Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I thought we\u2019d check in on the misadventures of Bocchi and the gang, as our crew settles back into their school routine after a semi-triumphant summer break. Bookended by the shining victories of Kessoku Band\u2019s latest performance and their trip to the beach, Bocchi\u2019s vacation was otherwise characterized by a retreat to Bocchi\u2019s familiar bedroom hermitage, emphasizing how personal growth is never quite as easy or consistent as we might hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Kita has promised she\u2019ll be paying more attention to Bocchi at school, so I imagine we\u2019re in for a fresh run of socialization immersion therapy as classes reconvene. Can Bocchi square her desperate need to be seen with her paralyzing terror of being known? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 10<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open in a moment of crisis, as a group of students hosting some event learn the band they\u2019ve scheduled can\u2019t perform. Whatever shall they do!?<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course it\u2019s a Bocchi fantasy, with our heroine stepping gallantly into the spotlight to save the day. Even in her fantasies, she\u2019s still wearing her comfort tracksuit, and her classmates still can\u2019t remember her name<\/span><\/p>\n

And thus Bocchi arrives at Budokan. The stage boundary provides a handy hard line for creating a panning shot, by sliding the stage layer and background layer in opposite directions in order to create the illusion of moving into depth<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I appreciate the unchained adoration of the crowd here. The greediness of Bocchi\u2019s dreams is humanizing in its own way<\/span><\/p>\n

She wakes up in homeroom, with her class having just decided to put on a maid and butler caf\u00e9 for the school festival. Well, that\u2019s one way to force her outside her comfort zone<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone wants to perform on the second day of the cultural festival, make sure you put one of these forms in the box.\u201d A school festival performance seems like an excellent way to bridge the gap between Bocchi\u2019s two lives<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yep, this has been her dream since back in middle school. Bocchi has been able to gain confidence by essentially inventing a new version of herself for Starry and the band, but it is a separate emotional hurdle to carry that invention back to school and declare \u201cthis is my authentic self\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bocchi\u2019s hunger for this performance carries her all the way to the submission box before she comes to her anxious senses<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn unfamiliar ceiling.\u201d A reference even more unescapable than dead Yamcha. Evangelion still casts a long shadow!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kita comes to visit her in the nurse\u2019s office. I like how every other member of the band has gained a healthy fear of Kita\u2019s starry-eyed enthusiasm; she\u2019s a Love Live heroine dealing with a bunch of K-On slackers<\/span><\/p>\n

Love this slight design shift of Bocchi\u2019s thicker, rounder lines and oversized head under the covers. This production often dazzles through its Nichijou-esque aesthetic commitment to bits, but even simple shifts like this can pack a lot of comedic and emotive punch<\/span><\/p>\n

That style contrasts nicely against her exaggerated, elongated facial designs as she\u2019s battered by enthusiasm from a concert video<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBut a loner-type shining at the culture festival is a classic trope!\u201d Shuddering with age wondering what percentage of this show\u2019s audience have even seen Haruhi Suzumiya<\/span><\/p>\n

Bocchi\u2019s second fantasy of performance <\/span>also<\/span><\/i> involves her classmates forgetting her name. God damn, Bocchi<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, it\u2019s Seika who gives Bocchi the push she needs. Seika has swiftly become Bocchi\u2019s most reliable adult champion and confidant, gently leading her forward when she needs it<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ryo already performed in middle school. \u201cI played obscure songs and totally bombed with the audience!\u201d God I admire her confidence. Though I guess my own band was confident enough to play our lousy originals in high school, so I definitely have at least a touch of Ryo\u2019s \u201cif they can\u2019t appreciate it it\u2019s their loss\u201d in me<\/span><\/p>\n

This layout with the band and Starry employees all lounging around has a lovely sense of depth to it. Delightful to see a modern production still prioritizing that aspect of composition, when so many shows have embraced flat digital backgrounds<\/span><\/p>\n

And then Ryo acknowledges she still has nightmares about bombing. Apparently I have even less shame than Ryo, a terrifying thought<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nice to see her bandmates advising her to think it over, offering encouragement but not pushing her towards anything<\/span><\/p>\n

Aaand of course Kita picked the submission form out of the trash and handed it in. Well,<\/span><\/p>\n

Bocchi going cubist in response is a good visual gag, made even better by the cut back to the show\u2019s usual aesthetic with Bocchi still angular and flat<\/span><\/p>\n

