And that's a wrap! I'm glad that the hilarity continued the whole way through the finale. Season 2 when????

This show stuck the landing for sure unlike Bocchi. Probably the first moment in this show where I felt actively uncomfortable in how awkward it was but it was all good after that. Glad we got a couple more songs too, the CD comes out this week, hopefully that will have everything (including that SICK HACK song that isn’t on streaming atm)

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
Kita might be the resident Bocchi expert but she still needs serious training for that move with the mic. Stunning results though. Felt every ounce of the terror Bocchi did given that situation.

For once Youtube made things better! Astounding.

Also Bocchi's parent's skepticism from episode 7 suddenly makes more sense in light of what she was posting on her channel. Also shoutouts to the return of Dams!

One thing that I genuinely like about the series is that Bocchi really is really drat good at playing her Guitar, the series never questions her skill at that. Same for Hiroi, she's drunk as a skunk in a funk for 100% of the series, but she caught on to what was happening at the concert sooner than anyone else.

Hiroi is basically the shounen comic relief who's actually really OP but in a Slice of Life series.

Hard to pick whick Bocchi was the most powerful in this final episode, but I'm leaning towards Headbanger Bocchi.
This show loving rules imo

I relate so much to Ryo's gear whoring. "You always need another bass" is the truest statement in the world, and my four need a new friend. Her going ham on the Stingray reminds me of how I ended up getting mine.

GAS is a hell of a drug.

Bocchi's choice on the Yamaha is solid, they're little workhorses.

Given the album cover homages and lots of neat music stuff it's clear the author is a big music fan and the anime got that too

The whole album's up on Spotify/Youtube Music, has been since the episode came out in Japan.

The last track on the album (that also ended the last episode) is an Asian Kung-Fu Generation cover sung by Bocchi herself.

This ED really is just the perfect closer since the girls' surnames are all inspired from the surnames of that band. I always though it was interesting that bocchi is just lead guitar since AKFG gotou is the frontman, so having her sing this is obvious in hindsight but it still hits hard.

Just marathoned this show today because someone in the TVIV Discord recommended it. Wow, the art/animation were superb, the music super good, and the humor top notch. Easily one of my top three animes of 2022.

cool bc there was a new chapter uploaded today (32). i believe the manga has five volumes released and some chapters beyond that, but the scans are only about halfway through volume 3.

the final chapter matching up to the anime is chapter 21.

So, do any of y'all know if this anime was renewed or a one-and-done thing? And are the manga volumes going to sell physically in stores?

i don't think there's been any news on a second season or any english release but the show was extremely well-received, so it can't hurt the chances

I like how the chapter covers are all references to real album covers.

With most seasonal anime that adapt manga they tend to be one-and-done to start with, and might get a follow-up down the road if it was popular enough and there's enough material to adapt. For now this is it, but it is possible it'll get a sequel in the future.

there was no season 2 planned but the show was very popular so i'm sure the producers are regretting that and we'll probably get more eventually.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

the show's popular, the manga is ongoing with no sign of ending anytime soon, the anime seems to have massively boosted manga sales, and kirara manga (the magazine the manga runs in) specifically generally get second seasons if the first was even kind of successful (k-on, new game, hidamari sketch, is the order a rabbit, yuru camp, et. all)

that said, the staff has a lot of overlap with the dress up darling anime, which is already confirmed for a season 2, so any news on bocchi will probably wait until after that.

Endorph

if i had to guess, its a matter of when, not if, but id say the when is probably mid-2024 at the earliest.

If there’s more manga and the anime had a good effect on sales then I imagine there will be another season
