Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
Yeah, SHELTER has been a shrine for Bocchi fans since the anime and for a while afterwards had signs asking fans to be respectful and not block patrons.
Everything I've seen of people visiting looks awesome.

It must be weird to just randomly become an iconic spot because some creative liked the look of your building. It’s like the Full House house or the Ghostbusters firehouse, all of a sudden you just have a bunch of nerds stopping by to take pictures (and hopefully nothing more disruptive). When I went in January it was an off day so I had to wander around for a minute before I could even find it. Got my picture though. Honestly next time I go to Japan I can see myself spending more time in Shimokita generally, hipster neighborhoods rule. There’s a great record shop a few blocks away too.

edit: also I think this week’s Kikuri is another tiny step towards her maybe not drinking so much

It’s funny how anime fans are so impressionable but also don’t know necessarily how to function at all so they’re willing to try the new things but have to be told how to do it and not die (see also, the end cards on every episode of Yuru Camp).

reminds me of the instructions for martial arts moves in Holyland that the author put in there because he already knows that the readers will want to try it themselves. Leading to a friend of mine picking up boxing after reading it. Maybe bocchi will have this same effect. Leading to people becoming guitarists.

It got me back into playing guitar again after like 5 years of not playing.

I'd been playing guitar pretty seriously before 2020 but the peak of the pandemic really killed interest in that for a while so it was nice to watch Bocchi and feel the urge to play a lot again.

there was an article on sankei news that crunchyroll reported on saying that guitar sales had increased by like 73% in the past year. music retailers like ishibashi are attributing this to bocchi and recovery from a decline in sales after covid hit and people couldn't form bands.

the biggest increase in sales went to the pacifica 611 bocchi gets, which increased sales threefold

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Ok I was talking with some people about Bocchi in a discord and Weezer came up and I decided that Bocchi would absolutely love Pinkerton, because Weezer is a big inspiration for one of her favorite bands and Pinkerton feels like the sort of deeply ugly lyrics that Bocchi would dream of writing

What American albums would the others like? In my head Kita’s a big pop music fan and would eat up some Olivia Rodrigo because it’s squarely aimed at teenage girls who like more rock-tinged music but I’m having more trouble with the other two

She does but the way nijika reacts makes it seem like she’s just loving around trying to seem cool/weird

Ryo probably does have a very eclectic taste overall

I feel like Ryo might be a fan of Gorillaz, given the wide range of subgenres they cover, but they might also be too mainstream for her.
