History YMMV / BocchiTheRock

* NightmareFuel: While thankfully played for laughs, Hitori's glitched screaming is a bit horrifying. The fact that it was all the actor's unedited scream makes it worse.

* {{Moe}}: Hitori, full stop. Not only does she look adorable (to the point her friends think so in-universe), but her kindness, shyness, and willingness to help others whilst trying to get over her anxiety make her very endearing.

* TearJerker:
** While the ImagineSpot sequences of Bocchi ending up as an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] {{NEET}} {{Hikkikomori}} are BlackComedy - the first time, it's at an age at which Futari is a wife and a mother, and the second time, it's after washing out of a sales job for a company - it's rather depressing that this is how Bocchi thinks her life will turn out.
** Nijika and Seika's flashback chapter has them lose their mother. During the funeral, Nijika is bawling, while Seika only stands by without any expression on her face, neither willing nor able to comfort her much younger sister.
*** Prior to her death, Seika made Nijika cry by ignoring her, making her resent Seika's band. Noticing this, her mother goes to Seika's place and demands her to stop making her little sister cry.
*** To deal with her mother's passing, Seika fully devotes to the band and tries to act like nothing happened in an attempt to avert her eyes from the reality of her passing.
*** At least Seika has support from her friends. After the funeral, Nijika was left alone to deal with her mother's passing, as her dad is busy at work and Seika is far away with her band, this leading to her breaking down emotionally and choosing to stay home forever and not go to school anymore, forcing the dad to call Seika and ask to help her sister. Small wonder Seika is hit as hard when she finally realizes that she's been neglecting her sister and running away from her mother's death.

* LGBTFanbase: With its cast of loveable and appealing female characters, lesbian viewers really took to this series. It also helps that one of the main characters is explicitly gay, and several others including Bocchi herself are implied to be lesbians too.

* LGBTFanbase: With its cast of loveable and appealing female characters, sapphic viewers really took to this series. It also helps that one of the main characters is explicitly gay, and several others including Bocchi herself are implied to be sapphic too.

** The guitar Kita is seen using later is a Les Paul Junior, which fits with her lack of experience as compared to her bandmates.

* TheWoobie: Hitori herself. She's shy to the nth degree, extremely anxious, and has poor self esteem. The girl really needs a hug.

** The guitar Hitori got from her dad is a Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, a $6899 USD guitar, although it's implied to be a vintage one which would have been far less expensive when her dad got it. Her second is a Yamaha [=PAC611VFM=] custom job, which would have cost around $800 USD.

* SignatureScene: Bocchi's so-called [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nmhxkjgdq21nnpg4rzwny88cyaxhljwsp0u8rvglqywsar0xcn747nkyfnhhaur3.jpeg Glitch Scream]], spurred on by the merest ''suggestion'' of opening an Instagram account, quickly became set in stone as perhaps the series's most iconic and hilarious gag, as exemplified by the fact it was chosen to be the series's page image for Funny Moments.

* FandomRivalry: With ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' of all things. This small rivalry mostly comes from both shows competing for the most popular anime of Fall 2022, as well from comparisions between Bocchi's creative direction in contrast with ''Chainsaw Man''s more down-to-earth direction (which was a point of contention for fans of the manga).

** While PA-san's design isn't particularly fanservicey in canon, fanart tends to give her a more voluptuous body and put her in more revealing outfits.

** Nijika and Seika's flashback chapter has them lose their mother. During the funeral, Nijika is bawling, while Seika only stands by without any expression on her face, neither willing nor able to comfort her much younger sister. Small wonder she's hit as hard as she is when she finally realizes that she's been neglecting her sister and running away from her mother's death.

** While Bocchi is canonically bustier than her bandmates, she's not exaggeratedly so and the manga mainly uses her [[HiddenBuxom surprisingly large]] chest size as the punchline for gags. Fan artists usually dispense with that and give Hitori huge boobs and an insanely curvy, attractive figure.

** If crossover fanart has anything to say about it, it also has a relationship with ''Manga/LaidBackCamp'' due to both leads being similar in appearance (but completely opposite in personality--Nadeshiko is a GenkiGirl) and also involving a particular club that all of the characters share a common ground with (camping and music). Coincidentally both of those are run in ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara''.

** Hitori is an anxious ShrinkingViolet who even states herself that she has a "communication disorder". However, while in Japan the term "communication disorder" can be used to refer to more serious cases of anxiety, it can also be used for someone who simply has NoSocialSkills. Given just how extreme her anxiety gets, it's still easy for fans to interpret her as having a social anxiety disorder that potentially requires psychiatric intervention.

** It has even shared fans of Minato Aqua from ''WebAnimation/Hololive'', considering both her and Hitori are both similar personality and appearance wise. It's also helped that Aqua herself has noticed the similarities and has even streamed the first season.
