Together they handle the clubs first request from Yui Yuigahama, who wishes to make cookies for someone. While Yukino’s method fails, Hachiman manages to fulfill her request.

Afterwards Yui gives Hachiman and Yukino cookies as thanks. Yui then insists she can help with the club and befriends the current Service Club members.

At lunch, Hachiman observes Yui’s failed attempts to break away from Muira, in order to have lunch with Yukino. Yukino shows up and demands to know why Yui is late, but understands once Yumiko makes herself known. Yukino argues with Yumiko and then waits outside. While outside, Yukino and Hachiman listen to Yui telling Yumiko how she really wants to be treated.

After school Yoshiteru Zaimokuza shows up at the club with and requests they review his light novel. That evening Hachiman has a flashback about his accident.

The following day the Service Club and Yui give feedback to Zaimokuza, resolving his request.

The following day, Hachiman pairs up with Saika for tennis who asks Hachiman to join the Tennis Club. Unsure of what to do, Hachiman asks Yukino for advice. Yui shows up with Saika who requests that the club help him with tennis practice.

During practice Yumiko and her posse show up and demand to use the court. Hayama Hayato and Yumiko challenge Hachiman and Yui to a tennis match with the winner being able to use the court and help Saika practice.

As Yumiko and Hayato steadily gain lead, Yui sprains her ankle but gets Yukino as her replacement. Yukino dominates the game until her stamina runs low. She entrusts the game to Hachiman, who is able to win the match. Yukino leaves with Yui while Saika thanks Hachiman. As Hachiman returns to the club room, he walks in on Yui and Yukino changing and is knocked out with a tennis racquet.

At school, Hachiman is reprimanded by Shizuka for his «Workplace Visit Survey» where he tries to justify becoming a «house-husband».

At the Service Club, Yui and Hachiman receive a mysterious chain text spreading vulgar rumours about Hayato’s clique. Hayato requests that the Service Club stop the text from circulating.

They realize that the texts are connected to the upcoming three-person-per-group Workplace Visit. Hayato’s clique has four people, one of them is spreading the rumors to get someone knocked out of the group. After some observation, Hachiman explains to the Service Club that he doesn’t know who the culprit is, but solves the case by suggesting that Hayato have the members of his clique group-up and get to know each other better, which seems to work.

Hayato groups with Hachiman along with Saika for the Workplace Visit.

Later, Hachiman runs into Yukino, Yui and Saika having a study session at a cafe and are joined by Komachi and her friend Taishi Kawasaki. Taishi explains to them that he is worried about Saki and asks for help.

The Service Club try and fail using various methods to approach Saki. Later on, the Service Club discover that Saki works nights at a cafe.

One night the Service club goes to confront her. Yukino and Saki argue about their different family circumstances. Hachiman asks Saki to meet him after her shift.

The following morning, Hachiman reveals to the group that Saki is working to fund her summer school tuition. To help Taishi, Hachiman tells Saki about scholarships.

As Hachiman and Komachi walk home, Komachi reveals that the owner of the dog he saved is Yui.

This prompts Hachiman to cut his ties with Yui at the end of the Workplace Visit, believing that she was only nice to him out of guilt. Upset by his words, Yui runs off.

Hachiman ends with a monologue explaining that a loner such as himself might misunderstand feelings of girls when they are nice to him, so rather than fall for that «trap», he will always reject them.

Shizuka shows up after school and requests that they find another member. Yukino tells Hachiman that she would like to get Yui to rejoin the club by celebrating her birthday.

That weekend, Yukino, Hachiman and Komachi go shopping to find presents for Yui. Komachi disappears and then they are confronted by Haruno. After Haruno leaves, a dog runs up to them and starts playing with Hachiman. Yui shows up behind them and mistakes them for being on a date. She collects her dog and hurriedly makes to leave, Yukino asks her to visit the club on Monday.

On Monday, Yukino thanks Yui for all that she did for the club and gives her the birthday present. Hachiman also produces a present for her, and refers to their last encounter at the «Workplace Visit». Yukino then helps repair their relationship.

Yukino leaves to inform Shizuka that Yui has returned to the club. Yui thanks Hachiman and runs off happily.

At camp, Hachiman and Yukino notice Rumi Tsurumi being shunned by her classmates.

During lunch, they observe Hayama’s failed attempts to talk to Rumi. She walks away towards Hachiman and Yukino. After introducing themselves, Rumi explains her situation.

At dinner, the Sobu High students discuss Rumi’s circumstances and try to come up with ways to help her.

Later, Hachiman, goes for a walk and finds Yukino stargazing. Yukino reveals her feelings and talks a little about her and Hayama’s pasts.

As Hachiman looks at the stars, Rumi is seen squatting alone by the riverbank.

Hachiman finds himself working alone and heads to the river to cool off. He finds everyone else playing in the water. Hachiman is joined by Rumi, Yukino and Yui and they further discuss Rumi’s situation.

As the Sōbu High group prepares for the ‘test of courage’, Hachiman tells them his plan. His plan does not work properly as Rumi helps the other girls instead.

Afterwards nothing seems to have changed, other than the girls are not bullying Rumi outwardly.

Hayato talks to Hachiman about his feelings, past, and their «friendship».

When the group returns to school after camp, Haruno shows up in a limousine to pick Yukino up. As they leave, Yui and Hachiman recognize it as the limo that hit Hachiman. They don’t see Yukino for the rest of summer break.

As thanks, Yui invites Komachi to the upcoming Fireworks Festival. Komachi declines but sends Hachiman instead.

At the festival, Hachiman and Yui are buying items for Komachi when they encounter Minami and her clique.

As the fireworks start Haruno spots them and invites them to the VIP section. As the three sit and watch the fireworks, they discuss their relationships with Yukino.

After the fireworks, Haruno offers to take Hachiman and Yui home in her limo, they decline despite Hachiman’s words that he isn’t bothered by the past accident.

Later, Yui asks Hachiman if Yukino had ever told him about the accident to which he negatively replies. He mentions they shouldn’t pry. Yui seems happy and believes they would be friends even without the accident. As the discussion takes a romantic turn, Yui is interrupted by a call from her mother and hurries off.

School resumes the next day and Hachiman and Yukino run into each other. Finally Hachiman ends with a monologue explaining that he hates himself for believing his own ideal of Yukino, because just like any ordinary person, she too lies.

At the committee meeting, Minami nominates herself to be its president.

Minami visits the Service Club and asks for their assistance in running the festival committee. Yukino solely accepts, upsetting Yui who makes Hachiman look out for her.

Yukino, as the vice-president, outshines Minami with her understanding and management of the festival.

Haruno shows up at the committee and applies to be a part of the festival. Yukino’s declines, but Minami approves. She also accepts Haruno’s offer to be a volunteer.

Minami starts to shirk her duties and the remaining committee have to work harder, with Yukino taking on most of the extra work.

Hayato and Meguri grow concerned over Yukino’s division of work, but Hachiman makes them believe she can handle it. Yukino takes most of the work home and the following day fails to show up at school because of a cold.

The following day, the committee tries to decide on a theme for the festival. Hachiman indirectly teases Minami’s suggestion, and counters with his own, which subtly points out the committee members slacking off from their duties.

The next day, the committee comes out in force with Yukino continuing to take charge. Haruno explains how Hachiman’s stunt made him an enemy of the committee and if he works harder, that would motivate everyone else to unite and surpass him.

As the festival starts, Minami falters in her opening speech with a bit of stage fright. Hachiman goes to oversee Hina’s play which turns out to be a huge hit.

While taking a break, Yui brings Hachiman lunch and they discuss how to best get closer to Yukino. After they eat Yui indirectly asks Hachiman out, which he realizes.

Meanwhile, depressed with her inability to do anything meaningful for the festival, Minami locks herself in the bathroom.

On stage, Haruno entertains the audience with her orchestra. As the closing ceremony approaches, Meguri reports that Minami is missing. The group decides to stall for time while Hachiman searches the campus for her.

Hachiman eventually finds Minami atop the laboratory roof. Hayato and Minami’s clique show up to get her, although she refuses to budge. Hachiman antagonizes her into action by being hurtful.

After the festival, everyone shows mixed reactions on Hachiman’s course of action.

That evening, at the Service Club room, Hachiman and Yukino discuss how far they’ve come, with Yukino hinting that they’ve become friends.

Yui shows up at the club to invite them for an after party hosted by Hayato.

At the sports committee meeting everyone brainstorms ideas for events, Shizuka shoots them all down. Hachiman suggests that they call in Yoshiteru and Hina who are better with creative work.

As the festival begins, the white team takes the lead over the red team thanks to Hayato’s athletics. Yukino is able to help the red team catch up by winning the girls event.

For the boys event, Hachiman executes a plan involving himself and Yoshiteru, which seems to work.

The next day, Yukino reveals that the red team was disqualified because Hachiman’s plan was considered cheating. As things return to normal, Hachiman concludes by pondering that they will make the most of their high school lives until it reaches an end.

After school Shizuka recruits the Service Club to help her prepare a magazine to promote «Love and Marriage» to teenagers.

