Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools, and he's having a hard time making friends. It doesn't help that his blond hair tends to make people think he's a delinquent. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she's talking animatedly to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting.
That is how "Rinjinbu", The Neighbours' Club, was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don't have very many friends. As other lonely classmates slowly join their little club, they'll try to learn how to build friendships through cooking together, playing games, and other group activities. But will this group of relationship-challenged misfits really be able to get along?

Where it came from
Haganai: Episode 0, also known as the 'Add-on Disc', was released in 2011 by studio AIC Build as a special OVA episode bundled with the seventh volume of the original light novel series. This release served as a bridge and promotional companion to the concurrent television anime adaptation, which focused on the Neighbors Club, a group formed by social outcasts to practice interpersonal skills. The episode was designed to capture the series' signature blend of character-driven comedy and the inherent awkwardness of its central group, setting the tone for the subsequent series.
The animation and character designs for this project were spearheaded by the creative team at AIC Build, who sought to translate the light novel illustrations into a cohesive animated aesthetic. The production aimed to lean into the 'misunderstood loner' archetype that defined the franchise's popularity during the early 2010s. While it was primarily intended for dedicated fans of the light novel, the OVA was well-received within the anime community for successfully maintaining the visual and tonal consistency of the main series while providing additional context for the club's formation.
