Who ever decided that the chosen one has to be chosen by someone else? You can choose yourself; choose to be the chosen one. If you think about it, everyone who ever tried to pull the sword out of the stone was making the decision to try to be the chosen one, and one of them turned out to be right, right? So why not you? If you decide to go out on stage, or whatever stage analog is relevant to you, why can't you be the one who turned out to be right?

2023-03-30 16:24:47 +0000 UTCEp 8 would have been a great finale for any anime other than Bocchi the Rock! The girls are more united than ever, have discovered they have a widening support network with Tencho-nee-san, PA-san (who is a bundle of awesomeness), Hiori-senpai, Fan-chan 1 and Fan-chan 2! Hitiori is blossoming into a real human as she slowly becomes the heart of Kessoku Band. It’s a wrap, right? Wait, this is ep8. And that’s the meaning I took from the episode. Celebrate your victories, and the girls, led by Hitori, did have a great victory in Ep8 by turning the ambivalent crowd, however slightly, in their favor. But life still goes on. Tomorrow will come. Dreams go on. The work, like Bilbo’s road, goes on. Damn, this show’s an iceberg in the best possible way.

The bad version of Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet was just off enough that even a rhythmless, tone death, musical dummy like me could hear the bad timing and vocals. And yeah, Nijika's admission of her dream and her wholesome, welcoming, acceptance of even Bocchi's "dumb" reason for investing in the band... It's so great!

2023-03-30 05:42:02 +0000 UTCAt the end of the video, I'm with you: I'm sure that this series changed a lot of people lives, mine included. I studied music since elementary school until highschool and used to play the guitar, I wanted to be a musician back in the day but life happened lmao. Even though my family was quite supportive by paying for my guitar lessons, buying my instruments and equipment, and accompanying me to concert but in the last years of high school I received a lot of pressure to pursue a "real career" if I don't want to "starve to death" when facing the "real world" (I heard a lot of those comments) so I decided to study Environmental Engineering, a similar career path to my Father that works in Enviromental science and raise me to love science and nature. As time went by, I had fewer and fewer opportunities to pick up the guitar and suddenly I realized that like 3 years passed without me even playing a single note. During my last year of college I decided to sell many of my instruments and equipment to buy some things I needed for my thesis, convincing myself that I didn't need any of them anymore since I didn't play for years, and keeping just an acoustic guitar which I stored in a dusty bag for a couple of years after that. I tried many times to get back to practicing a little but it was not the same anymore. It has been 6 years since I sold my instruments and 10 years since I stopped playing. In the last few years I was in the dark (as you mention in the video, many of us know it quite well), anxiety, trouble at work, missing personal relationships, no friends around me and it was anime as a medium with its multiple stories that kept me afloat. In the middle of last year things started to improve in general and it was during this period of self reconstruction that I bumped into Bocchi, the series revived my love for the guitar and I started playing my old and forgotten acoustic guitar again. This year I got a job a thousand times better in my area as an engineer and I earn enough to live comfortably, so two months ago I bought again an electric guitar and equipment realizing how much I missed music and how much good it does me, it seems that the moment I let go of my passion, a small part of me withered away but now it seems to have bloomed anew. in Short, Bocchi the Rock gave me back something I lost a long time ago.

2023-03-30 05:11:37 +0000 UTC"Kirikaete ikou" doesn't have a perfect translation, since its wording is awkward in English. But the closest would be "let's change gears and move on" since "kaete" does mean change. Also, the pointy chins thing is kind of a general anime thing because girls can also have pointy chins. It's really an aesthetic thing, but a certain BL satire anime cranked it to 100. https://myanimelist.net/anime/33392/Gakuen_Handsome
