Great premiere! Bocchi is very relatable, and the portrayal of her social anxiety is spot on!

The comedy works very well, both thanks to the sharp writing and the sleek animation.

I'm looking forward to the following episodes. ^_^

Very good episode, I see a lot of her (Hitori) in me...the not making eye contact with someone, trying to connect with another person (friendship) or not being part of a club...the social anxiety is pretty hard but I like that she is trying, it's a good step to overcome or cope with it.
I didn't expect the joke about killing himself at the concert to entertain the audience hahaha
PS: Good Opening and Ending

Bocchi the Rock! episode one is great, and gets straight to the point. All character introductions are interesting, making the characters much more memorable. It also, has a sense of realism to it while still being fun.

As someone who is a guitarist, and has also had issues with coming out of their shell, I can greatly emphasize with Bocchi. Her struggles feel real and while they are often protrayed in a comedic light, they at least aren't written just as some "moe" archetype.

Also she has a guitar that literally looks like my dream guitar soo bonus points for that.

Alrighty, it's time for me to watch this series, had it on the back burner long enough...

The OP is lovely, that upbeat melody paired with the colourful visuals and the energizing lyrics made for one fantastic OP, perfectly suited for this particular show. As such for the ED, the more upbeat melodies, colourful cutesy visuals and lively energy from the lyrics. It seems that both the OP and ED are really hinting at Hitori AKA Bocchi's progression as both a musician and a human being, breaking through her severe social anxiety one by one.

Wonderful first ep, the first 5 minutes alone speak volumes of how much Hitori desires to get popular and live a life surrounded by friends. The whole reason she even picks up a musical instrument in the first place is to do just that. Yet even with her motivation, she breezed through the entirety of her middle school life without progressing on that social aspect one bit. This really reminded me of NOT Komi-San. It reminded me of Tomoko Kuroki, their extreme social anxiety disorder is equal, they live isolated and detest interacting with anyone outside the family and they're expressive enough to visibly show discomfort, unlike Komi who maintains a poker face. The only difference here is that Tomoko is a femcel lmao.

This is truly a [K-ON x Watamote] combo!

The scene where Hitori was alone at the park with some other man and she said something like "I guess this is where lonely people go" only for his wife and daughter to visit him made me laugh a lot. It was so funny. A lot of scenes in this first episode were way too relatable though, like Hitori bringing band merch to school so people would talk to her, and then slowly taking them off one at a time out of embarrassment, that part was way too relatable.

Amazing first episode! Cloverworks putting out bangers one after another! I'm not really into CGDCT but this is too good for me to look down on. I love the artstyle and the blend of realism and 2d animation!!! 10/10 intro!

Super cute and relatable, I cried a little bit, as someone who has had fantasies about performing but isn't particularly talented in any specific field.

I decided to expand genres and picked the anime to see what "music" genre anime is like. Ngl, it wasn't that bad and I actually enjoyed watching this episode. The first part hit a little too close to home as I remember going to a new school and didn't know anyone for the first semester, kind of like how pink hair didn't get to know anyone for all her middle school life. The part where she finds her passion for music tho, THAT part made me think about what I want to do and got me emotional for some reason. It made me think about what I like to do on my free time and what I want to be in the future and i all got is... nothing. Because of this i became really invested on seeing her pursuing her passion and what's going to happen to her dream of playing guitar in a band. Im happy for her that yellow hair invited her along to play in thier small little band.

Because this ep was very relatable, and talks a lot of issues that I face, I would give it a 5. This anime may be perfect for me.

Well, that was a pretty good start. The episode had me smiling basically the entire episode, particularly Hitori's inner monologue. It was pretty funny too. I cracked up at her sniffing the girl in secret. I also cracked up at her performing in a box. That can't be good for the acoustics, lol. It is pretty hard to believe that a punk rock-looking girl who brought a guitar case to class wouldn't get talked to at all, but I can fairly easily suspend my disbelief on that.
