Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl short review

This movie is pain ..painful..

But finally dots of mystery are connected from part 1 and part 3

But so much pain..for Sakuta ,Mai and shoko

Which make me anticipating in part 4 regarding Mai

I hope it does not bring pain as this movie plus confusion of past ,present and future.

So does this mean shoko san live?? I guess. Or makinohara..she really outdo the pass many times I guess.

Will post many scene from the movie so watch out spoiler

Ratings : 5🎄/5⛩️

Bcoz the pain and love share the same amount but again why no kiss

When I'm fedup with bs

[regarding-stories]

Didn't expect that: "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"

There are shows on Netflix that I notice, then don't watch at first, remain confused by their descriptive text, then watch after all. It kind of was like this with the amazing Romantic Killer, and it was definitely like this with the Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.

I somehow stumbled about some online comments disliking the series, and let it sit for a while. But somewhere down the line I was casting about for something to watch, and frankly, it completely surprised me.

(I will do some spoilers, but I try to keep it light. Also, looking for an article I wrote about Romantic Killer I found I haven't written one - talk about being backlogged!)

My Little Science Mystery

At its heart, the show looks at consciousness and self partially from a perspective of quantum physics and mathematics, focusing on aspects like attention, observation, strong wishes, parallel selves, and branching timelines. To get such topics into the story it invented "Puberty Syndrome / Adolescence Syndrome," a mysterious condition most people believe to be an internet urban legend. Except that almost everyone that loner and high school 2nd year Sakuta knows or ends up knowing will end up having it - if they're girls, that is. Or himself.

To explain what that is, let's go with the opening scene. Future heroine Mai, an extremely good-looking third-year (and hence Sakuta's senpai in high school), walks around the library in a Playboy bunny costume, unnoticed by most everyone except our protagonist. This seemingly eccentric scene from the trailer has a serious background - an increasing number of people cannot see Mai anymore.

Sakuta teams up with Mai and his hot science geek friend Rio to solve the mystery, digging into the relationship between the observer and the observed from quantum mechanics - or rather the idea from philosophy: If a tree falls in the forest without anybody seeing it, has it indeed happened? (And what sound does it make?) This leads of course to also very practical problems: You need other people to observe you to interact in daily life. And it begs the question - if our reality is a consensus, do we need the acknowledgment of others just to exist...?

The show, behind its science-y techno babble, actually has a lot of heart. The problems all root in emotions, interpersonal problems, and their resolutions are often very dramatic and touching. This is true of Mai's story as of the other ones to follow.

Some things to note

First of all: the series name. Each book in the light novel series has a title starting with "Rascal Does Not Dream Of" - but somehow the anime series got named after the first installment. This is most apparent once the money-making train rolled out of the station - instead of continuing the apparently successful anime series, the very dramatic events of two volumes were packed into two animated movies (mo' money! kaching!) - Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out. I had not access to these so I read the books.

The books, in turn, are very readable, and given their content, these two movies are some heavy, dramatic shit, no doubt. The series heavily escalates its dramatic impact towards these two titles. In fact, you could say the books rolled into the anime series are actually a setup of characters and ideas that will culminate in these movies. (Which will also invest you into watching them. Well played, studio, well played indeed.) Sakuta's own Puberty Syndrome, that of his sister Kaede, the mystery stranger Shouko, all of that is set up long before you ever really pick up on it, revealing a series that had a long-term plan.

The books are good reads, solid prose, too. The pacing of these two particular books is kind of dragging, but the author really wanted to transmit the heavy emotions of the protagonist. They certainly had me near my limit! The story of Mai, Sakuta, and his first love Shouko is beautiful, sad, dramatic, and ultimately very, very satisfying - and I don't want to spoil it for you! Just know that if you only watch the anime and I guess the movies, you're probably in for feeling very rewarded and satisfied - after a certain amount of suffering. (Again, couldn't watch the movies, but the book version is already top.)

Having started with the anime, I can only guess that the term "rascal" is what they translated differently when Rio keeps calling him a "pig." Somehow she always insults Sakuta (throughout the anime series), and admittedly Sakuta has a pervy side - but unlike most protagonists he seems to be a bit of a happy masochist when it comes to his love interest.

Anyway, the show and books are well worth it, the cast of characters is built over time and well done, and innocuous background details presented in the start will be the seed of more stories to come. The series is going strong, there are still untranslated light novel volumes, and so I will keep on reading.

Why I Stopped Watching These Romance Animes

Disclaimer!! Just my opinions 

Kaguya-sama Love Is War

This is probably going to upset some people but I just couldn’t get into it. I was so bored watching it, it has some cute moments for sure but there was something about it that I just did not like. Its not your typical romance I guess, and usually I’d be all over something like this but it did not do it for me. I honestly don’t even know what to say because it wasn’t bad, it was just super boring in my opinion and I wish I got the hype about it and I wish I liked it.

My Little Monster 

Okay, I can understand why people enjoy Love Is War, but this anime is one that I just can’t get behind. I literally stopped watching after I think the second episode because I was kind of flabbergasted at the ML. Its giving toxic, it’s giving abusive, and I just could not understand why people like him? Like sure he’s attractive I guess, but damn if some man did any of that to me I would think he’s trash. The amount of whiplash she must be feeling because of him is wild. Also lets not forget about the threats that he made about him R wording her, like what the actual fuck. So yeah, my overall thoughts are that this anime sucks and I don’t even care that I didn’t watch the full thing to make that judgement.

Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai

Do I really have to explain? This shit was the most boring and repetitive anime that I have ever watched ( actually that may not be true but it’s fine ) I just started watching it because it was all the hype at the time and my friends were watching it. I think I only made it to episode four, and It was truly painful. Overrated as fuck and the plot isn’t even all that great, his love confession was probably the only redeemable thing about it. Also I don’t care for fan service animes that much so all around this anime was just not for me.
