Not only did it get musicians right, it got social anxiety right in a way most media fails to do, It's pretty telling how a lot of people think it's extremely exaggerated. It's not. How it's depicted is often pretty close to what it actually feels like. That scene where Bocchi paces in front of the entrance to the club for 10 minutes trying to work up the courage to go in for example really hit home.

But she only listened to bands not playing any kind of instruments , so to draw Bocchi the Rock, she even learned how to play bass and drums and of course sought advice from some friends being in bands.

yeah i learned that the hard way when i started playing jazz in the conservatory. from playing alone in my bedroom ( everything with my ear too ) to suddenly having to read chord chart and sight read sheet music all while keeping in mind that you can't keep your head buried in the sheet as you have to do interplaying ( response, quote, phrase exchange during solo etc ) and basicaly really play "with" the other musician. i mean i can just go into robot mode and do some walking bass line but without interplaying, you are no better than a backing track.

I highly recommend BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. Its a really good coming of age story focused on a young guitarist finding his love of music and being in a band. A thematic predecessor to BOCCHI in how accurate it feels to actually make music. It also has one of the best dubs I've ever heard. Completely dubbing and altering the lyrics of the songs in the anime, so that they actually sound good to English speaking ears.

I turned down some amazingly technical singers in favor of the goofballs who just owned their Elvis impression or whatever. (That's a real story. Great guy, left us for musical theater but usually reserved us tickets.)

As a introverted person with social anxiety and general anxiety disorder this show nails how it feels to have it

This is one of only two instances in my life where a character has mirrored my experiences so well. Bocchi the rock is not the work of genius but of something that's far more difficult to express and that is raw honesty. The author must have some of these experiences themselves and they had the courage to share them with the world.

Bocchi also hits the nail on the head with its other primary subject matter: social anxiety. I feel like it hits this perfect sweet spot of having parts that are realistic enough for a lot of us to relate to and others that are exaggerated for comedic effect, and it works so well

Apart from Yui learning guitar in like 3 weeks, I also think K-ON gets it right. Both two different scenarios, but we also see Yui express herself through learning an instrument. Also, Hibike Euphonium. Yes that's a concert band scenario, but it just about nails it. The story & the quality of the animation (including playing the instruments) is so finessed. Then there's just Beck, which is a whole other level. I think Bocchi the Rock is extremely accurate but it's also a very specific scenario, as is Hibike and K-ON.

first guitar being a gibson les paul cannot be real. I think bochii portrayed what starting guitar is like. I first started on my dads guitar too. Yuis first performance is just not one of a one month player. And she basically doesn't have any improvement through her highschool years. K-on is more slice of life than bochii but that doesn't mean its worse.

I literally watched 15 seconds of a Crunchy Roll clip of the show on YT on Saturday November 12th, stopped the video, immediately went and watched the first episode. With that said, I'm waiting for the episode 7 to air now... The show is hilarious, I love all the visual humor that goes on display throughout each episode. I'm not even into "band life", but I could already tell how true to life the aspects were, I really appreciated the touch of it built into the story. So far I give it a solid 9/10.

You perfectly captured the essence of Bocchi the Rock, and that's epic. Good humor, well paced script, and nice review. I enjoyed listening in.

I think this show might hold the title for most instant replays of certain scenes/whole episodes for me. And then go back to some episode, replay Bocchi's in the zone moment of the episode, then watch it whole again, then go to another... It's chaotic and it makes me happy. I absolutely *love* this show. More people need to watch it.

As a band nerd I definitely need to watch this anime, but it's a bit extreme to call it the only anime to get music right. My personal favorite, sound euphonium, really nails the emotional aspect of being in a concert band, as well as how each musician is on their own journey with their own complicated motivations while still being part of a collective whole. If you haven't seen it, it's by kyoani and it's a certain must watch for anyone that likes music in my opinion. It is a bit slow, and I'd understand if someone wouldn't find it their thing, but it's certainly a worthwhile journey.

Ey. I just commented this. Totally agree. It’s just captures that feeling perfectly.

No anime gets musicians right? You have Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad (for rock), Hibike! Euphonium (for concert band) and Kids on the Slope (for jazz) right there! I'd also argue, while not on the whole, Carole & Tuesday gets a lot right too. It's just a different side of it all.

