Synopsis

Yearning to make friends and perform live with a band, lonely and socially anxious Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou devotes her time to playing the guitar. On a fateful day, Bocchi meets the outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join Kessoku Band when their guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, flees before their first show. Soon after, Bocchi meets her final bandmate—the cool bassist Ryou Yamada.

Although their first performance together is subpar, the girls feel empowered by their shared love for music, and they are soon rejoined by Kita. Finding happiness in performing, Bocchi and her bandmates put their hearts into improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days.

Amazing anime!! Bocchi is very relatable on being socially awkward and anxious, but also being passionate about what you like. And the journey of growing on that and founding courage and the dedication to be better on what you enjoy.

All characters are fun and their personalities match very well, maintaining balance in absurdness on the jokes and day-to-day situations. The comedy is also very much like my kind of humour, so I really liked that.

The songs are absolutely amazing!! As an avid fan of J-Rock, I really liked all of the soundtracks, amazing compositions. Definitely will learn how to play some of them one of ...

Bocchi the Rock is an anime centered around Hitori "Bocchi" Gotoh, a 15 year old girl with social anxiety that joins a band.

Voice acting stood out to me. The variations in Bocchi's voice help us get into her head. But other than that, this show felt like an average CGDCT anime. As someone who does not have social anxiety, I found Bocchi's struggles with it pretty repetitive and unrelatable. The other characters were pretty bland too, with little character development. There wasn't much of a plot either, although the plot isn't the main point of this anime.

A CGDCT anime I enjoyed more was A ...

This is an AMAZING anime. They absolutely naild it in all areas.
The animation is great because you can see they took the time to accurately animate the drums, sometimes the guitars as well but not always. They did place the hands in the right position on the fretboard when they didin't accurately animate the fingers though for both guitars and bass.

The music is fantastic, many plying moments in the series are realistic, the songs are actually good and are made with the actual instruments portaied visually

They must have made some partnerships because you can actually see the marshall logo and the gibson logo on the ...
