I did not find it funny past a certain point. For the first three episodes the show revolves around the mistaken delinquent and the two "heroines" of the series - Yozora and Sena. These episodes for the most part were quite sharp, and as Sena and Yozora's antics grew and grew, Kodaka's role as the straight man would be stressed further and further.
It's a bitter reality, but Haganai is just another generic ecchi harem. The craziness gets to much out of hand and amidst all the chaos you lose the ability to sympathize with any of the characters. Thank goodness the nun got naked! That sure helped alleviate tension! The characters are too unbelievable for an anime that tries to deal with an actual issue. It's about a group of freaks trying to become friends, except said group is so eccentric that such personalities could never exist. There is no insight into any of the characters of the show save Yozora and Sena, and the little that is given into them is so cliché and sparse that it's hard to separate Haganai from the thousands of other ecchi anime's. It is a shallow production laden with offensive language and poop jokes. And not the good kind of poop jokes, just repetitions of the word "poop". The show struggles with trying to be realistic whilst adding so many unrealistic elements it just became frustrating.
