9. Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (After the Rain)

[sourceLink asin="B07913DCW4" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" January 2018– March 2018 " post_id=""]

Akira Tachibana was formerly a track star of her high school’s team before suffering from a leg injury which hindered her chances of continuing. Now Akira spends her time listlessly attending high school, while ignoring advances from interested boys, and going to her part time job where she harbors a secret crush for her manager, 45-year-old Masami Kondou a kind divorced man who is none the wiser to her affection. Yet despite the huge gap in age, will Akira work up the courage to confess and how will Masami react? After the rain is a romance anime that examines the circumstances of how we fall in love and who we fall in love with. The anime seeks to espouse a sense of realism in matches that we deem to be unhealthy, or illogical. It should be noted that while the anime certainly has its light-hearted elements, it does cover mature themes in it’s plot so may not be the go-to for those who want a traditional school romance story. Regardless, the animation is quite pretty, and the plot is intriguing enough to earn it a place on this list.

8. Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai (Tada Never Falls in Love)

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="B07BY674R6" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" April 2018 – June 2018 " post_id=""]

7. Sukitte Ii na yo. (Say “I love you”)

[sourceLink asin="B00EZ227X2" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" October 2012– December 2012 " post_id=""]

Mei Tachibana, having felt the sting of betrayal and distrust from her friends in grade school, has since preferred the company of herself to avoid the same kind of hurt. Yet circumstance brings her to bump into Yamato Kurosawa, a professional model and one of the most popular boys in her school. Adverse to wanting to get to know him, a situation thrusts them together where they become closer than she would have liked. Yet overtime and through struggles to communicate and deal with new friends she never asked for, Mei uncovers feelings for Yamato she did not previously have, and Yamato tries to convey his feelings for Mei. A classic school romance tale of outcast girl meets popular boy. This anime deals with what happens when one or both parties are not yet ready to pursue their feelings at full force all the while dealing with the unwanted attention or teasing from their classmates. This is a great anime for those who enjoy a social outcast story.

6. Orange

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="B01HNOSG92" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" July 2016 – September 2016 " post_id=""]

Sophomore high school student, Naho Takamiya has a bit of an odd start to the school year when she receives a mysterious letter that appears to come from herself, 10 years into the future, when she is 26 years old. Naho is skeptical as any rational person would be when receiving such a letter, however when events detailed in the letter begin to unfold in her life, she slowly becomes convinced. Yet the letters do not only focus on her but on a new student named Kakeru Naruse whom Naho is asked by her future self to keep watch over. Will Naho’s life change for the better by following the letters or will she come to regret her choices the same as her future self. Orange is a school romance and drama anime that tackles sensitive subject matters of depression and regret. Given the anime has letters traveling in time, some may argue it is a fantasy or sci-fi anime, however these elements are non-existent outside of the writing of letters. We do not often see depression or mental illness alluded to in school romance anime for one reason or another, however Orange does a good job with incorporating all the necessary tools to balance those themes with the romance. If you are looking for something more serious this is for you.

5. Just Because!

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="GNBA-2681" text="" url="" ]

It is at his new high school that Eita will reconnect with friends from his past, like Haruto Souma a friend he used to play with on the baseball team. As well as Hazuki Morikawa, a band member, and Mio Natsume, someone who may still hold a candle for Eita. During a time where students are deciding their future, how will this familiar face’s sudden arrival impact their lives, what feelings will be rekindled? Just Because! makes another fine addition to the school romance anime list. It picks up during a tumultuous time for the characters, right as we are between significant stages of our young adult lives. In that regard, there is a great sense of playing catch up with relationships in this anim. It may have the audience and characters worried at first, whether there is enough time for the romance to head in any satisfying direction. This is perhaps what distinguishes this anime from others on the list in how effective it handles the continuation or end of relationships past high school.

4. Tsurezure Children

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="http://www.crunchyroll.com/tsuredure-children" ]

[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" July 2017 – September 2017 " post_id=""]

Each episode is spent focusing on different pairs of couples at different stages in their relationship and brings a fresh humour to the genre. Worth the watch if you are tired of anime where you have to wait 12 episodes for any serious development with little jokes in between.

3. Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride)

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="sentai" url="" ]

In middle school, Futaba Yoshioka was the envy of her female classmates and the centre of affection of the boys due to her cute nature. She had not taken notice of any boys, not until one rainy day after seeking shelter from the downpour, she found herself standing with a classmate named Kou Tanaka under some cover. Kou was a soft-spoken boy. Futaba found herself taking interest in Kou and intended to invite him to the summer festival before a misunderstanding was formed that drove Kou away never to be seen again.

2. Tsuki ga Kirei

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="VTZF-69" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" April 2017 – June 2017 " post_id=""]

Middle school student and aspiring writer Kotarou Azumi begins his last year of middle school alongside new classmates including Akane Mizuno, a member of the school’s track team. Over the period of the year and various chance encounters and circumstance, a mutual affection begins to flutter between the two yet both struggle with overcoming their own fears and anxiety of one another’s thoughts to act on their true feelings. Will they be able to overcome their biggest obstacle, themselves, and find happiness or will their paths diverge at graduation? From the studio that brought you My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU! and Hinamatsuri comes a lower key school romance anime. As per the summary, Tsuki ga Kirei is focused on the budding relationship between a boy and girl in middle school. This anime does a very good job grounding the romantic themes to feel not so much like a viewer watching a fantasy version of romance but an actual relationship between two young people with all the awkward pauses, anxiety, and small triumphs that come with it. This is an anime for anyone who needs to relax and immerse themselves in a good story.

1. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April)

[sourceLink asin="B01M6Y7YN4" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 22 " aired=" October 2014 – March 2015 " post_id=""]

Kousei Arima was a piano prodigy when he was younger, though he was viewed as being like a metronome in his robotic but perfect reproduction of classical music. One day, while at the top of his game, his world came crashing following the death of his mother. Finding himself no longer able to hear his own notes, he quit performing in competitions. Years passed, Kousei remains in the same rut he was before, unable to hear his own music. He coasts through a bland a life with his friends until he encounters the effervescent Kaori Miyazono, a beautiful violinist who might just change his outlook on life and help his music. It would not do justice to leave Your Lie in April off a list of school romance anime. This heartfelt, and at times heartbreaking, tale shows the beauty in the world that we can only find in relationships that point it out to us. This anime does a great job at highlighting the importance of mutual support and kinship in relationships and the difference that can make. On top of the story this anime brings stunning visuals and a fantastic soundtrack to add to your classical music playlist.

[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" Oct 2004 - Mar 2005 "]

High School delinquent Harima Kenji is in love with fellow classmate Tsukamoto Tenma. There's only one problem... Tenma is in love with fellow classmate Karasuma Ooji. This romance comedy is sure to give you a laugh or two as the different parties try their best (often failing) to win the hearts of their crush. School rumble emphasizes more on the comic effect that arises due to the frustration of failing to get the crush to notice them. Originally starting of as a comedy show, the story eventually progresses and ends up as a heartwarming tale. Never losing its sights on the romance and comedy tag. School Rumble is a good balance of romance and comedy.

9. Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou

[sourceLink asin="B00008G6GJ" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" Oct 1998 - Mar 1999 "]

Miyazawa Yukino's social standing was threatened by a new-comer. Arima Soichiro seemed to be better in everything - grades, looks, humble and likeable. She is not pleased with her new position as number 2 as she was used to getting all the praises and respect of her fellow classmates. How will jealousy and envy transform into love as the both of them adapt to his and her circumstances. Besides all of the issues apart, the story is a well-balanced tale of how two seemingly competing individuals eventually get together in a school setting. No doubt old, it can be considered a classic of a romance and slice of life anime.

