[@Equinox1066]

The stupidest part about this take was his objective wrongness about social anxiety. How can you in one breath say you’ve never had it and don’t relate, and then in another say that the show is objectively wrong about social anxiety and that it’s unrealistic? It’s very realistic about how it feels, and as someone that performs on stage, how she is having panic attacks before going on, and then in the zone while performing is 100% true to life.

[@cantinadudes]

I second this. Have been dealing with social anxiety all my life and while its sometimes exaggerated for comedic effect, the underlying thoughts and panic she experiences is completely realistic. I often freeze in public if people look at me for too long and for him to say its unrealistic is almost insulting, cause it shows that he has no empathy for people with social anxiety

[@michaelhendri1468]

While some parts in bocchi is being exaggerated, most of them is relatable and realistically happened.

[@diatomicfawn1141]

Yeah bro, like I’m also a musician and the first gigs are nerve wracking but the way it is all portrayed is so real and I really can’t even fathom how Joey who also is supposed to be a musician said the soundtrack is mid and is just a cheap K-ON wham it is the actual opposite, like K-ON at most is ok, and bocchi actually has plot, I thinks this is the worst take Joey has ever had by a fucking mile

[@torahibiki]

​@@cantinadudesbut why? Freezing and being awkward in public isn't anxiety, it's just you not knowing hoe to talk to people. I kind of dislike people pretending it is. Real anxiety is when you feel you're trapped, like if you were in a well with walls all around you with no way to climb out, and progressively gets deeper and darker. That you feel a weight on your chest that will eventually crush you. The feeling to run at full speed pushing your body to the limit just to prove to yourself that you're not having a heart attack, but at the same time being scared to move. Constantly feeling dizzy, disoriented, and feeble 24/7. And progressively thinking that you will never get better and eventually thinking to yourself that the only way out is suicide. That's anxiety, those are panic attacks. Not some kid being awkward at not knowing what to say or how to interact with people. Because they were too lazy or unmotivated to talk to people, whenever family came over or school opened. And parents are at fault too because they don't teach kids how to interact with others. They just give a computer, a phone, or a tablet and their minds develop without human interaction. Humans need interactions. That's how we evolved. Its coded into our brains. And before you say stuff, like other people treated you wrong, or got bullied, and that's why you are so awkward, etc. That's just how it is. You're not a 100 dollar bill that everyone is going to like. Everyone has people whol both like them or hate them. But interactions is how to weed the good from the bad.

I mean it's the same amount of plot every sol has. Bocchi didn't really have huge Progression off stage. On stage yeah she started to perform but even at the end of the show she still was finding it hard to open up to her own band mates. I think it's mainly coz the comedic aspects of this show really depend kn her social awkwardness being potrayed in various ways. And if they give her significant progress it'll completely kill off the vibes of the show.

[@XPurpleVortex]

@d4nkdesu anyone that far down the rabbit hole of social anxiety as bocchi is NOT fixing that shit anytime soon. Also that's not really true about her only progressing on stage.

While the take on the anime itself is atrocious, the one moment I actually felt disgust is when Joey was telling people at a con that they don't have social anxiety because they're at the con and raising their hand after a question was asked. Criticizing a show is one thing. Telling someone else they don't have X mental health issue "because they don't look like it" or whatever, is actually fucking cringe. And I think that sheds a light on his opinion on Bocchi as well. Joey THINKS he understands social anxiety, but he's just completely wrong about it, and it looks like he just refuses to learn. Which... ugh... I don't hate him, but man, in my eyes, he really went from "He's a cool guy, he has a successful career, he does things in multiple areas, he makes pretty good videos, etc." to "Oh... He's just an average dude..." (Note : By that I mean, he feels like a random poster on Reddit, not someone who got millions of subscribers by making informative videos, interviews, etc.) I'm not mad.