Hachiman and Yukino start brainstorming ideas, but they admit they are both clueless when it comes to relationships. However Yui suggests that they conduct a marriage survey. The surveys aren’t any help, which prompts Yukino to call in Komachi who has a «similar» experience when taking care of Hachiman.

Komachi suggests that they refocus the project on how to be a better wife and has Shizuka, Yui and Yukino compete in contests she makes up. The contest is comprised of a cook-off, a bridal quiz contest, and a who looks best in a bridal dress contest.

Afterwards the Service Club starts preparing the magazine. As Hachiman prepares his article, he writes that since no amount of preparation can really prepare someone for the unforeseen future, he advises female readers to stake their claim on their desired husbands since everyone deserves the right to be happy.

Season 2

The 2nd season’s animation is noticeably very different from the first season. The reason being production was handled by Studio «feel.» instead of «Brain’s Base», who did Season 1.

With the only other club member being the beautiful ice queen Yukino Yukinoshita, Hachiman finds himself on the front line of other people’s problems—a place he never dreamed he would be. As Hachiman and Yukino use their wits to solve many students’ problems, will Hachiman’s rotten view of society prove to be a hindrance or a tool he can use to his advantage?

Not everyone of course has had this experience, but it’s certainly something that people experience. And so this is what Yahari Ore does best, it gives us a perspective of those in school who have been rejected so much, they decide to play by their own rules, and that of course is excluding everyone else from the game. Afterall, it’s much easier to get on by when you only have yourself to rely on.

This anime doesn’t preach to the audience. And certainly, the view points of these characters are sometimes flawed. But it’s an interesting look at how some people deal with their failure to connect to others (or rather, what can happens to someone when people reject and shut them out). Yahari Ore also looks at it from the other perspective, and isn’t trying to paint one side as the victim/aggressor. We get a look at how mean and cruel we can be to each other when trying to fend for ourselves by fitting to the status quo. But this is true of both the rejected and those that reject.

At its core this show is very funny. The MC’s biting sense of humor and harsh views of the world is hilarious (even if it always has an underlining seriousness to it). And to be clear, this isn’t a serious drama. However, my praise focuses so much on the serious elements of the show, because I think that is what elevates this to a truly great Anime vs. a typical comedy. There is a lot of truth to this show, and it feels very realistic. Through the lens of the MC’s harsh view on the world, we get a deep look at social behaviors and how often everyone is just trying to be something that won’t be shunned from the pack.

If you are someone looking for a romance anime to watch, this might not be it. The romance in this anime isn’t non-existent, it’s actually well written in a realistic manner (it doesn’t fall into the typical tropes). However, if you are looking for romance with a lot of action, then you might be let down. The romance in this anime is more about feelings, and how they can grow towards others. This is to say, the romance feels like something special here, but you will not get any closure or sweeping action between specific characters (maybe later in the LN or if we get a season 2). Although I don’t think that’s what this anime is about, as ultimately its focus is more on how people internally deal with their emotions, and the fear of sharing them with others.

Yahari Ore is an example of why comedy is such a great asset to art. Comedy allows us to look at aspects of life that aren’t always good and allows us to examine the darker aspect of our humanity, and laugh while also getting a better understanding of it. Yes, this is a comedy that is for the most part, snarky, sarcastic and deadpan. But it’s also a very interesting perspective on how we treat other people, and how those that don’t fit in, (or those that choose not to play the game and try to fit in), deal with a world that heavily relies on being social.

My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected. But my expectations were not.
Spring “blesses” us with yet another highschool anime about a guy who comes into contact with a bunch of girls in a school club.

What started out generic also ended generic and nothing of value has been gained.
It’s not only sad for the industry but also sad for Brains Base to produce such a subpar work, when in the past they were responsible for great shows like Baccano and Mawaru Penguindrum.

If it doesn’t have a story, does it have anything else to offer?
Yes and no.
While shows without story have normally things like, great artwork, soundtrack, interesting characters, settings or concepts. None of this was found in Yahari, the jokes were sometimes funny and sometimes you didn’t care. I was wondering why I am even watching this anymore as it was clear nothing was going on. It revolved around the same thing the entire time without any clear path to go. Stumbling from one boring school event to the next it felt so dragged out and couldn’t keep me interested.

Even for its genre it did nothing new or groundbreaking. There are a lot of better shows similar to Yahari that were at least enjoyable to watch.

It all boils down to Hachiman, the anti-social protagonist with witty comments on the insignificance of school life and school friends. While at first I liked his cynical view on his surroundings as it reminded me of my own view on school life, it became very dry at some point as it was the same thing over and over.
He showed no real progression and he alone is not enough to save this anime.

Yukino was the other half decent character, she also had a very cynical outlook on life but was a more honorable student than Hachiman. Her personality though stagnated and became boring after a while. Besides being cruel and insulting she had nothing else to offer.

Yui was a possible love interest for the MC but the show decided to just leave that alone and make absolutely nothing with it. She is just a naive girl and totally bland and boring. Like the rest of the support characters.

Saika was the only one who had an entertaining interaction with the MC but only because of the homosexual tension. Besides that he was a personality less trap just for fan-service.

You know, if you have no story to offer then please offer an interesting cast. Yahari has only one interesting character and that is not enough to keep me interested and entertained for 13 boring episodes.

Art and Animation:

You know how well Baccano was animated? The surreal art style Mawaru Penguindrum had? Or the pretty colors in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun?
Well Yahari had absolutely nothing like that.
It looked so cheap, the character designs were pretty generic and bad executed. The surrounding were so boring to look at, it had no special effects or interesting artistic treats for the eye.

Yahari looked just really really generic to borderline bad. I’m confused how Brains Base could produce such a cheap looking show.

Really it fails already in 3 categories, no story, boring character and cheap look.

But it doesn’t stop there. The overall soundtrack in Yahari is so forgettable, even bad at points. It’s just such run of the mill music that plays in the background without sticking out for a second.

The voice acting is good as usual, I would have face palmed if they would have fucked that up as well.

The opening is terrible and I always skipped it, the ending song is just as bad.

Four Strikes. Yahari what are you doing?

As you’d guess from my previous sections, yahari couldn’t keep me enjoyed through the course of 13 episode.
While I didn’t hate it (because then I’d have dropped it without a second thought). I just felt really bored at some point and just finished it so I had it finished.
Here and there it was funny and even entertaining. The start was pretty okay as well, but around the middle it just dropped deeper and deeper into insignificance. Such a boring show, it didn’t even had potential it wasted, it was wasted right from the start.

(Story) Content 3/10

Art and Animation 5/10

Artstyle 0 (generic and boring)
Quality 0 (not impressive)
Background 0 (boring backgrounds)
Character Designs 0 (bad executed and bland looking)
Visual Effects 0 (simple)

Yahari does nothing new or good in the romcom genre. it’s yet another school anime with an antisocial main character forced to interact with a bunch of girls. The events were mundane, the side characters annoying, art and sound below average. Truly a show not worth of any ones time.
If you want to watch an enjoyable RomCom try Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun made by the same studio last year. It’s not really great or anything, but by far better than Yahari.
Or why not try out really good ones like ToraDora or Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojou by JC Staff. Even Kyoto Animations Hyouka has more to offer and a similar cool main character.

«Some walks you have to take alone.»

Characters: Here was the biggest «fuck yeah» moments I’ve ever had. The characters in this show were phenomenal. Let me explain: from start to finish, how they started off as, how they developed, and the amazing interaction between the characters, especially Hikki and Yukinoshita, were just amazingly done. There really isn’t a show I enjoyed more than this based solely on character development. Gotta love the bantering back and forth.

Truly, there are some gems of knowledge we can all learn from. Hikki, pessimistic and messed as he may be, truly understands the world far better than most of the other characters in the show. Despite his twisted views on life, he tries his best to help others. Not always in the nicest way, but definitely in a way that is effective. Throughout the show, there was nothing more captivating than listening to Hikki’s thought process and views on life.

After finishing the show, that quote really hit me. Not so much about what it meant, but that quote truly was something that describes Hikki so very well. He truly understands the meaning of «walking alone» and just doing what needs to be done.

Basically, I gave this show a 9/10. I couldn’t part to give it anything higher because despite how much I liked it, there were some parts that I couldn’t enjoy (like my subjective views on the art and stuff but anyway). Despite all that, and minor details, it was a show I thoroughly enjoyed. Don’t let the long name fool you, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, or «My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected», or Oregairu. Whatever you may call it, this show truly is one worth watching.

I don’t know about you, but my high school years were… not very exciting. I spent a lot of time by myself, reading in the corner of the classroom or somewhere quiet in the library at lunch. I had a group of friends, yeah, but there were only a few that I’d ever really talk to. Even then, I’d always decline if they ever asked me to go out somewhere, telling them about how busy I was or how I “had other plans”.

It’s been almost a year since I graduated and I’ve… moved on… since then, but I’d be lying if I said it’s all just in the past. When we graduated, that was that – some of us went to the same university, some didn’t. I ended up cutting ties with most of those who didn’t, and I still don’t find myself talking a whole lot with those who did. But, hey, at the very least I’ve come to realise how silly I used to be, trying to stay away from people like the plague – it’s all just a natural part of growing up, and only now did I get the chance to finally join the club.

