In the distant past, Miguel, the God of Destruction, was sealed inside the knight who ruled over light and darkness, Sturmhurt. Alongside the knight was Gestöber, who accompanied him through countless battles. In the present day, destiny causes them to reincarnate as Kabuto Hanadori and Seri Koyuki, two classmates.
Their reunion should be a joyous moment, if not for the fact that these fantasied heroes are just products of Kabuto's delusions. As the fictional "Gestöber," Seri finds himself in various embarrassing situations due to Kabuto's antics that sometimes grow out of his control. Moreover, his classmate Utsugi Tsukimiya joins the fray with his absurdly accurate mind-reading abilities, slowly destroying Seri's social life.
Seri tries hard to stay away from them, refusing to acknowledge their shenanigans, however with Kabuto's chuunibyou and Utsugi's unpredictability, he is only bound to be swept by the craziness coming his way.

As a fan of SOL anime, one of the things I look forward to is that one great comedy-focused anime that comes out every season and I'm glad to say I found it in this one. Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu is a very traditional comedy anime, it heavily focuses on punchlines as the main way of presenting its jokes yet somehow it doesn't get repetitive. At times it may seem overused but I never felt the need to close the episode or drop the anime while watching. On the contrary, I found myself laughing multiple times during certain episode and thatwas like a proof to me that I should finish it and I'm glad I did.
As this is a Comedy-focused anime, It doesn't really have a story so it has to depend on the characters to carry it. The characters are great I have to say, we have the MC who wants the peaceful life, the mind-reading sadist who enjoys tourmenting him and the chuunibyous that are the rest of the main characters. What I enjoyed about this cliche cast was that they weren't just chuunibyous, unlike lots of other anime characters with the same troops, these are much closer to reality. They feel embarrassed when they do dumb shit and people call them out for it, even Miguel has his cute childish and the "too embarrassed to talk to females" characterstics that made him stand out than the normal chuunibyou you see in other anime. To sum it up, the characters are unique. They don't feel repetitive despite presenting the same ideas done before in many different anime.
The fact this anime has very low focus on romance was nice. Lots of comedy anime get ruined when romance is involved and many use the romance as the source of the comedy and tho that idea isn't bad in itself, the execution of them leads mainly to either the "tsundere hitting the MC" type of humor and the "we feel on each other by accident" type so the fact the anime actually presents what little romance it has in a good way was nice to see.
The sound, voice actors, art and overall animation were great as well as the op.
Overall I would give the anime an 8/10. I hope to see more of it and to see more great comedy anime in general.
Would recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a relaxing comedy anime.

This anime is about 3 kids. 1 is like an upgraded version of Rika. And by upgrade I mean even more delusional, not better. He is in love with the supposed main character for some reason. The Main character is a masochist that likes to blame everyone for his shortcomings when he is the one to blame for having the temperament of a bob-omb. He almost literally explodes in fits of rage at the chuunibyou character. His indecisiveness makes him the most unlikable character in the show. Lastly there is the God of the show. He can hypnotize people with his eyes and read theMC's mind. He always uses this to pick on the MC. I was gunna say the MC probably enjoys it, but after thinking carefully he has anger issues and the people picking on him are an intelligent being who knows his everything and a clown who wishes he were Rika but needs to be in a hospital.
That being said watching this is kinda like watching NTR. You wanna feel bad for the victim (the one who is being stolen) but you know at the end of the story they actually enjoy whats happening then you wonder why you felt bad and end up hating them instead. Its like "enjoy it or shut the fuck up and stop complaining". Its just annoying. Hope this review sheds some light on why this anime is currently 6.75 and not the 8 some people seem to think this garbage deserves.
Like everything it has its moments but overall what a shit show.

