carried almost entirely by the characters; lots of beautiful irony in seeing such awkward and incongruous personalities together in a club of supposed friends. any plot at all would've been appreciated, but its absence is much easier to forgive with such interesting character dynamics, even if sena and yozora's constant bickering does get somewhat grating by the end. your mileage may vary, though.
if you're only watching this show because of big brother earrape, as did i: that scene is from the second season, which i found to be a soul-sucking waste of time. your time is much better spent elsewhere.

Horrible anime that didnt have more than a single funny moment per episode. The ecchi is overdone and on characters that are way too young to be sexualized and even look like they are too young. Also, the characters have essentialy no character development and the creator of the anime feels the need to chew everything about the plot and spit into our mouths, instead of letting us think.
Genuinely a waste of time. The characters are all deeply flawed and have their entire personalities revolve against a single quirk. I cant fathom how this anime can have a score of almost 7.5 and i wish i had never seen it.

Laughter is the best medicine and there is nothing better for laughing than an anime where all the girls have resting bitch face and act like bitches too. All the plot cycles around some girls acting silly at an after-school club. Which isn't much for plot, but is enough for the comedy to seep through.
Sadly season 2 does away with the resting bitch faces. But season 1 was a riot.
Only bad thing I can think of S1 is that black hair RBF's treatment of bond hair RBF is borderline harassment some of the time. But it isn't so bad that I had to put the show down.

The premise isn't super innovative for an anime of this style, but it serves its purpose. We'll see the daily life of our protagonist Kodaka and how he strives, along with other characters, to make friends in his adolescence because he's not very good at it.
The anime contains several ecchi scenes, comedy, and of course, harem elements. There are several "loli" characters, so if you're not comfortable with this type of content, consider yourself warned.
The animation is quite good and fluid; to enjoy this anime in the best way, I recommend its Blu-ray version, which is completely uncensored and has improvements in animation quality.
It's an anime I highly recommend, especially if you're a fan of ecchi anime; it has a lot of hilarious and funny situations. 👍

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: A Brilliant Comedy That Forgets the Ending
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (also known as Haganai) is an anime that takes a simple premise—loneliness—and turns it into a hilarious and often touching comedy. The story follows Kodaka Hasegawa, a transfer student with an intimidating appearance that prevents him from making friends. By chance, he runs into the lonely Yozora Mikazuki and, realizing they share the same problem, they decide to form the "Neighbors Club," a group with the noble goal of learning how to socialize. Soon, they are joined by other misfits, each one more eccentric than the last.
The greatest strength of the series is the dynamic between the characters and its comedy. The chemistry between this group of outcasts is the soul of the show. The hu…

So the English name of this anime is, I guess, Haganai: I Don’t Have Many Friends. And yes, by the end of the anime, you will basically get to know why the main character doesn’t have many friends. So our main protagonist knows he looks like a delinquent because of his hairstyle but cannot alter or cut it because it’s attached to his late mother’s memory. Okay, I got the emotional part, dude, but you could’ve gotten a nice hairstyle by going to a salon. No one is telling you to go bald or dye your hair or change it completely. Just get a good hairstyle instead of keeping it like a mess.
And now comes the twist: our main protagonist has a childhood friend, Yozora, but he’s unable to identify her at first glance and only notices her much later in the story. Meanwhile, too much ecchi content…

This anime was terrible. I'm not going to beat around the bush. It was awful. I watched the first season, and I won't be watching the second.
The reason it's terrible is entirely around the characters. They're awful. There's not a sympathetic one in the bunch. But far and away the worst is Yozora. Every harem/ecchi anime like this seems to have a character that meets the tsundere trope. She's not a tsundere. She's a tsun tsun tsun.. tsuntsuntsuntsun. Forget the "dere", there's none of that. Half the comedic gags are based around her pulling a mean prank on someone, calling them awful names (like "meat" or "cow udders"), and I couldn't bring myself to even have the slightest bit of feeling about her except revulsion. Sometimes a character will grow on you, or you see a softer side, or that…