OreGairu understands this. All of it. Everything. You see it in the slight furrow of Hikigaya’s brow as his head rests on his palm, eyes brooding over to the noisiest parts of the classroom. You see it in the droop of his shoulders, hands finding solace where his trouser pockets were, as his bag bounces in perfect rhythm to each of his slow, dreary steps. OreGairu knows what it’s like to sit in that corner of the classroom, by yourself, never talking, with you finding your mouth a little stale when it’s time to leave because it’s been closed for so long. It’s just that OreGairu… does not think these things are silly.

People are weird. We say one thing when we mean the opposite, we’re quick to find flaws but we’re not quick to trust. We’re nasty for the sake of nastiness, and we’re still all sorts of vicious to others even when we don’t know it. People are complex and hard to understand, incredibly strange and all sorts of unpredictable – no one plays by exactly the same rules, and we will never reach a perfect understanding of each other no matter how hard we try. I’m with Hikigaya on this one: why do we still keep trying to get caught up in this mess when we know it’ll just cause us all sorts of problems later?

…Or that’s what I’d be saying a year ago, at least. Because to someone like Hikigaya – someone like me, in the past – we can’t explain why people find themselves inevitably drawn to each other anyway.

Because to OreGairu, you don’t need to.

It’s how when you strip away all of his self-defeating cynicism and hateful snark, Hikigaya is actually a pretty ordinary teenage boy, with all the same desire, jealousy, and fear as any other. We see it when he’s with Komachi: he’s not with the outside world anymore, he’s with someone he knows. He’s calm, he’s open, and she listens while he lets out all of his deepest wounds, all of his most buried secrets. It’s no surprise, of course, when they’re family – they’ve been there for each other for fifteen years, and they’ll be there for another fifteen more. Hikigaya says he lives the way he does because he has no other choice, but that’s not true – he lives the way he does because he doesn’t trust the world enough to share himself with it, to share the Hikigaya that banters so naturally and playfully with his little sister.

But it’s a slow process. OreGairu only manages to give us a vague eventuality, a “one day he’ll change” kind of thing, because it takes actually spending time with your closest friends to realise how far you’ve managed to distance yourself from them in the first place. Hikigaya’s finally starting to open himself up to the world, even if just a little, and through OreGairu we see how that can have profound effects on other people. Even then, he still doesn’t get anything more from those who aren’t close to him than a “you’ve kinda changed”, with them finding him only slightly less boring to look at. Because… that’s how it is. Because it’s the small things like that that show how, someday, maybe when he’s dusting off one of his old yearbooks he found in his garage, he’ll be able to look back on this moment as just an embarrassing memory – when he could say he was more open, honest, and true to himself than ever before.

My birthday’s coming up in a few weeks. I’ve never been to many parties, but maybe I’ll invite a few people to a movie or something. I know I won’t change in a week, and I certainly won’t change tomorrow, but in a year, maybe two, I might not be saying the same. OreGairu gave me a chance, and I’m not letting it go. But I can thank it later. For now, it’s time to turn OreGairu off – I have some old friends to catch up on.

A sequel to any anime always presents a challenge to both the creators and viewers of the show simply because the creators have to produce something better then what it started with in order to satisfy the majority of people that wished for that second season and the viewers have to decide whether or not the sequel lives up to the expectations that they wished for (In this case 2 years ago).

Story: While most high school anime focus primarily on romance, drama, or comedy, Zoku balances the 3 elements and incorporate each to make a show that isn’t over saturated with love triangles or clueless airheads that can’t take a hint. What is also phenomenal about the show is the realism that it portrays as we take the perspective of Hikigaya and dive into his life as a ordinary high school student who just wishes to be alone. The story focuses primarily on the troubles and tribulations of high school life whether it be helping a friend with social anxieties or assisting the student council president in daily activities. It takes these everyday problems that students have to deal with and creates these situations where Hikigaya is forced to cooperate. What grasped my attention the most is how Hikigaya deals with these situations that he is presented with and what he does to resolve these problems through is own personal beliefs and the experience he has gained by observing society and the fake attitudes that people conceal behind a mask of popularity and social status. What drives the show and makes it worthwhile is to see how Hikigaya handles these situations along with his fellow club members and the sudden shifts, turns, and drops this emotional roller coaster of a show throws at you as you try to discover the «Real Things’ this show truly offer.

Characters: At the time you’re reading this I can safely assume that you watched the first season of the show and have a general understanding of how our 3 main characters act and behave so I can make this short and simple. Let’s start with our main protagonist Hikigaya Hachiman, If you haven’t seen the first season then I advise you to go to that now because Hikigaya can be described in one word and that is Pragmatic. Hikigaya always takes things at face value and honestly doesn’t care about what people think. He’s anti social in a way that he wishes to be alone because he knows this would not only benefit himself but the people around him. It creates this awkward tension that makes Hikigaya either loved or hated by some but personally I see Hikigaya as a character that should be respected because of how he analyzes the world around him which to some respect is cruel but 100% true. Then we have Yukino Yukinoshita, Yukino can be described as an «Ice Queen» and will literally never «let it go» if you ever cross her bad side. She’s smart and beautiful in way that is both cute and deadly at the same time. She has this «Royal» essence that makes her a force to be reckoned with and her snide remarks towards those she finds inferior make Yukino a beautiful nightmare you wish you can witness. Lastly we have Yui Yuigahama who is our cheerful little ball of sunshine that brightness up everyone’s day whenever they are feeling down. She is the type of girl that needs support and friends to keep her company and will do anything to keep that friendship lasting until the very end.

Art/Sound: The animation of this season compared to last is a enormous improvement beyond many levels of quality. They switched to Feel Productions and I applaud the overall animation quality knowing how hard it must of been to make Hikigaya’s eyes seem more dead then usual along with the cast being improved drastically in only a 2 year gap. The backdrops were stunning, The art style fit the theme well, and by far it was the best animation they could have possibly created. The opening was fantastic as I believe it was a better opening then it’s predecessor and the ending was also catchy as sung by the voice actresses themselves just as last season did. The OST’s of the anime were good as it fit the show nicely at just the right times and I have no complaints at all for it was simply put, better then last season.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku did everything it was set out to do and more. It provided a story that made me want to watch over and over and left me depressed as I waited each weak for each episode to release. It brought back that sense of nostalgia 2 years ago when I was watching the first season and it reminded me how much I love Hikigaya. If you like an anime that revolves around a school setting where the premise of the story is everyday problems that have to be solved by someone who really doesn’t wish to be part of society then please watch this show. I can’t recommend this show enough and you won’t be disappointed. The novels are the main source material where this anime is adapted from and I wait for the day that maybe. and just maybe. a season 3 will be announced.

Hahahaha! Been a long time since I have last wrote a review. This is going to be a little weird. Let me start off by saying that this series is definitely not for everyone. The people who should not watch this anime is.

-People who have tons of friends and have never been hurt by them
-People who have been happy constantly and have never experience loneliness
-People are optimistic to the point of delusion
-Basically, people who have the head ten feet up their a**es
-Or people who only enjoy anime for battle shounen

Also by the way,
SOL-Slice of Life
. RomCom-Romantic Comedy
*I’m going to be using those abbreviations A LOT!

Story:8
One of the the many good points of this series. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is very contrary to its name. Instead of acting as most ordinary SOL RomCom (Harem galore, Idiot Protagonist, generic females, et cetera), it acts more like a deconstruction of the genre instead. It’s a story that while on paper is mundane, is told from an interesting point of view of a pessessmistic but kind loner. That is what makes the story good and better then the average RomCom. We recieve various monologue from the protagonist, Hachiman Hikigaya(8man) so while the story itself is somewhat mundane, the actions that Hachiman takes and the thoughts he thinks make the story compelling and intriguing to watch. The story continues from the first season, as Hachiman continues to solve problems that are brought to the Service Club. However unlike the first season the second is much less comedic and more heavily invested on the complex emotions of the multiple characters that the show presents. Despite being a “romance” anime, it isn’t the shows full focus. There are a lot of that, and many teasing of characters being liking each other, but it is a secondary concern below just simple friendship and character interaction.

Art:9
The art from this season is a large step-up from the original one. The character designs being the biggest change. At first, I actively disliked it at first, but as I continue to watched the character designs began to not only grow on me, but grew to the point where I like it more the original. Their looks now allow for more emotions and are less stiff. Studio Feels also manage to create great animation that allow you to be able to understand character thoughts just through their movements. All and all, the art and animation for the second season was fantastic, and while not as flashy or pretty as some of the action series as of late, but it is quite stunning in its own right.

Sound:9
The opening was actually pretty average for the most part, and in to be quite honest I prefer the opening of the first one. However, the anime counters that by making the ending fantastic and much better than the one from the first season (again, in my opinion). But the background soundtrack and voice acting is where this anime truely shines. Its subtle and minimalist tracks helps build up suspense, and allow for emotions to come naturally. The music will never overtake what is happening and will never be the star of the show. But it never needed to be, it being a minimalist type soundtrack. It purpose is to enhanced the show and what is going on, it tracks help amplify suspense when need, it also builds sadness or joy when it is played. A lot of people I know and probably a large portion of music-lovers out there dislike minimalist music so this track probably isn’t something you can listen to over and over. That being said, a few out there will find this enjoyable to constantly listen to, and some of you might even find it among your favorite music tracks. Regardless, few can argue that the music got what needed to be done, and did it with flying colors. The voice acting make the already realistic characters seem more real, and makes for what they say actual conversations that could happen instead of just characters in a fictional setting, talking.