8. Kokoro Connect

[sourceLink asin="B008KJJNBU" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" Jul 2012 - Sep 2012 "]

Odd things are happening to members of the Cultural Research Club. Without any explanation, a supernatural occurrence caused all 5 members to switch bodies at random times. While it starts off as bewilderment, all 5 members will soon learn the deep dark secrets that each individual hold as they live through the personal lives of the body of the person they switched with. Can they accept the harsh reality and maintain their relationship as friends? Even more so, will some of them accept the feelings of the other party, especially if it was not meant to be known yet. Kokoro Connect had an interesting premise. No longer will characters observe the world from their standpoint. As different aspects of their lives are modified and changed. They will have to live the lives of others both at school and at home. While many would presume that it is a strong intrusion of privacy, the show did great in portraying romance as different characters come to terms with the dark past and traits of their crush. Who though? We are not here to spoil any plot though!

7. Kimi ni Todoke

[sourceLink asin="B00I5UXAC2" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 25 " aired=" Oct 2009 - Mar 2010 "]

Poor Kuronuma Sawako is just a misunderstood girl at school. Her niceness and quiet demeanour is often misinterpreted as being awfully similar to the ghost character of hit horror movie, The Ring. Having the same long straight black hair of Sadako, the main antagonist is more than enough to send everyone running away in fear. Luckily for her, she happens to meet the popular Kazehaya Shouta. Will this be a new chapter in her life? Kimi ni Todoke is actually a very simple but yet beautiful tale of school romance. Even though Sawako is isolated for most of her life, she maintains a sweet and innocent personality. It makes you happy to see her getting along with Kazehaya at school and in the classroom. This is a classic romance anime that is adapted from a hit manga and for good reasons too!

6. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

[sourceLink asin="B00AO16IQU" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" Oct 2012 - Dec2012 "]

Shizuku is only interested in scoring the best in any exams. Focused only in her studies at school, how can someone who was nicknamed "Dry Ice" ever find romance? Enter Haru, gentle and caring on one side but an uncontrollable monster at the other. These two social misfits seems like a very bad equation for love but hey, love is blind. While the romance element takes a while to emerge in the series, it is worth the wait. Both characters are odd in their own way and there may even be times in which you will feel that there is no progress at all. Opposites do attract however, and there will definitely be romance in the classroom!

5. Amagami SS

[sourceLink asin="B00AO05AVU" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 25 " aired=" Jul 2010 to Dec 2010 "]

After being stood up at a date during Christmas Eve, our main character Junichi Tachibana's heart was left in pieces. Jaded on the concept of love, he keeps it to himself most of the time and spends most of his time with his close friends. The story will branch out depending on the arc of the heroine and he will find love once again. This time however, it remains true. Presented in different arcs, each exploring the routes of the different heroines, Amagami SS shows the start and end of every romantic interest of the different girls. All occurring in the school setting, but the anime shows how a different personality can change the view of the main character. What is particular good is the variety of main heroines such that it will be easier for you to pick a new waifu!

1. Clannad

[sourceLink asin="B003E51VUQ" asin_jp="" text="" url="" ]

[Information episodes=" 23 " aired=" Oct 2007 - Mar 2008 "]

It was a chance encounter, but one that will change the lives of both Okazaki Tomoya and Furukawa Nagisa. While going up the slope towards his school, Tomoya met the sickly and frail Nagisa. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was purely coincidental or it could even be the inherent goodness in Tomoya. Regardless, he took it upon himself to be Nagisa's friend and helped her adapt into high school life. The events that follow can only be surmised as an exemplary form of love and gives meaning to what it truly means to give your all to that special somebody. If anything, Clannad is known throughout the industry, is for its emotional conclusion and stunning animations at its time, it can be said to be Key's best work of art. Generally well received, most will say that it is a tearjerker and an anime that even holds the potential to change the world for you. It is subjective, but it is definitely a masterfully crafted story and perhaps even the quintessence of a romance anime. It goes without saying that we rank it at Number 1.

