Bocchi immediately made it to my top 10 when it aired. I remember people saying “everyone will move once it’s finished”, but I still think about it all the time. I got volume one of the manga as soon as the translation came out and I’m hoping to get a Bocchi figure at some point. Wish season two will be announced soon!
I imagine that part of the reason why S2 is taking so long is because Bocchi’s showrunner is also showrunning Frieren. If both of these shows keep going for a while, I imagine he’ll be back & forth busy with the both of them pretty consistently. Even if it means they come out slower, I hope he doesn’t leave either because they’re both incredible. For real, good on Keiichiro Saito for having 2 showrunning gigs in a row be massive mega hits.
If that was the case I can't be mad because I like Frieren even more than Bocchi lol. This guy is onto something, will definitely pay attention to anything he does
After watching bocchi the rock i got up and finally started playing the drums, something i was fascinated about from like 3 or 5 years of age - i alreadu knew a lot about the drums but never actually touched them in my life, so when i actually took lessons(that didint help me at all and i ended up buying a kit and going the self-taught route) and got better at drums in matter of like 3 months i somehow formed a band (2 of my friends and a random guy i met by a store who accepted the proposal of randomly joining a band) bocchi the rock does some amaizing things lol
@Thatonepersononthesidewalk We were playing a lot in the studio during the summer and have a big concert coming due in december,, getting all our songs ready for recording and when we do we might start publishing them on the Internet and get our name out there, but now that schools and colleges have started again we're taking studio practice only once during 2 weeks!(, I know some bands that play like that, but we'd like to play more if 2 of the band members didint live in another city - I still attend school with the rythmn guitarist/vocalist so we go practice at the studio when we can) But yeah when we finish all of the songs we'd wish to release an album of them all
Bocchi already looked interesting when I was scanning upcoming seasonal anime, never could have guessed how insanely good the anime would end up being.
when i first heard of bocchi i thought it was a similar thing to that time i got reincarnated as a slime and there was a literal rock which was named bocchi and i couldnt imagine a single possible plot for that so i watched it out of curiosity and my life was changed forever i have many genuine self-improvement reasons to thank bocchi for and i will cry for weeks if season 2 doesnt happen
I was pretty surprised to find out the original manga took a 4koma format, considering the amount of detail and humor that was present in the anime. Can’t wait for a S2.
As a pseudo-extroverted person, with a great facility for making friends and talking to others, Bocchi the rock really made me empathize with people who do have problems socializing. Guitar loneliness and blue planet symbolizes very well everything that someone with social anxiety, frustration at not being able to socialize, and many other things can feel. But it doesn't end there, Bocchi is really a character that you get attached to quickly, everything in the kessoku band has something special that makes you appreciate them, Nijika's story broke my heart in chapter 8, Kita is a very fun character to watch on screen and more because he contrasts with the majority of the cast. Bocchi has something special that I couldn't say, but that catches you
I didn't personally think BTR was god-tier like a lot of other people; but I totally get why a lot of people resonated with the aspects of it. Whether that be a personal reflection of social awkwardness or anxiety in Bocchi, the love of of music, or - and I think most importantly that you've touched on - the motivation to try something new. There was a similar phenomena in 2018 with A Place Further Than the Universe that motivated people to take risks, try new things, see new places and make new friends and that's the mark of a great piece of art. I'm glad BTR resonated with you on such a deep and personal level that it spurred you on to learn a new skill. As someone who used to play guitar - have patience. Getting "good" doesn't happen overnight. It takes months. It can be frustrating when you think you're not progressing fast enough, or at all; but stick with it and remember the 3 P's - practice, patience, and persistence. Having fun and creating music is all that matters.
Patience is your greatest virtue for sure, I feel like by doing lessons I have someone there to remind me I am improving even when I don't feel like it, it helps with motivation. Having fun is a big factor for me too lol Also, I gotta watch A Place Further Than the Universe I heard great things about it
@@Totaraum It would be sick a video about A Place Further Than the Universe. Have watched it twice and really makes you think you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Regardless, love your content man!
Great breakdown on how Bocchi took over the internet, but I gotta say, DUDE. Your editing, pacing, and script writing in this video is pretty fucking good.
I didn't want to learn guitar, but Kikuri did re-spark the "maybe I should learn bass" that's been smouldering for ages for me. Anime for Kikuri spin-off manga when?
