Bocchi the Rock! invades a dental office

Renowned producer of CloverWorks Studios, Shouta Umehara, surprised his followers on Twitter by sharing a peculiar experience he had during a visit to the dentist. In her post, Umehara revealed that while she was in the dental procedure, her dentist decided to put the popular anime "Bocchi the Rock!" on the screen. What made this moment even more surprising is that "Bocchi the Rock!" is a series that Umehara participated in as a producer.

• "When I dropped my phone at my doctor's appointment, the dentist noticed the sticker on it and asked, "Are you a fan of 'Bocchi the Rock!'?" I told him that I worked in the anime industry and that I had participated in this series, and in the end he decided to put the anime on the screen," the producer said.

"Bocchi the Rock!", a series that follows the story of Hitori Gotou, an extremely anxious and socially awkward young woman who longs to become a rock musician despite her struggles, while fulfilling her desire to make friends one day. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she is taken in by Nijika Ijichi to become a member of her newly formed band, Kessoku Band.

This encounter at the dentist not only surprised Umehara, but also his followers on social media, who couldn't help but share their astonishment at this curious anecdote.

• "When I went to the Bocchi the Rock! exhibition, there were a lot of people with their children. It's not a show that wants to appeal only to otaku, but to all families in general."
• "I also want to go to a dentist who will put animus in the waiting room."
• "It really caught my attention when I watched the series in the Family Area during this year's AnimeJapan. The young fans of Bocchi the Rock!, I thought about the possibility of brothers and sisters watching it together, it's certainly a great series for all audiences."
• "I think it was a great decision to remove the ecchi content from the original manga, such as Bocchi's big breasts that are usually showcased."
• "Imagine if she had a Shizuku-tan sticker and was asked, 'Do you like Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls too?' I wouldn't have liked the end result."
• "I'm very afraid of dentists, maybe this would help me relax?"
• "I feel like I'd be the anti-fan in that waiting room, much to my bad luck."
• "Bocchi the Rock! It's really still an anime that breaks boundaries and generations."