I found this anime just before the 4th episode aired and started writing a thorough episode by episode review on my blog, as I am also a newbie guitarist with my own rookie anime cover band. I've rated all the other music animes I've seen, and a lot of them lost points for having a beginner guitarist become pro in like 3 months, or them failing during rehearsals but somehow nailing a solo on stage and such like....that doesn't happen. So far, I do really appreciate that they gave Bocchi decent time to learn guitar, and a lot of things I've seen in the show are things I've experienced or what seem normal among musicians. I have high hopes for this anime and I'm excited to see where it goes ^_^

As a drummer, I can confirm, the mere mention of my ability to hit things with sticks, to someone in a band almost always leads to a request if I would be willing to fill in some time.

"somebody else in a different band who wants to talk to you about all of your gear" holy shit dude shots called banked and sunk

The anime that made me think of musicians was BECK. It has pretty good originals too

I've found myself STRONGLY relating to this anime in regards to both Bocchi's anxiety and the music aspects. Since I'd heard Joe Pass' record "Meditation" when I was 13, I've been OBSESSED with becoming a Jazz guitarist. I'm 18 now, and I'd call myself decent, but when I tried to join a band for the first time recently my nerves hung up on me so badly I left the audition after strumming a single chord. My new goal is to join a Jazz band by next year, and this anime is really inspiring me to practice and to seek real experience.

Sorry if this is stuff you already know but... if you can, find a big band, I'm a bit biased having played in big bands since I was in 9th grade but it's a great way to learn some history and get the language figured out before branching out into combos. Working with a director also makes a huge difference. Even if you aren't going to uni for music, schools with jazz programs likely will let people from outside the program audition for extra curricular big bands, also look for community out reach bands, it's usually pay to play model but likely worth while.

If you're looking for safe spaces to play, but still getting a good experience, community college jazz combos/bands are a really great resource to check out. Even playing for ensembles such as jazz choirs can be valuable experience and networking (some of my gig work involved working for singers and it's generally quite low stress and pays okay). You've got plenty of time ahead of you to work out your chops and confidence so don't be too down on yourself.

he says: "this is the first ever anime to get musicians right!" he means: "social anxiety"

Great video! Good that Bocchi is getting some love!

there is another band anime called K-on!, its already started since 2009. my first inspiration to play guitar (and got myself Les Paul as beginner lol). but what you say "Get musician right", i must agree Bocchi The Rock more to musician realistic. while K-on! have not too much struggle only "cute girl do cute thing". well, i would love to see you review K-on! too. keep uploading!! 👍👍

"This is the only anime that gets musicians right" Sound Euphonium - Am I a Joke to You?!

I am so happy a video has been made on the is anime! I watched all the other anime you also mention as competition and I’d say that it’s standing well alongside them without competition per say. Thank you

What is good about Bocchi the Rock First time introduced by this moe and Band genre, all I can think of is K-ON stuff But after watch first Episode.... that's a whole different things that make you clearly things K-ON isn't focus of Living as a Band (because K-ON doing band things as Extracurricular) while Bocchi is serious in the band live part, also interesting how introvert getting through of her dream as guitarist, then the experiment's of many animation stuff going in and out each episode truly something different you'd get but still enjoyable.

I mean Hibike! Euphonium is another great anime, generally the fingerings, and slide positions are correct as I'm a baritone, trombone, clarinet, alto, and bari saxophone, and trumpet player. It has show bands, aka the one part where they act as a marchinig band, and have concert band competitions for Japan down very well. Their concert band competitions are very competitive, and their marching bands are also very competitive. However you are right, this anime does get the smaller ensemble bands down to a T.