I've been watching anime since 2013 and not in the watched an episode or two on tv at the weekend way but in the watching half episodes of trashy harems on youtube with only a quarter of the screen actually showing the anime type of way. So by 2022 and basically growing up on anime I already knew what I liked and was kind of falling out of it as I didn't find much joy in any shows anymore and just rewatched things I already liked. Bocchi came out and my friends watched it, I saw the memes going around and thought it was some second K-On (A show I thought was just alright) so it took me a few months to get around to it but when I finally did I decided to watch it all in one night like old times. I still vividly remember jumping out of my seat all giddy with a stupid grin on my face during Bocchi's solo in ep8 and it seriously brought my love for anime back. I fucking love every episode of this show and even though I mostly just stick to manga or light novels nowadays, I know that this genre still has a lot left in it. Thank you Bocchi!
Bocchi is the thing that made me go out of my way and buy a electric guitar. Even though I only found the show a few months ago and I only bought a guitar three days ago it still made me want to play electric guitar and try my best to pursue it.
Same here. I only discovered BTR late last year, but despite already having played guitar for years, the show inspired me to return to my roots and buy a bass guitar (I lay the blame on the drunken bassist, Hiroi of Sick Hack). Problem is though that I'm now eyeing up some new effects pedals I can't really afford. Oh hell, I've got Gear Acquisition Syndrome! Keep practising and playing that guitar, Bro, and, in the words of Hiroi, one day you'll be worthy of it. Good luck!
I saw that a movie was coming out and got really excited..... but then I found out that it was a recap of the first season. I hope the wait doesn't end up like the wait for Land of the Lustrous season 2.
Bocchi the rock is one of my favorite animes, it's hilariously cool how memes evolve around bocchi getting anxiously nervous about everything but on the other hand the ost on the anime itself was amazing its the reason why i started learning to play electric guitar
Songs from Bocchi the Rock were so catchy. They made me pick up my guitar again. And for anyone out here who just started playing the guitar, make sure to visit a guitar tech or a luthier and have your guitar setup so you can play and learn comfortably.
Bocchi the Rock, just like for many others, was the reason I started playing guitar. I've been interested in it for a long time and asked my parents to get me one, but they wouldnt. Years later, this show released and, after watching the entire thing, made me get my own Les Paul copy. It's been 6 months since then and I've decided it's time to learn "If I could be a constellation" to see if I could keep up with Kita as a challenge for myself. It's going pretty well, but the callousses are EVERYWHERE. I believe the amount of people that started learning an instrument because of this show will undoubtedly have an impact on the future music geniuses. For anyone reading this, it's never too late to learn an instrument, so go ahead! 👍
Bocchi is easily one of my all-time favorites, and not just in anime. If I made a list of my top 10 shows of all time, in any format or genre, BTR would be on it. As someone with autism, the struggles with social situations are way too relatable. The way they use different animation styles for certain situations just makes it even funnier. There's so much more I could add... I'm SO glad I watched Bocchi. It almost flew under the radar. It's perfection. Now where's our second season?
I got into anime via music..I discovered Japanese female rock!..when I lost my partner to cancer..It was the light in my darkness...And one band in particular I totally fell for....During my investigation into the band and it's creation, I learned that the founder watched K-On! when she was a kid. And it was something that got her thinking of having some kind of musical career......I had never watched anime as such...But gave K-On! a look...I loved it!...I watched other anime and was rather taken by the characters, fun and music of slice of life shows...So I went to Japan (from UK) to see my fav band LIVE and while there visited a number of real life locations used in some of the anime I had watched...I brought manga of those anime in the locations they are set! (even though I don't speak or read Japanese)..So made them abit more special than just buying online.
I dealt with crippling agoraphobia for a few years, and seeing Bocchi for the first time made me ugly cry like every episode because of how cathartic it was. I also happened to already be playing guitar for a few years when I saw it.
2 pieces of advice, One music theory, your basic A-G B&C are right next to each other on the fretboard, as are E&F Everything else has a space in between . Music theory comes down to 1-3-5-7. Say G-b-D Jazz is adding something between those G-B-c?E/D? . It's not perfect but it'll get u to learn more later . 2nd piece advice . Start off on one string. And just have fun with it practicing advice number 1 . You'll have to learn more like string names and strumming patterns But that's on you. Good luck . Oh and a scale so you know what proper learning can do.
