Daniel Griffiths

what a performence i fucking love bocchi!!

_TKD_

For sure a comfort anime, that's why I've rewatched it so many times ^^

nanda kore

ah yes AOT the best comfort anime

Renaud Nadeau

The younger sister did warn you that she is tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun-dere.

Adam

Bocchi's dad doesn't have a face because he's the only major male character. A lot of these types of anime (cute girls doing cute things) have no male characters, and her dad not having a face is kind of an extension of that.

Uwe

The thing about the dads face. There are Anime where you ether dont see any males or where the eyes or face are hidden. The only guys we saw till now are the band in i think episode 2 and the dad

dpolaristar

It'd be condescending and unfair to both the other bands and the customers of the club to have subpar music put on because the shitty band was related to the owner Luke. And it would end up with the bar slowly going out of business. I think it'd be shitty to let her go on when she isn't ready.

Kenny Vu

Bocchi the legend!

Ara Araragi

Director: "OK, so Bocchi throws up in this scene, but we obviously have to censor that. Any ideas?" Animator 1: "Just pixelate it. It's cheap and easy." Animator 2: "No, that's still too graphic. I vote for rainbows and sparkles. It's a classic, and it fits the cute-girls-doing-cute-things vibe." Animator 3: "Stock footage of various prefectural dam spillways." Everyone else: "Umm, what?" Animator 3: "Stock. Footage. Of. Various. Prefectural. Dam. Spillways."

The Reason that I believe Bocchi's Dad's Face is unable to be seen is to show that he has little presense and kinda has an emo/introverted side. Hes almost like side/background characters who have no face. Most of bocchi's personality and some of her looks was inherited by her dad.

dpolaristar

No its not finished. And to reiterate its NOT by the same person that did Freiren, both anime adaptations had the same director but the source material for each is from a different author.

DeusSilvam

It's also a sort of gag that comedy anime often use. Faceless characters are usually "mob" or unimportant characters, so comedy anime use the trope to do a joke about how "unimportant" someone like a main characters parent or a sibling is.

Hwiyeop Kim

I believe that the manga is far ahead to the point that they can start making season 2, but these guys are never announcing season 2...sad

DeusSilvam

In fact, in the last episode, in Shimo-Kitazawa there were male background characters with faces drawn in. So rather than the decision to leave out all male faces, I think they are just doing the comedy anime trope of putting down poor ol' dad by making him seem even less important than some randos on the street.

tyler Pantaleo

I feel called out, since im watching your reaction while eating cereal lol. This show filled the gap for me after watching K-ON. Which you should watch as this shows predecessor.

nanda kore

26:00 Because of the tradition of manga magazine KIRARA. In the past, the magazine was famous for only female characters allowed. Now a days you can have male characters on magazine. But manga artist is just trolling with that. Just for the meme. Poor dad

Silver

0:35 I also get the same feeling from Re;Zero. It's like being covered in fluffy white rabbits 😊 I've been loving this anime, I'm so excited to watch the rest of it

Jc

just to point out that the production of the first season had started back in 2019 and didn't even air till 2022

sadaholic

the audition scene always makes me sob every time i watch it. knowing bocchi wrote such beautiful lyrics just pouring her heart out and she’s also pouring her heart out with playing the guitar during the song. i just adore the effort & strength it’d take someone like her to get to that point i think it’s so sweet

Hwiyeop Kim

I do hope that you react to more bocchi songs after finishing the anime bcuz there are a lot of good songs from this anime (maybe patreon exclusive if you are worried about copyrights?)

Ulrik Bøe

Yeah, the singer is Kita's VA. You saw her on the First Take. For the show and the record they had one guy make the arrangements, play the lead guitar parts and recruit other studio musicians to make up the band, but after that they seem to go with whatever musicians for hire they want for that performance, live concert or video appearance. Ikumi Hasegawa always sings though.

Tsusaku Cohenat

Usually, when you see the almost like RL movement in animations, it actually is a real live movement. It made by rotoscoping technique. And on your question if they know about her being the Guitair Hero, no they dont, but there is one person, outside of the band, who has a suspicion.

Brett Sharp

The Reason why the animation sometimes looks so "real" is because all the instrument playing and several other scenes were motion captured using motion capture suits and translated to 3D models. They then rotoscoped(drew over) over the models to get the realistic movements for those scenes. The manga is still on-going currently at chapter 77 the anime covers the first 21 chapters minus chapter 16. It releases monthly so only gets about 12 chapters a year not counting spin-off chapters, which there are 2 spin-off manga which update sporadically.