Character:10
Oh boy, the character is where this truely surpassed my expectations. Being a RomCom, I went into this show expecting s***. As mention above RomComs usually follow a very generic formula. One of the ingriedients would be generic as hell characters, Idiotic and nice protagonist along with girls to fit every fetish and tropes to fall in love with said protagonist. This show does almost a complete reverse, with a highly realistic(pessimisstic) and intelligent protagonist with only two fully fleshed out and developed female protagonist. Let’s talked about Hachiman(8man) first, as well as talking about how much I love it when a show implements catharticism correctly. This could range from when Hachiman puts down other people with his superior rationality, or when he solves problems by commiting social suicide only to realized later on that it was a TSPP(tempory solution permanent problem). His way of thinking and morales in life resonates with me on a personal level. Which is a large reason why Hachiman is a character that is not for everyone. If you could relate to him through life experiences or you’re able to understand and realize his viewpoints on life then he may very well be one of your favorite main character in any series, SOL RomCom or otherwise as he was for me. If you’re one of the people mention on the list of people who would hate this anime, Hachiman is probably the biggest reason why. He is negative, and cynical, which is great as now their is a main protagonist that is similar to me and millions of other people out their who aren’t optimistic as soceity tells us we should be. Now on to the female leads, which we have two of. Yukino being the first one we are introduced to, and like Hachiman, is a loner and has been bullied in her younger years. Unlike Hachiman however, she is far more successful and thus, sometimes have a superiority complex. She faces many of the same problem that faces Hachiman, but many of the times these problems require different solutions and are caused by different causes for the two characters. So it makes the two characters, while similar, also distinctively different. This causes many opportunities for the the. Final, but definitely not last of the main characters, is Yui. She is the bubbly, happy, social type. And she is absolutely and one hundred percent necessary for the show to work. She acts as a foil to the two other main characters, but in some odd way is still as completely relatable as the other two. Her interaction and chemistry with the other two is at times comedic, and at other time emotional brings along a whole entire other sets of problems. Her character brings to light an entire different view point and to put it simply, without Yui, the entire show would be completely different and more than likely, no where near as good. The most important thing about the supporting cast is each supporting member is that each one is a fully fleshed out character and anyone who is named would likely show up more then once. They are each filled with their owned personalities that are not just generic tropes, each often having problems that can watchers can relate to. Each are realistic, such as Hayama who despite at first seems like a Gary Stu, later turn out to be just as troubled and filled with problems as everyone else in the show, or Komachi who (for the first time in forever not a love interest), actually act as a simply would to the main character. Having fights with him, giving advice, understanding, apologizing for mistake, et cetera. All this combined with the emotionally broken and trouble main characters each being rejected by society in some way make this show have the most diverse set of characters and one of the most realistic and relatable group I have ever seen from not only anime, but from a story in general.

Enjoyment:10
Like all my other reviews, the enjoyment is not factored into the final review, so this long section is completely skippable. What else is there needed to be said, everything that praises and critics (to which there are few) have already been said in the moderately long review. So lets talk about why this anime means so much for me (which again, if it is boring then is completely skippable), and while it rank at number two in my list of favorite animes. The reason is simple, I have never in my entire life relate to an anime as much as this one, and even more than that I have never relate to a character as much as Hachiman. Like him I have tried to reach out to make friend in the past, only to be left in severe disappointment. It didn’t take long after that to just simply stop caring, and since then I have always been more pessimistic than an optimistic. And with every telling me that is an terrible way of living and that would lead to wrong to thing negative thoughts, only enhanced my pessimism, as using optimism to “help” a pessimist really doesn’t work. I could fully imagine what it would be like to be in his shoes and often could see the world through his eyes. From him getting rejected without much thought by a crush. From being despised from a trait that was gained at birth, and from spending hours simply doing nothing looking at others doing things that required more then a single person. I could also imagine myself in his shoes, when he was trying to do the right thing, but not being able find a method that would not involve hurting and most likely more then likely others. As a result even now, I only have a small group of friend and even a smaller group in which I can freely talked and express my problems. My advice for anyone who meets a Hachiman in their life and want to become friends with them would be to never talk about celebrities with them, but more importantly be patient. Just be patient and stick around and never try to “fix” them. My advice for people like me or Hachiman (which can be taken with a grain of salt) would be to stop thinking that your way of living is wrong, it just different. Don’t try to make friends for the sake of making friends, but make friends who you would help you when ask, and you would help if they ask. That got a little heavy and I also didn’t imagine it would go on a mini therapy (though I don’t think I made a great therapist) session. Well that is the reason why this show recieve a perfect ten in the enjoyment catagory, that and because even though the show isn’t gear towards everyone, I felt like one of the people that is was gear towards. From it storytelling, to its art, to it beautifully constructed minimalist soundtrack that I could listen to over and over again, and it splendid and beautifully constructed cast of main characters. Since this is skippable, let’s talk about the romance to which I can quickly sumarized up with imagery. You see there are two gigantic battleship which have said and are fighting each other. There is also a ship for a cute underclassmate, but that one is more like a wooden conoe. Anyway, I currently being told to walked the plank on both ships multiple times because of how much I like the characters. What I’m trying to say is I have literally no idea what side I am on, and would be happy and sadden by any choice the author picks for the main character. Which is kind of a lose-lose and win-win senario. Confused. So am I about how I feel.

Final Verdict:9
Like all show, it has its flaws such as the title. And as all shows, it is not for everybody. But if you have ever been outcasted of soceity either it only have been a while or for your entire dang life, I would urge you greatly to watch the show. It shows that your way of living, no matter what, is not right nor is it wrong. It shows the pros and cons to living like Hachiman, and living like someone like Hayama. I have already rambled enough out the shows good and bad points in the review sections, and have already said how much I like the show in my enjoyment section. There really isn’t much else to say besides me saying that if you don’t consider yourself to be part of these people.

-People who have tons of friends and have never been hurt by them
-People who have been happy constantly and have never experience loneliness
-People are optimistic to the point of delusion
-Basically, people who have the head ten feet up their a**es
-Or people who only enjoy anime for battle shounen

Then go watch the f***ing show. I’ll end it here, just so you can so watch it, heck, I’ll even include a link to the show on Crunchyroll.

Yeah, I like it that much, and writing this review kind of made me appreciate it more. Not sure if it will have the same effect on you, but hey, there’s only one way to find out.

Yahari ore no seishun love comedy wa machigatteiru

Кто не хочет всё это читать, то скажу сразу: на слабую 7 третий сезон всё-таки потянул, и последние две серии я смотрел практически без эмоций.

А теперь о хорошем: как по мне однозначно хорошие функции на протяжении всех сезонов выполнили следующие персонажи: Юи, Харуно, Шизука.
Первая чаще всего исполняла некую роль моста, между немного похожими Хачиманом и Юкиной, препятсвовала тому, чтобы клуб распался, пытаясь одновремменно держатся ко всем основным героям одинаково близко.

. Это было вполне предзказуемо, ибо ещё даже в 1 сезоне, когда есть мысль, чем всё закончится, я невольно давал прогноз 60 на 40 не в пользу Юи.
Старшая сестра Юкино, как по мне, хорошо справлялась с ролью некоего хитрого дьявола, который будет пытаться вызывать сомнение по поводу отношений главной троицы, особенно у Хачимана. Хороший сюжетный тормоз. Присутствие этого манипулятора всегда вызывало некую тревогу и настороженность. Её вообще вместе с матерью можно считать антагонистами, которых главные герои должны победить своими убеждениями и взглядами на вещи, чтобы стать сильнее или независимее.
Шизука понравилась тем, что, несмотря на мои ожидания, до конца поддерживала главного героя. С одной стороны, это было очевидно, ибо это она заставила вступить Хачимана в клуб волонтёров и, по сути, начала всю эту историю, но лично мне было бы приятно, как и её избранному ученику, получать от неё поддержку.

Про музыку и рисовку ничего не скажу, ибо я просто ничего особенного от feel со времен 2 сезона не ждал.

Несмотря на такое завершение, которое поделило комьюнити пополам, и несмотря на то, что серия была завершена буквально вчера, у 3 сезона всё ещё высокий рейтинг:

. Это больше чем у 1 и 2 сезонов, но время покажет, насколько был приемлем такой финал. К тому же, не стоит забывать, что со времен 1 сезона до третьего добралось не так много народу, ибо, банально, кто-то дропнул первый, кто-то второй сезон, ну, думаю, тут понятно.

Тем не менее, мне всё еще нравится Oregairu, и когда я захочу его вспомнить, я просто прочту ранобэ, а я уверен на все 200%, что там дело обстоит намного лучше и не вызывает негодований по поводу персонажей, диалогов, и, таким образом, такого серенького финала.

