Seishun Buta Yaro wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai

I started watching this series thinking that it'll be rom com anime but it is much more than that. We might feel really weird watching this because our logic won't be able to keep up with it but as it progresses we can understand the message the series is trying to convey. It deals with high school bullying and the herd mentality of people. The story is about a high school boy Sakuta who falls in love with a senior girl Mai. Soon Sakuta finds that Mai is also going through the conditions that he once went through. So he decides to help her and they develop strong feelings for each other while dealing their problems together.

Overall it is a good series to watch, but remember that this is not a science fiction(though may feel like one). So enjoy watching it with a open heart and mind.

At the start you might feel confused because the writer has a weird way of introducing things but as you progressed and get comfortable with the idea of "Puberty Syndrome" Things starts to get really interesting. This anime has a very interesting turn off events to say the least. It is makes you laugh at the beginning and leaves you crying at the end.

This show on the outset would appear to be another piece of weeb trash. And that's intentional, this shows title and cover are literally clickbait, and that's what drew me to the series, but what this show is, is something truly spectacular. Every single aspect about this show from its art to its plot are masterfully crafted to deliver the most emotionally powerful experice of any late 2018 anime. I cried multiple times throughout this series, and I am in no way ashamed to admit that. The characters and their relationships are very realistic and how they interact is just enjoyable to watch, especially with Mai and Sakuta, who have such amazing chemistry and play off the other exceptionally well. The other characters and the problems that afflict them are also explored in depth, with their problems being manifested into abilities or changes to them or their surroundings. This is manifestation is what the show calls "adolescence/puberty syndrome," and its inclusion creates a small mystery element that gives the characters time to shine and truly express the issues plaguing them. It would also be cruel of me not to mention the amazing voicework done for this show, as all of it is excellent, same can be said of the art which is clean and beautifully shaded and colored. I completely, unironically adore this show, and the select few who I've made watch this show, shared my feelings. If you enjoy slice of life, mystery, romance, or anime at all, you owe it to yourself to watch this show.

This anime series is centred on Sakuta Azusagawa, a high school student. He has a bad reputation; people believe he was responsible for hospitalising three other students. He tries to live a quiet life but everything changes when he meets Mai Sakurajima, a teenage actress, at the library. There is something very strange; she is wearing a bunny girl costume but nobody appears to notice her; in fact she is surprised that he notices her. When he asks others about her nobody seems to recognise her name despite her fame. It appears that this is a case of what is dubbed 'Adolescence Syndrome'. Sakuta determines to investigate this. Over the course of the series he resolves Mai's problem but she isn't the only person affected; he must investigate other cases, including that of his younger sister who has been suffering from amnesia.

I didn't expect too much of this anime but it turned out to be one of the best I watched this season. There is a solid sense of mystery as Sakuta tries to understand what caused each of the cases of Adolescence Syndrome and resolving it. Each case is quite different so it never feels repetitive. The characters are interesting; particularly Sakuta and Mai but the secondary characters are also fun to watch. The plot line involving his sister is particularly emotional. While to condition is obviously science fiction it gives an insight into relatively ordinary personal concerns. The animation was impressive with good character designs and backgrounds. Overall I'd definitely recommend this series.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

At first glance a fun anime, lightly leading to such a troubled adolescence phase. However, looking deeper into the showing situations, using fantasy, reports the reflected feeling of the adolescent, between personality changes and personal rejections, suggest ways to stay healthy in such a complicated phase. Apart from the utterly relevant subject, it also has very well defined features in the forms of beautiful characters. A great anime.