Brand New World, Same Old Kirito

Sword Art Online: Alicization Introduction and Story

Kirito and his friends are back once again for another dive into the virtual gaming world! This time, Kirito is helping with a project known as Alicization, testing the limits of the human soul. When an accident causes Kirito’s brain to sustain serious damage, he vanishes from the hospital, sending Asuna Yuuki and his other friends on a search that will lead them halfway across the world. In the meantime, Kirito wakes up in the virtual world he has been working in, unable to return to reality. He soon finds himself on a quest with his new friend Eugeo, to retrieve an old friend of theirs from a mysterious fate…

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/sword-art-online" ]

1. Animation Quality

Once again, A-1 Pictures has done a great job with the Sword Art series, getting consecutively better with each arc they work on. The characters are crisply drawn and their movements are fluid, making them realistic despite many of them being nothing more than virtual characters! The virtual world that Kirito and Eugeo travel in is beautiful, with the background scenery done far better than any other in the Sword Art franchise. While there is a certain episode including more graphic content than any of the past arcs, the rest of the action scenes are executed perfectly, bringing back the updated style we saw displayed in Ordinal Scale.

2. The Music is a Perfect Accent to the Action

Sword Art Online has been consistently good in the music department, and the Alicization arc is no different! The music coincides with whatever is happening in the anime and adds tension, despair, or sadness when it needs to. The same themes from the older arcs come back into play here and there, reminding the viewer of the good moments in Sword Art. And with LiSA’s opening and ending themes once again capturing the feeling of the anime perfectly, the Alicization arc is a delight for your ears throughout each episode!

3. Promising Setting

You may have thought we’d seen it all when it comes to virtual settings in Sword Art Online, but the world that Kirito and Eugeo find themselves in is actually unique enough to be interesting. Most of the characters in this world are AI souls, grown in the world until they developed into their own little civilization. The arc is moving in a direction of discussing not only morality through the eyes of these new people, but also the idea of creating life and playing god. As we learn more about how the world works in the new virtual game, we are all the more interested in its history!

1. It’s the Same Story - Again

Sword Art Online is plagued by its original Aincrad arc, so that even when the story seems to have brand new ideas, they are really just a copy of the same story. Kirito wins every fight he participates in, being just as overpowered as usual. Alice, who seems as if she could be a really interesting and strong female character, is merely the damsel in distress and device for Eugeo to start his journey, much like Asuna became as the first arc ended. We are interested in this brave new world Kirito has found—but not if it is going to be exactly like all the other Sword Art story plots.

2. No Real Character Development

You would think with how long some of these characters have been around that they would finally learn something or grow—but you would be wrong. Kirito is the same bland protagonist who wins at everything he does and preaches his heroic ideals to others. Meanwhile, Asuna and the other characters from Kirito’s earlier adventures merely serve as the background exposition so that viewers will know what is going on. The only character who has any real change is Eugeo, who manages to overcome his programmed thoughts to fight for justice; yet even then, he seems to go right back to how he was before, letting Kirito take the lead yet again.

3. Slow and Lengthy Exposition

While there are parts of the Sword Art series that could have done with more explanation, the Alicization arc has more than enough exposition for all of them! The moments where Asuna is learning about the project seem to drag on. This arc has a few interesting parts, but everything seems slow and weighed down by the overall pacing. Despite skipping over most of Eugeo and Kirito’s journey to the capital, everything about the anime seems to have slowed down considerably, even the characters’ urgency to complete their quest.

Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="VVCL-1354" text="" url="" ]

The first cours of Sword Art Online: Alicization is probably the best of the series in visual and musical terms. The story starts out interesting enough, but the characters never change and neither does the plot, making this just another anime in which we see Kirito win all his battles. We hope that the second cours will improve upon these issues. What did you think of Sword Art Online: Alicization? Let us know in the comments!

4. Melone

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="B00BZ142M0" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

Minor villains from Vento Aureo aren’t safe from horrible fashion choices either, and La Squadra Esecuzioni gets the worst of it. And, even among such illustrious company, Melone’s cutout jumpsuit and mask combo stands out as particularly baffling. The otherwise interesting circle-patterned fabric is cut in such a way to expose random squared-off chunks of the right side of his chest, and his mask covers one of his eyes for no real reason. Oddly, he can still see through the fabric just fine. Instead of the spy catsuit look that Melone was probably going for, this turned out to be a mess.