Actually hitori reminds me with most of metal singers. They have lot commons like introverted personality. Like James heitfeld from Metallica, in his one interview he said he's really not into social life and he express he's feeling through music. And some research also stated that metal fans intended to be introverted people

"Musicians" means more than "struggling rock band trying to make it." Good shows that get plenty of aspects of "musicians" right: Kids On The Slope, Carole and Tuesday, Ya Boy Kongming, Beck, Nodame Cantabile, and many more.

honestly I thought of bocchi as the k-on at home kind of anime but now hearing that it tackles social anxiety and the musicians themselves makes it resonate a ton with me and my personal journey these past couple of years

Thanks for sharing this! I normally only look for dubs on Crunchyroll but recently watched Beck (Mongolian Chop Squad) and really liked seeing the progression of experience. Really excited to watch Bocchi the Rock! Also, following. 👍

This show came into my life at the right time. I'm just now getting back into music after 6 years and pursuing it through the local community college. This show has really increased my overall excitement for what the future has to hold. And my dreams of actually traveling abroad one day are re ignited as college was really the only barrier for getting a visa for an extended stay in many of the countries I'm interested in. I hope everyone is getting along well in their lives!

coming back to thank you for getting me into now one of my favorite animes

This is easily the best SOL anime of this season if not the year. I love every single thing about it and the music is fire!! Too bad it came out in the heaviest season where there are so many big names just as you mentioned, but this still turned into my top 5 shows of this season despite that. And the fact that it comes out late at night in my timezone is a big plus because I always cool down my brain by watching this show before going to bed (after SpyxFamily which is also a light-hearted show).

In Anitrendz Bocchi literally obliterated the list lol, even beating those big titles like CSM, SxF, Bleach, and Mob Psycho III. Even Bocchi herself is the #1 girl on this week's list and the other band members (minus Kita sadge) are also in the top 10

Mate, this is a very well-put-together video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you continue to make great videos like this and attract a huge audience. Keep it up!

Bocchi reminded me what it was like to be a highschooler who wants to be a musician. The excitement of your first show, seeing all these strange older people that seem super cool. Figuring out how to play music together. This show nails it. I can tell the author loves music

I dont know why I found this vide, it has appeared randomly, I wasn't interested in anime before and probably won't be after, but I just clicked and its probably turned my life into other road xd I gained big motivation to practise guitar more and finaly bought that soundcard for my feature bedroom covers Thanks for sharing

Bocchi is shaping to be an amazing music anime, and I'm glad others mentionned Beck which is a level on its own

As someone who managed a live house surprisingly they got The noruma (quota) system in live house and how the live house is on other business permit just to avoid high cost of actual entertainment permit right. Tbh we rarely do audition since most band that wanna have a gig already did have quite a following on SNS. They even got the crummy feel of the basement live house right lol.

Awesome video, love animes like this. Even the camping anime was accurate and gave good camping advice. Played music in my area for 10 years, starting to get back into it.

thanks for this!! enjoyed

Nodame cantabille? Shigatsu wa Kimi no uso? Nana? Sakamichi no apolon? Beck? Hibike Euphonium? And the first idolmaster (talking about singers) I think they all got it right, they showcase different aspects

As someone who is more of a jazz musician I can recommend Kids on the Slope as another anime that does really well at portraying musicians and what its like to go from being on your own to playing with a band. A great show if you haven't watched it yet.

You sold this anime for me, excited to watch it as a musician myself!

THANK YOU for covering this anime! I didn't know about it and as a professional musician, I'd love to see more anime about bands and the music scene. I got 2 episodes into Your Lie in April and couldn't go any further because OOF, it was too real to my classical upbringing and why I left. haha Can't wait to watch this! :D

BTR is amazing tbh and probably one of my favorite music animes of all time. I know that Given is very drama and romance focused, but i feel that it also deserves a special mention somewhere. It's the only music anime that has perfectly nailed emotional expression through music and episode 9 is honestly a work of art. It also perfectly represents the different dangers and complexities that come with non-platonic relationships in bands and honestly handles it really well. It's definitely a heavier watch than BTR but it also has a lot of feel-good and slice of life moments that are to die for.

I can’t wait for season 2! I originally got into and picked up the guitar back in 2009 because of K-On! But until recently I sort of stopped playing or lost interest in the guitar a lot but thanks to Bocchi the Rock, I’ve got energy and motivation to keep playing!

Will you cut your string and play with that jar 😏😏

Brilliantly done video, great job man👏🏻🙌🏻😌

Thank you so much for this masterpiece of an essay video, it easily convinced me to pick up this show when it was on episode 8 while I haven't heard much of it beforehand. I'm very glad I was recommended this video that clearly shows what this series delivers! A similar thing happened when I saw the LN praising Mushoku Tensei when the anime was still in production but unpopular, and both of these series turned out to be among my top anime of all time! Episode 8 and 12 are the best especially when it comes to the growth of Bocchi!