To have a show like this mirror last season's surprisingly good Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy in all aspects (plot and character) and with 100% inspired accuracy, needless to say I'm always quite skeptical of the chuunibyou gag formula at the start, and come out feeling satisfied at the end. Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy did it to me last season, and this show is largely more of the same. The extents of Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy and this show play down the same game: a non-existent plot about the MC wanting to get some quietness out of life, and in comes the eccentric "otherworldly" boys playing around in their ownworld and messing the world's balance around with their antics, and finally the MC ropes in together with these boys in an unshakable bond of friendship.
Again, the characters are what makes shows like this so endearing, apart from all the ridiculous antics and comedy:
Koyuki Seri, nicknamed Gestober, the main attraction of the group, a plain-looking boy wanting to have some calmness in school, and always gets arrowed for insane reason he always "dies" in spirit at the end. Plus, his desire to have classmate Kotoko Sumiso notice his crush for her are always thwarted by (mostly) Hanadori. "RIP Koyuki" has been the recurring gag that never fails to make me laugh that hard. Props to VA Jun Fukuyama for doing such a wonderful job.
Kabuto Hanadori, the over-excessive chuunibyou, nicknamed Miguel, the dark God of Destruction. He's always performing alter-ego acts of chuuni so much that it irks Koyuki, but in truthness, wants to be Koyuki's friend and cares deeply for him...that is, unless he's asked to do in consideration.
Utsugi Tsukimiya the teaser and joker of both Koyuki and Hanadori. Always never-ceasing in spreading his "knowledge" to both of them and the constant low-ley teasing that ends both in hilarious states, he's the straight man to their inherent relationship.
As for Hibiki and Mogami, they're just as chuuni in their own ways, the former being a shy one and the latter trying his best to be noticeable at best and helping Koyuki out.
The best has got to be the bond between Tsukimiya, Hanadori and Koyuki and their endless antics that drive the comedy and the bond between Hanadori and Koyuki so well, and Tsukimiya being the "threat" to them both.
With great character comes great animation...in the comedic sense whilst keeping it low budget, and any studio would've been fine in this treatment. What's enough is more than enough, and with all those cartoony, slice-of-life caricatures, the enjoyment shines through. In the sound aspect, it's decent at best. The OP is as average as wack, but I love its bop and hoppity feel, say whatever you want but this is my hidden gem of a great song. AOP's ED...well, just sounds the typical idol group kind.
This show (like Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy) are shows that you can enjoy regardless of the score/rating, and if you need a time to flex your laughing stock and funny bones, it's worth the watch (plus a re-watch too).

Definitely a hidden gem. I actually almost missed this show because it had so little popularity within the currently airing anime. Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu is a great comedy show. The plot of the anime is nothing special: MC gets dragged along with a chuunibyou friend. This type of show has been done a bunch of times. But, why is it that something like Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai or Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy average or even below average, and this show, very good in my eyes? Well, I'd say that there are a lot of elements that make this show as goodas it is, but let's first talk about one of the most important things about a comedy show: the characters. The main character is not your white bread japanese MC with their only personality trait being "kind." He definitely has a depth of personality that you wouldn't normally see in a comedy anime. He's childish, dumb, selfish, easily tricked, and maybe doesn't appreciate his friends enough. All of this shows through in his monologue. There's definitely a lot of shows with monologuing like Bakemonogatari or Suzimiyah Haruhi. And definitely a few comedies that do the same, like Saiki K. However, Seri's monologue showcases his personality very well, and creates a great comedic effect off of it. His reactions and comments truly makes this show a lot more fun and interesting, and the show isn't shy to showcase it a lot. Seri's monologue is one of the defining factors of this show, and also one of the funniest. However, lets move onto the other main character: Hanadori. It's true that he starts off by being one of the most overused chuunibyou archetypes of all time but after he starts to interact with Seri and Tsukimiya, that archetype becomes secondary to his personality, and this is true with all of the characters in this show. While a lot of them seem to be very boring and only have a quirk/gimmick to them, they usually get explored a lot more than just that. This is something Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai or Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy fail to do. They just muddle about with their given quirks in uninteresting slice of life scenarios with predictable dialogue and reactions, thus making them extremely boring. Boku no Tonari has great characters, comedy, and a unique MC. Hanadori is shown to be extremely affectionate towards Seri, and you get to see him grow as a person, or at least, see him become something more than just "a guy with chuunibyou." Tsukuyima is actually one of the most unique characters right off the bat, and a necessary character for the story. He's shown to actually have mysterious powers of that like a God, and harasses Seri for no other reason than for his amusement. While he doesn't really progress as a character, you never find him boring. As for the side characters, I'll go over them real quick. Just like Hanadori, archetypal characters are generally given enough love to evolve beyond their single trait that they were given when introduced. However, I will admit. Some characters really are just what they look to be when they were introduced. It was probably the 12 episode time frame that this show was given that this had to be the case. I find that especially Mogami really got no screen time or dialogue beyond his typical lines that he always goes for. However, there is no real annoying characters, and Helius, Sumiso, etc, are all pretty good. They're also not overused that much, so the jokes about them don't get oversaturated. The author tries to keep things fresh.
Anyways, lets move on to the story. Some comedies sometimes shift their focus to more serious character development arcs, such as "why am I even hanging out with these guys," etc etc. Boku no Tonari is no different, but it's executed well. A lot of comedies fail to pass this hurdle. Boku no Tonari maintains a serious tone when needed, but also knows that it shouldn't be a show that should be taken that seriously. In the end you have well balanced character arcs where you get to know the character much more in a genuine fashion than a typical comedy show could offer without it being forced. The only other thing I wanted to comment about the story is that it focuses on comedy for the most part, while some shows love to focus heavily on the "slice of life" part for some reason. It's not even good when they do that. Boku no Tonari focuses on the comedy aspect, and thus, is not a half baked product that tries to execute both a slice of life and comedy.
Art...honestly, looking at the art objectively, it's very average, or even below average. That is, if you don't include the comedic aspects of it. What I mean are the facial expression of characters during scenes. As a comedy, having your animation blend in is very important, and Boku no Tonari gets a 10/10 on that aspect. Simple, yet effective and cute chibi figures, everything about the cat aesthetic that Seri has, and the other facial expressions and reactions are very reminiscent of a 4-koma comedy (which it obviously adapted off of), is amazing. While it may be something that you may brush off, the art and animation of these scenes definitely multiply the execution of dialogue and scenes.
All in all, It's a very good series with little to critique. I was honestly very surprised that it was at the bottom of the barrel of new airing shows, since it's probably going to be one of my favorites of the year. I hope this review makes you think about giving it a try.

