[SOL is SOL, There is no spoilers unless you like to go in to shows blind then stay clear of this.]()

Cute and fun show about a girl who struggles to talk to people.

[PREMISE OF THE SHOW:]()
Hitoribocchi is show that focuses on the daily life of Hitori...Bocchi (yep).

It is very clear that she has quite strong Social Anxiety.
The whole set up of the show is that before entering Middle School her one and only friend, Kai, has told her that if she doesn't befriend the whole class she is not worthy of being friends with her.
Not the best thing to say to a person who struggles with such a condition but hey this is a fictional piece of work, I'll let that slide.

I think the rest of the show should be pretty clear for you, she goes around trying to befriend people in her class. At first she tries to make it so her class disbands but then actually puts in the effort.

There are many moments in the show were Bocchi's Anxiety gets blown out of proportion just for the sake of comedy, but honestly I don't feel like that was that bad.
If I recall correctly I heard multiple individuals say that they didn't like the show as much cause of this reason but as a person who basically is the male Bocchi I'll say that this was a lot of fun.
I watch Anime to escape reality, not to get dragged back into it. I mean it would be cool to see a show that has a deep tone and talks seriously about this but funny is funny. I like funny stuff.

[CHARACTERS:]()
Due to the nature of this show we are presented with multiple different characters.
The I'll be focusing on the main cast though since they are all so lovable:

Hitori Bocchi - Well I already talked about her quite a bit, she is very anxious and when she gets too happy she faints (or if she gets too anxious she vomits).
She is most often seen overthinking and planning ahead how to do normal human things such as saying "Good Morning".

Nako Sunao - She looks tough and acts like it but is a very friendly and nice person. She is the first friend Bocchi makes. She tries to make Bocchi feel calm and make more friends which is so nice.

Aru Honshou - The ultimate human form, there is no other human like Aru. She always shines bright, she doesn't lose. ARU!!! Unless she activates her normal mode and becomes the most unfortunate person on the whole planet.
She is quite calm but can get upset when people call her unfortunate.

Sotoka Rakita - Her sole reason for coming to Japan was because she wanted to see Ninjas. Yep, I shit you not. She thinks Bocchi is a master ninja cause she always hides from everyone else.
Sotoka is quite lively and energetic, always eager to play. She is also from another country and lives by her self which saddens me :(

[ART/ANIMATION:]()
This show has some really cute art style, really fits well with the show and our saviour Bocchi.
The animation on the other hand feels more average, it can be really smooth and great at times but mostly its the same ol' we got used to in pretty much every SOL.

Not to say its bad but nothing new or groundbreaking like Nichijou and K-On.

[MUSIC:]()
The OP, oh lawd is it catchy. I'm even humming and listening to it as I'm writing this review, its cute, catchy, and fits well with the show. What more can you ask for?

The ED, is also not bad, I mean the OP is much more catchy and I don't really go back listening to the ED but its not bad. After all of the anxious chaos that occured in the episode we are presented with a calm and relaxing tune. Not bad.
There is of course the ED2 (Wa Ha Ha one), my goodness, this is the one that really stuck in my head. Its just perfection. Its like the Chika ED. Catchy for all eternity.

[OVERALL OPINION:]()
This show is just filled with cute.
My heart melted every time I watched this show. If you like SOL and just cute things then go ahead, watch this show.

I could relate to almost everything Bocchi did or thought which is always great, I think.
There were also sad moments, they weren't that strong to make me cry but I did shed few tears in the part about Sotoka living alone and feeling lonely.
