| Not sure why you grouped in Hyouka with Oregairu and Bunny Girl. Bunny Girl/Oregairu/Monogatari are all kind of similar, but Hyouka is completely different from any of those three... |
 What's the difference? |
ASaid99 said: Well yh, of course there will be less users, its a second season. People who didnt like first season wouldve dropped it there. Only fans of the show watched both seasons and so the fact that season 2 is higher according to most of them shows it 🤷♂️ What? ASaid99 said: As for Chitanda, I honestly hear more good things about her than bad. But like I said, I need to finish Hyouka first, still got 11 episodes left then I will judge her (tho I dont mind her so far). Come on she is pictured as "not very bright" even in-universe. |
| I guess I was swayed by the fact that BGS was getting so much attention and was pretty much the talk of the season but forgot that naturally it being relatively new would be fresh in people's mind, so it was dumb to compare it with oregairu's or hyouka's popularity. I love animes like oregairu, classroom of the elite etc and was having simmilar vibe from BGS's episode 1. But was disappointed after episode 2 and it never got as good as I expected so started having a biased opinion on it till the very last episode. I guess in some other universe and timeline, I would have liked it as much as others. Comparing an anime with another while watching it was a big mistake which I learned. Again have a nice day :D |

ASaid99 said: I just done see how less users scoring the second season (which is the same for second seasons of literally anime) disproves the fact that most fans of the show enjoyed it more than the first. - MAL scores are unreliable but even we suggest that they are equally unreliable inside a franchise the different count obstructs us to make the conclusion that in fact the second season is/was more popular. - What makes me think that the second ruined the series is that I was following the comments (here and on other sites) and the first got nothing but praise but there were a lot of disappointed watchers from the second - me including. Yes my perspective is very limited but I think that around Zoku people stopped talking about OreGairu. ASaid99 said: Also airheaded characters like Chitanda can be pretty lovable too 🤷♂️ Well she is not Yui (and I don't like her too). |
| What are you talking about Oregairu is way more popular than Bunny girl senpai |
 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
| I have not watched a single one of the 3 yeat but I guess Bunny Girl senpay was hyped, I dont really think it deserves it so I avoid it for now. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| oregairu and hyouka are way more popular, look at the number under each rating also, oregairu is way better than both and hyouka is extremely boring sometimes the more popular a show is the lower the rating goes if bunny girl had been in more users' anime lists it wouldn't be rated that high |

LiedElfen said: Pullman said: are there really? There's exactly one show I can think of that has a comparable structure and emphasis and that is Monogatari (and that chinese Monogatari clone probably), and Bunny Girl manages to still be distinct enough from that by focusing much more on the main relationship so it didn't bother me that much. I've seen 5k anime and Bunny Girl seemed pretty unique overall so what do you know that I don't? Or is it that because I've seen so much, having only 1 or 2 similar shows still counts as pretty unique for me? But let's set the originality debate aside. I was getting into it expecting it to be generic and not to my liking but ended up pleasantly surprised by how effective it was and how likable the characters and romance were. It wasn't as good at the arc-based mysteries and sharp dialogues as Monogatari and didn't pull off the cynicism as well as Oregairu, and you can certainly compare certain elements of it to other shows, but as a whole it felt like a fairly unique mix of things and most importantly it was executed very well, which is always more important than how unique the concept is. Getting hung up on the originiality of an anime that just perfectly executes stuff that is generally enjoyed by a lot of people, is really missing the point of their appeal. People know what they like and they like seeing those things done really well. That's almost always gonna be more appealing to a larger amount of people than trying to do something completely new. Virtual-san is doing something new this season, something unique that no show has done before, and it still isn't doing well. That's because execution matters over originality. There are many shows with a similar premise to Bunny girl senpai, they don't need to be exactly the same episode after episode in order to be similar to it. I still haven't heard any examples. How many anime are there really where MC goes around helping a bunch of people with supernatural problems in a romance/school setting? That is the premise, and not an episode after episode summary, and I still only remember Monogatari so please enlighten me if you know more. Of course depending on how vaguely you define 'similar premise' you can come up with a lot of stuff. You could compare it to Mushishi for the 'helping people with supernatural problems' part, or with any random school anime based on the setting but imo that's pretty pointless. You can find 'similar premises' for basically everything with that approach. It's just sophistry at that point. Also my point about execution > premise still stands. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Idk, I dropped Hyouka after 3 episodes. The art was really nice, but it felt about as exciting as watching paint dry. I haven't seen Oregairu (though on my PTW), but I really enjoyed Bunny Girl Senpai. Different tastes, my dude. Bunny Girl Senpai literally has half the overall members that the other two have. I'm sure as more people watch it over time, the lower the score will drop. It'll probably end up around the ~8.2 mark by the time it accumulates the same amount of member ratings. |