Man that's a bold statement. The "only" anime? Have you seen Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, Sakamichi no Apollon, Nana, Nodame Cantabile, Carole and Tuesday? Have you seen every music anime? Are you a musician yourself?

This anime caught my eye through the social anxiety aspect of the story and honestly it's a similar story of its portrayal. It's surprisingly accurate and realistic, while also sparing the viewer the deeper details in order to make the story more interesting and easier to watch. As an outsider to the world of musicians, I hadn't picked up on its accuracy, but it's cool to know that its covered all its bases, because I'm really liking Bocchi so far.

This anime quite literally inspired me to pick up the guitar after 3+ years and actually trying to learn which is going smoother than before i quit

I absolutely adore the main cast. Nijika and Kita are very endearing, of course, but I can relate to Bocchi so much and Ryo is literally me.

That was a great recommendation, thank you! I'll definitely check it out. Sidenote: That's a Steinberg UR22 (Mk1) interface, not a Scarlet. Same price though, so your point still stands.

I love this show. Main character is relatable for me in some parts, I'm not that sociophobic guy, just hard to communicate with. And when I thought that's where my connectionsvwith her ended, my parents gave me an electric guitar of their friends. Now I'm trying to get better at it, my fingers are still soft

Why is she literally me, a self conscious person he became a musician to become more social, who calculates and thinks about what could go wrong with every situation

A good video and a good recommendation. I was glad to see both

I actually think that Given gets some good/realistic points too. Though it is mostly seen as a bl/Yaoi, music is a core part of it. There’s things like how easily a band can break up due to relationship problems. There is also some pretty deep stuff in that anime, made me cry for almost an hour after watching(and I have never cried to a movie or show before hand)! Either way you should check it out if you haven’t, it’s about moving on from a dark time, music, and GAY! PS: the music in the anime is AMAZING!!!

I've been scrolling like 5 minutes ,hoping to see a mention of Given. Though it is more of a drama/ romance focused show, it handles the musical part of it pretty well. What I love most is the almost perfect animations of both gear and intruments, and the soundtrack is just amazing! Centimillimental really did do a great job with each track.

I’m really glad I decided to watch bocchi, it’s great.

This show really scratched an itch I didn't know I even had. It inspired me to actually start practicing my bass again.

The part where she had a her own studio really resonated with basically 70% of all guitarists. Everyone had a Scarlett solo when they started.

Presonus 1818vsl here...needed it for drums.

The interface looks more like a Steinberg UR22 to me although the position of the knobs isn’t quite right.

It’s really nice reading the manga too, because they’ll have a big panel that mimics an album cover. Kinda reminds me of how jojo poses are just mimicking fashion magazines.

"to be seen when they think they don't have a chance to be" Oof that hit

I'm glad I found this in my algorithm ❤️ I was looking for some anime like K-on and Beck Mongolian Chop Squad

You deserve at least 50k subs, I can’t believe you’re having only 200 subs. Amazing review, good editing and everything is compact but yet feels completed. Good luck with you channel!

It took me 35mins to re-find your video. I am autistic, I grew up with musicians, performed publicly for mediocre funds, had fun along the way. Every single character in "Bocchi the Rock" reminds me of many friends I have made, and lost along the way. I love this anime, and its great to see someone else see for what it is, and put into words i wanted to say to explain it. I'm going to use this video to show my friends how great this anime is, thank you for making some of my thoughts and feelings into light

@@GervasiusMC wanting to not be anxious isn't the same as not being anxious. There are lots of anime nowadays that are having these kinds of characters and trying to give these messages. You didn't see this decades ago. The rest should be obvious, people were more healthy and normal back then. People being anxious wasn't so large and sweeping of an issue that it had to be addressed in multiple anime. Now it is. The same is true in western media. Art of a society reflects said society at the time. Older media showed more confident people in a more confident age. Now, West and East, people are anxious and not very confident. Have lots of mental health issues and no longer know how to interact with people. Meme culture shows this, movies show this and yes, anime like this show it to. Who would this anime be for if it wasn't an issue? Thus it is an issue for the anime to serve any purpose.
