| Shuka High School's Cultural Festival has begun...and already Bocchi has run away!? Bocchi in a maid outfit is cute, but her anxiety has forced her to hide in one corner, and not to mention her embarrassment from the others seeing her in a maid uniform. Sadly, the online community isn't so kind to her as well, thinking that she is on hiatus. After much deliberation, Bocchi is brought back, with the confirmation that they've been slotted in for the performance on the 2nd day. But for now, enjoy the culture festival all they can, in food and fun. And of course, it's back to Bocchi's class of the maid café, and standing dead even in the face of hooligans, Bocchi really is something else. Ryo...you never change lols, exhorting Bocchi for your own gain as a cash cow. The omurice where Bocchi is forced to make the "moe, moe, kyun", it's full-on depression, while Kita can just be a pure maid in the flesh, being very normal with the extrovertedness and Kita-aura. Everyone looks nice in maid uniform, but Ryo in a butler style is easily the best with her nonchalant style lols. With Kessoku Band's help, Bocchi's class reaped in the benefits, and time passes so fast that it's time for their practice for the 2nd day performance, Bocchi's first-ever performance in school. Bocchi's wild imaginations never cease to amaze thinking that they can get a record label if successful, but it's the performance that really draws the crowd in, including supports of family, friends, classmates and fans. All that preparation & Bocchi's confidence is riding on the cultural festival performance. Kessoku Band, make us proud for a pitch-perfect finale! |

| The school festival has started and all the kids are having the best time of their lives and then there's our Bocchi. She looks so adorable in that maid outfit. She even scared the scariest-looking dudes. LMAO. Then, all the girls wore maid outfits and looked cute. Kita was a master at that and the same was for Nijika and then, there was Ryo. LOL. And, it's time for this season's final performance at the school festival and I can't wait for it next week. Bocchi's heart is beating fast just like any normal person's. But, she has her own fans cheering for her like her family and the fans she made along the way. The last episode next week is gonna be awesome. But, I'm also gonna miss this show. Let's goooo... Kessoku Band. |

| I love school festival episodes. Bocchi in a maid outfit is just too cute. <3 I can't wait for their performance. |
 |
| Rejoice folks, bocchi's twin bocchi have finally been freed. Based anime staff, gave us big titties bocchi, and have shown us her real potential. Peak anime adaption, I repeat we got bocchi's hills this episode. Greatness achieved. |

何それ？意味分かんない  |

Bocchi the maid. The funniest episode imo, this is the best thing I've seen this year: peak fiction I'm worried for Bocchi, standing in front of hundreds of people must be a scary experience for someone who has social anxiety. Kita's also getting more screentime, she's like the pedal of the story, every big events happened because of her and it seems like she and Bocchi will get their developments and moments next week. Waiting for another week is honestly painful, looking forward to it. |

| Real eye-candy, I like the colors of this show. I hope they do two songs next week. |
| Great school festival Episode Bocchi is so cute in a maid outfit and i am so looking forward to their performance |
| One more episode, lets hope the concert goes well! We finally have maid Bocchi.  |
| Some dreadful nightmare it should've been for an introvert to go have something like a maid dress and do that kyun-kyun but no look at Bocchi, nevermind the basic maid services she even scaring yankees away lol. Last episode next time, oh well time flies fast. |
 |
| I can feel it... The close-up on the guitar head. One of the strings will snap. |
| Bocchi the Rock chap 19 Never get to see Nijika and Kita jealousy over Bocchi since anime censorer her big boba. All those fan art is a lied https://en.datosjam.net.pe/anime/otaku/they-censor-the-breasts-in-bocchi-the-rock-and-the-fans-react/ |

