Eps 5:
An actual musical performance in a "music anime!" The whole thing! Not just the intro and outro repeatedly after a hard cut.
Every week this series continues to improve on itself.
Each episode gives me a nice sense of nostalgia for late-1990s/early-2000s GAINAX. In part because every episode feels like it is deliberately and purposefully a GAINAX Ending type of episode. The mixed media that actually works, the rough animation used for comedy, and the highly detailed and meticulous animation when it counts.
I lost it when they started showing the scenic views of the dam releases. But the other regular gags like the concrete pipe of solitude and Bocchi always crawling into trash cans for comfort are good too.
I was wondering if the sister and the other woman were going to recognize Bocchi's playing from her youtube account (she's wearing the same jersey in every video after all...) once she started playing with confidence.
Too bad the sister's plan backfired and Bocchi spiraled out even more, but that's social anxiety portrayed right.
