Synopsis

There's a rumor about a mysterious phenomenon called "puberty syndrome." For example, Sakuta Azusagawa is a high school student who suddenly sees a bunny girl appear in front of him. The girl is actually a girl named Mai Sakurajima, who is Sakuta's upperclassman who is also a famous actress who has gone on hiatus from the entertainment industry. For some reason, the people around Mai cannot see her bunny-girl figure. Sakuta sets out to solve this mystery, and as he spends time with Mai, he learns her secret feelings. Other heroines who have "puberty syndrome" start to appear in front of Sakuta. (Source: Anime News Network)

Bunny Girl Senpai handles the most arduous issues in adolescence: social anxiety and all that comes with it.

At the start of the season, I most definitely didn't think that Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai would be my favorite show of the fall. And I certainly didn't think that I'd be fighting countless other glowing reviews upon completion like I am now, but such is the way of anime. Good shows…

A surprisingly wholesome look at mental illness through the lens of a boy who can't help but help.

Some anime attempt to subvert expectations through some outwardly shallow or wacky title that's intended to catch an unsuspecting viewer by surprise. Bunny Girl Senpai certainly does that, and much, much, more. Bunny Girl Senpai is about mental illness. Dancing around with the metaphorical _Adolesc…

Poor Man's Monogatari

Bunny Girl Senpai is clearly derivative of the hundreds of preceding high school rom-coms that came before it. In fact, it's structure is so similar to the Monogatari series, it's pretty hard to talk about Bunny Girl Senpai without referencing Monogatari somewhere. Both anime build a pseudo harem th…

This anime is super good and had me captivated the entire time. It has a bakemonogatari vibe if your into that anime.

Instead of the schlock I expected, the story had one of the best sets of characters in 2018. I’m a bit saddened that the publisher didn’t think the story could’ve succeeded without such a fan-service focused title. But I’m pleased that the whole bunny girl thing didn’t end up demeaning Mai’s charact…

A victorious new spin on a distilled formula.

<b>Introduction</b> One of the things that continues to surprise me with anime is just how much content can be packed into such a short time. Many of the most memorable moments to come out of anime are not the resolutions to hundred-episode <i>shounen</i> rivalries, but short, self-contained arcs t…

The series may resonate with some and those feelings are valid, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

So...Bunny Girl. Big hit of the Fall 2018 season. You know this show. The first thing I'd like to get out of the way is the issues it attempts to tackle. Many fans of the show claim that its good because its "about social anxiety" and "tackles the hardships of adolescence". Well if you had similar…

Rascal does not dream of 5+1(questionable) SR-tier waifus (Spoilers Ahead)

The Rascal does not dream series is definitely one of the top anime of 2018, no doubt. It explores the mystery of characters experiencing their "puberty syndromes", which is a witty representation of real life issues adolescents are facing nowadays. The series is often compared to the Monogatari Ser…

Guy falls in love with a bunny girl and so did I. A story that tackles the hardships of adolescence.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai was not what anyone expected at first glance. I for one, came to see a cute girl in a bunny outfit and I am pretty sure that goes for most of us who decided to watch the show. I expected a harem, ecchi story but instead received a well written, interesting…

Fantastic show with great characters that all get screentime and its a perfect start to romance in general.(imo)

__Contains Spoilers__ This show is everything to me. It changed how I view life in general and I couldnt thank it more for taking me out of the dumps that I was when I started it. It was also my first anime so I might be biased but its honestly amazing and I would __100% recommend that everyone wat…

A heartfelt adaptation that more than does its stellar story justice.

One night, I took it on myself to do something I'd been putting off for a while due to exams and homework and just a general sense of apathy, which was to watch an anime series. The series I picked was one that many may know already from memes or screenshots or just from general reputation, but it w…

Bunny Girl Senpai is this season's sleeper hit; it's fresh characters help push an engaging coming of age story.

With a name like Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (or simply Bunny Senpai), this show from the Fall 2018 anime season doesn’t instill much confidence. First, the title’s a sentence title, and whether in Japanese or in English, it’ll take you a while to get it right when searching for it on…

A sugarcoated miracle cure for teenage social anxiety

This show uses several cheap hooks that regularly appear in garbage shows, as the sugarcoating for the actual drug. For example the MC wakes up to his sister sneaking into his bed, a classic siscon hook even with hints of incest for people into that stuff, but that's not at all what this sister char…

I don't understand the hype for this one.

Bunny Girl Senpai is full of the same issues commonly criticized in most light novel adaptations, so why does it get a free pass? Harem tropes, waifu bait, incest teasing, thin characterization, vague pseudoscience, and an ******* deadpan protagonist who solves a bunch of girls’ problems for them. M…

Some may say it's a Monogatari ripoff or a carbon copy of it, I'll explain it's not.

Story - When Sakuta finds himself an attractive former celebrity wearing in a sultry bunny girl uniform. He finds himself being involved with her and her situations. The synopsis is pretty typical for an anime however you will not find yourself bored when watching the series. The series explores a r…

luhnluhn80/100

Deceptively bland, but good depth in character and story is found beyond the simple tone and deadpan, snarky humor.

TL;DR - Despite its long, deceptively ecchi title, supernatural elements, and presence of 6 main girls ("harem!?") in the story, _Bunny Girl Senpai_ is at its very core a simple story of how high schoolers deal with societal, parental, and whatever pressures and status quos that distressingly permea…

Reviewer Does Not Care That Senpai Isn't Really A Bunny Girl (And Watches For The Literal Plot (Senpai Is Cute Though))

I finished this season in an afternoon; obviously it's great. What I love about anime is its shameless desire to "cut to the point": each arc (of a few episodes each) deals with one of the characters' internal struggles with trying to be themselves. How do we learn about this emotional turmoil? Not…

My thoughts on the series

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, quite a mouthful isn't it? I'll just refer to it as Rascal. In short, this series was very good. I can't see many places where it faults, and I can happily say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience watching this series. After finishing the series, not the mo…

The Importance of Pacing

Runners know the importance of pacing. Start out too fast they’ll see people blow by them when the finish line is coming into sight, start out too slow and they’ll be crossing that finish line staring at a dozen people who they never caught up to. While it might not be exactly the same, when it come…
