the funny thing about chainsawman is that MAPPA didnt actually put their a-team on it. instead they opted to go for mostly younger staff, and it is the directors first. they did this because they hoped it would better fit Tatsuki Fujimotos wild style and energy, and so far i think its paying off.

@@GatsuRage nah, in reality, Bocchi animation it is THAT good, the levels of detail and creativity make full use of the series core strenghts and its team, not only just the switches in styles, but how each of these are in a really high quality, and even when its more orthodox, its in a really great way, just look at the character acting on ep5 with the nijika and bocchi scene, ep 6 street performance, etc, it makes full use of being animated in a good way, with expressions and gags that cant be replicater irl to put an example of some level of detail, in episode 3, when bocchi runs away from kita after trying to talk and failing, she rans through a hallway, the animation is so detailed that you can see bocchi running into the wall, KICK OFF the wall and with the same momentum move to the other side of the hallway while her legs are twisting into the cartoonish spiral run, it was such small detail that was not needed as it could been a simple spiral run from the start, yet they did anyway, and its like that through the entire series

[@rivercochran8173]

The animation is god damn good honestly. As someone who has played bass for more than a year now, the way they animate everything is quite grounded(though I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate since I didn't really scrutinize it much and I'm not the best at playing. But the way it flows is definitely really realistic). And all the changes in art style, the small movements, it's honestly beautiful. Just really enjoying the show right now, and I'm hoping more people pick it up

[@adamsoft7831]

Bocchi barely even feels like it's about music most of the time. It's a masterful dissection of introversion itself, with some music along the way. I haven't seen K-on, but I feel like Bocchi is likely to be notably different in this way since people just seem to compare "girls making a band".

[@chainsawkas7545]

I always like to think bocchi as K-on with no tea time with beck vibes. Also never forget the gumball vibes.

@@adamsoft7831 I feel Gigguk rushed this out. If he was paying more attention he'd know that Bocchi the Rock! has practically no similarities to K-On! besides it being about cute girls playing in a band together. K-On! is completely different, but if you like wholesome anime and music it is well worth checking out.

[@adamsoft7831]

@@Zergonapal Thanks! I'll check it out. In Gigguk's defense, these are rarely full reviews. He normally only watches 1-3 before releasing these and they are more of a primer for the series at best. It's just weird here because it came out so late. That said, I feel like he basically just repeated what he said in his trailer reviews months ago on his other channel, so watching so few episodes seemingly didn't add much insight beyond what trailers said anyway.

While I’ve been enjoying the highly anticipated shows like Spy x Family’s 2nd season and Chainsaw Man. Bocchi the rock just somehow connected with me in a way that it quickly became my top anime this season and has even entered my top anime list of all time. I wish people would stop comparing it to K-on so much cause it’s so much more than that. And I’m saying that as someone who loved K-on a lot. The production quality, the attention to details in the instruments and music, the lovable characters, the hilarious comedy and occasional gags like when Bocchi glitched out were some of the funniest scenes I’ve seen in a long time in anime. So I hope everyone gives it a chance cause it’s really just a good time and has a lot of relatable scenes for a lot of people.

[@arha13]

The constant comparison to k-on is a disservice to both. So much talent, fun and great animation in both but they really aren’t very similar beyond the concept of cute girls in a band. Bocchi and k-on are both great for different reasons.

[@dragonfinn]

@@arha13 agreed. I do admit that I was one of those people that was going to watch bocchi anticipating it to be similar to k-on.