Bocchi made me appreciate my talents a little bit more. I still wouldn’t necessarily call myself an accomplished but I do appreciate the people who pay to listen to me play. I hope you continue on your guitar journey because it is all about having fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing for a good size crowd, or to yourself in your bed. Guitars are cool and super accessible and I want them to stay that way.
Just hope they don't kill off any of my favorite characters... Fr tho, as a guitarist I love that Bocchi (and K-ON! for that matter) has gotten so many people into guitar. I hope guitar will be as fun for you as it has been for me, keep up the good work!
Bocchi the Rock inspired me to play the guitar and now it's been around a year since I started cause of Bocchi the Rock, I can say I'm one of the guitarists people would say I'm good at it and one of the guitarists pros would say decent, I used to hate guitar because it was widespread and commonly used because of our culture in our country (Philippines) but ever since I watched Bocchi the rock I've been so dedicated to learn the guitar and play their songs (I'm 14 btw I got an electric guitar on my 13th birthday last year) (:P LMAO my school hosted a praise and worship concert i got to play in it in a band, formed from our small suggestion to play and turned into the whole concert) Proud to say I got a friend asking me to teach them and I'm still very dedicated to being a good musician as my life pretty much revolved around music and muscles, I discovered many songs and taken a liking to Rock, Blues, and Metal. Funny how my journey to become a great musician is highly inspired by Bocchi the rock and I'm glad to discover music this way as it has set me a path and now I'm now dedicating my life to becoming a guitarist and to join and play in a band cus Bocchi is so me fr fr
Thoroughly enjoyed randomly stumbling upon this vid. BTR will always be special to me because it gave me the final push I needed to purchase my own drum kit and start taking lessons. It's so much fun. No regrets.
After the show finished airing I immediately went broke buying a guitar and amp, been playing since. Always thought it would be cool to play guitar but never committed up to that point. Been listening to the songs almost daily too, just because they're so good
i also got into guitar litterly a day after watching bocchi the roch now 3 months later i didnt stop with it for a day and im a lot better at guitar WE LOVE BOCCHI!
2:40 today I rewatched the first episode and 'tis a joke that's in exclusively the manga cause they nerfed how incredibly vain Bocchi herself can be in the crunchyroll subs vs the manga. Classmates in the start of the vol. 1 manga thought she had an AK-47 for some chaotic reason in her guitar shaped backpack. So this meme is just even funnier now. I don't really know what came first a check or egg situation, but if you like this anime, try out Yuru Camp, you might like it too.
This show inspired me to pick up my old guitar that has been sitting in the corner with a broken e-string for 3 years. Ordered new strings after the last episode and just now began practicing again. It's not an electric one, but im thinking of getting a cheap one. At least that old lady (inherited it from my grandpa's sister) is in working condition. Just a crack that needs a bit of glue soon left and it's as good as new. I'm thinking of getting a Bocchi sticker for it as a "thank you for inspiring me".
This and the Tsukihime Remake also served to catapult Ikumi Hasegawa as one of the premiere voice talents in the current era. Which is great, the funny cat from Melty Blood was too talented to slave away forever working on niche text games.
Bocchi = based. The show really reminded me, that having fun is the most important part of it doing any kind of music. Music uni doesn't promote that enough smh. We really need more teachers/professors, who promote that.
As a Bocchi and CSM fan, I’m totally fine with Bocchi beating it in ratings. I do think that CSM season 1 was amazing but it was covering the weakest part of the manga. Bocchi is so damn good that I cosplayed her at Anime Expo this last year and the official merch booth was almost sold out the second day of the con.
This show really is something special. I’ve been a classical musician for my whole life and my dumb brain was convinced that rock music, and especially j-rock music didn’t really count as music. Here I am a few years later as a bass player and rhythm guitarist. (Something I never thought I wanted to do.) I’m in a band in college and spend way too much time listening to j-rock music. It turns out that guitar feels really easy transitioning from fretless microtonal instruments like cello.
I'm happy for you for starting guitar! I personally watched K-On specifically because I've instruments for so long. You're right, if it's making you happy then keep doing it! That's all that matters. At 29yo, I went back to skateboarding because of some dumb video.
“Free will is a myth, religion is a joke. We’re all pawns controlled by something greater; memes, the dna of the soul” - Monsoon So yeah. I think most popular things are actually because of memes now, even if not the exact memes Monsoon was talking about.
