So good,

I enjoyed it, I watched it 4 times.

I also hope also that there will be an dual audio version. This story can get better than K-ON.

I'm looking forward to episode 2

It's indeed quite good. To me together with slow-start and comic girls it forms a complete triangle of shows: That is to say, each of these kirara shows focus on different aspects of loneliness. Slow-start focuses more on the anxiousness aspects: while Hana is quite capable of interacting friends, she second-guesses herself and allows anxieties to get the best of her (even at the end of the series, she knows logically that her friends wouldn't care if she told them her secret, but she can't bring herself to). Comic girls to me focused on self-confidence: Kaos is capable of becoming talented but she doesn't believe that herself (and of course is quite shy, but that's a common trait all share, Kaos might not even believe that someone like her is worthy of having mangaka friends).

Bocchi the rock feels closer to watamote in focusing on social anxiety at its core. Bocchi is clearly talented and knows that herself, but she somehow slipped through the cracks in middle school and that fated her on the path to hikkidom. The art detail in the show such as playing with perspective to show distance, details such as avoiding eye contact, etc. are cherries on the cake in really highlighting this. Or put another way, whereas with Slow Start the "limiting factor" is Hana's anxieties, and with Comic Girls the limiting factor is her self-confidence (if that was solved, the rest would fall into place naturally), for Bocchi the limiting factor is her social anxiety.

It's interesting to think about whether Bocchi might have turned out more like Hana or Kaos if early on their life something had been different. They clearly all share the same root psychological tendencies/characteristics (though calling it "autism" like /a/ does is just too overloaded a word), and as a result of their experiences ended up developing different strategies.

A more sobering thought is to imagine the scenario where Bocchi never ended up meeting yellow-hair girl and never joined the band. As she is in the show, Bocchi is on the verge of beginning to aceept her social isolation as inevitable, and on the verge of giving up on attempts to reach out altogether. A few more years of hikkidom and the results can be left unstated.

Oh and I also mixed the b-global subs with CR subs and edited them to my likings. Feel free to use or share as you wish.