Petey Bickmore

I said before that reacting to that song before hand wasn’t too bad because there is a lot of dialogue over the song. BUT NO MORE LUKE. The rest of the performances in later episodes need to be experienced fresh. Also, the reason why some parts look super realistic is because they likely used a lot of a technique called rotoscoping where you take a real life video of a person moving, and essentially animate over the top of it to create more realistic movements. It’s a lot more time consuming and detailed so it’s not commonly used.

Ron Farmer

Favourite Bocchi episode! 😂😂😂😂

zaseum tikoro2

btw why are you not reacting to the endings? they're great too and sung by the voice actresses

Julián Max

Please you should see all the endings of "Bocchi the rock" for a video since you are not seeing them by pausing the chapters before watching them

Daniel Burberry

To answer the question on if the bands real, they created the band when the anime aired, you can check them out on Spotify! They just released two new songs for the movie that just released

Fay X84

13:29 Luke: "What the hell's that?!" Well, it is just a japanese pun. Pot is called 鍋(Nabe). Pig is called 豚(Buta). Pot lid is called 鍋蓋(Nabebuta). That's why the lid/cover was shaped as a pig face 💦

jdoggivjc

None of the other members of Kessoku Band know that Hitori is guitarhero. The only one who may know is Nijika's sister, but even then I'm not sure if she knows for certain or just strongly suspects.

Marvin Gulizia

Luke in intro: Bocchi is something I would watch in the morning with a Bowl of cereal. Me: Eating a Bowl of cereal in the morning while watching Luke watch Bocchi

The Pots

please don't skip the ED song. the next two eps will play the current ED song for the last time so I hope you react to the ED songs

AppleOfMyEye

Hi Luke! To answer your question about Bochi's dad face. This orginal work is a manga from a manga magazine call まんがタイムきらら (manga time kirara) which is a magazine with the concept of focusing on girls story the the word kirara means glitter, sparkle, shine. Most of the works on this kirara magazine all focus as much as they can on the girls and all the male character with have a really basic design. Hope this helps you sorry for my bad English.

Sumic

really? the guys in the band in ep 2 all have designs and even the band in ep 1 all have designs. that can't be the reason, right?

2024-06-16 20:08:18 Nijika's sister is actually worse than Bocchi at humanning 🤣

Nijika's sister is actually worse at humanning than Bocchi 🤣

KaijinGarou

They don't know about guitarhero. 75% of Bocchi's lines are only in her head 🤣

Martin Vaclavik

CRAZY DETAIL about their performance - you can hear little mistakes in this ep's song compared to the final edit in the album! (since they're not in sync completely yet) Also the mixing is done so you can hear more bass on the left and main guitar more on the right, etc, respecting where the characters are standing on the stage! I fkn love this show ♥

Sebastian Stróż

if you are a fan of this crazy and random animations then monogatari should be even higher on your "want to watch" list. just sayin...

benecrim

If this is how you react to bocci the rock then I can't wait to see your k-on! Reactions 😂

Dark Sunrise

Oh, so if they keep adapting the anime at about 24 chapters a season, they currently have enough for two more seasons, and the manga comes out fast enough to produce a season every two years? Any idea on how close to finished the manga seems to be?

Marcio Neves

¥10,000 would be around £50, in today's rate exchange

Marcio Neves

OH, next episode SHE will appear. NICE!

Hhound42

The VA for Kita is really performing the songs.

Brett Sharp

I mean it doesn't seem to be close to being finished. It depends on where the author wants to stop as currently Bocchi and Kita are starting their Third year of high school and Nijika is going to start college.

Smonolith

get ready to meet the GOAT

Squ4reCac7us

"Watch My First Time Ever Reaction To This Coffee." On a mug, as my idea. lol

Flutter0Shy

I bet you are going to love this detail, LISTEN CLOSELY when they play early in this episodes or first performances in the show and you will hear that it's not perfect! Or tweaked from the "full versions" made for the album. So the realism of hearing what they are "doing wrong" and such is SO delightful because it's more real and understandable than just to play out the song, even if it's not wrong, it's just an extra that feels like the crisp from a beacon

Zerotoo

Kita's VA is Hasegawa Ikumi which is the voice of Lena from 86. And yes she sings the songs

AppleOfMyEye

for the original works it depands on the authur as for the anime is on the director. the band numbers is reference to irl indies band in shimokita and they only appeared for a moment but for the father he offen appered so having and proper image or face might affect it. These might be really weird for western viewers but is really nothing special for us growing up with kirara magazine in Japan. Its hard to tell for the anime because they tend to add many original stuff into it, you can check out the original manga its really simply artsyle and is a 4panel manga.
