Introduction
The anime...
The series, Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (translated as "Bocchi Hitori's ____ Life" or "The ____ Life of Being Alone") started as a Japanese four-panel manga series written and illustrated by Katsuwo. As for the anime TV series adaptation, it is animated by C2C and aired in Japan from April to June 2019. OK...There's not much I could say for this series so let's move on.
The manga...
Plot
Bocchi's new life...
That moment that forced Bocchi to make friends on herself...
The show focuses on Hotori Bocchi's adventure to making friends with her classmates. OK. That's it. Let's go...I'm joking. It's not that journey is not that simple as suffers from social anxiety, which makes it hard for her to talk to others. What's more this "mission" is given by her "former" middle school friend. How she did it? She decides to go to a different middle school as Bocchi and breaks off their friendship until she can make friends with her entire class, forcing her to make new friends in her new school. Wow.
Bocchi broke...
Well, the hilarious and weird journey of Bocchi making friends starts! The plot centres around Bocchi's lack of common sense, weird antics and her social anxiety. Also, all of the characters' name is somehow related to a certain Japanese phrase, which fits the narrative of the character and is part of the gag of the show. LMAO! You want examples? One of the girls, Honshou Aru. Her name comes from the phrase, 本性ある, which means having a true nature. Well, there's nothing more I can say so let's go!!!
A girl on a...pole? A post?
Anime Rating
Story (Rating: 8/10)
Interesting story setup...that's all I would say. The story where Bocchi pushes toward the goal of making friends from her class is really interesting as the interaction between the different characters is hilarious and funny. The flow and pacing are right on point. You won't feel that the story takes too much or too little time to progress. Also, the story is really easy to understand: One aim, one goal, lots of hilarious and light-hearted moments.
Aru...Aww...
Art and Animation (Rating: 8/10)
The art and animation are pretty decent and pretty consistent. The exaggerated expressions of different characters in the series are well-drawn and express their feeling very well. The characters are well-drawn too and also consistent. Overall, the animation and arts are pretty good and consistent.
That scene...LOL!
Sound and Music (Rating: 5/10)
The opening song is befitting the general theme of the anime but I never really like the song. As for ending song...well, it is the same case as the opening song. Well, the sound effects and background music are decent
The opening sequence...
Characters (Rating: 10/10)
The characters are pretty unique. It's hard to see the main character so hilariously failed at trying to make friends. Most of them kinda just become friends with her because of her persistence and her sincerity. Also, the characters' names are hilarious and fit the setting of each character. The interactions between the characters are great and hilarious. I like it. The improvement of Bocchi to overcome her anxiousness around people and make new friends is a hilarious journey, a light-hearted journey and a heart-warming journey. The characters...for me, I dun really like them and neither do I dislike them. The relatability of the characters? I think...it's probably the lack of knowledge of actual Japanese culture by a certain character in the story. If you watched this anime, you probably would know which character I'm talking about. xD
That moment...LOL. Aru...oh, Aru...
Enjoyment (Rating: 9/10)
Any show that gave me a good laugh usually is something that I enjoy. Like so many cute girls doing cute things comedy anime, the laughter that it gave me is worth my watch. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the hilarious lack of confidence and lack of common sense of Bocchi (and sometimes, other characters). xD
LMAO!
Overall Rating: 8 (7.75)/10

Conclusion
Oh...you are here! Anyway, my blog progress has been VERY slow in recent weeks because I have too many game events and job to juggle with. I wanted to talk about the Idolm@ster series but because of time, I decided to write about this anime as this is pretty short and pretty to talk about. I'll try to finish it up but there's no guarantee as to when I would publish it. Well, that's the end of this post. I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this blog. Goodbye, and God bless you!
Tsundere...?
I like Aru in her primary school uniform...wait, dun call the police!
Hello! After two special posts ( Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso & Aikatsu ), I gonna to be writing an anime review after finished watching this year. Since I had posted a huge amount of post recently, this time I will take my sweet time to write this post. Of course, I would try to finish it ASAP. Cute, right? Anyway, had guessed what anime is it? Well, it's in the title. Duh! It's RO-KYU-BU! Yes, it's about a bunch of lolis and playing basketball. How? Well, you will see. WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned.

Hello, minna!!! It has been a while since I had been going on a post writing spree. First, it is Frame Arms Girl , and then Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records . NOW, it is time for... Nice, right? ...BUSOU SHOUJO MACHIAVELLIANISM!!!!!!!!!!! Well, it takes a lot of time to go on a writing spree like this. Anyway, a reward for myself and for you, the readers after finishing my exam!!! Oh yeah, one more thing, I will have a special deep dive post into this anime's most special part, which is the Japanese Swordsmanship or Kenjutsu. Anyway, let's get on with it, shall we? WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned.
Hey, readers. Finally, I've gotten some time on doing this special post. Anyway, I had done an anime review on Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism . BUT, BUT, I felt that it wasn't enough. So, I decided to do a deep dive on some of the things within the anime. Oh, Satori... Well, I had to conduct a little bit of research to get to know and dive in a little deeper than usual. So, this one is gonna be a VERY HUGE SPOILER. So...the WARNING SIGN is a little unusual. Maybe I will use this modified warning sign for new posts. Anyway, let's go? WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
I'm posting this review because this anime is awesome...of course, it's not just about the lolis...and 'cause it is good to watch. Although I need to catch up with my studies plus to review this anime is quite tedious and long, I will try to review it with patience and with love? Perhaps? Never mind, let's go on. Shall we? Nice picture, isn't it? WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
YO!!! How are you? I'm fine and I'm fired up to write more on Princess Principal!!!!! OH YEAH!!! Sorry, Buta Yarou movie, the publishing of that post will need to be postponed. Oops! I accidentally revealed it. Never mind. More SPY TIME!!! So, yeah...I actually planned to talk about the Buta Yarou movie after my blog post on Princess Principal but damn, I blame historical context in this anime. I love to study history a lot. This anime gives me that "kick" to get me going to study 19th century Europe (which is in the 1800s) once again (and even deeper than before). Damn, there's a lot of things happening at that point according to my research. It is TIME for my deep dive after my last anime deep dive !!! WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blam...
