I like Bocchi, and I don't agree with his take, but for me I just kinda watched and let him go and devolve into the "birds in cage" thing with K-On, and just enjoyed the chaos. I think in a real life social situation where you give your opinion to other people, your bound to have an exaggerated take at some point, especially so if the other people disagree with you, and that discussion continues. Versus making a scripted video, where you can map the opinion all out, and spend a lot more time constructing it. (Well, even scripts like that could manage those errors too, but what I mean is it can feel easier to find opportunities to see the errors with the take when presenting it, and then rephrase it before posting.

What happens in BTR is basically what happens in an introvert's head when they are in a similar situation. And Joey's take is like saying (for example) "no one explodes like a balloon when they are under social pressure". Well, obviously, but that's definitely how an introvert feels. Or, a more "plausible" example: "no one would hide in a box/trash bin/etc", but a socially anxious person would sure as hell feel like doing that sometimes. Funnily enough tho, we also see what goes on in Bocchi's head, so it's introverception or smth xd

Lol what he talking about ?! , at least bocchi managed to have friends and go to school , some people can't even go to school and barely talks to thier family from social anxiety

Damn the Bocchi takes hurt lol. Its a very accurate depiction of social anxiety, and the absurdly unrealistic and exaggerated art direction reflects that. People with social anxiety tend to get locked in a feedback loop of anxiety, and even very mundane and simple situations can seem like a very real threat. What can start as a thought can suddenly transform into a train of dread, panic, and catastrophizing. The art direction excels in delivering Bocchi's thought process and anxiety. What the show also gets right is the importance of a good support system and that getting over social anxiety is a slow process. I actually love Bocchi's progression through the show because it feels earned and its not rushed. She'd go into her panic state many times when you're first introduced to her, and she does go through that panic throughout the show, but as the show progresses, her friends pick up on her behavior, triggers, and learn how to adapt to help her, even to the point of snapping her out of it sometimes. You have crucial moments in the show too where Bocchi realizes that things aren't bad as she thought, like during her street performance where she realized she didn't have any enemies in front of her. Its those little bouts of progression that are realistic and its what makes it hit home. On the surface, its a cute girls doing cute things music anime like K-ON, but its actually a deep psychological and mental commentary on introvertedness, social anxiety, band life, etc.

@@harichiman5804 It's very obvious Joey has never met an introvert before, whereas you can tell Garnt (because he's the only one among the three who relates to Bocchi) and Connor (although it's clear to him that those kinds of people irritate him greatly) have.

Man I made this comment before when a clip of this discussion surfaced before but since it's officially uploaded I gotta make this comment again. At 4:13 Joey and Connor are missing the point by miles, especially when calling out the guy who raised his hand for being as socially awkward as Bocchi. I don't think that they're doing this on purpose but because, most likely, they've never been socially awkward. BTR is hilarious at its depictions of social anxiety but they're still absolutely grounded in real experiences, the mangaka has either been through those experiences or they have done excellent research because as a socially awkward person, I have felt every single one of those and which is why I enjoyed the show so much. As with Bocchi again, most of it is just your mind running off the rails, which is why I think people who haven't had the same experiences cannot understand it completely. But the way the internal ramblings are portrayed are scarily accurate. I fail to remember at this point how many times I've come home to absolutely painful headaches from school or social events because I had to try to make sense of the situation, calm myself, keep track of what's being said and implied and say what I want to say in a way that it precisely means what I want it to mean. All of this had to be done where I would have to run through multiple options of what to say or do or how to stand and where to stand or how to stand so I put my best foot forward and don't come off as aggressive, creepy or weird. For someone who doesn't have it imagine taking 10 calls at the same time and none of the subjects being discussed at the same time have to do anything with the others. All of these mental gymnastics mean that eventually there comes a point where you avoid social situations because the recovery from them is a greater chore than being in them and trying to blow some steam off. Does all this worrying have any use? Absolutely not, most people don't remember or care and even those who do, don't think too much about it or bring it up to you. But you always think that you're being judged and there's not much that you can do about it, since talking about it somewhat taboo as well. Which is why as that person in the audience who raised their hand, it's much easier than all the mental stress to somehow get it out there that yes I'm socially awkward which prepares the other party for the conversation which might not be as fluid as they might get from a sociable person. Joey with that question invited the opportunity for that person but then immediately shut it down, to his perspective it makes perfect sense that an absolutely socially awkward person would never have the confidence to admit such a thing. But to a socially awkward person, getting it out there that you are, in a way that isn't derogatory sets the tone of the conversation and the eventual engagement with the other party to be on much more neutral terms where you don't have to absolutely exhaust yourself. It's just as if you're learning another language and you tell the other person that you're not that great at it so they can accommodate you by being more understanding and talking in a way that is intelligible and comfortable for you. In such a context, the other person is also going to be a lot more forgiving of your small mistakes and understand that you don't mean to be insult or offend them. It's something that's rather easy to dismiss by someone who hasn't experienced it but is absolutely crucial to understand how someone who has social anxiety thinks and acts

