Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

BOCCHI THE ROCK! keeps narrative front and center, focusing on relatable social anxiety and band dynamics. Characters are well-developed based on their personalities, not box-checking identity politics. The show doesn't shoehorn in forced representation or distract from character arcs for the sake of ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show respects traditional themes like friendship, hard work, and personal growth. Family and school life are depicted positively and realistically, without subverting cultural norms or promoting modern re-interpretations. There's nothing here that makes traditional values the butt of any joke.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not villainized or mocked, if anything, the show presents pluralism via the band members' differing backgrounds and personalities. There's no heavy ideological hand at play, and the narrative steers clear of modern dogma.
