1) Monogatari
Both Anime showcases some major problems among adolescents (mainly Bake). Monogatari calls it 'Abbreviations' while Buuny Girl calls it 'Puberty Syndrome'. They both are just highlighting problems faced by teenagers but the aim is a little different. Monogatari uses it's plot points (abbreviations) to construct the characters while Bunny Girl uses it's character problems (Adolescent Syndrome) to construct it's plot.
Both Anime shows that main leads are already in love with each other and are also progressing in their relationship further, even though it only goes in the speed of a snail. The characters are different but the vibe is still the same.
2) Oregairu
Both series has some witty dialogue with the pessimistic undertone to it. It sounds casual but has a little more than just the surface meaning of it.
I think this is the main reason this looks so similar to Oregairu. I really thought these are just characters of Oregairu in another world, even though the structure is slightly different. Mai is just Yukino if she's a model, Futaba is just Hiratsuka if she's in the same year as the MC, Tomoe is just Iroha if she's a little tall (?), Saki and Yuuma are just Yumiko and Hayato. The only characters I found different are Nadoko and Shouko.
There are many plain differences like direction, art style choice and other technical aspects but the main difference is;
Sakuta feels a lot like an combination of Araragi's perviness and Hachiman's "don't care" attitude. Sakuta has pervy thoughts but is highly against incest (unlike Araragi, who probably doesn't mind). Even though, both are in a relationship, Araragi feels a lot like Harem MC while Sakuta feels like your typical edgy teenager who found himself a girlfriend. As for with 8man; Hachiman resolves his problems by self hurt, like a sacrificial pawn who bears all the blame on himself in order to resolve the problem, while Sakuta resolve the problem by the straightforward approach, i.e., talking.
It's dumb to demerit a show just because it's similar to other series. Just enjoy it for what it is.

I like how casual & refreshing the drama is. Nothing overly dramatic but very calm and straight-forward with it's characters without unnecessarily excessive shouting or crying. It's generally a little overblown whenever horny highschoolers involve but it kept it to a minimum so I kinda liked it.
I don't think I need to explain that.
- Mai & Sakuta's ConverstaionsThere conversations are just so entertaining to watch.

Don't get confused. Not having overblown and overdramatic drama sure helped it to portray itself refreshing but not having engaging drama is as much of problem too. There isn't a single emotion that reciprocated while watching these characters going through troubles, even when the mood is so perfectly set.
It only felt like the series is just trying to be intelligent whenever it brings up this Quantum Physics. I can see that the creators might inspired by it but it definitely sounded more pretentious than inspired intelligence.
I'm not too fond of dialogue heavy Anime. They break the "show, not tell" rule of visual media and most of the time, I find them boring than anything else. I'm not saying it's bad but you have to atleast show the important events instead of just sliding them off into dialogues that I already wasn't interested in.
