Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, quite a mouthful isn't it? I'll just refer to it as Rascal. In short, this series was very good. I can't see many places where it faults, and I can happily say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience watching this series.

After finishing the series, not the movie (watching as soon as I'm finished this review) Rascal very much reminded me of Kokoro Connect. Both have very similar concepts, the ideas of various phenomena happening at any given time. However, I think Rascal does a far better rendition of this. While I haven't read the Kokoro Connect or Rascal manga's, Rascal tends to explain the reasonings and science behind everything that's going on, whereas in the anime series of Kokoro Connect, it just sort of happens with no explanation. The story in Rascal was also much more enjoyable than that of Kokoro Connect, and the relationships felt more real. Sakuta is one of my new favourite slice-of-life protagonists, I loved his straightforward attitude and sense of humor, holding back no shame. It's a different pace in terms of protagonists, and I liked it.

The story didn't bring me to tears, however it did have it's moments that had me holding back a bit. The romance wasn't too much, but I think it was a good level for this anime. The characters were all fairly memorable, except I found Kunimi's character to be quite bland, although that may have to do with the lack of much screen-time. The animation was very good, you could say I was impressed, although we didn't get to see Mai in that bunny outfit NEARLY as much as I initially thought we would before I started the series. Given the series' name, you would think so, but it's not anything new for Manga/LN/Animes to have long and strange names, huh?

I can't really say much bad about this series, which kind of makes it difficult to write a review. I guess if I had to nitpick anything, I'd say maybe dumb down the explanations for all of the phenomena, as I had a hard time understand why everything was happening from the lengthy and confusing explanations Futaba gave. Although, I think that was the whole point. It's phenomena after all, it just can't be explained away that easily. Yeah, I can't give any solid criticism for this series, it's very good.

Would I recommend this to anybody? Absolutely. Go watch this series, then the movie! Speaking of the movie, I got to get to it!
