I'm so glad Bocchi the Rock is debuting at a time after my wrist sprain has healed, so I'm just immediately motivated to practice guitar for 3 hours a day again

This was a fun episode. They went all out with the visual gags in this one and it rules.

sucks to be right
So Bocchi's about to play a gig at the school fair where she's going to get a big solo, plus she's using her highly distinctive guitar, plus people are filming it on their phones and probably posting it online ...

I'm guessing her anonymous Youtuber status is about to get flipped

I mean, Haruhi was an an actual big shift. That was what scientists call "bazonkers" levels of hype. That said, and given the last performance was getting called moment of the season, I think it would rate a solid 7. Again, God Knows and everything Haruhi was shatteringly huge for an anime moment.

So do we think there's any significance to Bocchi's dad never having his face visible?

I suspect it's a compromise departure from the usual Kirara prohibition on filthy males appearing in their CGDCT properties.

Picked this up late. Couldn't help myself with the parallels and interleaved Given for my partner to watch for the first time too. It even hits beats on the same episode sometimes, just wildly different in tone.

Somehow didn't notice the ED change until the third one, which every four episodes would be pretty wild if this wasn't airing parallel to Chainsaw Man's ED madness.

The original reference was to the various gang thugs in Fist of the North Star. But if Mad Max is the more well known post-apocalyptic setting in your region it probably works okay as an alternative.

Fist of the North Star started a bit over a year after the release of The Road Warrior, which came out in Japan at the same time as Aus while delayed elsewhere (I never really looked this up until now, I just know a lot of Australian film did well in Japan). Not to mention Kenshiro has Max's single shoulder pad thing at times. It's kinda both, as a specific flavor of post-apoc. I've always enjoyed the creative through-line from Mad Max through Hokuto and Berserk even into Soulsborne games now. Seems Armored Core is next for that 'walk the barren earth' flavor.

I found a google sheet someone put together with all (or most) of the fanart album cover parodies, the song they parody, and links to both. Pretty neat.

The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
Bocchi's culture fest concert should be entirely in Bocchivision, and just be the entirety of Queen's Live Aid set rotoscoped onto the cast. Kita plays piano now, so what.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I watched through everything there is in like two sittings, this show is really special. Incredibly relatable for someone who has that same kind of anxiety and they really don’t shy away from the weird and wild ways your brain lies to you.

Also every single song slaps, I found it all on Apple Music and I can’t stop listening to it, they don’t feel like songs from a tv show it just feels like a really solid rock EP. I’m excited to see if we get one more this week to round it out

i'd say it's likely we get more than one, there's whatever we get in the festival and we still haven't gotten bocchi's character song yet

Any news for a second season?

Tales of Woe

such announcements are usually after the last episode, at the earliest.

the team for this is largely the same as dress up darling which already got a s2 announcement so they'd presumably have to make that first

doing bisque doll first would also give the manga a bit time to build up more material for them to adapt, idk if theres enough material for a second season yet (i havent read the latest volume)

that said this has been very successful and the manga is ongoing so a second season seems very likely, its more a matter of when

Scans go up to volume 3 which is in the middle of a story arc so we don't have enough material for a second season yet but should in a year or two

Yeah, there's plenty of content for exactly one more season so if it can do that and an original movie about them going to, I don't know... England? we'd have an ideal run.
