Why Is Bocchi The Rock So Damn Relatable?

oh she just like me she just like me for real Butchy the rock is too damn relatable but why what makes this pink head Gremlin so relatable well that's the thing she's a neat she's one of us well not a bus one of us one of us well okay it's more than that there are three things about this anime that make her character so relatable firstly her character archetype is that of a young person with social anxiety but even if you don't have those traits you still probably touch grass sometimes and Bocce touches grass sometimes too secondly the way the anime portrays how Bochy deals with her social struggles as a shut-in and lastly how the show reflects those issues in a way we feel connected to so these are the things that make it relatable for us alright quick summary for you guys if you don't know the show or need a jog in memory hitori goto AKA Bocce growing up was as introverted as you could get but because she couldn't and didn't know how to make friends in school she was real desperate she was often paired with the teacher for group activities or sitting with them during lunches but one faithful day she stumbled across an interview about introverts starting a popular rock band and thus began her journey to become popular with the kids through learning guitar three years later and she graduated middle school with no friends at the end [Music] oh no no no I mean wait she's in high school now and this time she decides she wants to form a band before it's too late through magical anime coincidences she finds herself playing for a band before all hope is lost and thus actually begins her very relatable Life as a shut-in with her friends so then when we watch Bocce we find ourselves drawn to her because we can relate to being a little bit lonely at least a few times at least a few too many times but she is the personification of social anxiety that we weaves can all relate to you ever just hate interactions and just want to chill at home play games watch anime and have alone time to yourself well Bocce somehow embodies that so well in a hilarious Way by using these wack ass animation techniques like look at this what what the is this so she's trying to escape the matrix with this combined with the unique art styles and media forms convey social awkwardness so well these different art styles and animations do remind me of Epic quite a lot and maybe that's why this show blew up oh my God blending these different media forms into mood swings what she has and playing them off to an extreme amplifies how much anxiety there is in that character like take a look at this scene where Bocce is freaking out about taking pictures with her new friends so much that she starts glitching out and sounding like a teacher obviously we don't glitch out in real life when embarrassed but God damn it it feels that way doesn't it your brain.exe is not functioning am I right so yeah the hilarious parts about this anime are the interactions and experiences but she goes through when preparing for her final rocks performance oh my God we are Bocce and Bocce is us and because of that we feel a strong connection and resonate with what she deals with in real life somewhere deep down inside of us we see ourselves in bocce and are cheering her on to must up the courage to perform with her band and dish out the best performance to get there and achieve her goals her friends encourage her and are extremely supportive despite her social awkwardness and anxiety somewhere deep down inside her heart she longs to become a rock star seeing her struggle and push through the pain and suffering crawling out of her shell and fighting past all the trauma of neglect and loneliness growing up this is what inspires me and would probably inspire you the viewer as well we all feel like we owe it to ourselves to improve and take steps forward toward our dreams and goals in life even if we are down in the dark steps of hell where we feel like nothing we try Works seeing ourselves in bocce kinda gives us some hope that one day we can be like her taking the Tiny Steps to achieve her dream of performing in a rock band or just making friends and this might sound a little sappy but whatever you might be going through Bocce The Rock gives realistic insight into many of the struggles young people have in modern times but shines a dimly lit the light of hope that things will will get better but even if you don't resonate with Bocce and her traits it is incredibly fun and Goofy and lets everyone take a peek at how a person may grow out of the rut they find themselves in and you know maybe one day be okay in their shoes thank you for watching [Music] foreign