Сам залез сюда с этой же проблемой,но все викопедисты и ранобэстисты остановились на 9й серии.
Мои лично умозаключения:
юи решила расставить все точки над ‘и’.
Она много раз за последние серии приходила в уныние,когда её вспоминали именно,как хорошую,добрую.
Соритесь? Помирем! Не получается? Поможем! Хикки и юкино в любовь играют? Ну я отойду,удачи!
Она решила,что хватит.
Сделав запрос в клуб помощи она выведет на свет чувства Юкиноситы и свои. И заставит хикки сделать выбор.(может попросит сказать как Юкиносита относится к хикки. А может попросит юкинон завязать ей шнурки. Последняя выиграет,выполнив больше больших дел. И на правах победителя ЗАСТАВИТ хикки рассказать кого он любит. Вариантов много)
«Если я выйграю,то заберу себе всё.»
И всё для неё-хикки.
И это эгоистичное желание сбросит их очень удобные отношения товарищей по клубу. Будут только парень и две влюблённые в него девушки. Именно этого они все боятся

Юкиносита почти соглашается на это.

Но вот хикки хочет лжи. Он хочет того,против чего всегда боролся.
Он идёт против себя.
Он хочет видеть всё ту же добрую и жертвующую собой ради них с Юкиноситой, юи. Сколько раз именно она становилась тем связующим звеном между ними? Ради него она учится готовить и приносит печеньки.
Хочет видеть перед собой сильную,независимую Юкиноситу. Ту Снежную Королеву,которой она была в первой серии первого сезона.
Но и она изменилась. Теперь она лишь милый и напуганный котёнок.
Она уже не знает что ей делать даже в случае с простым запросом. Не может принять решение,а если приняла,то не может его отстоять,(выборы в студ.совет) смущается и стесняется хикки.

И не только они. Хикки,которому было плевать на всех и всё. Он тоже.
Он хочет остаться с ними двумя и не хочет терять ни одну из них.
И он выбирает ложь.
Он выбирает ту самую Романтическую комедию,от которой бежал с первой серии.

Hachiman Hikigaya, a student in Soubu High School, is a cynical loner due to his traumatic past experiences in his social life. This eventually led to him developing a set of «dead fish eyes» and a twisted personality similar to that of a petty criminal. Believing that the concept of youth is a lie made up by youngsters who face their failures in denial, he turns in an essay that criticizes this exact mentality of youths. Irritated by the submission, his homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, forces him to join the Volunteer Service Club—a club that assists students to solve their problems in life, hoping that helping other people would change his personality.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita, the most beautiful girl in school, is surprisingly the sole member of the club and a loner, albeit colder and smarter than Hikigaya. Their club soon expands when Yui Yuigahama joins them after being helped with her plight, and they begin to accept more requests.

With his status quo as a recluse, Hikigaya attempts to solve problems in his own way, but his methods may prove to be a double-edged sword.

More reviews Reviews

Oregairu is a pilgrimage destination for people who set out to quench their thirst for finding something genuine. It takes its characters, and you, the reader, on a journey to explore the themes of self-realization, inferiority complex, cynicism, and social awkwardness.

[Story & Writing] The story and setting of Oregairu is a simplistic high school club-themed slice-of-life, which is good, considering what it is trying to achieve. The story is just a device to dig deep into the psychology of teenagers, in order to explore its themes. Going in expecting a prioritization on romance will disappoint you, but for me, it is the least important aspect of Oregairu.

The novels are written from the main character’s point of view so that the readers can see and judge the thought process behind every action he takes. Additionally, Oregairu is written in a roundabout manner, the monologues and the dialogues are all very vague and open-ended which means that the reader is free to form his/her own opinion on them. So even if you think that it is all bullshit, it doesn’t mean you are wrong, it just means that Oregairu is just not for you.

That being said, Oregairu did not know where it was headed for the starting 3 volumes, and hence these volumes feel disjointed from the rest of the series. Mind you, they are still entertaining but they certainly lack the true Oregairu essence. Needless to say, they could have easily been compressed.

[Art] In the author’s own words— «The story is penned by the author of the light novels in order to create cute scenes for the illustrator to illustrate». Luckily, Oregairu had the pleasure of being illustrated by Ponkan8 (also drew Shirobako’s character designs). Their art kept on improving with each passing volume and is certainly an eye-candy. Although, the last couple of volumes suddenly saw a huge downgrade. I still wonder what happened.

[Character] Oregairu’s characters follow the basic archetypes that you will find in similar light novels, but what differentiates them is the layer upon layer of characterization the author has put with each chapter. The way the characters grow throughout the series is nothing but a sight to behold, it is subtle and yet significant enough.

Hikigaya Hachiman is my teenage-self. He is a pessimist, a hypocrite, a coward, an edgelord, cynical, anti-social, and a loner. Until high school, he tried to be a normie but failed. Now, he has completely given up and has ended up deceiving himself in believing that his current self seeks and needs no modifications. He performs actions in a way that, even though produces the outcome, ends up sacrificing himself. He is adamant about not forming new relationships and maintaining the status quo but slowly by slowly, he comes to self-realization that he is the way he is because he is afraid of getting hurt.

Yukinoshita Yukino is another loner teenager, with a lack of self-esteem because of her exceptionally talented elder sister. Even though she herself is talented, she constantly keeps on comparing herself with her sister. She keeps people at bay because of the consequences of her own talents and beauty. Throughout the series, her self-esteem gets hit more and more.

Yuigahama Yui seems to be your typical normie teenager and has developed a crush on the protagonist. The novels do an exceptional job to flesh out her characters by guiding the readers through her actual personality.

Most of the side characters in the novels are given enough screentime and a proper characterization that separates them from the original archetype they were originally based upon.

[Enjoyment] Enjoyment is highly subjective. Personally, I was engrossed enough to devour two novels in a single sitting. Sometimes, the drama can get too heavy but honestly, that is the best part. A warning— Initial 3 or 4 volumes might give a fake impression of what Oregairu actually is.

Oregairu might not be the greatest fiction on the planet, but for me, it is more than that. Oregairu is an easy recommendation for people who want to dig deep and want something genuine.

I was promised a masterpiece. A novel full of well crafted dialogue and deep story with a social commentary. Needles to say I got none of that.

The whole time while reading this I was waiting for the breaking point, the part when it gets good, the big twist or something, as I couldn’t believe this is what the huge amount of people are praising. Yet here we are.

In other reviews, you can see «this isn’t your typical romcom novel» being noted a lot. That’s a lie. This is your typical romcom novel. The only difference there is that the protagonist is (self)described as a loner and loser. A loner and loser yet he gathers supporting characters around and 2+ girls hinting theirs interest in him (this is a romantic comedy after all). You guessed it, it’s just a self-insert character at his core. A character for the unpopular folks to identify with and to fantasize how they’ll get surrounded by girls too. And Hachiman is self-insert not only for the reader, but also for the author, as the author himself even mentioned that in the afterword. Everyone else is just a background character for the MC to interact with, really. Yes, even the secondary lead consisting of the two girls. And have I mentioned considerable chunk of the whole content of the novel is the MC fawning over a trap? If that is your thing, good for you, but otherwise be beware you might cringe a lot.

I suspect that the reason for mostly positive reception is that almost nobody who didn’t like this from the start is going to stick around to actually finish it. And it is the right decision, there is no improvement or reward for forcing yourself through the novel even though you do not like it. The only reason I haven’t dropped this is because of my personal no drop policy, and even then I was tempted to just drop this numerous times. It’s not outright awful, but it is boring most of the time.

The illustrations are amateurish and unimaginative. It’s mostly just the characters, well, standing there. As if to complement to writing, the art style is also bland. And just a little pet peeve and again mostly in the first few novels, the boob physics are hideous and on a level of bad ecchi. Though to be fair after finishing the series I can say that the art actually improved, so at least that’s something positive.

Overall, there seems to be a lot of readers enjoying this, so you might very well become one of them. Just be warned that there is a chance you might be unpleasantly surprised.

The characters are the most flawed part of the story by far.

Jokes aside, I think that Hachiman Hikigaya is the main selling point for this light novel and how it achieved its commercial success. His character as a whole is not relatable and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. He is not someone who anyone can relate to, but someone who many people want to relate to, whether they’re feeling existential angst or going through their edgy teenager phase.

And speaking of those two beautiful women, I feel like they are the most flawed among all the characters. Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita. First, let’s talk about Yui. If I can describe her character with one word, it would be «convenient.» She feels more like a tool than an actual character. An instrument to keep Hikigaya’s and Yukinoshita’s relationship from falling apart. She was there just for the sake of having a love triangle. On the other hand, Yukinoshita plays the role of our main heroine. A character so similar to Hikigaya, yet so different. Like our main character, she has no friends, but this time by choice. She was loved throughout the whole school despite her cold attitude towards everyone. A bleak and flat character. And despite receiving almost all of the character development in the story, her character is still flawed. She and Hikigaya, despite being heavily entitled to their ideals, were easily manipulated by a single word.

The dialogue and situations in the story felt way too convenient. I know I’ve been using the word «convenient» a lot in this review, but it is one of the flaws in the story. Instead of being believable or natural, many parts of the story felt like it was just conveniently and weakly planned. All the drama in Orgairu was just the source of miscommunication. The author chooses words for the dialogue to conveniently create misunderstandings and conflicts. There were also times when the conflict came out of nowhere, where no reason was given on why there was stress in the situation (e.g. the reactions when Hikigaya faked a confession).

