After reading the many glowing review of B Gata H Kei, I feel like I watched a completely different show. It's a very watchable but very unlikeable anime.
It begins well enough with Yamada wanting to lose her virginity so she can work toward her highest goal of having 100 fuck buddies. The best person to lose her virginity to, she decides, is Kosuda, another virgin. Yamada makes a few bold actions toward Kosuda but she never follows through or explains herself. Kosuda is not an idiot, he's just completely bewildered by this deranged girl. This is where the series falls apart.
Yamada will make advances toward
...
Kosuda only to push him away or yell at him. She's the main character and after only a couple of episodes, you're completely against her. After the pair walk home in the rain, you think that she will begin to develop real feelings for Kosuda, but instead she becomes more rude toward him. It doesn't matter that Yamada's actions are due to her being scared of actually having sex; she comes across as an unlikeable lunatic.
Eventually a villain of sorts is introduced - the beautiful and popular Kanejou. She plots to find, steal, and dump Yamada's boyfriend. Also introduced is Kosuda's childhood friend - a girl named Mayu who actually likes and wants to be with Kosuda. These are the characters you should be cheering on. Unfortunately, their stories ultimately go nowhere while Yamada and Kosuda build up to a disappointing ending. Yamada almost has a redemption in the last couple of episodes, but it's difficult to see if she really changed or not.
