[NO SPOILERS]
To most, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is a fairly average anime. And to be honest, I can't help but to agree with them. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai's story and characters aren't the best you'll ever see, but they are enjoyable enough to have a fun ride nonetheless. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is a story about friendship and secret love.
Story 7 / 10
The story of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is nothing special. It's about a couple of friends, 1 guy and his 6 female friends (of which one is his little sister and one is a boy. You'll get that one after watching a couple of episodes) just hanging out and doing fun things like karaoke or going to the pool. There is nothing wrong with a simple plot line as this one. Good writers can make a plot line as this one into a masterpiece. Unfortunately, that's not the case with Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. The story is good, but far from being a masterpiece. The characters nor the plot line develop quite well enough to make you fall in love with the anime. The story itself is too heavily focused on the haram and ecchi part, which is unfortunate. The characters could have been more interesting, making the story more interesting, if only they had focused more on the story line and character development.
The characters and the story are good enough for a 7 out of 10, but lack anything special for it to be an 8 or more.
Art 9 / 10
I absolutely love the art! It's colorful yet mature and it captures the theme of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai very well!
Sound 6 / 10
The sound on the other hand is nothing special. Then again, what music could've been used to really make a difference? The people who made this anime made a good choice just sticking to what was necessary.
Characters 8 / 10
The characters, although not developing throughout the story, were in fact very good. Every character was interesting in his or her own way and none of them were neglected or less important throughout the show. All characters had their own quirks which made for hilarious situations. There were conflicts between characters, love triangles and much more.
Overall the characters, although I wished for them to develop more overtime to show progression, were very nicely done and definately deserve an 8 out of 10.
Enjoyment 8 / 10
I have enjoyed this anime very much. The story is great (lacking a bit, but not too much) and the characters were very interesting. The show had only one or two dull moments but overall was very interesting and funny.
Overall 8 / 10
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is a very average anime, heavily focused on harem and ecchi, which I find unfortunate, as the story could've been much more than it already is.
The characters are interesting and hilarious. Unfortunately their is no development in their characters throughout the story.
The art is outstanding, being coloful yet mature at the same time.
The sound is nothing special, though I don't see what more could have been done.
Overall I enjoyed Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai a lot and recommend it to a mature audience who likes a relaxed story about friends just having fun together.
