Hey, thanks for watching!
Inbetween the weird rock metaphors and the music tie-ins, there's a video about Bocchi the Rock somewhere in there. This show became one of my all time favorites, and beneath the absolutely ludicrous production values and godly comedy, there's a really genuine and inspiring story lying there. Wanted to show my appreciation for it so here it is. AOTY, by the way. Chainsaw who?

People with under 600 subscribers somehow making the most well written and most enjoyable videos on the platform for no reason at all:

Thanks for making the video, this is exactly what I thought as a kid. I was scared of being forgotten and that no one would remember me when I died, but I learned to accept it and live my life to the fullest.
To people out there: It's never too late to have a hobby or do anything you like!

Bocchi is a very relatable character to me personally, being introverted & struggling with social anxiety & shyness/awkward, yet she actually has some deep thoughts on her own.

[skymyu]

Yo wtf, that Kita part was some english major stuff lmao

But fr, that connection is actually mind blowing

[mangata.]

dude this video is incredible. ive owned my electric guitar for a few years now and ive made barely any progress. school is part of that ofc, but also just mental health. bocchi the rock gave my rock a push. this video gave my rock a push. keep doing what you're doing man, this video is so great.

[Jarod]

Man didn't expect bocchi the rock will be this deeper than i thought, that's why i love this anime so much like god damn...

[hikariwolf]

10:24 easily the hardest name drop i've ever heard in my whole life

[fxenchy]

I don't think there's ever been an anime that has influenced and left such a mark on so many people as Bocchi The Rock has. It's insanely remarkable how many people felt such a strong connection with Bocchi that they would go as far as to create a YouTube channel just so they can express how much they feel. There's now countless reviews and analyses by small, couple hundred subscribers channels of people who felt something incredible from this show and that truly shows how beautiful this anime was.

Exceptionally well made video, thank you for making this!

[muzicfreek]

this video is great but the soundtrack he ads in the backround is what really makes it shine for me, keep up the good work!

[BDLTakashi]

(Admittedly shipping aside) but the way you explained the relationship and connection between bocchi and kita is so so good. Since I can't put my own ideas to words, this is really the closest to what I thought so I'm very happy someone thought of the same thing LOL. Good video!

[janpiet]

Bro your scripts are already beautiful enough, don't go bringing shigatsu OSTs in to this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭








On a serious note, it's crazy how you can put all these things I love about certain shows into words better than I could myself and these methaphors are out of this world. These videos are part of the reason why the rock that represents my love and passion for this medium keeps rolling. Please don't stop making them ❤

Bocchi the rock is legitimately one of the most grounded anime to have come out in recent years. The show heavily, and I mean HEAVILY resonated with me despite seemingly simple, and in Ryo's words "It may not hit other people, but to those it'll hit, it'll hit deeply".

That said, this is an amazing video, you perfectly put into words what partially makes Bocchi the rock special, you deserve to have more subs. Keep it up :)

[Riggs]

I put my guitar down 6 years ago and never picked it up again, until I finished this show. Bocchi is the rock that gave me the much needed push to reignite my passion and I've been doing my best to keep rolling since. Her cover of AKG's "Rock'n'Roll, Morning Light Falls On You" is my favorite song from the show and I still listen to it daily and play along. This show really is something magical.

Also, using Satie's Gymnopédies for BGM is incredibly good taste, so bonus points for you

[One-mon]

Bro i thought this was gonna have hundreds of thousands of views but it only has 10k views THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE POPULAR you really spent a lot of effort and time into this video this was genuanly enjoyable so yeah thank you this video was great.

[ghosttimm]

I know ALOT of people say this without actually having severe social anxiety like Bocchi but damnit, I related so hard with Bocchi. Although, my general and social anxiety is so damn bad that I can't even be around my own family without it feeling like someone is standing on my chest with my heart about to burst. I want to spend more time with my family but.. I just can't 99% of the time and I feel SO damn terrible about it 😔 Having anxiety this bad is truly awful. Medicine like benzo's, etc. definetly help with panic attacks but still, they can only do so much. I haven't seen or spoke to my friends in almost 10 years until very recently. Just like Bocchi though, I started guitar (and other instruments) at a young age and its been my passion since. And it helps, more than you might think. Great video 🤘

[shaelaputaindrole]

Dude that take on Kita's character was so good 😭 I already figured the mutual admiration they had for each other but the way you tied it all to Ryo's remark on uniqueness was mind blowing !

Overall I think I'm basically in my BTR hyper-fixation phase and I gotta say I'm so glad I found your vid. There's a whole lot of video essays about it out there but so many of it is just repeating the same points about bocchi being relatable and the anime being an outstanding work in terms of adaptation... Which, yeah, both are definetely true, but its so great to finally find a vid that actually takes the time to explore BTR beyond these points and digs a bit deeper into the characters themselves.

[markvicferrer]

I'm guessing she's also the rock that helps stabilize & build up the others in the band.

[ominoussage]

I've watched other BtR videos discussing and praising BtR and I haven't commented on any of them, until now.
This was a really in-depth analysis of the show that I just had to leave a comment and perhaps, roll your rock a bit :)
I really liked your take and perspective of this show. I realized why Kita got admired by Bocchi now; it's because she's like Bocchi but different. I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for your video.

Also, I love you for repeating the introduction to the very last part of the video. It brought a whole different meaning to it after all the explanation you've done throughout the enitre video. It was a nice touch. :)

You might not realized it but you probably rolled my rock too. Looking forward for your success!
