Watch episode 5 here! got.cr/cc-btr5

Everyone talking about Bocchi, but can we also acknowledge the fact that Kita is slaying it, considering she only learned recently how to play guitar and she is singing and playing at the same time.

The lyrics Bocchi wrote "It's not enough, not enough, No one knows I'm here" at the same same time Ryo and Nijika turn around to look at her! And Kita who keeps singing and doesn't react because she's already had extensive practice with Bocchi and already knows how good she is, I'm crying man, it's too good

I cried in this moment, It is very touching to see Bocchi forget her anxiety and put on a great show for her friends!

I like the little detail of Kita strumming her guitar looks a little stiff. It's what a lot of new players look like when strumming. In contrast, you can tell from the way bocchi is handling here guitar, it looks much more fluid and natural.

I’m actually really impressed with the CGI in this. It’s much better than most other shows I’ve seen. And they did a pretty good job hiding it.

0:52 this part is just so good man...

The thing with powerful social anxiety that some people don't understand is that it's possible to break through it given the right risk and motivation. What even fewer understand is that once it happens you aren't miraculously cured. One of the things i really like about this show is how they portray her after these moments, proud of herself and happy but not immune to the whiplash, often crashing soon after once the adrenaline fades.

A little embarrassed to admit this, but this anime inspired me to get back into playing bass again.

I love how the audio is panned so that it feels like your watching from the audience. Bocchi guitar is playing in the right ear, Ryo is playing in the left ear, Nijika drums and Kita singing and guitar are both playing in the middle. Love this anime.

"It certainly is a downer. But it's very Bocchi. It might not connect with too many people, but those it does, it'll hit deeply" ~ Ryo Yamada about this song. And it's really accurate description

0:51 will be the most played moment.

I really like how she evolves for her friends and her dreams 🥺

I like how everyone was surprised when she stomped lol

All the practice paid off, everything tied together perfectly

I still love how they accurately animated their guitar and drums playing to the song.

That moment when Ryou turns to Nijika and gives the head nod that they need to kick it into high gear to keep up with Bochi is amazing.

Honestly, when she said that Bocchi's lyrics would resonate to those who'll get it, she wasn't wrong. It resonated in me big time.

This is so emotional~ Bocchi's VA totally nailed those lines!

You hear that? That deep voice? That is Hasegawa Ikumi. Some of you might know her as Handler One, Vladilena Milizé.

0:12 ryo signals kita to start singing. the details on this anime is insane

I love how all the songs are related to a specific member or the band itself and their struggles. Like this song reflects Bocchi's inner self and struggles she has with showing people her true self.

It can be energy-crushing to audition, especially as a musician who really elevates their performance based on crowd energy. Having internal energy, though, a 100% output to an empty room, can show the potential for a 100+% output to a crowd.

Coming back to this, for the "i lost count" time, gotta say, i love how well timed bocchi stomp scene is, like, to the lyrics of the song, it creates a nice contrast between her and the song, "its not enough, not enough, no one knows im here, i couldnt make a scribble of a sound" yet is the part where you know and feel her playing is much more stable and stronger, more self assured, gotta love the direction of this show, its just top notch

Love that in their first concert performance of this song, you can tell the slight mistakes and issues compared to this audition performance. I like that the show creators took the time to mess with the audio syncs instead of just playing it as is and saying that there are mistakes. Makes the show feel more authentic :)

I don’t know if there’s been a song from an anime that I’ve loved as much as this, the guitar tune is just so heavenly, it’s the first to be on my playlist ever from an anime

Im so glad this was the first BTR song I decided to learn how to play. Words can't express how beautiful the entire thing is. From the lyrics, to the context of its use in the show, to the subtle light notes that break into such a big chorus. To everyone noticing Bocchi breaking her anxiety (if even for just this moment) and actually being able to play in a band. It's so unabashedly rock n roll. How can you not like it

Over a year later and I still get goosebumps, this anime truly is something special

A lot of companies need to take notes. THIS is how you use 3D models in anime. Not a simple outline effect and cel shaders, not just drawing over it. Ya gotta draw over it AND apply 2d animation techniques and things used in regular 2d scenes (squash and stretch, motion lines, slightly warped and possibly exaggerated proportions)

Love the camera angle coming down the guitar, reminds me of some of Mick Gordon's music videos for the Doom OST.

BOCCHI THE STOMP! It's like that piece of floor was an accelerator pedal.

As a guitarist, this is hands down the best animation of people playing guitars/drums/bass I have ever seen. Also a truly great show

I’d like to point out that that guitar bocci has is worth roughly $50,000. A lot of guitar for a 16 year old to be carrying around.

That stomp ALWAYS gives me chills, it's just soooo emotional

Am I the only one whose suprised at how good Ikuyo's vocals are? I figured she'd be a good singer but I did not expect that sound to come out of her mouth

THIS ANIME IS AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩

"It's Bocchi time" was my favourite part

goosebumps all the scene, this hits so hard. As a guitarist you can feel the feelings of every member of this band.