| Hey oregairu and hyouka were popular especially during it's time of release, few years ago, and its still popular but not as hot as now like Bunny girl senpai who happen to be released last fall and has a upcoming movie. If I were to rank: 1. Oregairu, 2. Bunny girl senpai, 3. Hyouka |
| Well i love Oregairu and Hyouka and couldn't finish Bunny. Some people find Hyouka boring. That's the reason why I love it. it's Realistic, that's all. And there are not so many Anime as realistic as this one for describing daily life or characters personnality. Nothing incredible is happening all the time, that's real life SoL. |
| I'd say the supernatural element of Bunny Girl may attract a wider audience, or at least get a better response from a wider audience, and, it got the MCs in a relationship (nevermind the fact that Mai blueballs Sakuta all day long). Oregairu is a slice of life comedy with the typical "nobody wants to accept their feelings" plot, Hyouka is super chill mystery/SoL combo, your audience for these two is very locked in on the SoL fans. I liked all three, but Bunny Girl just felt a bit more interesting than the other two (mind you, I haven't watched the Monogatari series that it's often compared to). Also, as soon as every episode started I wanted to go out and run through the streets screaming "Kimi no Sei, Kimi no Sei, Kimi no Sei de, watashi UwU". I have to say though, I'm curious after seeing so many people disliking Chitanda, she's best girl across the three series for me. |

| Hyouka and Oregairu are 9/10 series when Bunny Senpai is a 5/10.. Story wise Hyouka is better than Oregairu, it is one of the most unique mystery out there.. Character wise, Oregairu is far better though ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Hyouka is the only one of the three animes referenced in the OP that I’ve seen so I’m not comparing it to either, but I definitely agree with everyone saying it was boring. The mysteries were trivial and irrelevent, they could of just walked away and said “yknow what, who cares?” at any point and no one would of been any worse off for it. The romance is almost nonexistent and the characters sucked. Chitanda and Oreki are annoying and the other two are just irrelevent |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |

ASaid99 said: alshu said: Also most people love Chitanda."Why isn't OreGairu and Hyouka as popular and well rated like Bunny Girl Senpai?" OreGairu was way more popular than Bunny Girl Senpai but the horrible second season ruined its creds. Hyouka is a slow detective show about school mysteries like "Who locked the door?", "Who have stolen those useless random objects?" and "What Hyouka even means?" - very few people like those also didn't have a conclusion. PS And yeah Chitanda is really annoying. If it will be some sort of comfort to you I value OreGairu and Hyouka way above Bunny Girl Senpai (which I dropped after a half of episode). Let's be honest here...........Chitanda IS kind of annoying. She's a pushy, naive, close-talker that you wouldn't hesitate to ditch IRL at the first opportunity. But she's annoying in an endearing way (or at least, that's how the anime portrays it). |
| 90% of the the internet's problems come from people treating fictional people like they're real and real people like they're fictional. |
| So I've only seen BGS, and while I plan to get to the other two, I haven't had time yet. With that being said, my guess why BGS has a significantly higher score is just the fact that BGS is more recent, because the anime community has exploded in the past 5 years and it's become more common for good seasonal shows to become "top 25 anime of all time contender" even if realistically, no it's not THAT good. Plus shows scores go down with time as the initial hype wears off and people look back and ask "was it really that good?" As for what the appeal of BGS is, I liked the character dialogue, I found it charming yet heartfelt and I liked the social issues handled through supernatural metaphor thing. Maybe OreGairu and Hyouka do them better, I'll find out when I get around to them, but I felt it did it well enough for me to like it, and I imagine for a lot of people it's the same. |