For clarification, I understand that many things within a story have to hold convenience to devise a plot as what makes a good story good is meticulous planning. Many aspects of Oregairu had devices that only hold importance to a specific subject and not the entirety of the story or part of the story’s development.

As I’ve seen from Wataru Watari’s work, he is no doubt a great author, but his mistake was putting too much of himself in his work. Getting attached to your story, especially your characters when writing is common, but sometimes, it can be too much. It is okay to put your feelings into the story but it is also important to not put too much of yourself into it as well. Looking forward to reading more of his works.

I still would like to recommend this light novel to people despite the criticism I gave. The majority of people seemed to like it, and I can see why this is a commercially successful story. So if you like your basic harem but with a little bit of edginess, feel free to give Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru a read.

Хороший сюжетный тормоз. Присутствие этого манипулятора всегда вызывало некую тревогу и настороженность. Её вообще вместе с матерью можно считать антагонистами, которых главные герои должны победить своими убеждениями и взглядами на вещи, чтобы стать сильнее или независимее.
Шизука понравилась тем, что, несмотря на мои ожидания, до конца поддерживала главного героя. С одной стороны, это было очевидно, ибо это она заставила вступить Хачимана в клуб волонтёров и, по сути, начала всю эту историю, но лично мне было бы приятно, как и её избранному ученику, получать от неё поддержку.

Про музыку и рисовку ничего не скажу, ибо я просто ничего особенного от feel со времен 2 сезона не ждал.

Несмотря на такое завершение, которое поделило комьюнити пополам, и несмотря на то, что серия была завершена буквально вчера, у 3 сезона всё ещё высокий рейтинг:

. Это больше чем у 1 и 2 сезонов, но время покажет, насколько был приемлем такой финал. К тому же, не стоит забывать, что со времен 1 сезона до третьего добралось не так много народу, ибо, банально, кто-то дропнул первый, кто-то второй сезон, ну, думаю, тут понятно.

Тем не менее, мне всё еще нравится Oregairu, и когда я захочу его вспомнить, я просто прочту ранобэ, а я уверен на все 200%, что там дело обстоит намного лучше и не вызывает негодований по поводу персонажей, диалогов, и, таким образом, такого серенького финала.

Эх, чувствую, нелегкий это будет обзор. Вокруг Oregairu [TV-2] было много дискуссий, было высказано множество мнений. Пришла пора и мне сказать свои пару слов насчет этого аниме. В данном обзоре я, помимо выражения собственного мнения, попробую объяснить, почему существуют настолько диаметрально разные точки зрения насчет «Розовой поры». Итак, в этом обзоре я расскажу вам про Oregairu [TV-2].

Краткие сведения

Oregairu («My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected», «Розовая пора моей школьной жизни сплошной обман»), в дальнейшем просто «Розовая пора» — это аниме, снятое на основе достаточно популярной в Японии серии ранобэ. Первый сезон был выпущен студией Brains Base в 2013 году, второй — студией Feel весной 2015 года. Собственно говоря, именно этим вызваны различия в рисовке.

Для тех, кто еще не смотрел ни первый, ни второй сезон, я вкратце опишу сюжет. Действие происходит в старшей школе. Главным героем является Хикигая Хачиман — прагматик, пессимист, разочаровавшийся в жизни. Дружбу, любовь — все эти чувства он считает показными, благодаря которым люди только обманывают друг друга, пытаясь влиться в общество. У него нет друзей, врагов — его просто не замечают. Многие его одноклассники даже не догадываются о его существовании. Пока…

Под давлением одного из учителей Хикигая вступает в школьный клуб, главной задачей которого является помощь людям. Этакий волонтерский клуб. Поначалу в клубе состояла лишь Юкиношита Юкино — умная, красивая и уверенная в себе девушка, которая, однако, имеет мировоззрение, очень похожее на мировоззрение Хикигаи, и благодаря которому она также одинока. Чуть позже к ним присоединяется Юи Юигахама — открытая и веселая девушка, которая, однако, не может самостоятельно принимать решения и пытается быть похожей на других. Сюжет развивается вокруг взаимоотношений главных героев и их помощи другим людям в рамках деятельности клуба.

Плюсы

Главной фишкой аниме является не то, что делают главные герои, а как они это делают, и что при это думают. Акцент с действий перенесен на их мотивы и рассуждения. И если Хикигая решает проблемы наиболее практичным и циничным способом, не всегда думая о чувствах людей, то Юкино в первую очередь старается подумать о последствиях. Столкновения взглядов главных героев играют важную роль в развитии сюжета в целом и их характеров в частности.

Пожалуй, я нигде не видел такого глубокого раскрытия характеров у персонажей, как в «Розовой поре». Именно это отличает его от большинства аниме о школьниках и их повседневной жизни. Да и главные герои не всегда воспринимаются как школьники — их рассуждения и нравственные терзания вполне достигают уровня взрослых людей. Если в начале первого сезона о существовании Хикигаи не знал практически никто, то к началу событий второго сезона его знают все одноклассники, причем многие считают отвратительным лицемером. И лишь немногие смогли разглядеть в нем настоящего, умного и всегда готового помочь человека.

О существовании «Розовой поры» я впервые узнал, когда начали выходить первые серии второго сезона. А так как у меня есть правило смотреть любое аниме с самого начала, то я решил посмотреть первый сезон. Я его посмотрел за один день, всё в нем мне понравилось. И с тех пор я с нетерпением стал ждать выход каждой новой серии второго сезона.

Обычно я жалею, что начинаю смотреть онгоинг по мере выхода серий, так как лучше дождаться выхода всего аниме, и потом быстро его посмотреть. Но Oregairu2, это, пожалуй, первый случай, когда я рад, что смотрел его каждую неделю. Это давало время на осмысление происходящего. А подумать там есть над чем. 20 минут удовольствия от просмотра, а потом пара часов удовольствия от размышлений — что может быть лучше?

Способы и методы просмотра

Существуют 3 способа смотреть «Розовую пору»:

1). Прочитать ранобэ, посмотреть первый сезон, и потом со скривленной миной говорить, что во втором сезоне Хикигая скатился, что он уже не тот, и что вообще всё очень плохо. Вы просто не представляете, сколько гневных комментариев я прочитал под вторым сезоном на ресурсе, где я смотрел это аниме. И это не может не вызывать удивление. На мой взгляд, второй сезон превосходит первый почти по всем параметрам. Возможно, с нагнетанием драмы перестарались, но об этом после.

2). Просто выключить мозги, и смотреть, ожидая прямолинейных действий и разъяснений. Если вы считаете, что в «Розовой поре» вам будут всё разжевывать — вы пришли не по адресу. В этом аниме необходимо думать при просмотре, чтобы хотя бы что-то понять. Да, можно просто смотреть за происходящим, но удовольствие от просмотра будет совсем не то. Я уверен, что многие отрицательные отзывы идут от людей, которые использовали этот способ просмотра, ничего не поняли и после этого пишут на всяческих форумах «ни понятна мне ничаво. ». Что же, для таких людей есть этти, есть фансервис, есть легкие комедии — там уж точно думать не надо.

3). Смотреть, пытаясь осмыслить происходящее. Понять каждую фразу и причину, по которой персонаж её произносит. Только такой способ просмотра может позволить получить удовольствие от Oregairu2 в полной мере. Да, это требует определенных мыслительных усилий, и если вы не готовы их приложить — лучше даже не начинать просмотр, так как иначе «Розовая пора» вам может показаться недоделанной повседневностью с элементами романтики, где герои бросаются друг в друга пафосными фразами. Однако если вы постараетесь и приложите немного усилий — вы не пожалеете.

Так как я предпочитаю третий подход, тот факт, что я смотрел по одной серии в неделю, сыграл мне на руку. У меня было время поразмышлять после просмотра. Боюсь, что, если бы я смотрел все серии за один раз, то многое могло бы ускользнуть и оказаться непонятым. Поэтому мой личный совет — не спешите. Если что-либо не поняли — лучше пересмотрите момент, почитайте комментарии, проанализируйте. Только так можно получить полное удовольствие от просмотра. Я не буду приводить в этом обзоре разъяснения наиболее насыщенных диалогов и монологов главных героев (8 серия с монологом Хикигаи; последняя серия с разговором Хики, Юкино и Юки), так как это уже многократно сделали до меня куда более внимательные и умные люди. Если уж совсем ничего не понятно — лучше поищите эти разъяснения в интернете, заодно можете сравнить свою точку зрения с тем, о чем на самом деле говорили герои.

Сравнение первого и второго сезона

Итак, перейдем к сравнению первого и второго сезонов, и объяснению, почему второй сезон мне понравился больше.

