Hello Patreon family ! I hope you enjoy your unedited access to my detailed analysis of Bocchi the Rock Episode 10! We begin the T-2 episode countdown to the season finale and the closing out of this wonderful series :')

What is the main takeaway of this episode? For me, this highlights the beautiful power of a group and how our loved ones have the power to lift us out of our dark places and doubts. What a wonderful feeling it is to have someone who believes in us, even when we do not.

So, do it scared, anyway! You are never alone.

Happy thanksgiving and holidays for those who celebrate!

“An unfamiliar ceiling” is an homage to a scene from Neon Genesis: Evangelion where the MC wakes in a hospital setting. The MC like Hitori has many anxieties and self-doubt. So of course Hitori ends up in the nurses office this episode 😆.

Watching this show again (for the 3rd time) with you, im really nothing how much actual progress she makes that I didnt notice before. Her talking to the manager is a huge step. Also, her daydream of being a Rockstar may be the first time her daydreams are shown to be positive rather than negative.

I liked your comments about comparisons -- I'll remember that.

34:45 Indeed very real, Human mostly compare instinctively either it's little thing you see / experience leading to insecurity due being unfair to ourself. Ex : on my very first debate and i saw my friend performance, the intonation, word arrangement, arguments was way beyond my capability. Well no shi that being has literally competes all the time even national level, but were instinctively thinking about how im not even half as good that creature, ignoring the fact that in this game that creature already at level 100 while im even still dealing with social anxiety. It leads to pressure of being judge, triggered anxiety, etc (even though I've prepared well for this debate). So, things to point out is that how is our coping mechanism to comparision. Let's take similar to your example "i want to be rich / success but most of rich people are born from a wealthy family while im not" and their coping mechanism is "so there's no point to trying its definetly impossible for me to be rich anyway". This is such an overgeneralized statement that sadly in Indonesia becomes a common knowledge for many people leading to continous behavior of seeking comfort and avoiding progress (maybe due to fear, idk whats the word) to the point that they fear someone with the same state as you trying to be success, they start spreading hate or discrediting succesfull / rich influencer thinking they got lucky born in wealthy families and gaslight other who tries their way to be successful / making progress despite not born from such family. Instead we all know the supposedly right coping mechanism to that is simply thinking about improve from our position rn and think about the next realistic step, whether or not you will got opportunity in the future but what matters most is that you building value, "success" can be anything, doesn't have to be rich it's not one dimesional. Idk if im on the right topic but correct me if im wrong, lmaooo. Great reaction as always, thankyouu

You are 100% on point, thanks for sharing especially about your own experience with your friend on the debate team. We need to recognize our own strengths to make progress and help with this comparsion syndrome thing!

Ahhh I think there's a misunderstanding here. A maiden is a young woman, not a maid. I'm avtually not sure if there's a etymologicsl relation, but there's no relation in meaning now. This episode was great of course but I remember feeling a little disappointed that the music wasn't really psychedelic rock at all, it was really just a slightly slower JROCK. Still a nice song but yeah 😮‍💨

We love Hiroi anyway! Bless her (alcoholic) soul, she's got her heart in the right place 😌
