Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

Trust me, there is no minute in this anime will make you feel bored. The characters were likeable, there were a heartbreaking moments, the script was fantastic.it's a story for the people that you care about and love, with some science fiction, you have to check it out.

At first glance a fun anime, lightly leading to such a troubled adolescence phase. However, looking deeper into the showing situations, using fantasy, reports the reflected feeling of the adolescent, between personality changes and personal rejections, suggest ways to stay healthy in such a complicated phase. Apart from the utterly relevant subject, it also has very well defined features in the forms of beautiful characters. A great anime.

I started watching this series thinking that it'll be rom com anime but it is much more than that. We might feel really weird watching this because our logic won't be able to keep up with it but as it progresses we can understand the message the series is trying to convey. It deals with high school bullying and the herd mentality of people. The story is about a high school boy Sakuta who falls in love with a senior girl Mai. Soon Sakuta finds that Mai is also going through the conditions that he once went through. So he decides to help her and they develop strong feelings for each other while dealing their problems together.

Overall it is a good series to watch, but remember that this is not a science fiction(though may feel like one). So enjoy watching it with a open heart and mind.

And you thought it's something degenerate.

This is the review of both the anime series and movie.

A naughty title serves as a disguise of a sci-fi yet sad look at ages of growing teens. As part of Erikson's stage of development, Identity vs Role confusion is where teenagers struggle to find out who they are and accept their characteristics. The use of quantum physics and relativity principles were brilliant and reflected the common insecurities that many had to face. Although there is romcom and romance, both the series and movie required audience to figure out the phenomena and then think about the consequences of these insecurities. This led to the main theme of the series, which is to recognize one's own emotions and insecurities and accept them in order to move forward.

The movie did not follow this theme as much, but instead aimed for more drama and emotions using its complicated time travel plot. It took me quite a bit to figure out, but still it was an emotional ride with shocking twists that hit me like a minivan.

The animation was just beautiful. The characters looked great, especially their eyes. Also, the drawings of the surroundings and the ocean scenes were breathtaking.

The interaction between characters were oddly hilarious. The way they talked to each other nonchalantly with innuendos got me cracked up (step on my foot please bunny senpai). The romance between the rascal and the senpai was not overwhelming, but subtle and sweet. The movie served to solidify their strong romance.

Overall, a surprisingly fascinating and emotional anime. Series 8.5/10. Movie 8/10.

At the start you might feel confused because the writer has a weird way of introducing things but as you progressed and get comfortable with the idea of "Puberty Syndrome" Things starts to get really interesting. This anime has a very interesting turn off events to say the least. It is makes you laugh at the beginning and leaves you crying at the end.