2:39 This made me laught more than it had any right to Also, Hamaji-sensei's favorite anime being Angel Beats is nuts, it was my favorite anime too... until well, I watched BTR
At first i just ignored this anime thinking it's just another boring slice of life anime. When like 3rd episode was out i heard some good opinions about it and i was bored so i decided to watch these 3 episodes and after watching them i realized how wrong i was about this show. Today it's one of my favourite anime. Ryo is literally me fr fr
Admittedly I started playing guitar because of K-On, so I'm kinda in the same boat. I picked it back up after I lost interest thanks to Bocchi, but I'm losing interest yet again. I do prefer K-On's music however, so if you haven't already, you should definitely try playing some of their songs
I come from the 'other side' of the hobby angle as BTR made me remember how much fun I had playing drumset since I hadn't touched it in a fee years. In that tike I was more focused on other percussive insturments. The show means a lot to many people in different ways, and while "She's just like me fr" continues on, it would be more accurate to say that because the cast are all exaggerated traits of different types of people, there's something of yourself to see in all of them (probably). What spoke to me was that it came out in a down period for me when I was no longer making music in an ensemble, and made me think back on how those moments were special to me. Then I got off my chair and went back to it.
_Bocchi The Rock's the K-ON of the 2020s, instead of 2nd hand Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standards and/or clones appearing in guitar stores all over the world, there'll be Black Beauties/Black Les Paul Customs and/or clones this time around. Why do people even strap literal boat anchors on their shoulders, especially on anime girls, is beyond me._ Jokes aside, and nice video btw! It's great to see more people playing guitars. Guitars are not easy, but the rewards you can get out of playing them are fulfilling. I started playing after K-ON and gave up on guitar a few years after, in a rather _explosive_ way, but have decided to come back to playing again in 2018, have been playing almost daily ever since (Thanks, Yorushika and Blues Saraceno). As someone who can't afford lessons and pretty much using YT (way too much information for beginners, tbh) and self-taught for the most part, my advice for people who're reading this, who'd picked up guitar after Bocchi, is to get lessons, have someone who knows what they're doing, to look at your playing and tell you whether you're playing correctly or not. Because it's easy to develop bad playing habits that will either injure you later on, or hinders your overall progress. Someone also mentioned in the comments about guitar setup and I agree with him. A badly setup guitar is more frustrating than not having someone to teach you how to play. As someone who started with a døgsh¡t, 2nd hand guitar, it was a terrible experience. Go to your local guitar store and get a guitar tech to setup up your guitar, or if you're handy with tools, you can also learn to do it yourself, there're plenty of tutorials on how to setup guitar, and the channel I would recommend for this would be Phillip McKnight's channel.
I just saw the entire anime because I saw the solo from it on my shorts and got recommended this video and I 100% agree with everything great video Ps what’s the song that you use for the ending? It sounds like the persona 3 guy but I’m not sure
This video was great ^-^ Made me laugh a lot! Most BTR videos that get published recently aren't exactly the best 😅, so this was a nice change of pace :)
i was thinking "wouldn't it be cool if i could play the bass" for years. and thanks to Bocchi, i now have a bass, and can somewhat play it as well. and it's as awesome as i'd hoped it would be. ...now i just hope that i don't need 3 years if 6 hours daily practice and a random encounter with a girl desperately looking for a bassist right now before i can join a band ;)
Really cool to see that the creator was a Angel Beats fan. Angel Beats was actually one of the things that really got me heavily into guitar, and the music in Bocchi really brings me back.
With me I was already playing guitar for about 13 years, but then I lost inspiration to play. Watched Bocchi and iv been playing almost daily since. I have a lot of the same "issues" bocchi has so ig it hit me in some weird way after watching the show. Always gonna be my #1 show
While bocchi didn't make me start guitar (i have weezer to thank for that) it did make improve more and get better at writing my own riffs and solos. Weezer introduced me into the world of guitar but i never bothered to really improve because i only wanted to learn the easy music i listen to at the time but when bocchi came along it made me go "Hey i should strive to be as good as bocchi! I should start a band and play live!" and I'll forever be grateful for that. PS: That ending music made me sad because i remembered that I didn't play p3r because of no money :(
I do really love bocchi the rock and its introduced me to a new band that i really love and I deff put it in my top 20. Honestly the only thing I don't like is the lack of character development that it felt bocchi had.. it really feels like she never got past or even slightly moved past her social anxiety edit: also the voice acting and animation is crazy in this show (not even mentioning the music)
My Gosh, that gintama ost gave me like 4 heart attacks (it's my ringtone). Anyway, nice to see a bocchi video nowadays, I just started rewatching it with my brother and it's great to recall those fall 2022 memories...
