Bocchi the Rock!

Bocchi the Rock is a slice-of-life anime depicting the story of young rocker Hitori Goto, her artistic and musical journey, and most importantly, her difficulty in dealing with deep social anxiety. What makes the anime so special are primarily the handling of comic timing and the incredible use of animation to depict the protagonist's inner states. Script and creativity match perfectly in the realization of a multifaceted, entertaining show with whom to empathize. Good is also the handling of the entire cast of characters and their relationships, and excellent the handling of the theme at hand.

Super recommended, as this is an anime that many people will manage to find very relatable as well as inspirational.

Honestly, this show turned my perception of music by 180°.

One of (if not) the best animes I've ever seen. From watching characters develop really great in their writing each episode to having lots of creative choices of representing social anxiety and relatable situations. It's an awesome experience.

Although it didn't get a lot of budget, the creators still tried to do their best with the amount of money they had and they did a really amazing job.

The music in this show is just something. The opening, The Concerts, Repetitions, Endings, OSTs and even Covers. Not a single bad composition from Kessoku band.

The cloverworks in my opinion really poured their soul into this show because the colors and characters movements make the show look more realistic and beautiful

The attention to the details is just mind-blowing. I love the fact that the creators did really care on how people would look into details so they decided to animate the instruments properly. Hope that they will keep up the great work with the upcoming season and the new producer would not dissapoint, they just don't have to rush and we'll get an another 10/10 experience.

First off, let's just get this out of the way: this show is comedy gold. Each episode has me laughing often - mostly thanks to the ridiculous antics of the show's lovably reclusive protagonist, Hitori. As the audience follows her experience trying to form a band, despite having absolutely no social skills, we meet a variety of enjoyable characters, and the interactions between these characters are always consistently funny.

As for the production, it's easy to say that Studio Cloverworks nailed the animation - the characters move very naturally and fluidly, and the color palette and compositing makes the show feel alive and beautiful. When matched with great music and voice acting, the show is clearly very well produced.

At first I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started watching this anime. But wow, Bocchi the Rock absolutely amazed me! I feel like it accomplished everything it was meant to be. From Bocchi being a relatable character to the details of her music career being done in such a nice paced and detailed way. Something that I enjoyed was that the funny moments actually gave me some good laughs! I have seen so many funny moments in animes that are way too unfunny. But Bocchi the Rock changed that for me. I never thought I would become such a fan of this anime. I rarely give anything 10 stars. But Bocchi the Rock got me to the point in which I feel like it deserves 10 stars. This anime is a must watch!

Musically contagious, visually impressive and overcharged personality-wise. There's a lot of talent here!

But more than a successful little comedy, pretty animation and good use of different styles.. It is the excellent execution of a good emotional core, uplifting interactions and onlook on life that weights heavily on my heart, and the reason I can have this kind of connection. To me, it is more than just your average anime girls doing silly things together; but how it makes me think about myself and how things I wished were like for me and everyone around. I do feel my excitement peaked in the middle, leaving the ending to be lesser as a result.

But this studio knows how to tell a story through animation perfectly, and I wished to recommend this to everyone that has the time, and maybe a little doubt about anything. The feeling it leaves you with is how you finish with a "good day".
