The first light novel volume is the only one with a title contains these words, with the first season of the anime being named after it. The movie adapting volume 6 and 7 is named after the former. If they end up adapting more there's a good chance they'll name the new project after the eighth one.
If you want an English title for the series, Yen Press is using "Rascal does not dream". If it's too long or you don't like it, "Seishun Buta" and "AoButa" are also available.

Seishun Buta Yarou Series for me, but when I talk to other people I always call it Bunny Girl Senpai so they know what I'm talking about because that's the name almost everyone knows it by, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It’s basically the last three words of the title in English. I call it that as it’s easier to pronounce and remember. With the movie I call it “Dreaming Girl” or something along those lines. Again using the last two words of the title. Using the whole title is too much of a hassle and the Japanese one is too much to memorize for some people. It’s easier to just abbreviate words or sentences to make it easier for people to remember, especially if the title is long to begin with.

There's no need to always stick to the og name,the name 'Hyouka' is far better than the series' original name, "Koten bu series".

The name is just a bait. It works...people.watch it and then praise it for what it really is. Nobody would immediately want to watch a series named "Rascal doesn't dream"...but if you say "Bunny girl senpai" i am immediately interested.

Noooo! You can't call it a not-long, catchy, iconic, slightly inaccurate name just because it was popularized when it aired! Use words like rascal even if virtually no one uses it or the title "does not dream" which doesn't give any more meaning than the popular form of "bunny girl senpai" does!! Keep it accurate to how the japanese author intended it to!!!!

If I’m talking to people who know the show and already know it’s way way more than just bunny girls, I will just say Bunny Girl because it’s easy and they already know the show.

If I’m talking to someone who doesn’t know anything about the show, I use the full name and I’ll explain the “Did you know that bunny girl senpai is actually only the first novel/first 3 episodes?” As like a fun fact way to get them interested in the further plot.

It seems like OP is more concerned about people who don’t know the show being taken aback by the Bunny Girl thing, which I understand because I went into the show thinking it was gonna be kinky and weird and it was way different than what I thought.

I think OP is just worried of everyone not calling it what it "should" be called. Usually ppl who don't know about bunny girl these years probably don't have a good idea of seasonal anime and those who do you can just tell them it's like a more mainstream, easy to get into monogatari series and they'll catch on

@Demon0fAnime It's not technically wrong, at least you're not one of the people who call the latter "Bunny Girl Senpai Movie". My point was that wasn't the name of the series (season 1, movie 1, and whatever comes next).


@KP_SENSEI In this case, there's a pretty clear intent to mimic the LN titles as much as they can, but I get what you meant.


@CrappyGamer2021 Of course some useless MAL thread won't change anything, I never thought it would. I also anticipated most of the negative replies, people don't like being told they're wrong after all.

The part that's in every volume title makes less sense because you're used to being wrong.


@makeinue @Syphilis_ @Alasco2002 I don't believe I earned the right to be bullied in such a lazy way, you could at the very least come up with something funnier than this kind of poor one-liner. I guess that's what happens when your mind feels the need to fight back as fast as possible whenever it thinks someone is attacking you.

@Cyruskilla That's still what all the English titles start with. It's not that hard to understand. You take every title, you look at what they have in common, and cut the rest. It's a really standard thing to do. You could even shorten it to "Rascal Series"... and I just found out Crunchyroll already thought of that. If that's still weird to you, well, there's is a reason why nobody calls this the "Story Series", and it's not because "Tales Series" was already taken.

Or you could just call it 'Bunny girl senpai' and don't be a new born child crying for milk infront of thousands of people, I'm just sayin'....

U can call me a bully or whatever tf u want, but if you really are this annoyed at the name of an anime, you really have to reconsider your life choices. Plus, it's really hard to argue when the criteria of comfort comes in cus u ain't changing anything there.

Nope. It's Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. That's the official title, don't be pedantic.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.