I will never enjoy people who don’t have an anxiety disorder telling me and others who actually suffer from them how the disorder works. I was horrible in social situations. If I expect an interaction, sometimes even if I don’t, I plan for it. Run through every scenario I can, what they might say, and how I can act and react so they won’t hate me by the end of it. It’s very all-consuming, at least in my experience with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). That didn’t stop me from performing. In fact, I think it pushed me to perform. I did theatre, I did show choir, and I auditioned for big roles and solos, and sometimes even got them. As someone with anxiety, severe anxiety at that, I had never feel more unburdened or clear headed than when I was performing my blocking and singing my lines. It’s okay to have opinions.

[Warning: for those that don’t want to read this, look below my comment] As someone who watched both K-ON and BTR and has liked both of them a lot… they are COMPLETELY different. I like K-ON because of the vibes and believe it or not, there is meaning and plot progression that’s hidden behind the cute anime girl facade. I like Bocchi because, well, it’s relatable. But the story also does have a progression, which is her having extreme social anxiety while trying to figure out how to make friends and not feel like she’ll turn into a failure to society. She combats this by playing guitar and forming a band with friends she made through other people with the same interests. How the characters interact with each other and how they go about playing in a band are a completely different way than how K-ON did it, they’re basically the opposite story wise! I’m trying so hard because Joey used to be the man I could turn to for anime advice, yes, more than Garnt.

Her problem is she's too scared to make the first move, always being passive, but after she joined Kessoku, she began to realize her dreams and started to take initiative and i think that's wonderful. Also, calling bocchi a k-on clone is so wrong it's actually insulting.

[@EyesDontCry]

There's 2 things that can happen, someone can have just a different opinion and while you obviously disagree, that's fine. But then sometimes people completely misrepresent a show based on a skewed perspective. For example I think joey saying the music is bad is fine, I disagree but sure if he didn't like it whatever, but then saying stuff like "there's no plot progression" is just blatantly false as someone who watched the show, the entire point is that bocchi (her name literally means alone) is really good at guitar already but she's got crippling social anxiety. And we aren't talking cute anime social anxiety where they are just shy, she has straight up spasms when confronted with the idea of social interaction. It's not really a spoiler, but yeah she improves and gets the courage to perform in her own way due to the help of her new found friends and band mates who encourage her and improve their skills at the same time. This is literally plot progression, whether you like the plot is another story but you can't just say her making friends isn't plot progression when her entire character is being a complete loner lacking in social skills, and that friendship leads her to develop as a character too. To reiterate, there's nothing wrong with a difference of opinion, but that opinion should be based on what's true and if it's based on something that's false, it's fair to say that opinion is faulty and should be altered based on the facts of the matter.

[@thisdude9363]

Joey hasn't had a good opinion in years. Dude's just a tital narcissist who i don't believe still enjoys anime, but is stuck with the persona he's built.

[@NihongoWakannai]

Yeah, the arrogance with which he presents his takes just makes them annoying.

Bocchi makes a solo (after years of practice with the guitar) This man: NOT REALISTIC>:( Other anime with talking animals, lazer beams coming out of characters' eyes, flying, going to space with no protection, lifting mountains with one finger. This guy: It's because it's anime guys, not supposed to always be realistic 🤗

[@aahiljcat]

as both bocchi and k-on fan, calling bocchi the rock a "k-on clone" is just wild

[@cranburrey]

It's like he didn't even watch BTR because the plot literally revolves around Bocchi joining a band, coming over her social anxiety, and making a career out of it.

[@aahiljcat]

@@cranburrey yes but the thing that makes bocchi the rock so unique is the was the comedy is portrayed because it's very unique compared to other anime

[@HousekiMitai]

Bro just saw a band in the anime and went "K-on clone" 💀. K-On Bocchi the Rock Girls Band Cry 3 animes that are totally different one from the other, but have similar premises (key-word "band"). Yet the man thinks all of them are clones of the one that came first. Its like saying every shonen anime is a Astro Boy clone lol.

[@kyllernotkiller]

But does K on have a scene of a low poli 3D model of one of the protagonists T-posing getting thrown into generic white boxes in the void of the 3D modeling software? No? That makes Bocchi The Rock better, that concludes my case.

[@katylepetsos7512]

does K-On have a main character glitch out during a panic attack like Bocchi? I don't know, never watched K-on, I hear it's good though.