I’ve always been interested in playing guitar but never really felt motivated to actually start learning how to play it. But I recently watched Bocchi The Rock a few weeks ago and am now considering picking it up once I find a new job and start making money again so that I could start taking lessons.
Bocchi immediately made it to my top 10 when it aired. I remember people saying “everyone will move once it’s finished”, but I still think about it all the time. I got volume one of the manga as soon as the translation came out and I’m hoping to get a Bocchi figure at some point. Wish season two will be announced soon!
It does a great job of sticking with you! I wish they'd translate the manga volumes a little faster too we've only got two rn
@@Totaraum I didn’t even know volume 2 had a translation yet. Looks like vol 3 will be released in may, so I’d say that’s not too bad.
i remember the one saying evreyone will move is salty CSM fans
I still check back every few months to see if there’s any new reactions
Just read the fan translations online. Unless you’re a collector
I imagine that part of the reason why S2 is taking so long is because Bocchi’s showrunner is also showrunning Frieren.
If both of these shows keep going for a while, I imagine he’ll be back & forth busy with the both of them pretty consistently. Even if it means they come out slower, I hope he doesn’t leave either because they’re both incredible.

@@AnnohaSF they’re similar in that they both make me happy lol
@@Totaraum so valid
Pretty sure they announced a Bocchi the Rock movie to come out this year
After watching bocchi the rock i got up and finally started playing the drums, something i was fascinated about from like 3 or 5 years of age - i alreadu knew a lot about the drums but never actually touched them in my life, so when i actually took lessons(that didint help me at all and i ended up buying a kit and going the self-taught route) and got better at drums in matter of like 3 months i somehow formed a band (2 of my friends and a random guy i met by a store who accepted the proposal of randomly joining a band) bocchi the rock does some amaizing things lol

As someone with autism, the struggles with social situations are way too relatable. The way they use different animation styles for certain situations just makes it even funnier. There's so much more I could add...
I'm SO glad I watched Bocchi. It almost flew under the radar. It's perfection. Now where's our second season?
Started playing last spring the guitar because of Bocchi, playing every day since then
I got into anime via music..I discovered Japanese female rock!..when I lost my partner to cancer..It was the light in my darkness...And one band in particular I totally fell for....During my investigation into the band and it's creation, I learned that the founder watched K-On! when she was a kid. And it was something that got her thinking of having some kind of musical career......I had never watched anime as such...But gave K-On! a look...I loved it!...I watched other anime and was rather taken by the characters, fun and music of slice of life shows...So I went to Japan (from UK) to see my fav band LIVE and while there visited a number of real life locations used in some of the anime I had watched...I brought manga of those anime in the locations they are set! (even though I don't speak or read Japanese)..So made them abit more special than just buying online.
Your hilarious dude, I love how nonchalant your jokes are, keep it up!
Thank you! I'll be sure to keep at it
I dealt with crippling agoraphobia for a few years, and seeing Bocchi for the first time made me ugly cry like every episode because of how cathartic it was. I also happened to already be playing guitar for a few years when I saw it.
This was a great video! You did a great job being creative with the script. It's always nice to see more Bocchi related content even after a year 😂
Thanks! I actually watched your Bocchi video a few weeks ago because I was worried it covered the same ground as this one lol. It was really good too!
Holy shit congrats on actually learning I bought a guitar because of the show and gave up but I'm hoping to pick it up again soon lol
2 pieces of advice,
One music theory, your basic A-G
B&C are right next to each other on the fretboard, as are E&F
Everything else has a space in between
.
Music theory comes down to 1-3-5-7. Say G-b-D
Jazz is adding something between those G-B-c?E/D?
.
It's not perfect but it'll get u to learn more later
.
2nd piece advice
.
Start off on one string. And just have fun with it practicing
advice number 1
.
You'll have to learn more like string names and strumming patterns
But that's on you. Good luck
.
Oh and a scale so you know what proper learning can do.
Look into rocksmith 2014, look up how to install and play CDLC, and play (basically)whatever songs you want at your own pace, you got this
Bocchi made me appreciate my talents a little bit more. I still wouldn’t necessarily call myself an accomplished but I do appreciate the people who pay to listen to me play. I hope you continue on your guitar journey because it is all about having fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing for a good size crowd, or to yourself in your bed. Guitars are cool and super accessible and I want them to stay that way.
