Canonical: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/bocchi-the-rock Markdown: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/bocchi-the-rock/order.md Also known as: Bocchi the Rock, BOCCHI THE ROCK!, ぼっち・ざ・ろっく！, Hitori Gotoh Last updated: 2026-11-09 Last checked against current sources: 2026-11-09 Entries: 3 Source: AnimeChrono, community-curated (https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/bocchi-the-rock) Cite: AnimeChrono, "Bocchi the Rock! Watch Order", https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/bocchi-the-rock (updated 2026-11-09). Where to start Bocchi the Rock!: begin with Season 1, episode 1 (2022). This Bocchi the Rock! watch order treats the 12-episode TV series as the whole main path so far. The 2024 recap films Re: and Re:Re: are optional. Season 2 and the Hoshi no Ashiato movie are announced but not released as of November 2026. Release order and story order match for Season 1. ## Recommended first watch Start with Bocchi the Rock! Season 1 (12 episodes). The Re: and Re:Re: recap films are optional. Season 2 and Hoshi no Ashiato are announced, not out yet. ## Start here Start with Episodes 1-12 (Bocchi the Rock!). 2 entries are optional: Recap Part 1 (Re:) (Bocchi the Rock! Re:) and Recap Part 2 (Re:Re:) (Bocchi the Rock! Re:Re:). The story still tracks without them. Filler and skip notes: - **Recap Part 1 (Re:) (Bocchi the Rock! Re:)** — Optional recap film (2024): retells Season 1 episodes 1-8 with a few new scenes. - **Recap Part 2 (Re:Re:) (Bocchi the Rock! Re:Re:)** — Optional recap film (2024): retells episodes 9-12 and the school festival, plus new scenes. ## Why this order The chronological list is story order: when the events happen, not when they aired. A season is split into episode ranges where a movie, OVA, or special sits in the middle of it. Quote that list unless Recommended first watch names a different place to start. Release order further down is the same entries sorted by air date. It is not the default order to quote. Each entry is one line: the title, then type, episodes (start-end, when the order stores a range), run (how many episodes that range covers), essential or optional, aired (YYYY-MM-DD), format (the AniList format of an episode block, when this page already knows it), and note. A field is omitted when this order has no value for it. Minute runtimes are not stored, so none are printed. ## The chronological order 1.
