Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai

Bakemonogatari addpermalink

Bunny Girl is basically a less verbose version of Bakemonogatari, complete with the anthology setup of the main guy, who comes off as a sarcastic prick but is secretly super nice, helps the waifu of the week come to terms with her social anxieties and hangups that supernaturally manifest in very literal ways. The snappy dialogue and instant chemistry between the leads makes both shows a very fun watch, but Bunny Girl is much more accessible.

Bunny Girl Senpai is to Bakemonogatari what cold pizza is to pizza. While being a lot less verbose it explores the same kind of narative. 

report Recommended by Mike98

-Female lead with a sharp tongue.
-Male Lead seems like a normal guy but is secretly quite weird himself and also quite special.
-Both deal with anomalies in an otherwise normal world. Puberty Syndrome in Seibu, oddities in Monogatari.
-Number of other girls appear but the main relationship is straightforward and doesn't get derailed.
-Very fun to watch, good anime.

"Aobuta" shares many similarities with the Monogatari Series.
The story is about a high school boy meeting different girls with supernatural phenomenon and helping them solve their problems.
The main character seems unsocial and his classmates always misunderstand him. But actually he is a straightforward boy, and willing to help people around him.
The heroine is a pretty and cool girl with long black hair. She has a bit of sadism and sharp tougue, and often plays tricks on the main character.

Very similar in terms of plot and characters. The main guy helps other girls who suffer from a supernatural phenomenon and of course, some of them fall in love with him. The main couples are also very similar in both shows.

Central theme of both stories is very similar (MC helping girls with their sobrenatural problems) And the relationship between both partners, is very similar. 

report Recommended by JaVzD

For once there is actually a show that is similar to Monogatari. Both shows involve the MC dealing with supernatural problems involving a wide range of girls. In both shows, while there's a main love interest that spans the series, there are small elements of harems for the MC's.

Both shows also have unique interactions between the characters and contain ample amounts of witty humor

report Recommended by Short_Circut

If you didn't like Bakemonogatari for it being verbose, flashy, or unconventional but still enjoyed some of the themes used than Bunny Girl Senpai might be for you. Bakemonogatari will give you more memorable characters and is all-around better written but if you are looking for something more simple then Bunny Girl is the way.

A shameless yet selfless high school boy encounters several girls dealing with supernatural ailments and tries to help them in several distinct arcs. Sakuta and Koyomi are extremely similar as are Mai and Hitagi. Basically, the setup, structure, and characters have strong parallels. They’re both really good too.

Both stories follow a Male lead trying to help a bunch of girls with their problems related to the unnatural 

report Recommended by Zar_Putin_I

Both try to explore problems that people face via more literal supernatural elements (spirits in Monogatari and adolecense syndrome in Seishun Buta Yarou). Where Bake more focuses on interal conflicts and problems relating to themselves, Seishun Buta Yarou focuses on an individual's interactions and place within a societal context (and then by proxy, how it affects them). Both however, are still good in both rights. There are also other small similarites that a fan of one can recognise in the other but they both still feel like fresh and interesting series in their own ways. 

report Recommended by Glayce

Both shows have a note of the supernatural things, that happening around main characters: the hero of this story is still a high school student, who meets a girl with supernatural phenomenon and helping her to solve a  problem. Also, main heroine  has a personality of "tsundere": sometimes, she can be angry to protagonist and even rude him, but on the other hand,  she loves him and feel safety with MC. 
Besides it, in both animes slip philosophical and scientific thoughts.
 

report Recommended by Cold_Raw

The story lines are very similar and equally interesting! The main character seems to be a pushover when in reality he has a righteous attitude towards helping others in need. They both walk the line between supernatural and reality; the character's emotions manipulate the world at large through themes of physics and spirituality. The themes are also very philosophical and every episode of Bunny Girl leaves me wondering about how I perceive my world, just like the Bakemonogatari series did. Mild fanservice too! I absolutely recommend both anime.

Bunny Girl is a rip off except
Generic art style
Forgettable soundtrack
less cynical
less of Shaft's spice
less headtilt™
less verbose
easier to consume 
slightly more cliche
BUT STILL GOOD!


Self aware deadpan boy highschooler meets long hair self aware girl during a supernatural moment. Girl tells boy to not tell anyone he saw her. 

He helps girls with their personal mental problems that manifest into something supernatural. He helps girls only for his harem. 

There is a glasses clad girl who knows everything that can help the mc on any supernatural problem. 

There is a girl who really has a crush on the mc. 
There is a girl who is somehow the same age after a long time.
There is a girl who knows everything and has a split personality.

The ending song is sung by the girl who the arc is focused on. Monogatari does this with the opening song.

And many other minor similarities to Monogatari.

Both shows have one main male protagonist with many female characters surrounding him, but what makes both of these shows great is how they both are not  harems. The females in both shows actually have characteristics and are not boring. Also not all of them are falling over romantic for the male protagonist.
 Both shows character develop their main male protagonist as well as the females very well.

Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai is basically Bakemonogatari but worse. I find the characters, their interactions, the humour, the visuals, the drama, the plot (from what I remember from the manga), the art, sound and basically anything else to be better in Monogatari. If you enjoyed this, Bakemonogatari should blow your mind. On the other hand, Bunny Girl does have a more down to earth feel and is better for people who don't get Bake's humour.

Both Bunny Girl Senpai and Bakemonogatari share a similar concept where the mc helps out several girls who are experiencing a supernatural phenomenon. The dynamic between the mc and their main love interest in both anime are extremely similar, so if you like the banter then you should definitely check out Bakemonogatari, and all the other seasons in the series.

Both have RomCom and School genre.

Both male MCs have a kawaii imouto

Oregairu is my most favorite RomCom Anime all time, while this series can catch up or possibly become my new favorite RomCom

Both series had the potential to rise to popularity when they both first aired.

Both have no aggravating factors that can ruin the story, ex. Harem, ecchi.

Both have good art style

Romance series with kind of the same atmosphere, with supernatural elements with the same kind of mystery feeling.

Both series explores the complexities of romantic relationships, friendships, and adolescence through supernatural phenomena. Whilst the supernatural phenomena are completely different and the plot differs, the concept is strikingly similar. Both main characters develop their relationships with those around them as a consequence of trying to solve the supernatural phenomena.

Both are high school anime focusing on a main character who has the desire to help those around him, especially his closest friends. For every arc is a new supernatural event that occurs due to a problem that one or more of the characters is experiencing, yet has been hiding from the others. With this supernatural event the character or characters involved cannot hide themselves for very long, otherwise they'd suffer very terrible consequences that could harm not only themselves but those around him/her.

These shows are very, very similar. They talk about strange phenomena that nobody can really explain (the spit in NKX, puberty syndrome in SEIBU). The main couples are similar although Sakuta and Mai are more calloused that Urabe and Akira, not so innocent. School plays a large part in both shows, as it sets the background and atmosphere while also serving to better explain the relationships the characters have.
 These are both excellent mystery romances that are definitely worth your time.

It is practically the same as Monogatari if you subtract the unique art style of Shaft and replace supernatural with Sci-Fi. 

A very brief review of  Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai:
The show revolves around Sakuta who helps other students in his high school with a very peculiar problem - Puberty Syndrome - a syndrome that defies physics as we know it. Enjoy the pseudo-thrilling experience with sweet romance and comedy where the writers have done an excellent job in incorporating Physics concepts like Shcrodinger's cat, etc. into the high school dramatic environment without overwhelming the viewers with abundant and scientific mumbo-jumbo. read more