For me this season has been just perfection. Apart from the 2 big behemoths of this season Chainsaw Man and Bleach, you got Mob S3, My Hero S6, Spy Family Part 2, Uresei (which is still mind blowing to see an 70's anime getting a full proper remake), Blue Lock (even non sports anime fans are falling in love with this show and I don't blame then because it epic), Bocchi (a surprising unique and deep music and slice of life), Emmence of Shadow (all it needed was the "I am Atomic" line and that already made it a classic), Ark Knights (the way this anime is directed and the animation is just gorgeous alongside the interesting premise), To Your Eternity S2 (although the first few episodes had a bit of a pacing problem, this arc in S2 is gonna be S tier like the Gugu Arc in S1), Fuufu Ijou (a very wholesome and surprisingly a bit of a unique romance anime with thankfully no "Domestic GF" or "Rent a GF" bs and an actual human being pink haired girl) and several other pretty good animes we got this season both sequel and non sequel wise.

" Why did you make this video so fast Gigguk? I mean, it's only half the season gone "

[@znotetakureviews9138]

"Bocchi the Rock!" is my AOTS, and a contender for AOTY, frankly. It has so much visual creativity and daring in a premise that makes anxiety both funny and incredibly human.

[@megasimp1024]

it's almost scary how relatable it is too

[@josueroberto7356]

Bocchi the Rock is definitely the surprise of the season for me

[@Blazo_Djurovic]

Chansaw man might have the line "X is literaly me", but Bocchi is for many of us "literaly me". Gotta support fellow non functional person.

[@Totobi]

My favorite way of explaining bocchi is saying "is like K-on meets Nichijou". You can see that the people had as much fun working on it that we are having watching it. The production values for some of the gags is amazing. Definitely my pick for AotS.

[@dorymarshall5477]

Bro the entire chainsaw man bit was written excellently. I was rewatching this and still laughing my ass of. Well done!

[@nonen4733]

I'm loving CSM, Spy x Family, and Golden Kamuy this season, but the one show that I've been enjoying the most so far has been Bocchi the Rock. It animates the instruments properly, it has genuinely good character development and relatable characters, it has amazing music, and its approach on comedy through its visuals is so good its on par with nichijou. I hope people stop calling it "another K-on spinoff" because its much more than that. Please give it a chance.

[@Jon155mt]

Bleach is phenomenal this season

[@kurtdurante7964]

When you said it's visuals is on par with Nichijou, I knew that I gotta watch it

I don't care about any kind of backlash, I'm going to say it... Bocchi the Rock is just like K-On...but far better.

I like how the season where we have Chainsawman, Bleach returning, Mob psycho III, Gundam Mercury and yet the best show for me so far has been Bocchi. Idk if Garnt just hasn't watched enough of the show yet or he's just rushing it as usual at x2 speed cause he doesn't have time, but its a shame it isn't highlighted as much in this video.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

Bocchi definitely wins biggest surprise of the season. The material is good but what really elevates it is the anime execution, the team keeps doing weird experimental shit with it and I love it.

[@Til_What]

BOCCHI is my actual season highlight. It's been a while since I've laughed that much watching anime. The way they portrait social anxiety is very funny and tasteful.

[@blitxaac]

exactly, it was unexpected, but bocchi is my absolute favourite of the season, nothing has made me laugh (and WTF) this much since konosuba

[@theLikou1]

Something tells me you haven't watched enough of Bocchi the Rock to make an validity observation. This series is amazing on many points, it's creative as hell, the animation jokes are top notch and the main character is really good.

[@amazing2157channel]

Yea like I know it may not be his genre but the way he discussed the show felt half-hearted. I have to imagine it's one he watched at like 2x speed with low expectations. Didn't bring up the animation creativity, characterization or really anything specific, even kept saying "it looks good" like he asked for some opinions on it because he had none of his own.