I watched both seasons (including OVAs) of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, also known as Haganai or I Don't Have Many Friends. Here are my thoughts:
I tend not to like harem shows such as this with a male protagonist and a lot of (typically unfunny) comedy. Nevertheless, I decided to give this anime a chance. The title is certainly enticing and relatable.
I really liked the voice acting for Sena, Yozora, and Kobato; everyone else is unremarkable. The OST is bad, in my opinion.
The humour is sometimes funny. The comedic theme of social ineptitude is a winner. There is also a lot of 'otaku humour' which can be funny as well. Character interactions are sometimes enjoyable. The various activities of the club and the resulting antics of the characters can be fairly amusing. Humour and characte…

Well, well, well, if it isn't Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, the anime with a title that's harder to pronounce than "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." But let's not judge a book by its cover, or in this case, an anime by its tongue-twister title.
First things first, the story of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is like a bowl of instant noodles - quick, easy, and not too filling. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's still enjoyable to watch. The art style is crisp and colorful, and the character designs are cute enough to make you want to pinch their cheeks.
Now, let's talk about the main character. Kodaka Hasegawa is your typical angsty high schooler with a tragic backstory, but he's also got a heart of gold.…

Not even gonna cap dude, this show is pretty Meaty, and the characters have a lot of Meat to them.
This show has a bunch of cool characters and good stories I can get behind, But season 2 in the 2nd to last episode it gets pretty tough to wanna keep watching, other then that I love it and its my 3rd fave anime oat. If you wanna quick laugh with no big looming threat, some hot girls, a bit of harem/ecci thats not too much, and just a fun time, i genuinely cant recommend a better show.
Characters were pretty well rounded, and fun to watch, plus art still looks good after all this time. Not a very realistic show tho lol

[b]As someone who watches anime primarily for taboo fan service, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai did not disappoint. [/b]
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is just another genetic slice-of-life about people wanting to friends, so they form a club to do so.
While watching this anime, there was only one episode that I found so boring that I had to skip through it.
I was decently entertained most of the time.
And the fan service? It comes out of nowhere. The first few episodes don't have much, but then it comes in like a truck around episode #3.
[url=https://myanimelist.net/blog/Loli_Impregnator]On my Blog[/url], I time-stamped all the instances of 🍭 fan service in this anime.
[i]Episodes #3, #7, #8, #9, #10 and #13 contain this type of fan service.[/i]
[b]Would I recommend this anime? Sure.…

There are so many things that I want to say about this and NEXT, so read both. Summary for S1: bland, non-expansive, spontaneous, and pretty plain and spineless. Despite how it made me laugh at times and how great the VAs are for this series, it's one of the most 5/10 anime's I've seen in a while.
NOTE: I'm trying to keep this ambiguous to keep it relatively spoiler-free, but maybe I'll post the full thing somewhere else.
So, I've heard about this anime for the longest time in regards to the harem/ecchi genres. I finally gave it a go along with season 2, despite season 1 ending on a bad note. While the show itself definitely has potential, they seemingly drug their feet and used the show as an episodic scenario tester with very basic progression towards the end of the season, where said…

story: 3/10. the concept of a club for making friends is interesting, but the way they executed it is mediocre. it's just your average, run-of-the-mill ecchi harem anime and nothing more. for a club that's based on making friends, none of the characters seem to like each other very much. hell, they don't even get along by the last episode. it's very frustrating to see. also, it's incredibly sexual, even with kobato and maria, who are 14 and 10, respectively. they've both appeared naked.
art: 7/10. I'll give it credit where it's due, the art style is nice, and it's animated decently.
sound: 3/10. I watched the english dub, and the voice acting is mid. sena and yukimura sound alright, kobato is eh, the rest suck. especially maria's; she sounds like a grown woman that's trying (and failing) t…

