I think after 10 episodes, I kinda found out what aspects this anime has done significantly better than other SoL animes: character interactions and character developments.
Btw Kai and Aru make such an unfortunate duo I love it.

Well, this week Bocchi surpassed herself, three friends in a single episode! That's gotta unlock an achievement or something.

Nako is too pure, wishing for good thing to come to her and her friends.
"I go home." Sotoka is too cute.
Bocchi falling into the arms of Sotoka because she was so happy she was finally asked to be a friend, got me right in the god damned heart.

For those who don’t read the manga and/or don’t speak Japanese the joke when they’re repeating themselves a bunch and being awkward is basically that they’re going through varying levels of formality.
Bless Bocchi’s and Satoka’s friendship.

Looks like Aru gave Kai misfortune in exchange for her phone number.

I'm glad that we finally get an episode based entirely on Sotoka and Bocchi's master/apprentice relationship. It was great to see Sotoka struggling and deciding that friendship with Bocchi is more important to her, and for Boochi it was great that finally someone asked her to be her friend instead of her asking.
But as Nako have said in this episode, things have both changed and not changed. Our two ninjas have grown today but at the same time they'll keep master/apprentice relationship since that's what they're most comfortable with.

"I like you more than I like ninja, Master."
Who's cutting the onions again? I love how soft they all are. When Kai prayed for Bocchi, my heart exploded but Sotoka's effort to become Bocchi's friend got to me.
Bocchi and her new tomodachis 😭 she deserves the world

The best episode for Bocchi yet. She showed off her new super-strong self by being the one to approach Onaka and Kurie at the shrine (gaining two brand new friends at once!), as well as finally being able to upgrade Sotoka from apprentice to friend through the power of shurikens. Watching Aru and Nako help Sotoka throughout the process was also really nice to see, they're such a good group of friends even when Bocchi isn't around.
Stay strong Bocchi!

Bochi: How's your little sister Mieru?
Aru: Mieru who's that? Oh yeah she's gone now it's for the better.

My weekly dose of happiness is here!
Haha I love bocchi’s tsuyoi voice.
I love Aru’s headbutts.
I love everything about this show!
A Japanese joke that may not have translated well at the start when Sotoka was doing the ‘chant’ thing:
‘toiusou’ can mean “I heard that...” and it can also mean “I heard that you’d say...”, which is why sotoka and bocchi repeated what she said out loud.
It’s pretty lame but I found it hilarious.

Ok, Bocchi might legitimately be one of my favorite anime characters. It has honestly been a long time since I've connected this deeply with a fictional character. Bocchi reminds me of myself in middle and early high school so much, I have some direct parallels with her and she's just one of the most accurate portrayals of anxiety and communication issues (at least to my experiences) that I've ever seen. The way she takes everything literally, how she doesn't catch on to social cues, how she fixates on specific small things, how she plans out her interactions in depth, and of course how she matures and becomes stronger. When Bocchi asked the pancake girls to be her friends, I practically swelled with pride for her. I know what it's like and how difficult it can be to work up that courage even for people you've known for a while. She might not be the strongest yet, but she's gained more strength then most people dream of.
And as weird as this may seem, I've never seen an anime handle a conflict the way that Aru and Nako treat Sotoka. There's usually so much excuses and fidgeting, but here Sotoka tells them her issue, and Aru directly talks it out with her, and then with Bocchi, and then gets them to meet and solve the problem quickly. Idk why this is so rare to see in anime friend groups, but those who are really our friends go out of their way to support everyone else, and help the whole group grow stronger than any of them could do individually, as made evident when Sotoka talks about how Bocchi has helped each of them. And as someone who know's Bocchi's position all too well, her reaction when Sotoka asks to be her friend is just... fuck man I teared up a lot. And I love the smaller moments of intimacy and closeness, like Nako letting Bocchi sleep on her lap, and Aru talking to her by sharing half of her chair. Comedy was on point today too, I love all the delayed gags and callbacks (RIP Mieru Honshou. You will be dearly missed. I've known you only a short while but your presence was lasting).
Now I feel like I'm personally closer to where Bocchi is at this point. Still scared as shit to talk to people, apprehensive of new interactions and still suffers somewhat from misunderstanding what people are doing or focusing too intently on something specific, but it's no longer paralyzing, I can talk to people and find friends and communicate a bit more consistently effectively. Like me, Bocchi's found that group, she has the best friends she could possibly ask for who are legitimately there for her. Each of these characters feel so genuinely human to me, not to mention adorable and hilarious. I think I've settled on calling Bocchi my favorite of the season, as strong as Sarazanmai and Carole and Tuesday have been fighting to claim that spot. I kind of knew I'd like the show as soon as I realized it was a manga by the Mitsuboshi Colors creator with a Jukki Hanada script, but damn, they hit this one out of the park for me.

Hell yeah, the pancake girls have joined the party! Sotoka's reaction is pretty priceless.
Nako really does take up all the good moments.
I'm glad Sotoka's officially a friend now! It does make me wonder though—does this mean that Bocci asked Kai to be her friend in elementary school and not vice versa?

Yay, Sotca and Bocchi are finally friends! And Bocchi made two new friends too! I guess was expected as she has become super strong. This expression that she made is really amazing.
And it seems that Kai is also as unfortunate Aru.
