As an introverted musician who struggles to connect with other people, Bocchi The Rock was absolutely phenomenal. It’s one of the only shows where I feel like I can actually relate to the characters on a personal level, which allowed me to truly enjoy the show. It’s also so refreshing to see musicians portrayed in a realistic way, no one is just given the talent if being a great musician, and everyone makes at least some mistakes, especially under intense pressure. It really makes the show even more relatable than it already was

As a 20 old year who just started learning guitar and finished bochi the roch , it is my favourite anime now.
@SmoothAsFelt
Paused about halfway through this video, binged the entire season, and then came back to finish this video. Thank you for the recommendation. Bocchi the Rock made me laugh, tear up, feel immense stress, and even greater euphoria. What a lovely piece of art this was

Interesting fact: I believe when Kita's VA gave that nervous vocal performance, it was completely genuine because the voice director sprung on her last minute that they would use the first take no matter what and she got super nervous.

Introverted drummer, here. I can't honestly say I've ever related to a character more than Bocchi. I was fine playing with my friends, but when the time came to play live, I shut down. Walking out onto the stage was a nightmare, and I was the most important instrument. One slip up and everything could fall apart. My guitarist stood facing me rather than the audience so that I could focus on and get into a groove with him instead of focusing on the dozens of eyes in front of me. After 3 or 4 gigs, I was all about showing off and happily playing away with little to no care about the audience. I, uh, never gained the ability to not be super anxious outside of performing, though. I still sit alone, in a corner, and keep to myself and struggle to interact with other people.
@JusterinoSan
Being a drummer in bands this show was very relatable- namely episode 8. I've stumbled and messed up on stage but once you get in the groove youre in it. Im also somewhat introverted so I can relate to bocchi and her mannerisms. Also the feel of being on stage from the anime and doing it myself is very on point. Love this anime!
@thecluckster3908
Dang gotta add another show to the “I gotta watch this” pile
@DarkThomy
Omg YES, SO YES ! I personnally felt that moment when "playing solo IS NOT the same skill as playing in a group". That solo you mentionned, that's also a moment that strucked me as phenomenal on so many levels ! And I heard the small details of people "underperforming", or when the music part is simpler etc. Crazy. And as an introvert, I've never seen a show so on point about it !
@MikoYae
This show really connects to me. I've always admired music, it really made a big portion of my childhood and I remember learning multiple instruments at a young age. I've always wanted to form a band but my friends and colleagues weren't as interested in making music as I. As time flew by, I deviated in music and went into engineering, which I'm currently studying right now. I can tell that what I'm learning isn't cut out for me, but I've already invested too much time into it so it's too late to change career pathways. This anime is pretty much my fanfiction if I decided to stick to music, so I loved every second of it. Didn't expect their music to be a cherry on top too
@doubue9158
Musicians here are portrayed so well. I used to be in my school's rock band as a guitarist in high school and the feelings that Bocchi portrays are so relatable. From the before and after's of the performance, the anxiety (I used to have stage fright), the feelings, the loud heartbeat when you know it's about to start, the practice times, and the non-verbal communication between the band members. It is SO well done and I am so glad that musicians are shown how they are realistically. So many of my friends I know (who perform and play instruments) can relate to this show very, VERY well and I would like to mention that this anime is probably my favorite by now 😭
@cube_cup
Another thing that I was blown away by was how they added Hiroi jamming along with Bocchi outside. Improvising, expecting, and learning as the song goes on. The exact opposite of Ryou.
@BurnttBurrito
Very well made, surprised it only had 300 views
@cthellis
Episode 8’s performance of Ano Bando immediately catapulted to near the top of my favorite musical scenes from anime, which usually takes some doing. But the whole experience, ESPECIALLY the haphazard performance prior, her dwelling on the day before and her “first fans,” who look disappointed… “But…. I refuse to let it stay this way!” Her solo reveal, Kikuri watching her like she expected it, the full song performance (helps it’s one of their best songs, but that may be reinforced by the scene) It’s all just transcendent. I go back to rewatch just this periodically, to reinforce why I love the show. Tho only musical scenes I could say still “exceed” for me is E7 from Kids on the Slope (the medley scene) and the regionals performance S2E5 of Hibike Euphonium, which represents the best crescendo in history.
@canapesensei
This deserves allot of views
@andershour
Bocchi's hair is cool!
@benpurcell4935
Girls Band Cry is another great anime about music and it plays such an integral part of the story. As is Jellyfish or Sound Euphonium.
@Piemasta9000
I have always had an interest in learning guitar. roughly 10 years ago when I first watched K-on I even got myself very, VERY cheap electric guitar. but just didn't have the drive to actually learn. Bocchi the Rock ended up being the one that got me to finally pick it up for real. I have been practicing nearly everyday now since early may of this year. Bocchi very quickly became my favorite show because of this. But also, I only realized I was the target audience for this show after watching it. I was unaware that I had social anxiety. Which I have been actively working on improving since
@Anime-sy2tw
This is my favourite anime right now. It’s just perfect.
@rampelotti521
I'm not a musician, and yet, bocchi the rock is my favorite anime ever, just because of the sheer quality and dedication in everything