Totaraum guitarist arc?
What will these writers think of next?
Just hope they don't kill off any of my favorite characters...
Fr tho, as a guitarist I love that Bocchi (and K-ON! for that matter) has gotten so many people into guitar. I hope guitar will be as fun for you as it has been for me, keep up the good work!
@@erikk8546 I hope they don't either that would suck lmao. And thank you! Glad to hear the guitar is doing well for you
Bocchi the Rock inspired me to play the guitar and now it's been around a year since I started cause of Bocchi the Rock, I can say I'm one of the guitarists people would say I'm good at it and one of the guitarists pros would say decent, I used to hate guitar because it was widespread and commonly used because of our culture in our country (Philippines) but ever since I watched Bocchi the rock I've been so dedicated to learn the guitar and play their songs
(I'm 14 btw I got an electric guitar on my 13th birthday last year)
(:P LMAO my school hosted a praise and worship concert i got to play in it in a band, formed from our small suggestion to play and turned into the whole concert)
Proud to say I got a friend asking me to teach them and I'm still very dedicated to being a good musician as my life pretty much revolved around music and muscles, I discovered many songs and taken a liking to Rock, Blues, and Metal. Funny how my journey to become a great musician is highly inspired by Bocchi the rock and I'm glad to discover music this way as it has set me a path and now I'm now dedicating my life to becoming a guitarist and to join and play in a band cus Bocchi is so me fr fr
Nice to know that there's other people than just me that decided on guitar because of this goddamn show.
Can't wait till your channel becomes popular! Enjoyed watching
every time i watch ur videos you make me feel so old XD, i can't believe it's been a year since bocchi released.
It's been longer than that lol
You’re reminding me that I need to watch Bocchi lol
Also the new guitarist arc bouta go crazy
Please do! It’s good as hell
Bocchi: The Rock! was so good that I have to exclude it from my rankings for fairness
Great Video! Loved the persona at the end! Good luck at learning guitar!
Thoroughly enjoyed randomly stumbling upon this vid. BTR will always be special to me because it gave me the final push I needed to purchase my own drum kit and start taking lessons. It's so much fun. No regrets.
I thought this video would suck but then it didn’t. Good job 👍
Thanks lol
I should really watch this since K-On! is one of my all time faves. Also, what smooth ass song plays in the video's end credits? I need it
For sure, also that's persona 3 reload ost: ruclips.net/video/RwfV9N2RlgI/видео.html
After the show finished airing I immediately went broke buying a guitar and amp, been playing since. Always thought it would be cool to play guitar but never committed up to that point. Been listening to the songs almost daily too, just because they're so good
i also got into guitar litterly a day after watching bocchi the roch now 3 months later i didnt stop with it for a day and im a lot better at guitar WE LOVE BOCCHI!
That's awesome, hope you keep at it!
@@Totaraum thank u and u too
2:40 today I rewatched the first episode and 'tis a joke that's in exclusively the manga cause they nerfed how incredibly vain Bocchi herself can be in the crunchyroll subs vs the manga. Classmates in the start of the vol. 1 manga thought she had an AK-47 for some chaotic reason in her guitar shaped backpack. So this meme is just even funnier now.
I don't really know what came first a check or egg situation, but if you like this anime, try out Yuru Camp, you might like it too.
This show inspired me to pick up my old guitar that has been sitting in the corner with a broken e-string for 3 years. Ordered new strings after the last episode and just now began practicing again. It's not an electric one, but im thinking of getting a cheap one. At least that old lady (inherited it from my grandpa's sister) is in working condition. Just a crack that needs a bit of glue soon left and it's as good as new. I'm thinking of getting a Bocchi sticker for it as a "thank you for inspiring me".
This and the Tsukihime Remake also served to catapult Ikumi Hasegawa as one of the premiere voice talents in the current era. Which is great, the funny cat from Melty Blood was too talented to slave away forever working on niche text games.
Frieren is also doing work for her rn too
All i gotta say is, May 4th Japan Jam you better be there
Wait that looks fun as shit but I don’t have the money to go to Japan rn lol
if anything needs a 2nd season, it's Bocchi! Movie in 50 Days or so!
