Episode was fun and a bit painful. The show kind of pokes at truths but package it in a fun way.
However, it does feel like other shows, where most of the broadcasting time is spend arounding the music and band culture rather than the music itself, judging from the first episode.

I like that bit, where they picked up a guitarist randomly off a play park. It is just like in real life, when looking for bandmates, you usually get like 100 guitar players applying...but maybe 1 drummer...

Decent first episode. I can certainly feel for the girl. Life just kind of passed her by. Definitely feels like a person easy to feel some empathy for. She tried to set herself up to have people reach out, but couldn't gather the courage to go further than that. It did kind of work, but not exactly. And even when it did, she still had understandable struggles.

I do kind of hope that there is a bit more focus on the musical performances. Though I could see it just being a setting for the character interactions.

Decent enough. Though I'll still put it behind the true Hitori Bocchi :D.

episode 1:

even the box she was hiding in got destroyed. :heh:

the "forgive my arrogance" also made me laugh so hard.

ok, this is acceptable. One more cgdct from this new season, fill my fun for these kind of shows.

looking forward to next week.

I had a lot of fun with this, I'm really cheering for bocchi!, I hope she gets to be friends with the red-hair quickly.

Bocchi VA is great! Really sounds like a pathetic loser, even better than I imagined it while reading the manga. I love when that happens.

Still fun but Bocchi really needs a hug and the others to tell her that they are friends and they like her.

^_^
It is fun watching this show. It is a bit educational as well, i.e on how performers book/pay to play at venues in japan, which is a constast to most western countries.
Bocchi is adorable, I love the scences where she spaces out or speaks in her head, it is so relatable. Hopefully the shows carry on showing bits and pieces about the music scene in japan.

Skipped over this in the lineup initially because I thought it was a show about a rock...named Bocchi.

But cute show with some uncanny animation. Reminds me a bit of Watamote.

Some people complained that they toned down some fancervice compared to the manga. Which is funny considering it is not some ecchi series.

Still like it. The comedy is good and the girls actully do something useful unlike certian light music club.

This does remind me of Watamote but with that Manga Time Kirara flavor. Its not bad but not that interesting either so I'll see how I feel after next week. I'm guessing the "guitarhero" reveal is going to take a while.

Good. Would feel out of place, imo.

episode 2:

Bocchi knows about the death penalty. :heh:

but she's really trying hard to improve.
having the courage to give the juice is good progress.

looking forward to next week.

Bocchi worked really hard this chapter. I'm cheering for you bocchi!