Nothing amazing happen, the world is not in danger, no died, most people do not even care, but still there are little misteries around you.. That is a strong message I think ... You also said that Hyouka is not unique.. Can you tell me other series (not necessarily an anime) similar to Hyouka ? |

Pullman said: calm down there, by "shitty" i meant i dissagree and cant understand what he stated, i cant understand how Chitanda is annoying. Kuraya said: it seems natural to me to say that an opinion is pretty shitty if it says things like "oregairu S2 is bad" Am I not allowed to have opinions on someone's opinions ? Elitists have more characteristics than just saying people's opinions are shit Like what? If you think your opinion is inherently better than other opinions without even attempting to bring in arguments or anything to back it up you're basically implying that you and your opinions are better than others by default, which is pretty 'elitist' if you ask me. But whatever, keep on being condescending towards disagreeing opinions while not even providing arguments and feel like you're the good guy in the process. Hypocrisy is rampant in this fandom already, one more of you won't make a difference. and i think Oregairu s2 was better than the first. i dont hate the energy and time to elaborate arguments for everyine that i happen to pass and is dissagreeing with me. my opinion is not better byu default, i just thinkl it is because its mine, my opnion is mine f\so of course i will put it highewr than others' |

| So much Hyouka hate, even though it's actually slice of life and character study done right... /smh Anyway, op. Every season has a couple of different 'popular' anime that has staying power for maybe half a year. I guantee that a year from now no one will be saying bunny girl sempai is one of the best. Some people will say it's a favorite, but the hype will be gone. |

| I mean, bunny girl isn't as popular, but it's more liked (arguably) |
   I'll keep wishing for a world where you can be happy. |
| Not counting oregairu S1 Oregairu S2's impression is that, it was too damn edgy, tried too hard. Hyouka was good, but bunny girl's character interactions is what brought it up that high from the looks of it. |
  |
| Well it was slightly better than Hyouka in the character department. Not sure what this Oregairu is. Is that an abbreviation? It's not showing up when I search. Don't think I've seen it unless it was under an English title. |

| Sadly there will always be overhyped anime that arent exactly brilliant. Ive learnt to just deal with it. Usually the ppl that overhype stuff are just mainstream watchers so yeah |
My Candies:  |
| Bc the bunny girl is exciting for Virgin teenager I think There always are a overhyped show so each season He must be decent but kind classic |
 |
| In mt opinion, Hyouka is a thematic masterpiece and amazing show all around. That said, it's not everybody's kind of show. Though not bad, the beginning of the show takes it's time establishing the series - which works considering it's a two-cour show. Bunny Girl Senpai on the other hand, couldn't take that time even if it wanted to with only 13 episodes and so many arcs to cover. Bunny Girl Senpai is great, but once Hyouka gets going, it's a spectacle. |

| Ok, first of all, Oregairu is fucking Trash! Secondly, Bunny Girl Senpai is the Poor man’s Monogatari...like, VERY poor man. |
| Just because the main characters are alike doesn't mean the series are the same and worth comparing |
 |
| What are you talking about? OreGairu and Hyouka are more popular than Bunny Girl Senpai. Haven't seen the other two yet and I loved Bunny Girl Senpai mainly for the romance between the two leads. The supernatural, though enjoyable, do tend to get old but some still intriguing and at times make the show a bit more interesting to me. |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
