What was on your mind the first time your read the title? You expect to see a senpai with bunny girl outfit all the time? no, it's not.
Don't even think about "meh, based on the title, I bet this show will have a lot of fan services".
The title is only applied to the first arc- first episode to be exact. After this you won't get another chance to see Mai-senpai in her bunny girl outfit (actually there is, but only for a split second but I won't spoil on what moment).
Story:
If I have to describe this show, I'd say that "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" is a combination of Oregairu, Bakemonogatari and Suzumiya Haruhi (based on these 7 episodes) and actually I can add 1 more title/reference because I already got spoiled from my facebook timeline, but I rather not.
When I say this show have a resemblance of Oregairu, it's the MC and Heroine, but don't worry, this show doesn't have slowwww pace like Oregairu and of course the MC and Heroine are even better than that from Oregairu. (Oregairu fans please don't be mad at me)
I'd say the MC & Heroine on this show is an upgrade version of Oregairu's.
Nuff said.
How about Bakemonogatari reference? This show also have odd cases called Adolescence Syndrome and need a proper way to solve them.
And as for Suzumiya Haruhi's reference, remember the "Endless Eight"? This show also have it, but only took 1 episode.
Enjoyment & Character:
How about my experience after these 7 episodes?
Usually, when you see Comedy, Romance, School, Supernatural genre, you'll met a cliche show, a tsundere heroine, dense MC or even a show that have no real story.
But how about "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"?
Well, I still can't believe myself after 7 episodes I still don't have a single complain.
Why? because this show:
- Have no unnecessary drama
- Have no dense MC & Heroine like any other generic SoL/RomCom
- The pace is well maintained and not rushed
- The character development is noticeable, especially between the MC and Heroine
I dare to say it's the best show for this season
Sounds:
I liked the OP and ED, especially the ED, it have a dedicated for its arc.
Art:
It's all good, similar to Oregairu season 2.
Overall:
10/10 for me as for now
Yes I gave it 10/10 because I generaly love SoL genre and this show did exceeeeeed my expectation.
Watch this show and you won't regret it.