[@bakailfrozen1944]

You can say this about any current airing anime cause of that Mid anime called chainsaw man stealing all the hype. Like seriously, why is csm this talked about? Such an average story...at least so far. But yes bocchi is highly slept on compared to others right now

[@eltioed5149]

@@bakailfrozen1944 fr jujutsu slayer man is getting all the hype and its unfair

[@HaxeRain]

what is more is, the way he praised CSM, is pretty much fitting for bocchi too, the production on Bocchi is really unreal in how technical it is and still gives us some off the wall and crazy ideas and gags, and not only is it funny, but the story itself is really good with a nice mix of humor and development, any show that can make viewers emotional, hyped and then die laughing is great, and ep 5 of bocchi just shows that for an example, literally, first ep is the weakest by virtue of being the first ep, not because its bad or weak itself but because it starts good and gets better each ep

[@shadebug]

CSM is good, it’s got some pacing issues but it’s getting into its stride and it’s looking like it could live up to the likes of jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer but Bocchi is firing on all cylinders and just keeps getting better. It’s got so many subtle gags and on rewatch I find myself getting excited for the gags I know are coming because they’re so good and they don’t disappoint

[@Toaster154_]

17:04 just want to point out that there is almost no CGI. Mappa’s twitter released frames of the scene and it was all drawn, only the zombies in the background were CGI. It’s just so well animated that people think it’s CGI lol

[@onlyagermanguy]

[@TheEmolano]

I've been following it since episode 3 and it's lovelly how it get more and more appreciated every week. I can see it becoming a comedy classic like Nichijou in the future, but the drama is algo great. Anime of the year so far for me.

[@AndySola]

That's strange. Everyone on Discord is talking about it.

[@wodthehunter8145]

[@Leonlion0305]

The summary is amazing. I've been watching plenty of them, we really are eating good this season. Bocchi the rock probably might be another one of the very few anime that animate instrument playing correctly, I can say that for drums not sure about other instrument. The social anxiety part is also spot on and hilarious

[@Keykey70]

Guitar is pretty damn accurate too, though the CG they use to pull off the bigger scenes of instrument animation looks awkward

[@thecubanbear5840]

This video was fantastic thank you

[@JumpmanStick]

Gigguk you never stop making me laugh 😂

[@benjaminlara8456]

I feel Gigguk undersold Bocchi. It has surprisingly become my undisputed AotS because it just doesn't seem to know how to miss with it's comedy and extremely creative and unconventional animation. Also the eponymous Bocchi is just a constant mood and I feel like any introvert will be able to relate to her in a spiritual level while also receiving psychological damage at every turn. The rest of the cast are also very strong: Ryo the quiet bassist is just a riot, Nijika the drummer is a literal angel and Kita the vocalist is just okay, I feel like we just need a bit more time with her. A very creative, very funny, very good show 11/10

[@Keykey70]

Bocchi by and large is so incredibly joyful and entertaining to watch. I bounced off K-on on the first episode but Bocchi had me hooked fast

As a music nerd I literally renewed my crunchyroll subscription for Bocchi the Rock

[@HaxeRain]

Honestly, on such a jam packed season, with big as hell names, the anime im constantly enjoying and waiting the most for each week, is Bocchi the Rock! and the craziest thing is, all the praise Gigguk said to CSM, is equally the same on Bocchi, the team and work they are doing with the series is something ive never seen on such a level before, the direction is so crazy that you can get crazy as hell ideas portrayed perfectly in such a setting that is "Girls making a band", and differently than K-on, it does explore more the aspect of the music industry and portrays it in a subtle way along with the series protagonist, where not only her, but her band members, are all relatable as hell, and also contrary to K-On, it develops more its characters, giving a sense of bocchi being an underdog you are rooting for to become less anxious, and when she makes progress, you can feel it, mixing great comedy and visual humor with equally good and touching scenes that make you yell cries of support or hype for bocchi the animation, scene composition, symbolism and juxtaposition usage, camera angles, live action props, refined and detailed scenes and movement, character acting, voice acting, everything is used to a really great degree that is insane, the director and the team come up with some super crazy ideas, that they simply go "why not?" and implement them and work themselves for them because they want to, honestly, some things like, making a zoetrope, making a pixelart sequence, making life real sequences, etc, arent "needed" but they do them anyway because they want to, the show is somehow, the most creative one this season in terms of production that i wouldnt feel weird if they had the voice actresses of the main band actually perform in live action for the final episode or make a gag with them in live action
