Such a wonderful character. She's that friend everyone had in high school who you kind of avoided in social situations because they would do or say something embarrassing at the worst possible moment. In my case, I had a friend who would suddenly start talking about professional wrestling in front of girls. That, and he'd constantly quote South Park. Ugh.
Also, there are some interesting differences with the manga. First, the character designs in the anime seem to be more realistic, which makes the characters look older. I don't have a problem with that but I do think it made Aru's elementary school faux pas look a bit ... weird.
Second, the anime is more active than the manga. The manga has a slower pace, with a lot of Bocchi agonizing over her failures and being cute in general. Kind of interesting to see them take this direction.
Lastly, I think it's worth adding that in the fan translated version of the manga, Nako always calls Aru "loser," which is why all the memes say that. From what I can gather, the real meaning of what she calls Aru is somewhere between that and "unfortunate." It's like more of an insult but not as harsh as "loser." That's just what I've gleaned from conversations between people who might or might not know what they're talking about, though.