Во-первых, второй сезон сложнее, и, если можно так выразиться, «взрослее». Я уже упоминал ранее, что в первом сезоне я посмотрел сразу все серии. При этом каких-либо вопросов при просмотре у меня не возникало. То есть все мотивы тех или иных поступков лежат на поверхности, и докапываться до истины там не приходится. Второй сезон в этом плане намного сложнее и запутаннее. И мне это нравится. Пришлось пару-тройку раз пересмотреть некоторые моменты, чтобы понять, о чем говорит персонаж, и почему он это говорит. Самый яркий пример — монолог Хикигаи из 8 серии. Сходу и не поймешь, о каком «настоящем» идет речь. Или, к примеру, я не сразу понял, почему Хаято не хотел рассказывать, в какой именно класс он будет поступать. Именно попытки прояснить эти моменты были для меня самым интересным при просмотре.

Во-вторых, характеры персонажей поменялись. Я видел огромное количество гневных комментариев на тему того, что персонажи уже не такие, как в первом сезоне, что Хикигая стал размазней и растерял всё то, за что его любили зрители. Это не так. Хикигая и в первом сезоне был добрым человеком, жертвующим собой во имя всеобщего блага. Просто некоторые люди принимают подобные проявления самоотверженности за цинизм и жестокость. В этом зрители уподобляются персонажам «Розовой поры» — там тоже часть одноклассников воспринимают поступки Хикигаи только как жестокость, и лишь немногие понимают, почему он так поступает. Другие персонажи тоже меняются и развиваются под воздействием друг друга. Очень интересно было наблюдать за Хаято и его взаимоотношениями с Хикигаей. Было бы странно, если бы всё оставалось как прежде. Поэтому развитие характеров персонажей я воспринимаю как преимущество второго сезона над первым, особенно если учесть, что едкие комментарии Хикигаи и его «подход» решать проблемы ничуть не изменились.

В-третьих, давайте рассмотрим сюжет. Если в первом сезоне арки состояли максимум из 2-3 серий, то во втором сезоне помощь Ирохе заняла куда больше времени. В этом плане, конечно, первый сезон выглядит разнообразнее. С другой стороны, это позволило лучше раскрыть характер Ирохи и некоторых других персонажей, чего не удалось бы сделать за 2-3 серии. Поэтому такой подход можно назвать оправданным.

В-четвертых, рисовка. Тут прогресс налицо. Когда я впервые увидел второй сезон — я не поверил своим глазам. Все выглядит чуточку, но лучше. Именно настолько, насколько это было необходимо. Хикигая стал выглядеть намного реалистичнее, теперь проще его представить настоящим человеком со сложным характером. Если уж говорить честно — то в этом аниме рисовка не главное, и та, что была в первом сезоне, меня полностью устраивала. Но увидев, какой она стала во втором — я понял, что нет предела совершенству.

В-пятых, музыка. Нежные мотивы на фортепиано в сочетании с мягкими красками как нельзя лучше подходит «Розовой поре». Музыка, что в первом, что во втором сезоне находится на очень высоком уровне. Никаких претензий к композиторам нет, постарались на славу.

Недостатки

Пусть я и восхваляю второй сезон Oregairu, он не лишен недостатков. Первый из них — это ненужное нагнетание драмы ближе к концу аниме. Понятно, что героям надо решить все вопросы и объясниться друг с другом, но выглядит это несколько форсировано. Насколько мне известно, из последних томов ранобэ при экранизации многие интересные моменты просто выбросили, наверно поэтому происходящее мне показалось несколько скомканным. Также меня несколько смутила концовка. Вместо восклицательного знака или хотя бы точки сценаристы решили поставить расплывчатое многоточие. А при условии, что ранобэ еще не зашло настолько вперед относительно аниме, ждать продолжения нам еще долго. Это печально. Но раз есть надежда на третий сезон — остается только ждать.

Оценки

Персонажи — 10.0. Как я уже сказал ранее, настолько глубоких и разнообразных характеров я не видел нигде. После просмотра Oregairu персонажи в других аниме начинают казаться картонными и шаблонными. Каждый второстепенный персонаж во втором сезоне получил свою долю внимания, за что я очень благодарен сценаристам.

Сюжет — 8.0. Тут добавить мне нечего, все, что хотел, я уже написал выше. Еще раз скажу, что создатели аниме достаточно бережно отнеслись к первоисточнику, отбросив, однако, некоторые интересные моменты. Хорошо, но могло быть лучше.

Рисовка — 8.5. По сравнению с первым сезоном она изменилась, и, на мой взгляд, в лучшую сторону. Но это, как говорится, на любителя.

Музыка — 7.5. Претензий нет, всё осталось на том же высоком уровне. Правда, новых мелодий не так много.

Размышления Хикигаи — 10.0. То, за что все любили главного героя, никуда не делось. Да, Хики изменился, но едкость его замечаний градус не потеряла.

Заключение

В заключение я скажу, что второй сезон ничем не хуже первого, а во многом его превосходит. Просто расслабьтесь, включите мозги, и наслаждайтесь очередной порцией сложных человеческих отношений Хикигаи и окружающих его людей. Сам тот факт, что аниме не оставляет никого равнодушным, говорит о его неординарности. А уж понравится оно вам, или нет — во многом зависит от вас. Главное — старайтесь понять, почему персонажи говорят ту или иную фразу, и если не получилось с первой попытки, то пересмотрите момент и подумайте несколько лишних минут. Только в таком случае Oregairu раскроется перед вами во всех красе.

Как и ожидалось, моя школьная романтическая жизнь не удалась / Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (2013) [1-13 из 13]

Как и ожидалось, моя школьная романтическая жизнь не удалась

Эта история об одном необщительном юноше, Хачимане Хикигае. У него свой искажённый взгляд на жизнь, поэтому не завёл себе парень ни друзей, ни подружки. Всё это, цинично считает он, лживая клоунада, а потому его не касается, ему не нужно.

Хикигая учится в старшей школе и когда видит одноклассников, возбуждённо обсуждающих свою бурную подростковую жизнь, по обыкновению бормочет: «Кучка лжецов!». Когда Хикигаю спрашивают о его мечтах, он по привычке отвечает: «Ничего подобного не имею». И дальше как по заезженной колее. Романтические отношения? Увольте! Девушки? Враги народа! «Весна юности»? Ну что за глупости! Словом, парень сам себе на уме.

И вот когда, казалось бы, переубедить его уже не получится, упорная учительница, преподающая японский язык, решает, что с таким «тяжёлым случаем» помогут справиться только крайние меры. В наказание за саркастическое сочинение на тему «Какой я вижу школьную жизнь» она заставляет Хачимана вступить в странный школьный клуб, президент и единственный член которого — первая красавица школы Юкино Юкиношита. Парень понимает — теперь не отвертеться — и неохотно соглашается, всё ещё не имея представления о том, что это за клуб такой и какова его задача. А задача его в том, объясняет девушка, чтобы помогать всем, кто нуждается в помощи.

И едва она раскрыла рот, как обескураженный Хачиман понял, с какой целью его сюда затащили. Юкино с первых же слов вызвалась решить проблемы личности парня, коих он в себе признавать наотрез отказался. Вот только может ли решить чужие проблемы тот, кто и сам неосознанно, но отчаянно нуждается в помощи?

Как и ожидалось, моя школьная романтическая жизнь не удалась (3 сезон) / Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Kan (2020) [1-12 из 12]

Как и ожидалось, моя школьная романтическая жизнь не удалась (3 сезон)

Юность… Как много в этом слове: школа, дружба, беззаботное время, любовь. Молодёжь стремится ухватить от этого времени как можно больше. Но есть и те, кто полностью не согласен с этим. Один из них – Хачиман Хикигая. Он замкнутый, немного ворчливый и необщительный. Его молодость окрашена в серые тона, ему не нужны друзья и близкие отношения. Он сторонится всех: в мирке главного героя нет места всей этой «ерунде». Казалось бы, что жизнь Хикигаи так и останется скучной и бессмысленной. Но вся эта ситуация не нравится его учительнице японского языка. Она энергична, упряма и довольно коварна, поэтому ей удаётся заставить Хачимана вступить в тайный школьный клуб. В кружке до него был лишь один член – отличница и красавица Юкино Юкиношита. Цель кружка – помогать всем, кто попросит об этом. Хикигая искренне не понимает, для чего он ходит туда, и что требуется от него. Но к ним начинают приходить школьники со своими просьбами. Хачиману и Юкино приходится общаться с людьми, выяснять причины проблем и находить пути их решения. С этого момента образ жизни главных героев начинает потихоньку меняться.

В новом сезоне их ждут новые испытания. Сестра Хикигаи, Комати, сдала вступительные экзамены в среднюю школу. Теперь она ждет результаты тестирования. А к клубу обращается президент школьного студсовета – Ироха Ишики. Она хочет организовать праздник в честь выпускного вечера. Против этого выступает мама Юкиношиты. Осмелится ли Юкино пойти против своей матери? Удастся ли героям разобраться в своих чувствах? Ответы ждут зрителей в новом сезоне полюбившегося аниме.

Reviews

Now I’ll admit the first time I saw the sypnosis for this anime I thought Oregairu would be a stereotypical romcom anime. Just think about it. There are two female main characters and a male character. Male character is an outcast. One of the female characters is the school’s most beautiful girl. How original. But when I finished the first episode of this anime. I realized that this was something else. Something that manages to stray away from the norm and become something really special.

