Bocchi the Rock just casually comes out in one of the most hype seasons anime have ever seen with shows like Bleach:TYBW, CSM, Spy x Family Part 2, Mob Psycho 100 ss3, Golden Kamuy 4th season.

[@sorathecrow751]

"Slice of life" doesn't really do it justice. It's not like K-On where 90% of it is characters procrastinating and goofing off and accomplishing nothing. This is a group of musicians that actually have goals and are driven to accomplish them. It's a music anime, more than anything else.

To be fair, I'm actually quite worried about a second season for that anime. I mean it came in so out of nowhere and set a bar so high that the expectation is now at an all-time high. I'm not wishing for it to fail, far from that, but it's something that always scares me.

[@r3b0x91]

I agree with you but I already see the shadows of a fantastic season in the final episode of Bocchi. Kita said she wanted to be someone who could closely support Bocchi. Bocchi never really had her solo. Bocchi bought a new guitar and NEVER played it. Ryo suggesting to play the guitar but Nijika telling Bocchi to save playing it for tomorrow. There was just so much foreshadowing in that episode that I thought they were pulling our legs and there was gonna be a 13th episode.

[@nikel-]

Looking at how Bofuri S2 is doing, I'm getting nervous as well. Bofuri didn't get that much of praise compared to BTR yet somehow people behind it butchered its third episode What I'm trying to say is that once the studio showed love and passion onto this one project and people do love it, the burden its sequel carries is going to be heavy since people would expect them to deliver it on the same level they initially did

[@dawnseeker176]

@@nikel- honestly i think if its the same team working on it. they could and would pull it off. the director let the artists creativity flow like a river something that many directors and studios DON'T do. all the poeple working on this anime found it to be a very fun time. i imagine if offered the chance to make a second season with the same director at the helm they would JUMP at the chance to do it again.

[@nguyentrunghieu5674]

To me, 《bocchi the rock》 is S tier not because of its relatability, but its direction and passion the crew behind the show gives it. Try reading the manga, you will find out how incredibly bare bone and simple it is, no offense to the mangaka. It is a 4-koma style of manga, with each segment tells a different story. Yet the anime transforms that source of material into something amazing. Let's compare 《Senryuu Shoujo》to 《Bocchi the Rock》. Both are 4-koma manga and have gotten their anime adaptation with the same time length. 《Senryuu Shoujo》anime follows closely to the original material, barely changes anything, which is nice and respectful toward the mangaka. However, because of this, the staff has no way other than to slow the pace of the overall anime, which imo is deadly to the 4-koma style and overall anime experience, making it boring to watch and essentially forcing viewers to skip and eventually stop watching. I immediately got bored after the first 10 minutes in and couldn't be bothered to continue on. Meanwhile, with 《Bocchi the Rock》, the staff, instead of just using the base material, adds in their own taste of improvisation and creativity. For example, in the 《House visit》episode, the entire Bocchi's parents interaction is completely original to the anime, which makes it very enjoyable and properly paced instead of slowing it down in order to complete the time requirement. Not only that, there are parts where the whole team actually goes out and take pictures and films in real life to add to the anime, making it much more engaging and entertaining to watch. Furthermore, they also go all out to actually put in and continuously alternate multiple art styles, which is incredibly rare for anime nowadays, which allows for various types of emotions and situations while being fun and enjoyable. Overall, I would say 《Bocchi the Rock》is an incredible surprise for this season, and definitely deserves S-tier and every slice of life, comedy style anime should take this as a prime example of how to make an anime adaptation good and entertaining.

The biggest and deciding difference between K-ON an Bocchi The Rock is the setting. K-ON takes place in a highschool because they are in a music club, while Kessoku Band in Bocchi The Rock is a legit band so thats why they spend their time more in the livehouse. Thats why some people enjoy K-ON more than Bocchi and why some people enjoy Bocchi more thay K-ON. The friendship between the cast is the most important thing in K-ON, thats why it takes place in highschool, while the band and music is the centerpiece in Bocchi The Rock, shown by their hangout place; a livehouse. For someone who wants an anime that really focuses on the music and band aspect, they might enjoy Bocchi The Rock more. For someone who wants a cute and relaxing slice-of-life anime where the music takes second place, K-ON is probably their choice. I hope Bocchi gets a second and third season, and i wish it goes with a bang like K-ON. Both are masterpieces of anime.

[@ezra9401]

K-on did not cover the processes and perils of forming and playing with a band, it's a show that shows school life through forming a band but not about the band that much outside of the songs. Bocchi really captures what all band wannabes (including yours truly) had to go through, all the while showing the real personalities of each band members. For that Garnt's right this show is fuckin top tier AAA type slice of life, coming of age band anime like how Blue Period is with art.

