Bocchi the rock can be summed up as a show that banks on relatability, and cute girls doing cute things. The series relies on the gimmick of the girls being cute, it’s a dime a dozen show with the basic idea being that “introverted girl slowly comes out of her shell through the use of friends” which isn’t a foreign concept at all. But the execution is extremely typical.

The artstyle and animation are very good honestly speaking, it’s very fluid and the characters are drawn very well. The uniqueness in the way the series is portrayed through its great animation and use of unique frames ... is honestly very unique. They adapt parts of the manga and make it feel very comedic, but that’s where my praise for the show stops.

The banking quality is on relatability, sending a message, and the fact that they are cute girls. And the way it gets it’s message across isn’t half bad, it’s clear in the way it gets across and I’d say it does a successful job of portraying a lot of real life anxieties and issues people go through; hence why there’s a bit of shallowness to the show, because that’s the sole purpose of it. And the only things that set it apart from other shows in the same vein is the cute girls, and the overall aesthetics of the show.