What do you get when you cross TMHS (Haruhi Suzumiya), Kokoro Connect, Love, Chinbuyo, and other Delusions, and Bunny Girl Senpai? You get this very fun and enjoyable series, Haganai. Plus there’s bits and pieces of several other anime as well, but I’m not sure if I would be just nitpicking, especially considering some of them were released years after this anime was. However, it’s not simply just a knock off of many different animes, though the episode titles appear to be just that. This will be less of a “rigid review” then some others, since a few other people have already done extensive reviews.
I really loved the artwork, it had a very unique style, and it made the characters look awesome! Especially the faces, and even more so with the girls in the series, very kawaii! What? As they…

Haganai, or its alternate long ass title is an ecchi with some genuine character study underneath its nudity and sexy undertones. If not for the latter, i would genuinely recommend the show for the good boys of the Christian community.
There was no anime subtrope more criticized than the ecchi cluster. Dismissed as guilty pleasure, adult series for teenagers, and lives in dies in the concept of sex. I for one delve in such sinful commune so that i learn what makes it tick. I never left.
Haganai takes you in the everyday lives of the Make-Friends club which has different members with varying mental and emotional conditions that make it difficult for them to establish friendship with other. So they band together in this half-assed club where they merely hang out and mess around with each…

I watched the anime in the English dub. SO! My review might become invalid with just that.
I have heard these actors before. I have. They can all turn in solid performances and in this one... they mostly talk like they are aware the script is bad and do not care, or in some cases, must have been sleepy. Voice acting aside!
This anime was uh... Fine. It won't break boundaries or make you hate your life and regret wasting time. It will however... Use uncomfortable subjects that rhyme with snape and nude 10 year olds to make you laugh. Does that sound painfully uncomfortable and not a good time? Well that is a portion of the jokes. The other portion? Name calling and throwing the word poop around! Yes! These are jokes that would make any 10 year old laugh! Except this is not the target audi…

I'm assuming that many of the people who have written reviews for this anime are people who regularly watch harem/ecchi anime. I am not of the sort.
The only reason I actually started this anime was because of that one video that went around last year from the second season's dub, where Sena had to say something funnily incestuous.
The first episode seemed a little boring, but the opening song was too catchy so I couldn't resist. It began to flow as more characters were introduced, each with their own unique personality:
The quiet but snarky girl, the princess, the fujoshi, the younger sister with the brother complex, the loli nun (people may get angry at me for saying this but come on. they sexualize her so subtly yet so noticeable), the trap maid who wants to be a samurai, and the MC.…

This show is awful. Dreadful. Irredeemably bad. I don't write reviews, but this show made me switch to the desktop MAL site on mobile just so I can dig through the UX deficient MAL UI to figure out how to write a review that nobody will ever read anyways.
This show isn't funny. At all. Unless you're the type to laugh at assholes in cringey, predictable situations. The writing is laughable and has the structure of wet cardboard. Apparently their idea of a good show is to stage predictably cringe-worthy situations in hopes of juicing out a small giggle from their viewer base. The problem with that is that their show just isn't funny, so it accomplishes nothing.
The only remarkable thing is the constant flashbacks to a mysterious childhood friend, except but not only is it entirely obvious…

This show was surprisingly decently hilarious. It definitely has the ecchi genre but it doesn't dwell on it too much. It's been a while since I've been presented with something that's harem and ecchi on one package and is actually something that's pretty edible.
Going through its plot, it's very standard and typical. Highschool students making a club then the club progressively growing on the number of members everybody having a unique type of personality and so on. Yet the pacing of the show is well thought out, From the first 3 episodes we are pretty much consuming appetizers. The show creates a relationship for the main characters first before moving onto the side supporting ones. Throughout the show we are introduced with the supporting characters one by one. And throughout the last…

very slow paced, not really that much depth into charecters also the events of things are not in order i kinda felt lost watching this, the minute u think they'de get into kodaka' x yozra story they don't ! they just wander off with some other non important event all that to the side , they introduced 3 charecters in one episode ?? ???? ????? at least let us get into the story and create a bond with the charecters ??
anyways i enjoyed the art and the so little tiny bits of yozora and kodaka's story thats in there also i kinda love-hate yozora's charecter but blinding all the cringe moments and icky situations loved her
