History YMMV / RascalDoesNotDreamOfBunnyGirlSenpai

** It also has a less intense one with [[LightNovel/Bakemonogatari]] due to both series having a similar premises but different executions with fans debating whether Mongatari's cynical surrealism or Rascal's idealistic but grounded approach is better.

* FandomRivalry: A nasty, ''nasty'' one with [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi fans]] on Website/FourChan. ''Do not'' mention Mai as the better [[PlayboyBunny Bunny Girl]] there, or the Haruhi fans ''will'' go after you.

* SpiritualSuccessor: As many anime fans often see "Bunny Girl Senpai" as ''the son of "LightNovel/BakeMonogatari" and "LightNovel/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected"'', Mai is often thought to be ''the daughter of Senjougahara and Yukino''. However, it should be noted that, despite some similarities, Mai is a lot nicer than the other two. All of them are snarky and witty girls, but while Mai is friendly and pure-hearted, and just teases Sakuta, Yukino really starts as a GoodIsNotNice abrasive and haughty lead female, while Senjougahara is a rather selfish kind of UnscrupulousHero with a {{yandere}} streak, and undoubtedly the meanest of the trio.

* ToughActToFollow: The Nodoka Toyohama arc, ''Rascal Does Not Dream of an Idol With a Sister Complex'', is considered by the fanbase to be the weakest of the arcs adapted into anime. While not a BaseBreakingCharacter, fans found Nodoka's jealousy of her sister not to carry the same depth that the other heroines did. Definitely doesn’t help that she’s immediately followed by _Kaede’s_ arc, which has been widely praised as the biggest TearJerker arc of the entire series.
