Hi guys do we fw bocchi the rock? Ik it's a slice of life anime and all but here goes a big text on why you should watch it (if you still don't know it) and why it's my fav anime and prob the only one I like genuinely Bocchi the rock is basically a anime of a high school girl with social anxiety. Now please, I know it's normal anime of girls with social anxiety.. we have komi and the other one that's yikes.. (I don't like her sorry). But the thing is that it actually shows a perspective of a character with social anxiety and that is shy. One thing I learned along time is that just because you have difficulty in socializing doesn't mean you're an introverter! An introvert is someone who DOESNT like to socialize, an extroverter is someone who wants to make friends and socialize. Someone that need others affection. The protagonist, Hitori Goto, falls in this classification. She wants to make friends, she wants to get in a rock band, but she has social anxiety. And the best thing is that she didn't need to develop any trauma to have this problem, she just grew up as a shy kid and never was capable of socializing doesn't matter how much she tried. The anime represents her problems in amazing ways, showing diferent styles, music, even actual human hands to show her having a emotional outburts. But the anime isn't about her suffering not at all! The anime shows her outgrowing herself as a character with the help of friends she made. All the other characters are amazing, they all show diferent perspective of personalities and how they deal with they're daily lives. Take an example, ikuyo Kita, she's a 100% extrovert! She doesn't have any difficulties socializing, someone hitiro inspires to be like. But her flaw is that she lied about knowing how to play guitar to get in a band and ran away when they needed her to play. She doesn't understand in the start NOTHING about instruments, and so she looks up to hitori for being so knowledgeable on the instruments. There are way more characters with way more story then just the 4 bandmates, but really it's such a nice anime to represent how each person deals with they're lives and how they're personalities plays a nice role. The music? Absolutely amazing (I cry myself sometimes listening to some of them, I admit guilty). Even if it's just some stupid anime about rock band girls, it's such a nice social study as well. It shows that you don't need a big trauma to have a problem or that you will always suffer from such problems, you can always outgrow yourself even if you need help. Anyways please watch bocchi the rock, this anime has a special place in my heart
