What I expected: Fan service, harem, etc What I got: Exploring depression and other issues through quantum physics

"IM A VIRGIN" Weird flex but I respect that.

Sakuta and Mai’s flirting is the most authentic feeling in all of anime in my opinion. It is so witty and cute and is what so many of us dorks want at some point. It really makes you root for them and want to see more of them in the future.

Love how chill everyone is in this anime. It actually makes the characters more realistic, instead of the usual over-the-top reactions. It's pretty refreshing.

Came for the bunny girl Stayed for the plot

Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai is a true masterpiece.

Came for Mai, Stayed for Mai, Cried for Mai- *actually i cried for everyone*

I think the reason they didn’t give them a kissing scene is to, um, show how true their love is. It shows us that their love isn’t based on sexual things but mutual understanding and _true love_ . Most shows show the characters kissing just to finalize that they’re a couple but bunny girl senpai’s director showed us that they were, like, made for each other and are willing to take sacrifices for each other. They don’t need kisses or anything of that sort to hang out. They have all the satisfaction from just looking in each other’s eyes and cherishing every moment together. Idk if u guys understand this. Pls forgive me

I really love the MC His straightforwardness, dirty mind, logic and he's a nice guy, pretty relatable

“Multiple love interests” I think you mean one love interest

Mai being put in every easily misunderstood "is he cheating on me!?" moment but being like "Ok, I am a bit jealous but I understand the situation and I support you" kind of reaction is gold.

See this anime is like: *I come to find gold but found diamond instead*

The name *"Bunny Girl Senpai"* doesn't really paint a very elegant image for a first impression of the Anime either.

Anyone else feel like the ending was a huge troll for Sakuta and Mai?

Dude when i first watched the show for mere curiosity , I wasn't expecting this. I thought it was a harem , a hentai , or something with massive ammounts of fan service. But in a day i watched the whole thing + the movie .I'm not the usual dude who likes anime that makes you 'feel' , I'm the one who sits through shonens and thats all, but after watching this , i felt like my chest was being pressured , I was nervous all along and almost cried (I'm not saying this to flex like I don't have feelings , but I don't usually cry when watching stuff). Loved it a lot , It's one of those anime that makes you feel some type of way . I will always remember it.

The only moments where I almost cry were when Kaede went back to normal cause the Kaede we all know is way more adorable in the way she talked and how she woke Sakuta up everyday and the PANDAS. The damn PANDAS.

That scene when Mai and Sakuta are laying on the floor in his living room, and they try to kiss but accidentally bump into each other is classic. The way Sakuta blames it on her looking away and the following moments feel cringy but it's so natural and it captured the awkwardness of teenage love perfectly. It felt like a real interaction and wasn't blown out of proportion.

the name and image misleads you into thinking its your usual harem,echhi low romance, anime. But if you're lured into that and thought you'd watch the first episode to see how it was like me. we were wrong by usual thought and found gold.

The protagonist is the first anime guy that actually seems like a nice, interesting and charming person. And id get why someone would like him. Most anime protagonist are so incredibly bland or 1dimensional you find it difficult to understand how anyone even notices they exist

I just realized something: The first time sakuta notices Mai is because she's in a bunny/rabbit costume That led to both of them getting closer together And without him knowing, that one library interaction would get him into more puberty syndrome incidents In other words, be literally followed the rabbit into the rabbit hole

The *atmosphere* told me to watch this video.

I actually dont skip the theme song for this amazing anime

His sense of humour is legendary

After watching the series and the movie, I can comfortably say that it is leagues above any of my other favourite animes. I have never felt so passionate and never been so emotional towards an anime like how I am with this. It is just simply amazing and will most likely always be my favourite.

I’m 2 months later but I just finished it right now. Here are my thoughts, this anime was sooooooo controversial. It is insane how they managed to do it. The anime could have ended in episode 3 and I would have been happy. But the fact they talked about mental issues and everyday problems are incredible. Super underrated anime.

