Welcome back to our Pandemic Guide To Anime, the pop culture series that shows up once in a blue moon to lull us into a sense of minor security while everything around us burns or gets infected or remains stubbornly unindicted despite the entire planet knowing there was crookery afoot.
We gave the big reintroduction last time around, so this time we'll be able to kick things off without a fuss. Bocchi the Rock! was announced as the best new anime of the year according to a select committee consisting of me and between four to seven other imaginary versions of me, but there are plenty of fans out there who would argue that this year's other internet meme factory deserves that spot. Just watch 'em both, it's not like you don't have time for it.