3. Vanilla Ice

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="B00BY0N0RK" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ]

Stardust Crusaders takes place in the ‘80s, but most of the character designs are timeless enough to be from any decade. Sadly, though, Vanilla Ice looks just as dated and tacky as his musical namesake. Dio’s most trusted subordinate pairs his glam rock hair with loud purple jewelry and an unfortunate leather jacket straight out of an ‘80s action film. He tops this outfit off with a dangerously high-cut thong in place of any other legwear. If Iggy and Avdol had to suffer, couldn’t they have been attacked by someone with just a bit more class?

Final Thoughts

3. Shimada Mayu aka Mayushi

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="B01M0GVG8P" text="" url="" ]

Mayushi ends up being one of the most ambitious members of WUG despite her initial refusal to join the group. By Shin Shou, she is happily and totally dedicated to helping WUG reach I-1 levels of fame. Because of her previous experience in a top ranking idol group, she knows just how much effort it takes to rise to the top and how little it takes to plummet you back to the bottom. When the president of Green Leaves demands the girls get outside work in order to further promote WUG, Mayushi does her best to meet all the expectations pushed on her. She has by far the busiest schedule of the members but never loses her positive attitude or determination to help out around the house. She would never put someone else down to benefit herself, but she pushes herself to the max both physically and mentally because her goals are so important to her. It’s not enough to simply do something well, she also wants to rise above expectations. When she thinks a suggestion may help the script she’s working on, she boldly brings it up to the writer and director.

1. Tange Junko aka Shachou (President)

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/wake-up-girls/episode-2-this-is-our-home-749727" ]

As the president of Green Leaves, it’s no wonder Shachou is ambitious. Surely she couldn’t run a successful talent agency without grit, resolve, and connections which she has in excess. She often asks too much from those around her be it patience or super-human acts, but she also will do anything in her power to make WUG successful without totally destroying the girls. While she seems mostly to fork over the difficult things to manager Kouhei but she’s willing to make sacrifices as well. At one point she proudly proclaims that ‘if you shook my wallet upside down, nothing would come out!’ after pouring all of her money into advertising for WUG’s tour. She’s not above manipulating people to do favors for her if it will benefit her company or her girls. While she sometimes has questionable intentions, it’s clear she’s definitely someone you want on your side.

A Goblin Slaying Time

Goblin Slayer Introduction

Anticipating a grand adventure on her first mission, a new priestess joins a rookie team to defeat a lower level enemy, goblins. Unfortunately, what should have been an easy mission turns horrifying when the goblins ambush the rookies and leave the team all for dead. Thinking the end is nigh, the priestess is luckily saved by a mysterious knight. Known simply as the Goblin Slayer, this man clad in armor is known for only one thing: killing goblins to rid the world of every last one of the beings. Now teamed up, these two adventures will begin a journey that will both bring them closer and equally test their resolves.

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/goblin-slayer" ]

1. Goblin Slayer’s Main Character

Aside from the fact that the show—Goblin Slayer—also matches the main character’s name, Goblin Slayer himself is truly a beast of an MC. Not only does the goblin eccentric killing machine just focus on the task at hand, but he does so while never showing any sign of weakness. While the mask on Goblin Slayer’s face does make one wonder if he is grimacing during the tougher moments, it equally gives him the absolute perfect level of mysteriousness. No wonder why several of the main girls in Goblin Slayer love the dude so much. We love Goblin Slayer ourselves just because he’s just so darn strong!

2. Simple but effective characters

With names like Priestess, Elf, Lizardman and Goblin Slayer, you’d almost worry that Goblin Slayer’s cast of heroes and characters would be very one dimensional. Luckily, Goblin Slayer’s arsenal of warriors is fleshed out over the course of 12-episodes quite nicely. You come to learn Goblin Slayer’s dark past and feel for the warrior clad in armor, the same for Priestess who was initially so innocent but became stronger as she was put through numerous trials alongside Goblin Slayer. Nevertheless, these simply named heroes and heroines truly are deeper than they seem and while we don’t get full back stories on each—though we can assume the future seasons will do that for them—we get just enough to be satisfied with them.

