Synopsis

Yearning to make friends and perform live with a band, lonely and socially anxious Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou devotes her time to playing the guitar. On a fateful day, Bocchi meets the outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join Kessoku Band when their guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, flees before their first show. Soon after, Bocchi meets her final bandmate—the cool bassist Ryou Yamada.

Although their first performance together is subpar, the girls feel empowered by their shared love for music, and they are soon rejoined by Kita. Finding happiness in performing, Bocchi and her bandmates put their hearts into improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days.

One of if not the best slice of life animes i've ever seen.

As someone who doesn't particularly like slice of life animes, Bocchi the rock managed to get me entertained throughout the entire show, it has great moments of character development, expresses characters personalities in a lovely way and the mix of a musical anime with a slice of life makes it even better. Story wasnt explicitly predictable, managed to outmaneuver my genre preferences and make me love it. The animation is beautiful and the comedy is on point. Characters feel realistic with their own personalities and the show makes sure that becomes one of ...

This is my first review. I used to think that writing reviews was pointless or logical only for shows you like, but I’ve come to realize that when you write a review, you truly reflect on what you’ve watched and it helps you process everything, including the emotions the show left behind. I want to try writing a review for everything I watch or read this year, and the first thing I watched was Bochi the Rock.

I'll start by explaining why I decided to watch the anime and what caught my interest. The main reason was probably its rating and the fact that it seemed ...

Bocchi the Rock fails at being both a good SoL and a good show about musicians. If you're coming to this show looking for one of those aspects (or both) then leave as I assure you there's plenty better than Bocchi, you can even stop reading here if you want. If you've already watched it or just want to see my reasoning then feel free to read on.

Plot:
Bocchi is a Slice of Life/Coming of age story about a girl who learns to overcome her shyness by playing her guitar. That might seem like a decent idea but that might as well be as deep ...