Thank you for this comment and yeah, I agree with everything you said. I feel like Joey has never been in the shoes of one with social anxiety or a loner. He’s probably experienced some social awkwardness and thinks that’s how social anxiety works, but doesn’t realize how severe it can be for some people. I’ve been that one guy in highschool without any friends, the guy in graduation who had no one to celebrate with, while all my peers are cheering and having the times of their lives and their bittersweet goodbyes. Meanwhile I’m too scared to even say hi back to a classmate, too scared to talk in class discussions so I take the hit to my grade, the guy who misses his presentations, or ends up shaking throughout it. The guy in the corner who talks to no one and looks gloomy all the time, which I’m not. I think it’s crucial for one with social anxiety to have a strong support system, but ironically that’s one of the hardest things to get because social anxiety literally inhibits it. Bocchi’s introduction was one where she admitted she had social anxiety which made it easier for her not to pretend, the show is honestly very realistic at depicting it. I’m still hopeful because I’ll be starting college soon and I’ve gotten better the past year but it does get challenging at times. I think I’m pretty blessed in life despite all this so im hopeful about the future at the very least. Idk where i was going with this but I love bocchi the rock

Extremely social anxious people definitely do exist. Bocchi shows how people who have social anxiety think people think of them, albeit atill being a bit dramatized because it's anime.

Comparing Bocchi to Beck is more fair than comparing it to K-On story-wise. And I understand how Joey finds Bocchi cringe, he's already 28 god dammit! He's old enough to have experienced those social anxiety and overcame them. Well, I suppose he did. Me whos still 22 yo, I still find Bocchi relatable because... let's just say she's just like me frfr. The exaggeration of every social interaction really hits too close to home.

A better take will be to compare the show to Komi san and in that comparison it would have tackled more of the strengths of each show and how it portrays social anxiety/social anxiety disorder. For me Bocchi really shows to light the behind-the-scenes of it, the overthinking, the what ifs, then the way she talks is the killer really, its so spot on for me. While in Komi san it shows that despite that inability of expressing everything verbally, a lot is shown with a few gestures and writing what to communicate instead. At the end of it all both of them have special places in my heart.

same here and I'm 20 years old.

Having social anxiety is very difficult to deal with. You WANT to socialize with people but also your brain keeps scaring you with all these small stuffs that is probably not a big deal to begin with. aka overthinking. You will always assume the worst and take it as granted. I feel like Bocchi definitely capture perfectly what goes in the mind of someone who has it. But, of course, some of it are exaggerated like the time where she thought she could be sentenced to death for messing up work. nahh I don't think it goes THAT far. I would probably stop at "being a hot topic on the internet and be made fun of" part. But I wouldn't know either cause mine's not that extreme as her. Maybe someone else is. Really depends on the person. I understand that if someone claims Bocchi's condition as not normal. It's because it is not. But, it is very real. Hence why it's recognized as a mental disorder in the first place.

Trash taste living up to their name I see.

The problem with the Bocchi take is that they see it as it is, an exaggerated expression of the real thing. However if you actually paid attention to the show it’s obvious that Bocchi doesn’t actually explode, glitch out or etc… As Nijika can see how Bocchi reacts from time to time, it’s just presented like that for the viewers to understand what goes in a mind of person with social anxiety, because it makes way more easy and hilarious to understand how much a person is stressed out by making them glitch out than just have them go blank for the nth time. So yes, Bocchi is relatable for people with social anxiety and some cringe moments some of us have done around that age.

The reason I prefer Beck over Bocchi was for simply not relating to Bocchi enough. I never struggled to make friends or with social interaction. But I struggled with finding out what I wanted to do with my life, I felt like a failure because of how bad my grades were and I thought my life was pretty much over. But then I started playing guitar, and I loved it. So when I watched Beck and saw how much I related to Koyuki, it instantly became my favorite anime of all time.