Bocchi the GOAT

this scene is THE scene for me, it made me realise how amazing this show truly is, this is when everything truly clicked

You know the CGI is great when no one complained about it.

Kessoku Band 💕

This is my favorite moment from the show. It showed Bocchi’s resolve to grow into the person the band needs. The music is amazing and the animation was also amazing!

There’s so many subtle details that just tie everything together just beautifully. This moment was just perfect.

Bocchi the peak

BOCCHI THE GOAT

One of the few underrated anime this season, and im so glad I ran into this

The foot stomp heard around the world

I showed my gf this anime and she absolutely loves it! we both enjoyed episode 5 so much

Bocchi The Peak

This was the exact moment (her little stomp) when I think we all realized this show was something special

You can always depend on these things looking good in anime: Food Fanservice The final fight scene of an arc Band anime

Crunchy took 2 weeks to upload one of the best moments of BTR but takes less than an hour to post Chainsawman spoilers 💀bro i cant💀

this scene really be hitting me straight in the feels bruh istg. as someone who suffers a lot from anxiety and also plays guitar bocchi really is a relatable character and seeing everything come together for them & them performing this crazy good song is just beautiful bruh

That feeling of wanting to change, of being someone other than who you are because you think you aren't good enough and you're broken. Then the foot stomp because this ones for your friends.

I need a season 2 so bad

Amazing anime, this is. this anime is probably top 3 for anime I look forward to each week

so far i’m loving this show. i’m very excited to see what happens in the latter half. it just might be my favorite for this season.

Bocchi’s stomp gave me full body chills ❤️

00:52 that stomp is legendary

Ah yes, Bocchi Dwayne Johnson

damn Ikumi Hasegawa is absolutely killing it with this one

gem of the season

0:51 can you notice it? How a good guitar suited to the rhythm of a voice like Kita's can make the vocalist's voice stand out so beautifully and excitingly, and it's not that Bocchi's guitar is the only beautiful thing in this scene, it's the fact that it helps to boost Kita's voice and make it even more impactful and excitingly magical! It's a dizzying spiral of emotions!... what Bocchi is talented at her guitar, Kita is talented at her wonderful voice!

The animation is incredible, humor is on top and just an overall chill anime.

I'm gonna start this series. The fact that they're actually animating everyone playing the instruments is insane. When the drummer actually had their fill animated properly my jaw just dropped

You can see the very moment that Nijika's older sister feels Bocchi is about to explode with a rip for the ages.

WE GETTING OUT OF SOCIAL ANXIETY WITH THIS ONE 🗣 🔥 🔥

It's the whole scene man. The build up to the stomp and then the rocking out afterwards 😍 A declaration was declared that day

this was awesome to see ❤❤ love this anime so much

Everyone talking about the girls while I'm here admiring how they animated the instrument as close as possible

Welcome fellow Bocchi enjoyers

Details of Ryo and Nijika making eye contact after Bocchi picking up her play really sell this anime for me. It's like a combo of being surprised and also sorta agreeing to pick up their play as well

The drums and bass at 0:12 in this are super addicting, I never get sick of them.

Amazing! I hope more people watch this series. Plus, the animation... my man... perfection!

this part moves me so much everytime... im still crying

Let's Rock

I loved how they snuck in 3d rigs for the hard scenes, on first watch you really wouldn't notice them!!

**Bocchi steps forward** *wait why is this so hype???*

1:13 I love this shot

0:53 her performance, her lyrics, she is screaming what she feels, what she have to live with every day.

Look how far BTR has gotten from this video. It’s incredible

I love the little detail on how this showed that Ikuyo is still a beginner on the guitar while Bocchi's already playing it for years. Look how they strummed their guitars. Now look at episode 12 Kita on how she strummed her guitar.

I LOVE THE PART WHEN BOCCHI SAYS IT'S ROCKIN' TIME AND ROCKS ALL OVER THE PLACE

I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group!; And I hope we passed the audition! :P

I loved seeing bocchi overcome all her own milestones as a person, and loved even more the fact that her friends were so nice to her all the time. We need more people like this in the world for socially anxious people. I constantly cried and laughed every episode because I could just relate so hard to this anime.

I just noticed (upon my Xth rewatch) that at the end of the song, the only one of them who isn't flushed and sweating from the performance is Bocchi

I love this anime too much istg

1:03 idkw but i love it

i'm in love with this show... after crying out of laughter in the episodes leading up to this one, now i feel like i could cry from how touching this is. also its been therapeutic laughing at all the relatable bocchi rants

Just reading the lyrics while watching Bocchi play her guitar hits hard.

That's so good.

Best anime of season

lucky Bocchi, that guitar IRL is mega expensive, LP customs can go easily 4.5-6k euros depending (used to work in a guitar store) and it sounds fantastic too, which kinda comes with the price

THE STOOOOOOMP

perfect show

she try so hard and that's what make bocchi rocks ☺

Clean animation!!

Every comment i ever read that discusses the actual gear used in this anime just shows the absolute insanity of attention to detail in every single aspect. There's nothing but the highest praise you can give the studio for making this.

Just remembered bocchi and came to vibe to the music