This video is awesome! Very funny, and of course any content on this peak media is a must watch whenever it gets recommended.
omg i think this is the best video on bocchi the rock i've seen so far
Bocchi = based. The show really reminded me, that having fun is the most important part of it doing any kind of music. Music uni doesn't promote that enough smh. We really need more teachers/professors, who promote that.
I am jealous of how easily this man laughs at memes
My favorite anime of all time.
Yeah. I just said that. It actually hit me that hard.
Same
As a Bocchi and CSM fan, I’m totally fine with Bocchi beating it in ratings. I do think that CSM season 1 was amazing but it was covering the weakest part of the manga. Bocchi is so damn good that I cosplayed her at Anime Expo this last year and the official merch booth was almost sold out the second day of the con.
This show really is something special. I’ve been a classical musician for my whole life and my dumb brain was convinced that rock music, and especially j-rock music didn’t really count as music. Here I am a few years later as a bass player and rhythm guitarist. (Something I never thought I wanted to do.) I’m in a band in college and spend way too much time listening to j-rock music.
It turns out that guitar feels really easy transitioning from fretless microtonal instruments like cello.
I'm happy for you for starting guitar! I personally watched K-On specifically because I've instruments for so long. You're right, if it's making you happy then keep doing it! That's all that matters. At 29yo, I went back to skateboarding because of some dumb video.
“Free will is a myth, religion is a joke. We’re all pawns controlled by something greater; memes, the dna of the soul” - Monsoon
So yeah. I think most popular things are actually because of memes now, even if not the exact memes Monsoon was talking about.
2:39 This made me laught more than it had any right to
Also, Hamaji-sensei's favorite anime being Angel Beats is nuts, it was my favorite anime too... until well, I watched BTR
I was surprised to see it there too!
As someone whos played music for close to 20 years now, Bocchi is like half the guitar players I've ever met.
6 minutes in and you're genuinely really hilarious and I'll watch the rest of your content and I'm surprised that your channel is super underrated.
Thank you!
This made me realize how much i truly love bocchi the rock
Joey doing the skype thing to picking up a game cube or was that a n64 controller had me
At first i just ignored this anime thinking it's just another boring slice of life anime. When like 3rd episode was out i heard some good opinions about it and i was bored so i decided to watch these 3 episodes and after watching them i realized how wrong i was about this show. Today it's one of my favourite anime. Ryo is literally me fr fr
as a guy in a band, bocchi the rock is my #1 favorite anime of all time bc it’s so REAL
my friend still sends me bocchi the rock memes
that's a good friend
@@Totaraum flounder
Admittedly I started playing guitar because of K-On, so I'm kinda in the same boat. I picked it back up after I lost interest thanks to Bocchi, but I'm losing interest yet again. I do prefer K-On's music however, so if you haven't already, you should definitely try playing some of their songs
I dropped off a few times over the last year too. Focusing on what you like to play and making a consistent schedule has worked well for me though
this had me in tears... i got chills...
0:50 "ever since it was aired, it stayed in the back of my mine. The characters, themes, music, and of course Nijikussy😭"
Bocchi in Gary's Mod works so well cause it looks like it would be an actual skit from the anime
Had I get a guitar when I heard bocchi and my god I have been missing out.
I come from the 'other side' of the hobby angle as BTR made me remember how much fun I had playing drumset since I hadn't touched it in a fee years. In that tike I was more focused on other percussive insturments. The show means a lot to many people in different ways, and while "She's just like me fr" continues on, it would be more accurate to say that because the cast are all exaggerated traits of different types of people, there's something of yourself to see in all of them (probably). What spoke to me was that it came out in a down period for me when I was no longer making music in an ensemble, and made me think back on how those moments were special to me. Then I got off my chair and went back to it.
As someone that got into guitar because of K-On back when it aired, doing so with Bocchi is super legit
This show single-handedly convinced me to pick up guitar again
The pipeline of Weezer being the reason Bocchi exists now extends to those who learned an instrument because of Bocchi
Bocchi was an anime I didn't start till like episode 9 and fell in love with
Literally 1 year later bocchi the rock content amazing
Goddamn I’m gunna freak out I gotta rewatch this show again GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I am a Bocchi fan. This video is awesome! I am now a new subscriber.
The people who connected to Bocchi are the same people who years ago would've been like, "She just like me frfr!" To Umaru-chan.
THE FUCKING SCHIZO BIT GOT ME FUCKING ROLLING HOLY SHIT!
The memes, Jack. The DNA of the soul.