[@dawnseeker176]

i used to be a Shounen Junkie once upon a time. looked down on slice of life. i was also a dub only thinking all jp dubs were high pitched voices that didn't fit the character (thank japanese goku for that misunderstanding) but ironically it was Deltora Quest's adaption (terrible adaption to be honest but i watched it because it was my favorite book series) season 1 was dubbed but season 2 was only available in sub. i couldn't handle not knowing so i bit the bullet, jumped in, and to my surprise the voices weren't like i imagined them to be. they fit the characters and there was no out of character high pitched voices. thus it took a shitty anime adaption that i will never watch again to cure my dub only misunderstanding. this opened me up to enjoying subbed anime as well...Buuuuuut i was still a Shounen Junkie so it was limited to action packed fight anime. then i found the dubbed version of the original Kino's Journey. it had fight scenes that satisfied my Shounen Junkie urges but it also had philosophical questions and got my brain thinking, it was down to earth and it opened my eyes to the fact that i had been ignorant to. SoL anime DOES have story its just not your conventional kind. its varied in the ways it conveys its story but they all tell a story. this all was long ago. if you are still here the point is i know that mindset of ACTION FLASHY FIGHTS GOOD no flashy fights bad. i pity those still stuck with that mindset. i don't look down on all Shounen (just the ones i don't like after having tried them.) like a SoL puritan i enjoy a good Shounen anime just like i always have. but i also enjoy and don't shun the SoL genre like a Shounen Junkie. i am just an anime fan. sub or dub war i belong to neither side and find the war meaningless. genre, studio, the VA, none of that will prevent me from pursuing an interesting summery. i enjoy what i enjoy. give me a summery and if i find it interesting i will give the first episode a watch if it catches me i will gladly continue if not i will still give it 2 more chances to do so before i quit.

I think not many people would agree with me, but all four main Kessoku girls are kinda relatable in a way. And yes, not just Bocchi. -> Kita, despite being a social girl who can easily connect to people, and be able to sing in front of crowds, still felt like she didn't contribute much. Hell, even Nijika and Ryou also felt the same. They need to improve not just individually, but also as a team. -> Nerds would relate to the urge to explain facts that interested them the way Ryou did 😂🤣 -> People who had shy introverted friend/s would relate to how the rest of Kessoku girls treated Bocchi.

The interesting thing is, Kita doesn't look like it at first, but she is the most similar to Bocchi in a sense, she does have her own type of social anxiety, but the way she faces things is by throwing and forcing herself to situations, she does half assing at times and she knows it, which is also a neat detail how, among the band, both of these two are in the same year and same school, compared to Ryo and Nijika who are one year older and different school, and she keeps messing up at times, buying the wrong instrument, episode 10, and other times more, Kita extrovert side is the kind of having many friends but not close enough, and in Bocchi she has someone that truly is close to her and sticks with her, which makes their dynamic so fun and wholesome Nijika is also a different type, she is a more calm extrovert but she also knows how to keep her distance and take time for herself, we even see it when everyone going about their holidays, she spent most of it in the clubhouse or at home working, while Ryo is the most introvert of them and shows how a healthy introversion is, it's not something bad, it's just a way she is, where she gets more outspoken or crazy when it comes to things she likes, the show really makes a good way to show us this with no need to giving us a text wall about it, and develops them further as it goes

Slice of Life surprised me twice this year, and they're even related. Slow Loop was the winter show that was much more than just cute girls fishing, but became an introspective series about family. Bocchi was one of the ultimate expressions of anime as a medium and a wonderful introvert music series. And they're both in the same series of magazines and feature quick cameos in each series (Kessoku Band playing in a show in Slow Loop and the main characters from Slow Loop on the cellphone charms of SICK HACK's guitarist).

Bocchi is also pretty accurate to what it’s like trying to make it in the indie music scene. It’s hard and draining and generally speaking it won’t work out(speaking from experience of being in 3 bands where it didn’t work out). It’s nice to see a music anime that really dives into that aspect.

[@Banzai431]

It sorta surprised me as well how good it is. Just watched it on a whim and got caught up in it.

[@rocapbg9518]

I am so glad Bocchi is getting the love it deserves. I thought it would fly under the radar but it really started getting popular, especially towards the end of the season.

[@fahryhamzah5200]

There's so many aspects that can relate to your life, that's why really love this show.

[@RuLer241]

Other anime that I watched about introverted characters I wasn't able to connect to them the same way I did with bocchi the rock, it's differently an S tier 👏

[@pehpehkia]

Everyone on stream was waiting for this moment. We were so nervous that BTR was gonna be put into lower tiers but boy oh boy bocchi getting S tier made my entire year

[@shtomp]

Same. I was so hyped up for Chainsaw man since they announced it last year only for a random SOL anime to overshadow it in whatever I'm looking forward to each week. CSM is great but bocchi the rock was just insanely amazing. Reminded me of nichijou where animators are just so random and free

[@mito-pb8qg]

I felt that Nichijou craziness as well. Brilliant, brilliant shows, these two. Way up high on my Mt. Olympus of favorite shows.