The last 2 episodes deadset made me cry, dunno but i totally thought they'd just be about Mai-san and Sakuta's love escalating which did happen, but i love how they used those 2 episodes to shed light on his sister's mental health issue instead. Totally unexpected and impressed

I love that if you really think about it, while Sakuta tries so hard to portray his love for Mai, you end up seeing that Mai loves him more, as she would die for him. like *damn*

I hate when a tv show or anime that im watching and im getting attached to the characters then it ends. Like you get so interseted into it you dont even realize what episode your on until ur on the last and it ends then your sad

The best thing about this anime is the ending theme...

i came for the expected "plot" but stayed for the unexpected plot

bro the movie had me crying 5 total times I’m still depressed about makinohora and still sad about mai-San because she still died in a different time. :(

This anime really made me look at life differently.

"Sakuta, I love you." "But I love Mai."

i was honestly avoiding watching this anime because i thought it was your typical school harem anime, but now im interested. thanks bro.

I think the syndrome reacts to how a certain person is emotionally and mentally, for example, when Sakuto feels depressed or angry or confused or has deep mixed feeling, it hurt and cuts onto his heart literally like the syndrome is allowing the body to literally respond how he is feeling, because he had mixed feeling of what happened to his little sister so maybe the adolescent syndrome is based on a certain person's emotional and mental responses to an atmosphere or in this case SOCIETY around you but that's my opinion

My friends still won't believe me when I say Rascal does not dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is a deep show

Mai all the way. Can I just say I'm thoroughly impressed with this show just for doing the full monty of "Let's put these two characters together, but have their hookup be neither instantaneous nor at the END of a show"? And just the whole schtick of our dear Rascal both acknowledging attraction to the various other girls involved, (or NOT in the case of his sister) while also staying loyal emotionally to the girl he's in love with? Like. Damn. That's a feat these days.

I was surprised by how good the crowds look in this show.

The plot was deeper than any of us thought

This anime can be more relatable when you are an introvert.

"Where the protagonist has multiple love interests-" BZZZZZT! Wrong and it only took a minute. There is only one love interest, and that is Mai. This is not a harem anime.

to the point that she moved to *YOKOHAMA*

I just finished this and I felt empty but happy at the same time. It truly is a master piece.

This show is the definition of: *Came here for the nut* *Left with me full of tears*

11:00 "Senpai, I've come to bargain."

Mai is his ONLY love interest throughout the whole show.

i think KY is like “reading the room” in english

I just finished the movie and it gave me a roller coaster feelings. It is my first time saying this but I kinda think this is the best anime I ever watched. I'm totally in loved with every character and I really think it's perfect. There's a lot of things in this Anime that made me cry, laugh, thrilled, curious, angry(with the character decisions), sad and love. I'm so relieved and happy that after all that, it has a happy and satisfying ending since Makinohara, Mei and Sakuta lived. I really wish I get to see more anime like this.

This is the very definition of "Don't judge a book by it's cover." This series was unexpectedly relatable and realistic despite the supernatural aspects of it. Couple that with the relationships, the dialogue, the charming animation and expression, and just the overall plot paired with smaller arcs and you end up with a series that is absolutely brilliant! It avoids being lazy when it easily could and ends up being a deep, yet entertaining series I would wholeheartedly recommend. Well as long as you make it clear that it's not as erotic as the title might suggest.

Sakuta and Mai's flirting is not only authentic but refreshing to say the least. The characters are witty, realistic, relatable and act like normal teens, despite the fact that they're invisible to society. It's awkward, and yet sly and we see the cute and shy sides of them. As much as I idolize the generics of most anime, seeing something that I can parallel is enjoyable. Despite being animation it's just teenage life. Instead of crazy, over the top reactions to most scenarios, this is real teenage drama (albeit the whole paranormal syndrome thing). And I get to learn about Quantum Physics, with a few episodes of Dr. Stone sprinkled here and there. And thank fuck for a Male MC who actually has a brain inside his head, for being "Sharp witted, brash, and quick in a field mostly dominated by idiots and doormats" if this isn't a synopsis of most rom-com, fantasy/isekai, school/harem anime, then I dont know what is. Words cannot describe how infatuated I am with Sakuta's character. _Bruh_ it is a fucking *MIRACLE*

