The story starts off with a teen boy, Kodaka Hasegawa, who has just moved back to his childhood town. When he first walks into his high school class, he gives the immediate impression to everyone that he's dangerous and a delinquent, mostly because of the color of his blond hair. Kodaka doesn't make any friends after this happens. But, soon after, he meets Yozora Mikazuki, another student in his class who is also antisocial and friendless. Both of them form the Neighbors Club, a place for people with no friends to help each other try to make friends. I will not go much deeper into the plot line because I don't want to spoil the story.
Art - 8/10
I don't know very much about art, but the art in Haganai seemed good to me. What made me raise my rating from a 6/7 to an 8 was that I thought the op had cute art.
Sound - 9/10
I really enjoyed the op and never skipped it. The song was super cute. I did like the ending but I started skipping it after around episode 2 or 3.
Character - 8/10
The characters were all similar in the way that they had nobody to talk to, but had very different and enjoyable personalities. Kodaka is pretty much a normal boy but his little sister Kobato pretends she is a vampire which can be very amusing at times. Yozora picks and choses who she likes and doesn't like and gets annoyed very easily. Sena is a shy rich girl. All the boys flock around her but she doesn't have any true friends. She also gets embarrassed very easily and is often picked on by Yozora. She has a soft spot for Kobato, which is pretty funny as the story progresses. Rika... she's a complete pervert but very smart and helps the group get into video games. Yukimura is a boy who dresses like a girl in order to bring out his inner manliness... explaining may mean light spoilers, so I won't go into it. Lastly is Maria, the ten year old club advisor who likes naps and fighting with Kobato. She's very gullible.
Many of the character's traits are used for comedy but during the story, these characters do grow.
Enjoyment - 8/10
I found myself addicted to this and I finished it in 3 days. I didn't enjoy it as much as other anime I've watched, but it was still worth it. My favorite character was Yukimura, he's a beautiful boy.
Overall - 8/10
This is an anime that I would recommend to comedy, ecchi, and slice of life anime fans. I really liked this one and I will be watching the second season.
