Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (aka Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai) has a realistic plot in which one can see the troubles teens get through today. Apart from the social anxiety everyone is talking about, there are other teen issues that come up in the series if you pay attention. One is the pressure a working teen has and can be seen through Mai's case. Another one is the discovery of one's self and the stress it might cause, just like in Futaba's case. One more (that I didn't notice until the end of the series) is the burden Sakuta carries for his sister's case Kaede.The effects each case has on the individual is shown with physical damages and supernatural phenomena, a thing done well by the producers because they managed to make us feel the confusion and pain the characters were feeling.I put a 9 on the story because I wanted it to last longer and provide more explanation regarding the scientific part. Other than that the story was unique, with many messages, realistic and meaningful.
Art: 10/10
I have no words to express how much I enjoyed the art on the series. The colours were beautiful and the characters well-made. The producers did an awesome job on that part.
Music: 8/10
The music is pretty chill and matches the scenes perfectly, but personally I have heard better OST. That's why I put an 8.
Characters: 10/10
Each and every character has their own personality and story.There aren't characters that are too rude or dramatic. They are balanced and mature on the level they have to be. I don't have many things to say here so I want to focus on two characters. I've read some reviews in which Kaede and Mai aren't that great as characters but I don't agree. When Mai gets over her issues she may seem dull after some episodes but that's not the case. She continues her life and supports those around her that helped her, leaving us the message that we should not forget thouse that are there for us. As for Kaede, she seems pretty immature and overreacts in some situations yet she doesn't give up on getting over her issues.
Overall: 9/10
Undoubtly one of the best anime I've ever seen. If you are into drama and slice-of-life you will enjoy this one. However, I must point out that if you are from the people that don't like thinking and analyzing much a series then this might not be for you.