Social Anxiety Disorder is not something you can just "get over." Its symptoms can't be dispelled by saying "No one is like that." It is a mental illness. It's possible to adapt to one's self-understanding and improved social responses, but that is basically luck emerging into daylight. It's not introversion, which is a perspectival phenomenon in which a person simply processes their world through a distance. People, when they are treated for it, are best treated by a fairly substantial program of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and medications ranging from SSRIs to benzodiazepines. The reason for that is to give them some stability through the drugs that will help them get to their feet in therapy and personal practice, and empower them to stay that way as much as possible. In order to cope with social pressure, people have to calibrate themselves with an identifiable world. Even if they hate their world, they learn how to adjust in an adaptive way and maintain their neurological equilibrium, which results in less systemic anxiety due to an inability to calibrate and adapt. People with Social Anxiety Disorder are in a constant state of physical and neurological turbulence because calibration with the outside, namely society, is so erratic and sometimes nonexistent. Their brains are flooding with anxiety and stress chemicals, memory dysfunction, and general distress. This causes them to socialize chaotically and catastrophize with every real or anticipated failure, due to a constant neurological storm cued and reinforced by behavior prior to and after terrible chaotic events in their brains. In addition, clinical depression and mania can join the party. Bocchi and Tomoko of Watamote both suffer from this illness. They are not calibrated to society the way most people are and have to be. Watamote is so disturbing because the stakes are so high: in real life she'd be a suicide risk without intervention likely. Bocchi is in way better shape because she has a large number of people who love her and protect her.

At this point Joey's taste in anime doesn't matter anymore. To be honest I wish I hadn't been recommended this video. I just remembered the day when a few Chainsawman fans started leaving hate comments in Bocchi the Rock review videos, and a fight broke out between the two fandoms

The thing about this is that Joey not only judges Bocchi the Rock wrong, he also has no fucking idea what K-On is like anymore. Honestly, its disheartening to see how many people fall for the stupid "K-On is only CGDCT" meme, one that only got popular in the first place because of Gigguk's terrible anime review on K-On back on his AZ days. K-On has slice of life, but fuck off with this narrative that K-On doesn't care about the music. Azusa's introduction is quite literally a way to push the narrative forward and make the girls grow out of their lethargy and pursue music more seriously. Not only do they explore that aspect, but they also expand on it showing the underground scene and other bands/perspectives. K-On is a coming of age story, it doesn't rely as heavily on music as Bocchi does, but it IS also central to its narrative. One of K-On's second season episodes perfectly exemplifies this when the girls go watch a rock show at the Budokan and that experience is life changing for them because they're comparing themselves with professionals. Not only that, but K-On is also meant to be specially appealing towards the female viewers (and it had a meaningful female viewership). While the original manga was Seinen, the anime only took it as a foundation and made its own thing with it. More than 80% of K-On's content is original and made by director Naoko Yamada and scriptwriter Reiko Yoshida, their intention with K-On was to portray the female adolescence in a drama. Specifically, they even meant to downplay the moe aspect and focus more on the human aspects of the girls. As such, K-On isn't an stagnant show, but one that focuses a lot on the passing of time, on the ephemeral nature of adolescence and growing up and the girls never stop developing. It is an understatement how much Joey's and Gigguk's remarks about K-On never truly grasp what the show is actually about.

I feel that Bocchi the Rock is a lot more relatable than K-On. As a musician myself, musicians having social anxiety is realistic, but maybe not to the extent as Bocchi. But the upbringing being in a band is also very realistic. The anime talks about doing pre-sale tickets, doing a DIY photoshoot, fucking up on stage even though we rehearsed the songs many times, not having a big crowd, that one band member that just spends their money all the time on a million musical instruments that they didn't need, and several other things. Watching that anime, I felt a lot of resemblance with all of the characters with my own band.

So what I get out of this is that extremely socially anxious people don't exist. The shows also entertaining because it exaggerates the social anxiety with the animation for the comedy if Bocchi was mildly socially anxious it wouldn't be as entertaining or cover as many bases for different people and if we're going to say Bocchi's unrealistic are we just going to forget Komi exists - both of them develop little by a little out of social anxiety difference is Bocchi is primarily comedy with a focus on it's characters (and the main plot is character development out of that social anxiety) while Komi is a romcom with a lot of side characters.

Pfft! I love BTR because it’s a good show, not because she is relatable. I like the show because Bocchi is funny as heck. Her actions make me laugh. All the other characters are super funny too and the animation style changes are amazing. None of the other supposed funny shows like Grand Blue or Saiki K ever made me laugh as much as Boccher and the band.

I don't watch Kuroko no basket expecting to see just a full basketball game. I expect to see an exaggerated one that makes you feel like you're a part of the real thing. It's the same with Bocchi. Her social anxiety is exaggerated so you can feel the real thing

The thing about Bocchi is that not a single one of the things she actually does because of her social anxiety is unrealistic for a person with social anxiety to do, the anime exaggerates in a way, except the only thing that it actually exaggerates is the fact that she does ALL of these things for the sake of giving as many people with social anxiety as possible something they can relate to. Saying that it's unrealistic and that no person is this socially awkward is straight-up wrong. Social anxiety can also go by the name "sociophobia", or "social phobia", in other words, social anxiety is a phobia, and just like any other phobia, It's a SEVERE and IRRATIONAL fear, just of social situations and interactions. As for the over-the-top portrayal of Bocchi's thoughts in the situations she's put in, those aren't things you would actually be able to see when they happen in the minds of people with social anxiety, even if you're close with the person in question. The mind will wander when put in these situations, and it can go as far as it goes for Bocchi, it's just, again, exaggerated in how many different directions it goes for the sake of relatability.