I just finished the anime after being hooked on it and pulling an all nighter. The amount of feelings I felt throughout the series was nothing less than an emotional roller coaster. Even though I knew that at the end of every ark, Sakuta would somehow pull through find all the clues and fix the problem but at the same time I couldn’t help but be at the edge of my seat every time a new problem aroused and become more and more engaged in the characters. It hit me hard when I finally realized what the series was about when I took a minute to reflect on everything that happened especially after losing Kaede and Shoko might’ve never existed. I couldn’t help but cry when I realized the Kaede everyone knew wasn’t coming back even though I wished and wished it was awful and made my gut churn with guilt that I didn’t see her for a real character that was part of the plot until her ark but it also made me realize that her memories are still apart of me and everyone who shared the bittersweet ending with me. I can’t help but feel like I made a connection with these characters and everyone who watched this series.

"Sakuta is one of the only charachters in anime.. or fiction. That can turn yelling 'I'M A VIRGIN' into a crowning moment of badass"

KIMI NO SEI KIMI NO SEI KIMI NO SEI

this series is like "dont judge a book by its cover"

The first episode really made me want to watch it because of how it was delivered. it was so good that I was intrigued. then the second episode gave you the taste of what is happening in the anime and how serious it could be. and the third episode was so good in terms of how Mai's case was severe that I hope it didn't end in that way.

I only started watching for the whole "Bunny Girl" thing ... you can probably imagining what I was expecting but I ended up getting incredibly invested in the plot and now I love it despite my expectations

"Read the room." Would be the closest to it in English.

this literally took me five episodes to realize that Puberty Syndrome was the main reason for the random things that happened with the main characters. Before then I was so damn confused lol, great anime tho :)

Honestly i have nothing but respect for anime and anime writers. They show these messages in some of the most beautiful ways and it's truly interesting and even encouraging to hear about these deeper stories. I think i'm gonna go and watch this anime for myself because you just put me on it XD But seriously thank you for this amazingly inciting video.

This show is extremely stressful to watch. The writing is phenomenal.

The dialogue in this anime is so witty, love it

Best part is “Quantum physics even gorillas can understand”

Mai: *Literally Dies* Me: *Cries for 4 weeks straight*

Today we learned Geoff has never heard the phrase "dude, read the room"

"But it's also a series written by Hajime Kamoshida,the mind behind behind The Pet girl of Sakurasou-" Say no more. *I'm in.*

You explained the brilliance of this anime in a really great way. It's sad that some people may not see the message behind the scenes of this it

I am so happy you used the PL Puzzle theme in the background :)

*YOKOHAMA*

I mean, shes hot. Shes a best girl. Shes Beautiful. She has the best attitude you could ever ask for. *WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR!?*

What I thought I would get: bunny girls What I really got: depression, change in the way I see life, and big thinking that make my head hurt

This is an anime that when I think about I just get sad and feel like I missed something and want to rewatch it.

A lot of the best shows this year are shows no one expected much from. Bunny Girl Senpai sounded dumb before it came out, but once it aired, it drew a lot of comparisons to Haruhi, Kokoro Connect, and Monogatari. A Place Further than the Universe was treated like the extreme of cute girl shows for its premise, but in spending the entire show setting it up and taking it seriously, it became the best show of the year. Hinamatsuri, like other found-family shows, had to deal with the spectre of Bunny Drop that prompts viewers to avoid the genre until they get confirmation that a show doesn't switch to raise-your-own-wife, and it was hilarious and heartbreaking. It's a trend.

This is one of the best romcom-slice of life anime i have ever seen. The way it manages to create a building chemistry between the love interest while being able to talk about important issues of highschool students is amazing

Honestly I thought this was gonna be another fan service type anime. Boy, was I wrong. This is one of the best animes with a great story I've ever seen.

Im literally gonna start a business and get rich and try my hardest to calab and pay for another season

Teen depression: anime version.

Actual good plot with legit dialogue and spot on pacing is what this anime is to me

Just finished watching it and there was something about it that felt so much more different than other animes I've watched. Watching you video made me understand that it's actually the shows realitical manner of telling the story that makes it different and I love it.