Then onward to The Scream<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love Kita wearing an \u201cI\u2019m a criminal\u201d label at Starry, like she\u2019s a dog who ate someone\u2019s pasta<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Kikuri stops by, handing out tickets for a performance by her own band. Damn, are we gonna get three separate performances across this show\u2019s last act?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kikuri is shocked at their offers to pay for the tickets. Mooching off friends has to come organically, not as part of a con!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my money goes to paying for the equipment I break while playing drunk.\u201d God, what a way to live. Well, it worked for The Replacements, until it swiftly stopped working for The Replacements, who could likely have been one of the biggest bands in history if not for self-sabotage. Seriously, songs like \u201cUnsatisfied\u201d and \u201cLeft of the Dial\u201d both predated and surpassed the output of \u201890s alt rock<\/span><\/p>\n

With Seika\u2019s insistence, both of our delinquent bassists at last pay Bocchi back<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent character animation for Kikuri even in these mid-distance shots, as she playfully sways her body with drunken confidence, her movements conveyed through careful changes in the shading of her dress<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also more excellent interior layouts. The combination of background clutter and characters standing across multiple layers of depth gives this venue a sense of personality and presence, an effect that seems uniquely important for this show that is both so invested in club culture and so focused on finding a place you can call home. Starry is as much of a character as the rest of the cast, a personal friend to Nijika, Ryo, and Bocchi<\/span><\/p>\n

They meet Gin, Kikuri\u2019s club manager, and learn the secret truth that most punk rockers and metalheads are actually big softies once you look past their aggressive aesthetic<\/span><\/p>\n

They then meet Kikuri\u2019s far more respectable bandmates, Shima and Eliza<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEliza\u2019s always saying anisongs are Japan\u2019s bleeding-edge sound!\u201d I\u2019m not so sure I can agree with that one. The best anime soundtracks tend to impress through their divergence from anisong music convention, generally through the work of a single composer like Yoko Kanno or Yuki Kajiura<\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting choice for conveying the crowd here, depicting them as unique outlines with full gray color fills. It\u2019s not exactly convincing, but it\u2019s certainly better than CG spectators<\/span><\/p>\n

Kikuri\u2019s band SICK HACK plays psychedelic rock. I was sort of expecting punk rock given you can still play that while drunk, but this is a nice surprise<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s best for a beginner to start with their second album.\u201d That does not surprise me at all. Many bands suffer a \u201csophomore slump\u201d because they spent their entire existence as a band carefully developing the tracks for their debut, and are then forced to rush out a second album in twelve or eighteen months. In contrast, more live- than studio-oriented bands often develop their sound through active play, put out a dubious first record, and then lock into place with their second. Kikuri would obviously be the second type<\/span><\/p>\n

Their menacing opening track is echoed by appropriately psychedelic color design<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe emotional yet overwhelmingly logical playing of the guitar.\u201d That description basically sums up math rock, a genre to which this overall show owes a tremendous debt<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aw dang, it\u2019s over so quick. I wanted to hear another song!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another excellent depth-rich layout in the green room, with the blocking of the characters creating an arrow leading our eyes straight towards Bocchi in the back<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s true what they say: gloomy people attract.\u201d The club scene is absolutely brimming with introverts who see the stage as the one place where they can truly shine. You\u2019re among good company, Bocchi<\/span><\/p>\n

Kessoku Band convene at one of those Japanese diners that apparently serve anything. I always wonder how good the food at those places could possibly be, given how thinly the kitchen staff\u2019s being stretched<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three Bs to avoid in a boyfriend are \u2018bassist, \u2018bassist,\u2019 and \u2018bassist,\u2019 after all!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut isn\u2019t going all-original at the cultural festival a bit aggressive?\u201d It is, but fuck \u2018em. My band would generally throw in a few covers, but they\u2019d never be hits. Lemme think\u2026 we did Slow Show by The National, Nothin\u2019 to You by Two Gallants, Kiss the Bottle by Jawbreaker, Boomboxes and Dictionaries by The Gaslight Anthem, and the Dino Jr. version of Just Like Heaven, among others. All very fun songs, but no one was ever lighting up in recognition<\/span><\/p>\n

On their way back, Kita admits she knew Gotoh threw out the application, but submitted it anyway. Nice to see a bit of an edge from Kita, who\u2019s otherwise so bright and positive<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

And so our gang marches bravely forward, buoyed up by their reliable allies as they approach their next performance! It\u2019s always a pleasure to see more of Kikuri, and actually catching part of a performance was even more special. I would have loved to just spend an episode watching SICK HACK perform, but this episode was otherwise chock full of subtle reflections on the evolving relationships of our main cast, from Nijika and Ryo\u2019s careful negotiation of Bocchi\u2019s anxieties to Kita\u2019s unexpected and welcome flash of greediness in pushing for this concert. All of these major events would have overwhelmed our initial Bocchi, but with mentors like Kikuri and Seika supporting her, she\u2019s finally learning to embrace the spotlight. Onwards to the school festival!<\/span><\/p>\n