[@KitchenGun]

That actual physical whiplash when he said Bochi doesnt have a good soundtrack was very relatable

[@kahp1072]

Joey is incredibly full of himself for being half Japanese and living in Japan. His whole personality boils down to "i don't like popular shit, nobody sees the stuff i like" The guy looks like he still lives in the early 2000s, where hating on popular shit and only liking underground stuff was seen as cool.

[@winterwarden]

Garnt really holding it down when it comes to making sense with these dudes

[@Morichoradio]

Bocchi still cooked well when she played the electric guitar with a damaged string And now everyone and not just anime fans always associate boccho with the free bird song by Lynrd Skynrd. Thats how good bocchi's character is for someone who has social anxiety.

Once joey said K-on is CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things) and hates bochi has actual progress is a huge L.

As person who has actually wacthed both K-On and Bocchi, Joey is on hard copium so hard that he became delusional, I could easily go rant about K-On easily but I have better stuff in my life to do

a headache hit me right as he said "the characters aren't insufferable like bocchi's are" lmao

[@DemonicMX]

For the past few years Joey has been trying to piss off as much of the anime community as possible. He already doesn't like to watch anime, and his fans called him out on it. So now he's turned that into his personality. Like if you don't like anime then why are you even a anime content creator?

[@my_fga8829]

Yeah right he need change name on him main channel lol don't why content over there not have any relate with anime anymore just more culture life become more bored better delete only focused another channel 😤 😌 🙃

Joey fr thinks "plot" means characters getting into life-or-death conflicts and city to universe level threats occuring and being overcome. At this point I dont know if he understands ehat the SOL genre is about lol

[@crowdexx1861]

It's gets even weirder when you remember that Joey is actually a huge Monogatari fan which is, you know, definitely not the most fast-paced or action-based show of all time

[@kerubim402]

​@@crowdexx1861 meybe he just skip the conservation scene or any scene without any action and watch immediently an excited action? Dont know, didnt watch monogatari either

[@crowdexx1861]

@@kerubim402 If that's the case, it means that he basically didn't watch Monogatari cause nearly 90% of it are dialogues. But no, he definitely watched it fully. And moreover, read original books too. So this just means that somehow he has double standards for these two shows. There's nothing wrong with it, however. I'm sure that there is a small bit of hypocrisy in everyone's taste since anime is art and art is too subjective to judge it without any preferences or prejudices. So yeah, Joey is entitled to his own opinion, after all

[@TheFirehands150]

When both K-on fans and Bocchi fans facepalm at Joey's take lol

[@ayaya3954]

Joey just doesn't enjoy any show that's at least 10 years old i guess

[@badtimes4710]

Ok his opinion on everything about BTR aside, I CANT BRING MYSELF TO BELIEVE THAT no one has yet to talk about the directing of the series. The storyboarding, the animation, the layout and the film language(best imo), just the production in general was superb. And the way they deliver the humour in a more appealing way really shows that the director understood the audience very well, especially when humours are significantly getting more subjective in this MEME era, whereas jokes and gags can be considered as very common, corny and reptitive. So the delivery of the joke is really important and BTR did it well. As an animator myself, BTR was a much needed anime adaptation because the production itself is very refreshing to see. Sure he can have his opinion its no big deal. He cant relate to people who has social anxiety like Bocchi, ok sure. But whats baffling is the fact that every criticism he stated are all so contradicting. Its almost as if he hates the show without a valid reason, or is it because BTR is too mainstream?

[@DieSense122]

0:43 as someone who has acted before (not just school plays) I can say joey is probably wrong, those pop-off moments are actually a thing, even for people who are absolutely pissing themselves (at least in theatre, not 100% sure for concerts)

I watched Bocchi because I found this clip, and in all honesty, the show is fun, and I like how the other characters don’t be mean to Bocchi for having the issues she has.

[@ozzysmith2571]

"Boochi isn't realistic" Blood, I watched Bocchi and felt like I was reliving my entire Grade 9 year of high school but the genders were opposite. It was so relatable. Also the music is fucking fire. Joey wouldn't know a good song if the cd was jammed into his head
