BtR triggers my own anxiety and social fears. But every time I watch it, I am so happy to have a show that provides an outlet for those fears. So fun, so funny, so well done!

This time, everyone in the unity band was invited to see Ms. Hiroi`s band live house was full of members with strong quirks, and it was very interesting, but I thought it was going to be a live show, so it was really cool. Nijika-chan, who was swallowed by the atmosphere of the live house and wanted to see her sister, was just cute. I`m looking forward to seeing how Bocchi-chan will grow after watching this live. I`m looking forward to the next edition of the cultual festival.

I would have never thought I would hear psychedelic rock in anime.

I need to hear the whole song of Sick Hack, not just the part that was played in the anime. I hope they will upload it on the youtube soon.



It won't be out until the 28th, with the 5th BD release. You can always check out 88Kasyo Junrei who they're based off. Hiroi even has a similar tat on the back of her hand


Just checked out their music just now and I'm loving it. Do you have any other similar bands and songs? This might just be a new interest of mine.

Kita's character felt more genuine after this episode. She's not energetic for the goofy extrovert gags, she can read the atmosphere and have good care to the others of the cast

Not off the top of my head. There's a thread on the Bocchi the Rock sub reddit where someone had listed a bunch of Japanese inde bands that may be of interest to you however. Edit: the title of the thread is Real life Kesskou Bands you might enjoy. Hope this helps

It looks like Bocchi was managing quite well out of her element here.
Guessing she is missing because she forgot to study or something.

Dammm, that self harming segment where she bangs her head non stop was distressing to watch, given I have treated people who hit/harm themselves when in similar levels of distress.

Seriously, why isnt she taking an SSRI at most, or seeing a psychologist in the least? At least there's a somewhat obtuse message that alcohol isnt the answer, despite her friend using it as a coping mechanism.

Another awesome performance. Again a very abridged version but I sure hope they release a full version. I like the reveal from Kita at the end here. She's not just some genki airhead.

Kikuri has been a positive influence to Bocchi (minus the alcohol consumption) and a mentor as it looks like Bocchi has gotten comfortable around her and has listened to her advice. Bocchi has indirectly implied that she's accepted that she will play at the school festival after inviting Kikuri so that's a great sign that she continues to come out of her shell.

I was rooting for Bocchi to turn in the application but it took Kita to do it and I'm glad that Bocchi was ok with it after Kita confessed that she did it even though she knew Bocchi threw it away. Hopefully Bocchi shows up as the end stated that she was missing, I'm guessing stage fright or a sickness caused from being nervous.

Bocchi became a Picasso drawing after realizing Kita's actions. Ryo is always starving no matter what happens, also the song from Hirori was really good, especially her voice.

Booze girl's psychedelic performance was hella trippy to look at. Lots of hallucinations and colorful imagery.
Seeing booze girl get carried by the crowd after a stage dive is hilarious. She would definitely do that.

10/10 would watch again.

They're gonna perform at the Cultural festival, thanks to the inspiration Hiroi gave Bocchi. I like her stage persona!

I like Sick Hack band performance, definitely one of the best episode of Bocchi The Rock.
It also felt refreshing hearing a music genre I’ve never heard of.

Pretty dull, boring episode overall, however had a few good moments, one being the concert's animation, one being the talk after the concert, the rest being Ryo.





Kinda relatable humour in being the person who's shouted or skipping meals, haha.

I was expecting to show the concert part a bit longer, I couldn't really get into it. can't wait to see them perform at the fest.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Kita did what he did because he knew Bocchi needed a push, because he knew how MUCH he wanted to perform with Kessoku Band, and because he knew firsthand how great he can be. Not for any other reason. She is a truly good friend.

Ah, so they finally managed to bring the war criminal to justice. Still think she got off a bit too easy. Anyways, looks like Bocchi might be performing solo and that might be the reason why she disappeared. Probably curled up in her shelter.

So we have school festival incoming. Poor Bocchi, got voluntered by Kita.

Sick Hack playing psychedelic rock... Well, I was expecting something more trippy, like Pink Floyd "Astronomy Domine", or at least The Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", but it was... OK, I guess? The visualizations were nice and trippy :) . Yes, Bocchi, psychedelia is awesome.

And Ryo turns out to be very knowledgeable about the topic :).

But I wouldn't recommend trying actual psychedelics. Drugs like LSD makes you more sensitive to everything, including your own thoughts and feelings. Taking it while having anxiety is pretty much asking for a bad trip, so she'd had not only social anxiety, but also PTSD to deal with afterwards.

Trying to swing back into pace but it's probably too late. This show's so uneven, I don't get the score at all. Gen Z and their introversion phases. Smhmh.

Uneven and predictable. Last ep was really the chance to let loose and they took a break with a beach episode. The social introversion in this how scares me. Like all introverts are freaks or something.

This is like Welcome to the NHK sometimes, it gets so dark. Shit, maybe she did need a giant rack, it would at least give her character something to look forward to.

And animation-wise 8 was so boring. I was with this show but ep 8 broke me. Sorry, K-On is better.
