Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (light novel)
| Now typically whenever I want to watch romance type anime, I will go back to early 2000s through early 2010s just due to the fact that they seem better made. I don't know if it's just me but recently over the past 5-7 years, the romance genre has gone from being romantic and dramatic to now having an even more copy and paste, cliché feel as well as taking the fan service and just driving it through the roof. But most of all what gets me a little sad is the depth in these newer series. Like you can always see through the plot, there's nothing shocking about the outcome of a lot of these shows. However this anime, despite being aired within the past 6 years has a lot of depth. You're actually able to pay attention to a well written plot instead of being overwhelmed by the amount of fan service and shitty commentary that a lot of other series in this generation offer. Let me hear your thoughts on the depth of this series. Do you like it personally and if not why? Thanks :) |

| Personally I don’t think it’s that “deep” of a story but it was a mildly-interesting watch. I’m just waiting on the movies. |
| Yeah, I'm very impressed by how depthless this series is, so, in some way, I'm impressed by its depth. |
| it's just a monogatari copycat. but at least it is a copycat of a great show. |
| also if you're looking for unique romcoms, then i'd recommend HoriMiya and Kaguya-sama. |
sayu-simp said: praquenomereal said: yes! It Góes out of cliché, something REALLY rare these days. i recommend kaguya Sama if you want a good romance too is kaguya one of those animes where the protagonists never get together and you're just going around in circles for 3 seasons? Not at all, the main couple definitely has a lot of progress, specially in season 3 and the "movie". Many people think this is true because of how "tsundere" those characters are. |

| When I think of Seishun Buta, I think Monogatari but without the intermediary monologues between the fanservice. Basically a more fanservicey Monogatari. |

| Hmmm....u need to watch monogatari ๐ฟ I love both series but Bunnygirl senpai & monogatari is just like Darling is franxx & Evangalion at the end of the day The original gets more points ! |
| "Depth" and "unique" are the last words I'd use to describe Bunny Girl Senpai considering it's essentially a substandard copy of Monogatari. In fact, I'd go as far to say Bunny Girl is exactly what you'd get if you strip the Monogatari Series of all its depth, uniqueness, eccentricity, nuance, and visual flair. Bunny Girl Senpai appeals to such a wide audience that even new anime fans can get into it because of its simplicity and familiarity. Monogatari is the opposite because it's so unconventional and weird even by anime standards. It's certainly not for everyone, so I can always understand when people say they don't care for it. |

more unique than 95% of your average anime. |

There's really never any proper explanation as to why BGS is apparently a plagiarized version of Monogatari. Just throwing buzzwords together without really saying much of anything. There's never a unified argument on why BGS is a copy of Monogatari largely because of the reductive and shallow analysis of it. I mean, the top review of this show is just some Monogatari twerker making dumb conclusions on how BGS is a copy of Monogatari(with a million tangents) without any solid arguments."Depth" and "unique" are the last words I'd use to describe Bunny Girl Senpai considering it's essentially a substandard copy of Monogatari. In fact, I'd go as far to say Bunny Girl is exactly what you'd get if you strip the Monogatari Series of all its depth, uniqueness, eccentricity, nuance, and visual flair. Bunny Girl Senpai certainly draws inspiration from Monogatari, but I wouldn't argue that it is a direct imitation. Both series take very diverse approaches to the same idea and that does not equate to stripping "the Monogatari Series of all its depth, uniqueness, eccentricity, nuance, and visual flair" when in reality those "strips" were done intentionally to create a more grounded atmosphere for the show. And another reason that Bunny Girl Senpai "appeals to such a wide audience" is probably because it doesn't involve obsessive fanservice and doesn't have the main character say and do borderline creepy stuff for shits and giggles. |

If the passive aggressiveness is some attempt to get an altercation going, I'm sorry to disappoint. It's not really my style. Obviously Bunny Girl is not a direct imitation. I'm exaggerating for emphasis. I can't help but notice you only have the first out of 10 Monogatari entries on your list. Forgive me when I say that I don't think you have the grounds to assess or critique it properly. You have a single piece of the puzzle, while I'm looking at the complete picture. The main thing I wanna say is that if you like Bunny Girl, then that's absolutely fantastic. I would sincerely hope personal feelings that oppose your own about a piece of media doesn't leave a negative impact on the mind. |

Pyro said: Actually, I've read everything until Nekomonogatari Black which is all of the first season. The light novel is in my favorites so not sure how you missed that. I certainly didn't mean to come off as any form of aggressive but I see a lot of these takes around MAL especially and it gets annoying when people draw big conclusions without much evidence. samsince04 said: Wow you have actually outdone every Monogatari nerd I have come across on this site.

Funnily enough, someone else said something similar to me about Monogatari but I think they also didn't see the fact that I've read six volumes of the light novel. I'm interested to see how reading past the first season of the light novels will somehow make me understand a little bit better why BGS is a copy of Monogatari. Very doubtful tho. |

Very doubtful tho.Ah, I should've been more clear. I haven't read the BGS light novel, so I cannot comment on it. I meant specifically the anime for both series. I felt fair talking about it since we are in the anime discussion section, and that's in my wheelhouse. Honestly, my biggest problems with Bunny Girl isn't necessarily the writing or characterization. I don't go into such series expecting extraordinarily deep level writing, reflection and introspection. I can let that aspect slide, but the thing I often cannot look past in anime is poor production and technical quality. I view CloverWorks as a lackluster studio and since they started off as a subsidiary of A-1, I've never had much good faith in them. I do believe my earlier thought on the distinctiveness and visual flair are valid in that regard. It's not so much that it's a copy of Monogatari, but rather it being adjacent. It has enough similarities that I do think comparison is valid. The only other series I can think of similar to Monogatari are ones where they share the same author, director, and studio in Shaft. Aside from that, BGS is the first thing I and seemingly others think of. |