This is my first time making a review and It’s because I don’t want people to think this anime is bad. I personally don’t understand why this is rated so low. This was one of the most wholesome and cute animes I’ve watched. The characters are not unique but they are still super cute in their own way! This anime made me laugh so hard and it gave me hardcore secondhand embarrassment. It was definitely a fun watch! I had my doubts because the first episode was not that nice, but this is the type of anime that grows on you. I felt like Koyukiwas mean at first and I didn’t like the way he treated Hidenori who was a precious little bean, but eventually you realize that Koyuki is just a sweatheart that’s tsundere! This a beautiful anime about friendship and I hope people would see that :) it’s also super funny and its a great anime to watch when you want to pass time.

When I first started Bokuhaka, I found it unexpectedly charming because Hanadori the hopeless chuuni wasn’t the one being ridiculed, it was his “normal” classmate Seri who tried his best to not go along with his ridiculous roleplaying. By virtue of not being a cruel comedy when it easily could have been, I figured I could add it to the pathetic single piece of paper that comprises my Anime Comedy Good Book. 12 episodes later, I’m not so confident. While the series does hand Seri the L in every situation, I find that by relentlessly doing so it actually loses the touch of kindness aseries like this could benefit from. Seri’s assumptions, even the wholesome ones – like his worries about Hanadori’s wellbeing, social or otherwise – are uno-reversed the same way his negative assumptions are. You could argue his self-sacrificing assumptions are driven by a sense of self-importance he shouldn’t have and him getting unwittingly checked by Hanadori or Tsukimiya is satisfying, but after the first time it just started to feel a little malicious. Even if Hanadori never means to insult Seri by rejecting his rare offerings of kindness or concern, it left me waiting for a pay off when he would accept and there would be some normal bonding moment uninterrupted by cynical comedy, but that moment never came.
I get that it’s funny that the times when Seri gives in and tries to be nice to his wildly annoying friends who are obsessed with him, that it backfires because haha, he thinks they’re obsessed with him! Except, they actually are...?
And so the usual episode format goes one of two ways:
1. Seri gets wrecked by his annoying friends who can’t leave him alone and he eventually snaps and yells at them for embarrassing him.
2. Seri gets wrecked by his annoying friends but something happens that makes him feel guilty about how he reacts, or causes him to worry about their well-being, and when he expresses these things it is revealed that he shouldn’t have, and he snaps and yells at them again for embarrassing him.
It does get tiresome to see the same formula again and again and again, and by the end of it, I was there in despair with Seri and wondering if he would ever escape his friends' tormenting. When Seri becomes more soft, it just backfires on him and the universe proves that he should stay cynical. When Hanadori reveals any other aspect of his character other than just being a chuuni, it’s backpedalled into him just being a chuuni actually. When Tsukimiya actually says something with an ounce of truth to it, he then twists it to be another part of his game of 4D chess he’s playing to make Seri suffer. And so it turns out there are consequences to making literally every scene a joke: nothing happens and no one changes.
It made for a rather insincere final impression, even if Hanadori and Seri are endearing… their endearing traits go nowhere because it wouldn’t be funny if they did. But it would be better.
Oh, and the side characters are either useless (Hibiki) or annoying (Tsukimiya and Mogami). Hibiki’s entire thing was just being unlucky and getting ignored by Hanadori and I found him easy to ignore as well. He really has no presence whatsoever after his introductory episode. I don’t care about Tsukimiya and him “being a God “ with literally supernatural abilities like being able to read Seri’s mind and always knowing where he is -- it just felt like Godmodding. I don’t get what’s “cool” about the kid that ruins a D&D session by rambling about how unexpectedly invincible his character is against the boss that should wreck him. And Mogami is just… a masochistic teen boy… really don’t care about a teen larper begging to be stepped on.
So considering we have an ensemble cast where only 2 characters have anything resembling development, and that development is caught in a perpetual state of Take-Backsies, I would say Bokuhaka deserves its middling score and rather poor reception, even if I enjoyed it more than the average critic. I didn’t find it cringeworthy, and I did find it funny enough, but there really is no substance. And I am not of the belief that comedy is magically exempt from expectation.

