Everyone starts in da streets, I was wondering when it would happen. Funny how they have zero fait in bocchi but it makes sense haha

Behold of my awesomeness~

I wonder, how Ryo sold her tickets.. Maybe Hitori could ask her for some advice?.. Well, if it doesn't involve something like picking up girls from street or something..
Booze and bass are worth more than her life to this girl, hm.. Sounds like maybe she doesn't like her life.. But she's also drunk, and drunk people say not honest stuff at times, but rather following impulses.. At times, that is.. As well as blowing things out of proportion.. Like loving everyone equally to the fullest, even complete strangers.. Or some other stuff.. So who knows..

Drunk rocker-girl appears. Poor Bocchi... I too have problem with finding a moment to leave troublesome people without feeling like an asshole. So it took a while.

Especially when alcoholics often are unpredictable and you are never sure if they take your attempt to leave as an invitation to fight. That ex-rocker really should join the AA club or something, because she has a serious problem. It's a wonder she's still alive after drinking so much, let alone awake.

Bocchi imagining herself as an unemployed alcoholic was depressing.

New favourite character just dropped. She really knows how to enjoy life and she certainly reflects the darker side of rock.

Wow great ep, I got teary eyed when Bocchi opened her eyes...

At first I thought I was gonna dislike the new girl (the sharp tooth trope) but she seems nice. Lovely street performance

I like how the people around Bocchi are commenting on her social anxiety, like this new girl and the girl from the crowd. Her anxiety isn't something that only we can see, which is great.

Bocchi spacing out and imagining a worst-case/doomsday scenario to something mundane happening is a thing that speaks to me on a personal level.

Avid enjoyer of Sci-fi, mysteries, and serious drama anime, although anything with good writing could probably hook me in. Love is War doesn't apply to any of these, but the dub still gets my 10/10. Anyways, Rio Futaba is best girl.

Perhaps it's because of the show's short length, but there's not much fluff. Bocchi the Rock is actually well paced in portraying Bocchi, her personality, the people around her, the world she's in, and the direction of her growth. That being said, I've certainly seen other shows of similar length that somehow managed to waste their time meandering or getting bogged down by their own self-induced nuances, so a show's length isn't necessarily indicative of the presence of fluff, or lack thereof. Also, while the show definitely has art and animation chops, as well as a vibrant audio quality if evident by its energetic voice acting, watching and listening to performances is a different experience entirely. It feels like as the show progresses, the comedic scenes slowly become more unhinged, thereby allowing more unique and exaggerated gags. Additionally, since Bocchi the Rock transitioned out of the initial band forming phase, we're now seeing Bocchi being forced to mature, allowing the audiovisuals to match her pace in terms of growth. This show is actually really well animated, and while I always love hearing raw instrumentals, hearing them matched with stellar visuals enhances the experience. I can see why this show was so well regarded.

Bocchi is slowly overcoming her fear of public and crowds. She can perform to her fullest, it's just a matter of time.

The drunk lady was pretty cool. I just hope she doesn't die from liver issues due to her excessive drinking.

Bocchi sold all of her tickets!!

Hitori, oh your growing more and more as each episode unfolds. Now she’s passed the audition she now has to sell tickets to fulfil the quota for the concert that the band requires but of course with her anxiety and all it’s a difficult task indeed. But she meets somebody, an unlikely source so to speak, Hiroi specifically who while has experience as a bass player for an indie band, is pretty much a drunk which did put our Bocchi on edge with her.

But this strange bass player helped her out, in giving an improvised street performance to not only sell the flyers and the tickets, but by also giving Hitori her first experience of what to expect when seeing what a live audience thinks of the band in general. It’s not that often when you can say a drunk person has helped you out of your predicament but Hiroi certainly proved herself, not sure I agree with her “methods” of coping with her life but again a good deed is a good deed regardless.

Hitori’s fellow bandmates are going to be really surprised about her efforts regarding that quota.

I thought this ep wasn't bad, wholesome even ! Seeing the art of the series after not seeing it for a while made me realize how nice the art really is. Really took it for granted before. Overall a cute ep ^^ !

Interesting new character, a drunk woman who ends up helping Bocchi sell all the tickets she needs to meet her quota. Really enjoyed watching the growth we've seen out of Bocchi just in this single episode, it's massive.

I can't wait to see the concert next time!

The new girl Hiroi is cool character ;]

another great episode

i Just don't like the ending vocals and lyrics.. songs are also not a blast like they should be for music anime.. I heard most of bocchi songs on youtube, I wonder why they are not yet in anime beside the first one????

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Lol, what a overdramatic recap even if it was amusing.

Yeah, didn't actually think about it before, but you can't sell 5 tickets including your too young older sister and a dog. And clearly this character isn't the most adapt to hand out flyers.

Mom and dad imagination moment was a trip, and she thinking about being replaced... Sort of.

Hiroi isn't entirely convincing. She has done something good for the main character but seriously, she needs to stop being an alcoholic. Those two yukata girls who bought 2 tickets out of five are cool, they deserve to not fade away after just this episode or the official gig.

Very good episode, interesting that a musician with alcohol addiction problems helps you cope better with the public even if he hasn't opened both eyes...just one is enough...everything else will be in due course.
PS: incredibly I ate a screamer (in the part where Hitori sees her life as an adult + alcohol and out of nowhere she starts screaming) I didn't expect it hahaha