3. Dark fantasy done well

We can’t lie and say Goblin Slayer nails the dark fantasy genre—that title goes to Berserk in our minds—but we can say without a doubt that it does just enough to do the genre justice. At times, Goblin Slayer doesn’t hold back with some rather R rated content but it doesn’t constantly slam you with unnecessary violence or nudity either. It melds just enough regular fantasy and dark fantasy to keep fans of both genres happy. The first episode alone shows the darker moments of what to expect with Goblin Slayer and the episode following dims down the darkness with a more laid-back episode. We do hope season 2—whenever it airs—is a bit darker in tone, but season 1 was perfectly fine and that’s all that matters for now.

1. Speaking of violence…

Goblin Slayer isn’t for the faint of heart readers. At times, there are some truly dark moments with rape, sodomy and sexual assault sewn into the narrative. If you watched the series on Crunchyroll, you probably saw the warning of adult-like content that wouldn’t be suitable to all ages and that wasn’t a warning to skip over. We met numerous anime viewers who were appalled by episode one of Goblin Slayer and we understand that for some, this kind of content might bring back repressed memories/experiences. If you aren’t into very mature content, you might want to skip on Goblin Slayer.

2. Not White Fox’s best animation

Goblin Slayer isn’t a bad looking anime, let’s make that clear first. Though, we have seen a lot better from studio White Fox and that’s why we know some won’t particularly care about Goblin Slayer’s animation style. While there are a lot of truly well animated sequences with some stellar fights—especially against the hobgoblin—Goblin Slayer tends to look pretty average at best. We also noticed a lot of strange CGI moments involving the main character himself which threw us off against the usually solid backdrops. If you’re critical of animation—which we try not to be—then you might find some weakness in Goblin Slayer as a whole.

3. Needed more episodes

We know it’s not an easy feat to animated any series in this current generation. Most studios have to take on several series at the same time and divvy up their teams into smaller units to handle the workload. Unfortunately, that means most series get delegated to only 12 or so episodes and we feel that does ruin Goblin Slayer a bit. With the light novels already at 8 volumes—as of writing this review—Goblin Slayer has a bit of story it could still go into. Yet, we now have to wait for a hopeful season 2—even though we did get an ending card saying Goblin Slayer would return—to release sometime in the near future. That just means now we have to wait…and waiting kind of stinks when it comes to anime with uncertain futures.

Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="http://www.crunchyroll.com/goblin-slayer/episode-7-onward-unto-death-778473" ]

Goblin Slayer isn’t a complicated dark fantasy series and it truly isn’t the best we’ve ever seen. Despite all that, Goblin Slayer still has a lot more going for it positively than negatively due to its wicked main character, the cool fights that take place in the series and the overall feeling it invokes while watching. We are so happy a possible sequel of Goblin Slayer might be released in the near future, but for now, we are fine soaking in what we witnessed from its 12-episode run.

Youth can be quite strange

Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai Introduction

Sakuta Azusagawa is a second-year student in high school who finds himself seeing a rather strange sight one day at the local library. Dressed in a bunny girl outfit is a young woman who seems to be invisible to all patrons aside from Sakuta. Quickly, Sakuta realizes that this young girl is dealing with a strange affliction called Puberty Syndrome which affects each person quite differently. Sakuta will need to help this bunny dressed girl—who later reveals herself to be Mai Sakurajima—and remove her problem before she fades from existence. However, little does Sakuta realize that this is only the beginning of his battle with those afflicted with Puberty Syndrome.

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/rascal-does-not-dream-of-bunny-girl-senpai" ]

1. A rather unorthodox romance comedy

The beauty of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai is that unlike most romance comedies in the world of anime, this one uses a rather peculiar method of delivery that works quite well. Thanks to the supernatural element from the Puberty Syndrome, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai delivers nice amounts of drama with a good blend of romance and comedy in spades. Mai and Sakuta’s relationship as it develops is constantly tested due to various incidents that seem to form around our main man. Equally, comedy ensues often due to misunderstandings and just random moments like when Sakuta re-meets his old crush but now in a middle schooler’s body. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai is funny, dramatic and romantic, and that makes it a rollercoaster of a show.