When I was looking through the seasonal anime list, this thing caught my eye. Why? Because I speak German and reading the ridiculous name (Miguel Offenbarung Dunkelheit) of one of the main character’s alter ego, I had to laugh, so I watched it. Now on to the review. This was a decent and rather wholesome anime. The main character, Koyuki aka. ‚Gestöber‘ is an average, boring guy. He just wants to live a normal life and study to reach his dream, but crazy chuunibyou kids won’t leave him alone. Very simple premise. Koyuki tries not to get involved with them, pities them, thinks they are childishand also the reason for his average/worsening grades. He blames those guys for everything going wrong in his life. The thing, though, is that those guys are actually doing quite well in their own lives, and it’s not that they want to make Koyuki’s life a living hell, but just want to be friends with him.
Throughout the series, Koyuki doesn’t seem to have any real friends, his grades were never good to begin with and his personality is plain (no hobbies or interests, he even has a Nice Guy moment in the show, cursing good looking people for no reason etc.) Despite all that, he can’t seem to appreciate the fact that people are trying to be there for him and put effort into making his life more fun - carefree days won’t last forever, right? He thinks he’s better than everyone without even realizing, he doesn’t really care about anyone (if he hurts somebody, he will make it up to them so he won’t feel guilty about it) yet he acts as if he didn’t need to be surrounded by childish idiots, even though really he is the child, not appreciating and accepting people (I mean, not once did he even wish for more normal friends or anything, he is completely self-involved)
Not a lot really stands out here, but I liked the fact that the ‚weird kids‘ were portrayed as the more normal or sane ones, if you think about it. Koyuki is a boring guy, but he seems bitter, even at his young age (bitter is not the same as depressed) but the other guys want to live life to its fullest, and involving Koyuki is kind of like their gift to them. They know that life is hard, but that’s exactly why they don’t want to give up entirely on their inner child, something Koyuki seems more than willing to do. Society, especially in Japan, can be really unforgiving, and while the chuunibyou kids strive to change the world, Koyuki won’t even waste a thought on things like that. Also, Koyuki is literally the only person who despises those kids, the rest of the class just laugh with them and play along with their phantasies, more or less.
Each time a new weird kid gets introduced, Koyuki acts as if it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Miguel to find a friend, although that is not the case at all. If anything, Koyuki should be thinking that way about himself.
The comedy was fine, obviously depending on your humor, you might find this show stupid or hilarious. As is often the case, especially with comedy, a lot got lost in translation (word plays, role-language etc.) Personally, I had to laugh quite a few times.
Rating it a 6 is not something bad. Keep in mind, it is still above average. It’s completely decent. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, maybe, but to some I would, yes. It’s not very ‚good‘ or original, but that’s OK, too. It’s good to relax sometimes.
Btw, I feel like maybe ‚cute‘ stories of friendship between guys aren’t very popular among the male demographic, maybe. Had this been a Manga/Anime about girls, more people would probably like it. That's just a thought.
Thank you for your time.

5 - There was something you enjoyed. Still a bit forgettable, but not a waste of time. This is honestly between a 5 or a 6, so Ill officially say 5.5 The story is sort of decent, but at times I just get bored. It's a comedy show, but it didn't really make me laugh too much. Somethings made me crack a smile, but I definitely wasn't laughing. There weren't any jokes that were good. It's just kind of eh. The characters are pretty cool though, yeah. I'll admit that. Each person has some quirkiness. I think the dynamic between the three main characters is pretty funny.It may have not directed in laughs, but the idea of it IS a solid one. Their interactions are solid.
I think this would probably do better as a manga. If you're into ridiculous situations where the main character is just flustered by his friends then the manga would likely be fine. I will say that it seems like this anime doesn't have an ending at all.
This review by me is really uninspired, but only because there is very little to say about this. It's just really average. Nothing particulary stands out, so its hard to talk bad about it, but also hard to talk good about it. If I'd had to put it short.
-Comedy is very lacking
-But the characters are decent.
-And the idea isn't bad.
-Anime format probably doesn't help.