| I love it when the four said "mite kudasai" , for one last time 😭😭😭 See you girls next week for the last ep. Wish this was a 2 cour series. |
| The girls looked cute in maid uniform. Glad the festival was fun for them. The end though, damn what a cliffhanger. Can't wait for next episode to watch their performance. |
 |
| Well cultural festival was cliche as it sounds, like your every season average school anime. |
| the underrated anime of the season for me i didn't expect i would become a fan of this anime but i really love this anime thanks bocchi chan |
| comedy focused episode huh. I wryly chuckled exactly once when bocchi puked her depression onto that omelette. Speaking of puking, some of the visual gags in this episode made me want to vomit. When Ryou started scarfing down the food it looked like something from Ed, Ed and Eddy. Then there was the random inclusion of intentionally bad CG. Ok that's funny, how? And Bocchi's heartbeat gag was like something from the Looney Tunes. IDK it just seemed like a very try-hard episode to me. |
 |
| Never knew Bocchi can do King Engine! Somewhat disappointed that they nerfed Bocchi in her maid outfit, but I still like the creativity of this series. I'll take Manga Bocchi over Anime Bocchi any time! Overall (tentative): 7/10 Episode: 6/10 |
 |
| I wanted to see them all perform in a maid outfit!!! Bocchi the Maid!!! |

| Goto in a maid costume i never thought she would wear that but she gives her best to not take everyone attention that is kita san. Love to see that goto has more self attitude. ijust love this series<3 |

favwcrime12 said: UnknownGhost5 said: Nah. Judging by your list you have a quite awful taste in anime. You gave everything that's not a battle shonen a 1. Also if you don't like it just stop watching. mfs fav anime is aot🤡 Yup. He also has all of the cast as his favourite characters. I guess that explain everything about him lol. |
| The Shuka Cultural Festival is in full swing, and Bocchi just can't stand wearing the maid outfit, so she's became a runaway maid and hid near trash cans, only for Kessoku Band to find her. She tried the moe moe kyun, but it ended up being depressing, as expected of her. Kita, with her Kita aura, can easily be a maid, a magical girl, you name it? Ryo as the butler was awesome to see as well. The performance is looming near though, and with all the practicing and training, Bocchi's heart is flying out of her, as the band is on stage, and the school loves Kita, but Bocchi has people rooting for her too. One thing I did find a bit concerning, however, was Bocchi seemingly finding something off about Kita. You could see it in Kita's expressions. Something tells me it might not go as smoothly as we think, but they'll manage probably. The visual comedy, again, truly impeccable, and next episode is the biggest performance yet. End this show with a bang, Kessoku Band, though you've made us plenty proud already! |

| Something about this episode of Bocchi was...unsettling It was definitely a great episode in regards to the multiple Bocchi moments but something felt off I felt like. I think Bocchi seeing Kita nervous played a factor. Also Kita was going to tell Bocchi something but decided against it. But also the empty places at the end (band room, Bocchi's entryway and Bocchi's room) was a little off putting for me personally. Still a great episode. |

| It was a somewhat OK-ish episode, nothing special, far from the the apex the anime has reached in episode eigth. I hope it still has something to show to us for its high rating the next week, at least more than a typical school lfestival with a bit of fan service. |

I'm quite sure I have seen this scene before, but I don't remember where. Is it from JoJo? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Okay Episode looking forward to the last episode on Christmas Eve |
| Festival has begun but Bocchi decides to run away and check her social media and sees those comments about her, so she decides that she wants to upload something or is eager to upload something, the other girls find Bocchi fast after searching in every corner lol. Bocchi in an maid costume is cute though, and I'm glad that the other girls decided to help her out in the class, those big guys though, kneeling for Bocchi haha. Bocchi and the girls are ready to perform in the gym hall for the other people but ofcourse the Cliffhanger drops down on us. Its kinda sad that next week will be the last week of Bocchi Saturday, Imma miss it. |

| This episode was made for fans while still making progress to the climax next week... I love it. |
| ‘It may be admitted that if it were possible for us to have so deep an insight into a human's way of thinking, as it shows itself both through inner and outer actions, that every, even the least incentive to these actions and all external occasions which affect them, were so known to us, then his future conduct could be predicted as certainly as the appearance of a solar or a lunar eclipse.’ Critique of Practical Reason, p. 230 of the Rosenkranz. |
| Damn that cliffhanger. I wanted to hear them play. I was so expecting them to pull some drama out of nowhere like most slice of life series do at episode 11. Luckily they didn't and it was a fun episode. I swear I will never get sick of watching Bocchi and her reactions. I really really hope this series gets a second season with how much attention its getting. |