2. Each arc is quite impressive

The light novel versions of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai has each volume following a new Puberty Syndrome incident for Sakuta to rectify. In the anime adaptation, several episodes focus on each incident and we can honestly say that there was never an arc we truly didn’t enjoy. While some arcs—such as Mai and Rio Futaba’s arcs—were stronger than others—namely Nodoka Toyohama’s arc—even the weaker arcs still provided some entertainment that kept us intrigued from start to finish. This is helped by the strong writing of the series that gives each character a fleshed-out story and makes them appeal to audiences from both a sympathetic and or empathic perspective. Mai for example fears being forgotten by others and that is a feeling many of us in the world can truly relate to. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai does an excellent job with each arc and ultimately makes the narrative flow smoothly despite only several episodes focused on each arc.

3. Mai and Sakuta

Easily one of the best elements of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai comes in the form of the two main characters, Sakuta and Mai. We loved watching their relationship blossom in Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai and truly felt the love these two characters had. As stated above, Sakuta’s involvement in various Puberty Syndrome cases drama to befall the two in various forms but even through those problems, both Mai and Sakuta continued to stay close and persevere. Most romance anime live or die off their main characters and how their relationship is handled. Luckily, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai does a phenomenal job with our two love birds and it’s why we loved watching them get closer each week.

1. Arc based shows aren’t for everyone

Many anime fans will say that arc-based series can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, you get to see stories that change and evolve with each passing arc but on the other hand, you tend to have characters fade away as their time to shine fades away. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai doesn’t avoid this issue as each arc gives us a lot on one girl but when their arc ends, they tend to become lesser characters again. Mai and Futaba escape this fate as they stay in the limelight but girls like Tomoe Koga and Nodoka Toyohama end up becoming more like secondary characters. It’s a shame as both girls are pretty strong characters when they do have arcs devoted to them but once their stories are done, we see them only in passing moments. If you end up growing attached to either girl, you might find Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai to be kind of cruel to your waifu.

2. The ending

The ending of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai is where we are very mixed emotionally here at Honey’s Anime. While Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai ends on a cute note—and there is a planned movie to be aired in 2019—it equally feels unfinished. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai seems to be very reliant on the planned movie but a series shouldn’t rely on a movie to make for a nice conclusion. In our minds, we could have seen Mai and Sakuta kiss—which they technically don’t do—and then from there, had signs of more to come. Unfortunately, we get a kiss on the cheek and then a cute couple of scenes which end Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai on a meh note. Is this a reason to skip out on Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai? Well, if you don’t like series that need a movie to conclude them, then yes, we say you might want to skip Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai. However, if you can wait for the Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai movie we honestly feel the ending is just more of an annoyance than a reason to hate on the show.

Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/rascal-does-not-dream-of-bunny-girl-senpai/episode-3-the-world-without-you-777580" ]

Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai was a series we found little wrong with. Each episode and each arc brought us tons of enjoyment and even made our emotions shine as various characters were tested in some rather realistic ways. Despite the fictional theme of Puberty Syndrome, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai does a great job of almost making these weird incidents seem more like teaching methods for life and that was a surprise indeed. We honestly loved Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai but did you? Let us know your thoughts about Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai in the comments below and be sure to sound off on some of your favorite moments from the series.

• Following a record-setting opening and huge box office over the MLK holiday weekend, Funimation Films, the theatrical division of Sony Pictures Television’s Funimation, reported today that the cumulative box office for “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” now totals $24M+ as the movie begins the second full week of its theatrical release. After eclipsing all previous records set by 2015’s “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” in less than two days, “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” has catapulted into the top 3 highest grossing anime films of all time in the U.S. “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” will continue its run in theaters across the U.S. and Canada.
• Based on the original story, screenplay and character designs of creator Akira Toriyama, “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” follows the events of the hit anime series “Dragon Ball Super,” the first new Dragon Ball storyline from Toriyama in more than 18 years. Since premiering in summer 2015, “Dragon Ball Super” has propelled the popularity of the franchise globally – with both lifelong fans and a whole new generation of children and teens.