at first, I thought this was a fantasy genre because I saw from the synopsis that I might not understand. but, after seeing it I think wrong, this is a comedy genre that makes me laugh in every episode. story: each episode has a funny story, although at first, I was a little confused with their characters after a long time I understood and laughed. art: the animations don't need to be doubted, I think it's good. sound: there is no bad sound from this anime, the voice from the character or, the background sound. Character: I like the character, the behavior, and appearance that sometimes shows the chibistyle makes them look funny. I like the chibi style from Hanadori Kabuto.
enjoyment: you will enjoy every story, in my opinion, the story is not boring, but more to the adorable, how you will be made exasperated by the behavior of Hanadori Kabuto aka sturmhurt.

When i went into this anime i didn't excepted a lot, as it's not a story written to be transcendend. It reuses tropes that are already known to be funny, the story is pretty blend, with the use of manzai comedy. I'd say the main character is not my favorite, as he seems very closed minded, compared to others characters ( Like the girl he pursues or his teacher ) So of these very colored characters who have a lot of interests, he seems to be like flour, a personnality that revolves around being too serious and cold, no club, don't seems to havea lot of hobbies either.
There is probably a lesson to get of all this, and that is that forcing yourself to get into the society shape will get you nowhere, and that being weird and having " weird hobbies " don't mean you are not intelligent, it's just a different way of thinking, and i think that Hanadori's character demonstrated it well through the season. He demonstrated multiple time that boys can be sensitive. Tsukimyia character ( even though he likes teasing his friends ) have been really supportive of his friends. These boys can be considered a little neurodivergent and what is cool is that we can see friends and acquaintances being supporting of them ( not everyone is, but that is reality )
Sound was pretty good, opening and ending was appreciable. Art is good, they made an effort to keep it pretty high quality.
Overall i'd say its a light anime to enjoy when you don't want to watch a big anime, like a snack between meal. The shortness of these are good. I kinda was happy to binge-watch it, but i probably won't remember it that much.

hands down one of the BEST anime i have ever watched. still don't understand why it got a low score :(. DEFINITELY MUST WATCH for the people who seeks light comedy anime THIS IS IT! my sis actually the one who told me to watch this and literally the first minute into the anime i just laugh my butt off. the characters are super likeable because they have their own uniqeness(?) and their own flaw. the art is sooo cuteee! applause for the animator for real. the story is great and overall it got a 10 from me. actually the only minus point ( IT'SNOT REALLY A MINUS POINT THO) this anime got from me is because they didn't continue the episode ;(( PLEASE SEASON 2 I BEG YOU! ( totally not trying to exaggerate my review and if you're not convince by my stupid review then please watch the anime :)) )

It wasn't good, it wasn't bad either. Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu is an show about tsundere protagonist and his friends that really like him for some reasons. Unfortunately, Kyouki Seri AKA Gestober doesn't reciprocate their feelings (at least in his mind). This whole anime is an endless circle in which Seri is trying to escape from his friends, but ends up with them anyway. Through all 12 episodes, we encounter various funny moments, in which the main character survives trough different traumatic situations (caused by his companions). Along the way, we can see some side plots, but the main focus ison Seri and hate he has for his friends.
And this is also a thing that i didn't liked in this anime. The whole plot is repeated over and over. Every episode is too much similar to the last one. Rarely we can see anything other that Seri yelling at his friends. Every episode is like a loop.
-Seri is at home or school
-Seri meets his friends
-His friends are doing something that upsets him
-Seri is yelling at everyone
-Seri promises himself that he will never talk to his annoying friends again
-Repeat
The only thing that changes, is the amount of his friends because we meet more of them as the show continues. If they weren't there, i would probably fall asleep because of this never-ending loop. But they were, and they made this anime a lot more interesting.
Secondary characters are pretty interesting and really funny, thanks to them we have something new in this anime. Mogami is definitely my favorite character, and in my opinion he is the funniest one. But other characters like Kimiya also were really funny. I enjoyed every moment in which i could see them on the screen. But sadly, the main trio has the most attention and others were just supporting the main, repetitive plot. It's a pity that we haven't seen much backstory of secondary characters, because in my opinion, they were carrying this whole anime.
Summarizing, Boku no Tari is an anime in which you don't have to think too much. It has a lot of problems, but the show is still enjoyable. Surely, there is a lot of better light comedies that i could recommend more, but in it's pure comedy aspect, Boku no Tonari was pretty funny.