_Bocchi The Rock's the K-ON of the 2020s, instead of 2nd hand Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standards and/or clones appearing in guitar stores all over the world, there'll be Black Beauties/Black Les Paul Customs and/or clones this time around. Why do people even strap literal boat anchors on their shoulders, especially on anime girls, is beyond me._
Jokes aside, and nice video btw! It's great to see more people playing guitars. Guitars are not easy, but the rewards you can get out of playing them are fulfilling. I started playing after K-ON and gave up on guitar a few years after, in a rather _explosive_ way, but have decided to come back to playing again in 2018, have been playing almost daily ever since (Thanks, Yorushika and Blues Saraceno).
As someone who can't afford lessons and pretty much using YT (way too much information for beginners, tbh) and self-taught for the most part, my advice for people who're reading this, who'd picked up guitar after Bocchi, is to get lessons, have someone who knows what they're doing, to look at your playing and tell you whether you're playing correctly or not. Because it's easy to develop bad playing habits that will either injure you later on, or hinders your overall progress.
Someone also mentioned in the comments about guitar setup and I agree with him. A badly setup guitar is more frustrating than not having someone to teach you how to play. As someone who started with a døgsh¡t, 2nd hand guitar, it was a terrible experience. Go to your local guitar store and get a guitar tech to setup up your guitar, or if you're handy with tools, you can also learn to do it yourself, there're plenty of tutorials on how to setup guitar, and the channel I would recommend for this would be Phillip McKnight's channel.
I just saw the entire anime because I saw the solo from it on my shorts and got recommended this video and I 100% agree with everything great video
Ps what’s the song that you use for the ending? It sounds like the persona 3 guy but I’m not sure
13:29 Bokita confirmed
This video was great ^-^ Made me laugh a lot! Most BTR videos that get published recently aren't exactly the best 😅, so this was a nice change of pace :)
"She...she just... like me?! SHE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR!!"
I have rewatched Bocchi the Rock!, around 6 times now, and reread volume 1, and 2 around 3 times each...
i was thinking "wouldn't it be cool if i could play the bass" for years. and thanks to Bocchi, i now have a bass, and can somewhat play it as well. and it's as awesome as i'd hoped it would be.
...now i just hope that i don't need 3 years if 6 hours daily practice and a random encounter with a girl desperately looking for a bassist right now before i can join a band ;)
Really cool to see that the creator was a Angel Beats fan. Angel Beats was actually one of the things that really got me heavily into guitar, and the music in Bocchi really brings me back.
With me I was already playing guitar for about 13 years, but then I lost inspiration to play. Watched Bocchi and iv been playing almost daily since. I have a lot of the same "issues" bocchi has so ig it hit me in some weird way after watching the show. Always gonna be my #1 show
While bocchi didn't make me start guitar (i have weezer to thank for that) it did make improve more and get better at writing my own riffs and solos. Weezer introduced me into the world of guitar but i never bothered to really improve because i only wanted to learn the easy music i listen to at the time but when bocchi came along it made me go "Hey i should strive to be as good as bocchi! I should start a band and play live!" and I'll forever be grateful for that.
PS: That ending music made me sad because i remembered that I didn't play p3r because of no money :(
I do really love bocchi the rock and its introduced me to a new band that i really love and I deff put it in my top 20. Honestly the only thing I don't like is the lack of character development that it felt bocchi had.. it really feels like she never got past or even slightly moved past her social anxiety
edit: also the voice acting and animation is crazy in this show (not even mentioning the music)
The fact that Bocchi the Rock is tied with number 1 anime for me with Edgerunners should say something.
man, i am a guitar player for over 10 years now... Ryo Yamada is the sole reason i stopped taking pills and bought myself a bass...
if they make season 2, which i REALLY want to happen, my year will be made
My Gosh, that gintama ost gave me like 4 heart attacks (it's my ringtone). Anyway, nice to see a bocchi video nowadays, I just started rewatching it with my brother and it's great to recall those fall 2022 memories...
This anime magically makes half the people who watch it get into guitar. Even me
1:12 wash away the anger
I’ve always been interested in playing guitar but never really felt motivated to actually start learning how to play it. But I recently watched Bocchi The Rock a few weeks ago and am now considering picking it up once I find a new job and start making money again so that I could start taking lessons.
@@katylepetsos7512 I hope you do! It’s super rewarding and fun
@@TotaraumI just started self teaching the other day, I plan on working really hard and make some good progress for the future.