And the original director sadly passed away. And the music (unless they kept the songs) would be completely different and probably not hit the same.

Gosh idk how social anxiety is with some people but ive experienced extreme social anxiety at some point in my life. I had to go to a training camp for school and then i had to live with people from different schools for a while and i can't even start a conversation with other people most i can do is simple greeting and nod. and worst, i didnt have internet at that time. The whole experience felt like an eternity for me, my eyes was dry all the time i could feel the saliva in my mouth and the air around my skin more than ever. After the trip, I decided to improve my social skills and not mess up once i start high school. I try not to think about that experience so much but watching bocchi the rock reminded me, and thinking about it now I can just laugh it off because im not what I used to be :))))

i can't even leave the house...

I think the thing with Bocchi is that it can capture people outside of it's audience/genre. Loved Bocchi, but tried watching K-On and dropped three episodes in because it was so hard to keep myself engaged. From what I hear, the main thing for K-On is the relationship building, but for me Bocchi got that click instantly.

I've always felt that Joey takes on Bocchi the Rock's interpretation of anxiety being too "unrealistic" is a bit dismissive. I think the reason why Bocchi's depiction of anxiety resonates so hard with people isn't because it is a 100% accurate representation, but it's over the top visuals, near comical situations and Bocchi's behaviour, is ironically the closest we've gotten to a light-hearted but well articulated take on an interpretation on anxiety, depression and mental health issues. Mental Health has always been tough to articulate or visualize because it's very internalised. That's why Bocchi's depiction hits hard for people with social anxiety of varying levels in my opinion. It articulates the feelings so well, and the rest of the cast don't dismiss Bocchi's anxiety or expects her to just "get over it" immediately. It's a show about cute girls playing music, with a side of mental health issues and depictions. In the end to each their own, and the Bocchi argument is just getting stale. I just hope Joey doesn't double down on his take just because he sees so many people disagree with him, but I'm not holding my breath regarding that either.

In the end it is about opinions and taste, so having his own opinion and trash taste is normal, it just feels too much like a lecture rather than opinion from his side. If I had to say, the worst part was him cringing about Bocchi having social anxiety etc. He clearly does not have and never had these problems. I think I can respect only Garnt when it comes to anime/manga. Joey and Connor being hottakers in different way (only Joey talks in a way you would thought he is making solid arguments).

K-ON or I guess KyoAni set the path for cute girls doing cute things. Even for SoL itself as well. Bocchi just took a different approach with its humor and use of art style. It was a hilarious show and has some good messages. But bocchi wouldn't be without its predecessors. Both did great in muisc aspect. But k-on really gave more attention to their characters and had a strong finish. Also joey the goat for liking drunk senpai. Best character in the show.

Man, Joey saying his takes with such confidence to the audience expecting them to agree and laugh with him just for some people in the audience go "...haha" is actual peak cringe LOL You can actually tell how much everyone was disagreeing with his takes. Leaving jokes aside, you can tell that Joey doesn't know the first thing about how someone with social anxiety feels. Of course Bocchi's behavior is exaggerated, it's an anime after all and it's important for comedic effect, but the mental process and the way she reacts to certain situations is exactly how most people with social anxiety experiment certain situations. The best example of this is literally when she was trying to enter Starry but she didn't know if it was okay for her to go in, or what would she do if there was no one there, or maybe wait for someone else to arrive and then go in, this has literally happened to me when trying to into a clothing shop and I saw too many people and instantly went "but what if someone talks to me, what should I do? How should I react if one of the employees ask me if I'm looking for something?" and all of these thoughts happen in an instant. The point of Bocchi having a similar arc every episode is literally how you work on your social anxiety from a psychological and therapeutic perspective, you have to change your perspective by having a different feedback from new positive experiences, but it takes time and courage of putting yourself in a social environment, and of course the change doesn't happen from one day to another, that's why Bocchi has to go through similar experiences, but she evidently becomes more and more capable of facing social situations, which is a disservice from Joey's take saying that her character experiences exactly the same every episode. At the end of the day I think Joey missed a lot of the points from the series mostly because of his lack of experience in regards to certain mental health topics. He's not forced to have empathy to these situations, especially because it's a fictional story and a fictional character, but the way he expresses in regards of people being socially "inept" or awkward can rub people in the wrong way and that's understandable.
