free for all, where visitors can go to any event or class/venue they want, so the concert is likely just another event (albeit a larger one) on the roster. That’s why I think in anime they sometimes see which class or venue was more “popular” than others (and it’s usually the maid cafe or something).

In high school when I couldn't take it I just snuck into the school library, found a quiet corner, and read books. No staff ever suspected you were cutting class to do something so studious. (I do wonder why our high school had text books on things like "Chemical and Biological Warfare" complete with instructions on home manufacture of napalm, though.

[@TheGenreVerse]

WOW! Going to the library is a GREAT way to escape...

[@sammed473]

1 minute ago is crazy! Excited for the final episode!

Tbh maid sama is a good romcom for the maid Genre lol

BTR is based on a 4-koma manga, I don't read it (currently) but I've heard there's currently enough material for another season and some more. I think the flashing of the empty locations was just to show the cast all together at their performance... and lonesome Jimihen waiting at the door.

[@TheGenreVerse]

I confused who I thought won Best Original Anime at the AAs this year... Oops. Buddy Daddies was the actual winner of that category and I was VERY happy it did lol.

You can catch most of part 1 here (kzbin.info/aero/PL3ErW84iaAxrzxXqFatwUpUulqtKapeVF). We never released the episode 7 reaction and I'm thinking of rewatching 8 and 9 and releasing them (as rewatch reactions) before going to part 2 & 3... We really enjoyed this show.