I've somewhat gotten over my introvertedness, (I'm fkin 27) but I sht you not when they showed the moment she was unable to enter Starpucks. I had severe flashbacks to my highschool complete with my classmates waiting inside asking me what I want and all I can say is "Strawberries." And they all understood what I needed.

[@vansiar9573]

My favourite anime of this season and fav SOL of the year goes to!: 6:14 Boki The Rock

[@Joeumadd]

Slice of Life is the perfect medium to do really expressive shit to really make a series stand out. Its a damn shame so many just resort to "Here's some High schoolers doing basic Anime troupes but with small twists". I used to like the genre but onced I realized most of them are just some variation of K-on with or without the band I stopped until Bocchi came out

[@xoroniac]

bro the fandom is just as goated as the anime itself, like theyre so creative and the memes and the edits and animatics all are just so cool; gotta be one of my fav fandoms

[@arad4rling401]

I've been glad he put on B tier when he tell us he not fan of SoL genre, when he put Bocchi the rock S tier. Damn, huge respect

[@siddharthgaur2205]

The best thing about the show is not only does it focus on character but it also shows the struggle of the new budding band . Ahh and Ryo and Bocchi are my favourite characters. And i love that Eva reference Bocchi staring at the ceiling.

[@reveriesend4668]

CGDCT is just the final stage of growth of anime viewers. Gigguk is just slowly getting there. and well, Bocchi did come in the right time for a lot of people, and doing the right things to slowly pull those new mobs of anime watchers there. somebody should ask him to rewatch K-On! some tme after Bocchi Season 2 is done.

[@DouggieDaDucker]

Watching Bocchi brought me back to watching Nichijou which brought me a tear to my eye from the over the top comedy and animation that it uses!

[@Padenjs]

I generally dislike SOL. But I would say nichijou is maybe my all time favorite anime. And this show did such a great job scratching that itch.

[@pingu6338]

Chillz for Bocchi.. literally not on my radar until I saw the ratings ratings and not saw Bleach and Chainsaw Man on top that I had to check it out and I'm glad I checked it out

[@omar_sayan1425]

I feel the same way this is the fucking best anime of slice of live

[@blueblazedemon]

I just watched the first ep and her anxiety hit me it was painful af...like sometimes I'm over here wanting to make friends but I can't talk to people so I wear anime clothing while watching anime slightly glancing around to see if someone would approach me since I couldn't do it so watching bocchi do all that it was literally painful it was funny but I saw myself doing that this anime reminds me of watemote

[@heyreefes]

I cried a lot watching bocchi. It has become my favourite of all.

[@elbalerto]

the youtube algorithm gods have blessed gellal. i don't remember watching gellal vids, i am not subscribed, i have been ignoring this video for the past week, but youtube will just not stop putting this video in my feed!

[@lethaldj13]

the current part in the manga now, theres more music / band stuff, lesser social anxiety stuff, its still there but bocchi's journey is all about getting over it anyways!

[@jakeking974]

Yep, Bocchi the Rock is on a different level. Sure, eventually CSM will make me cry because of certain events that happen in the story, but that's probably season 2 if not 3. Yeah, this season Mob made me cry when I thought Dimple was gone, but nothing has resonated with me like Bocchi the Rock since I watched TTGL and learned to love humanity. She literally me fr fr, only she's actually better. Yeah, the manic depressive social outcast that is Bocchi made more progress in 12 episodes than I have in over half a decade. And that's not even mentioning how SICK "That Band" is for a song, I've unironically watched that part over ten times and I finished the anime a week ago.

[@jiejoe8979]

I was sold the moment i saw the 3D blender scene lmao

[@Dorian_Scott]

Bruh, I was about to mald if he kept Bocchi in the mid tiers lol. I'm so glad that Garnt placed it in the "S" tier. It's probably one of the best slice-of-life anime I've ever seen. As much as I *_love_* "K-ON," I can kinda understand why Garnt didn't really like it. Unlike Bocchi, which focuses on an actual band who has goals that they *_want_* to accomplish, "K-ON" was pretty much the epidimy of "cute girls doing cute things." And because Yui and co were in an after school club and were not as productive as the girls in "Bocchi the Rock," you can't really connect with it as much. Another thing I loved about "Bocchi the Rock" was the way that it tackled social anxiety through the use of over-the-top animations. Not only is it visually appealing, but it hits you harder than most other anime that had already tackled similar topics. Even the writing got a laugh out of me a few times. Especially whenever Ryo is on screen. And do I even have to mention the *amazing* music lol?

[@suntzu4607]

The difference between K-On and Bocchi The Rock is while both have cute girls doing cute things moments, Bocchi The Rock's characters had actual goals and you can see their progress throughout the season from recruiting Bocchi, making songs, auditioning, and performing. The animation variety just increased the value of the show more and the comedic effect. Bocchi as a protagonist worked really well where at first, she's just a girl getting pulled along the story but slowly trying to develop herself along the way. And let's not forget the likeable members of the Kessoku band. They're not just one-dimensional characters to fill the typical band trope, they have personalities and charm of their own.