POV: You watched season 1 and the movie in a day and now you're depressed and don't know what to watch

Super underrated series. It's soooooo good!

I'm getting Professor Layton vibes from the first music loop. Affirm me.

I was hooked with episode 1 binge watched all 13 episode, found the movie and watched that too. I cried as well, it's an amazing series!!

I must say that this is the first anime that compelled me to cry. Thinking about Sakuta that how he must had felt when he realized that the last two years he spent with his sister were wiped out of her memory but no matter what he will still cherish those memories of her. Kinda felt bad for him. But nevertheless, the ending was pretty good.

Mai Sakurajima and Sakuta. Perfect.

Finally, someone who doesn't compare Monogatari to Bunny girl senpai. Great content.

I watched this a while ago in the background, but Idk why the expectation just stayed, I finally decided to watch it and OHHH MAN it's great

Who else just keeps watching this series over and over again because its so amazing.

From a writing perspective, i think the guy’s better off sticking with mai. We don’t need a harem plot to muddy the water and i think the writer knows this, hence the very direct rejection of koga’s confession without any further setups. Koga coming out with her feelings, as well as facing rejection and the awkwardness that comes with it, is her entire character arc, and a well executed one at that. Plus, sakuta’s straightforwardness and emotional independence is shown well through his rejection of koga and devotion towards mai. Him not doing the “O the choices” thing is a breath of fresh air. I hope the show doesn’t diminish its writing merits for what’s essentially fan service.

The concept of KY must be a nightmare for anyone with any degree of autism.

Just finished the series and looking to watch the movie. I loved this series as an 18-yr-old myself because it made legit problems that modern youth experience feel like actual, physical problems that need to be addressed. It doesn't belittle those who are going through issues. It, in a fun and balanced way, shows through realism and supernatural ways what these issues feel like and what they actually do to people. Like Kaede develops Dissociative Personality Disorder as a result of being bullied so harshly. As someone who has friends who've developed mental disorders because of bullying, her arc really hit home with me. Between wanting to be a good big brother and wanting to help those going through tough times, this show has very relatable characters. They aren't perfect but they're treated as young adults still growing and finding their way in life. The series also brought me to tears a couple times. I also love how Mai and Sakuta have a healthy relationship as opposed to Yunna's. On paper, it feels like a weird harem romcom but in actuality, Bunny Girl Senpai is a series that executes what it feels like to be a struggling youth in the modern era to a near perfect degree. It's beautiful and enthralling while fantastical and whimsical in metaphorical ways.

Deadass woke up early Sunday morning to check my IG to end up finding a funny clip of the Anime and quickly found out the name in the comments. Did some quick research and got interested. I just binge watched the entire season 1 and movie in a day lmao. Hoping for a Season 2 cause these feels bro😭

Binged this entire show in one night yesterday, and hooooooooooly crap was this ever an incredibly amazing show. My favorite anime ever has been Love, Chuunibyou and Other Delusions, so this was *right* up my sleeve. Great video!

I can't wait for the next video on *JUNE 27th* *JUNE 27th* *JUNE 27th*

Also, nice use of the Mob Psycho 100 background music during the part of the video where you talk about "reading the room" (5:01) EDIT: Well, you brought it up first haha!

This is very well written. I love that the main character is a good dude and actually jokes about shit we guys joke about. Hes not a selfish pig or a jackass. Not alot of main characters are built like this. He feels like hes around and involved vs "plot armor Mc". I love how much he wants to constantly tell mai he loves her and even though its cheesy in a sense in some areas, Its still feels believable and genuine. I rooted for him the whole way as his personally and humor matches my own. Mai stepping on his foot is super cute btw. I love how much they play around with each other and trust each other. Great show overall and a refreshing take on the genre.

Wouldn't the saying, "read the room" be the same as that KY thing? That'd be the "American" equivalent, right?

Red frame at 11:25. Nothing more to say about that. Just a red frame. Continue on

Thank you for making this video, with out it I would have never given the show a chance. hear I am 6 or 7 hours later after watching the video initially crying my heart out over this anime.

started watching the series and the movie and thot that I would leave with depression but after the movie in the last 5min I was so happy that I cried