Art- The art was good most of the time. Backgrounds were filled with radiant colors and were nicely drawn.Character designs were also done well and fit well with the personalities of the characters. There was an episode or two where there was a small drop in animation. But all in all it’s pretty good.

Sound- The sound was quite impressive. The soundtrack fits in really well with the anime. The opening «Yukitoki», is a really catchy song and I had myself humming to it in the shower for days after I listened to it. The ending, I’m afraid. Wasn’t as well but is adequate for an ending.

Character-Now this is where Oregairu excels the most.
Let’s begin with Hikigaya Hachiman. Hachiman’s twisted view of life and society are definitely one of the most captivating view’s of life that i’ve ever seen. His views of life actually affected my way of viewing life. His monologues are also enjoyable and show off a bit more of his personality.

Yuki Yukinoshita is almost the complete opposite of Hachiman. She is smart, beautiful, and rich.But the interesting thing is. She doesn’t have friends either. But unlike Hachiman her reason for not having friends is her icy demeanor and being too perfect. She unlike Hachiman believes that change is a good thing. Her smart remarks are funny and her quarrels with Hachiman are hilarious. Over all she is also a nice character.

Yui Yuigahama at the start would seem to be a completely stereotypical character.Although I couldn’t say I loved her as much as I loved the other two main characters I would have to admit that without her in this anime this anime wouldn’t be as good. She serves as the glue that keeps the club together. Her character does develop to be more independent and helpful.

In the end Oregairu really did turn out to be a good series. What I thought would be a stereotypical romcom anime turned out to be something more than that. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who watches anime.

Not everyone of course has had this experience, but it’s certainly something that people experience. And so this is what Yahari Ore does best, it gives us a perspective of those in school who have been rejected so much, they decide to play by their own rules, and that of course is excluding everyone else from the game. Afterall, it’s much easier to get on by when you only have yourself to rely on.

This anime doesn’t preach to the audience. And certainly, the view points of these characters are sometimes flawed. But it’s an interesting look at how some people deal with their failure to connect to others (or rather, what can happens to someone when people reject and shut them out). Yahari Ore also looks at it from the other perspective, and isn’t trying to paint one side as the victim/aggressor. We get a look at how mean and cruel we can be to each other when trying to fend for ourselves by fitting to the status quo. But this is true of both the rejected and those that reject.

At its core this show is very funny. The MC’s biting sense of humor and harsh views of the world is hilarious (even if it always has an underlining seriousness to it). And to be clear, this isn’t a serious drama. However, my praise focuses so much on the serious elements of the show, because I think that is what elevates this to a truly great Anime vs. a typical comedy. There is a lot of truth to this show, and it feels very realistic. Through the lens of the MC’s harsh view on the world, we get a deep look at social behaviors and how often everyone is just trying to be something that won’t be shunned from the pack.

If you are someone looking for a romance anime to watch, this might not be it. The romance in this anime isn’t non-existent, it’s actually well written in a realistic manner (it doesn’t fall into the typical tropes). However, if you are looking for romance with a lot of action, then you might be let down. The romance in this anime is more about feelings, and how they can grow towards others. This is to say, the romance feels like something special here, but you will not get any closure or sweeping action between specific characters (maybe later in the LN or if we get a season 2). Although I don’t think that’s what this anime is about, as ultimately its focus is more on how people internally deal with their emotions, and the fear of sharing them with others.

Yahari Ore is an example of why comedy is such a great asset to art. Comedy allows us to look at aspects of life that aren’t always good and allows us to examine the darker aspect of our humanity, and laugh while also getting a better understanding of it. Yes, this is a comedy that is for the most part, snarky, sarcastic and deadpan. But it’s also a very interesting perspective on how we treat other people, and how those that don’t fit in, (or those that choose not to play the game and try to fit in), deal with a world that heavily relies on being social.

My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected. But my expectations were not.
Spring “blesses” us with yet another highschool anime about a guy who comes into contact with a bunch of girls in a school club.

What started out generic also ended generic and nothing of value has been gained.
It’s not only sad for the industry but also sad for Brains Base to produce such a subpar work, when in the past they were responsible for great shows like Baccano and Mawaru Penguindrum.

If it doesn’t have a story, does it have anything else to offer?
Yes and no.
While shows without story have normally things like, great artwork, soundtrack, interesting characters, settings or concepts. None of this was found in Yahari, the jokes were sometimes funny and sometimes you didn’t care. I was wondering why I am even watching this anymore as it was clear nothing was going on. It revolved around the same thing the entire time without any clear path to go. Stumbling from one boring school event to the next it felt so dragged out and couldn’t keep me interested.

Even for its genre it did nothing new or groundbreaking. There are a lot of better shows similar to Yahari that were at least enjoyable to watch.

It all boils down to Hachiman, the anti-social protagonist with witty comments on the insignificance of school life and school friends. While at first I liked his cynical view on his surroundings as it reminded me of my own view on school life, it became very dry at some point as it was the same thing over and over.
He showed no real progression and he alone is not enough to save this anime.

Yukino was the other half decent character, she also had a very cynical outlook on life but was a more honorable student than Hachiman. Her personality though stagnated and became boring after a while. Besides being cruel and insulting she had nothing else to offer.

Yui was a possible love interest for the MC but the show decided to just leave that alone and make absolutely nothing with it. She is just a naive girl and totally bland and boring. Like the rest of the support characters.

Saika was the only one who had an entertaining interaction with the MC but only because of the homosexual tension. Besides that he was a personality less trap just for fan-service.

You know, if you have no story to offer then please offer an interesting cast. Yahari has only one interesting character and that is not enough to keep me interested and entertained for 13 boring episodes.

Art and Animation:

You know how well Baccano was animated? The surreal art style Mawaru Penguindrum had? Or the pretty colors in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun?
Well Yahari had absolutely nothing like that.
It looked so cheap, the character designs were pretty generic and bad executed. The surrounding were so boring to look at, it had no special effects or interesting artistic treats for the eye.

Yahari looked just really really generic to borderline bad. I’m confused how Brains Base could produce such a cheap looking show.

Really it fails already in 3 categories, no story, boring character and cheap look.

But it doesn’t stop there. The overall soundtrack in Yahari is so forgettable, even bad at points. It’s just such run of the mill music that plays in the background without sticking out for a second.

The voice acting is good as usual, I would have face palmed if they would have fucked that up as well.

The opening is terrible and I always skipped it, the ending song is just as bad.

Four Strikes. Yahari what are you doing?

As you’d guess from my previous sections, yahari couldn’t keep me enjoyed through the course of 13 episode.
While I didn’t hate it (because then I’d have dropped it without a second thought). I just felt really bored at some point and just finished it so I had it finished.
Here and there it was funny and even entertaining. The start was pretty okay as well, but around the middle it just dropped deeper and deeper into insignificance. Such a boring show, it didn’t even had potential it wasted, it was wasted right from the start.

(Story) Content 3/10

Art and Animation 5/10

Artstyle 0 (generic and boring)
Quality 0 (not impressive)
Background 0 (boring backgrounds)
Character Designs 0 (bad executed and bland looking)
Visual Effects 0 (simple)

Yahari does nothing new or good in the romcom genre. it’s yet another school anime with an antisocial main character forced to interact with a bunch of girls. The events were mundane, the side characters annoying, art and sound below average. Truly a show not worth of any ones time.
If you want to watch an enjoyable RomCom try Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun made by the same studio last year. It’s not really great or anything, but by far better than Yahari.
Or why not try out really good ones like ToraDora or Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojou by JC Staff. Even Kyoto Animations Hyouka has more to offer and a similar cool main character.

«Some walks you have to take alone.»

Characters: Here was the biggest «fuck yeah» moments I’ve ever had. The characters in this show were phenomenal. Let me explain: from start to finish, how they started off as, how they developed, and the amazing interaction between the characters, especially Hikki and Yukinoshita, were just amazingly done. There really isn’t a show I enjoyed more than this based solely on character development. Gotta love the bantering back and forth.

Truly, there are some gems of knowledge we can all learn from. Hikki, pessimistic and messed as he may be, truly understands the world far better than most of the other characters in the show. Despite his twisted views on life, he tries his best to help others. Not always in the nicest way, but definitely in a way that is effective. Throughout the show, there was nothing more captivating than listening to Hikki’s thought process and views on life.

After finishing the show, that quote really hit me. Not so much about what it meant, but that quote truly was something that describes Hikki so very well. He truly understands the meaning of «walking alone» and just doing what needs to be done.

Basically, I gave this show a 9/10. I couldn’t part to give it anything higher because despite how much I liked it, there were some parts that I couldn’t enjoy (like my subjective views on the art and stuff but anyway). Despite all that, and minor details, it was a show I thoroughly enjoyed. Don’t let the long name fool you, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, or «My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected», or Oregairu. Whatever you may call it, this show truly is one worth watching.

Recommended. Highly. Yeah. Now go watch.

How do you feel / How did you feel when you enter(ed) your high-school every morning? Were you greeted by an accumulation of friends? Did the girls all swarm you and fawn over what you did? Were you always the «popular» kid. No? Me neither, and that’s why I enjoy this anime.

However you can only remain a loner so long before some event comes around and forces you to end up stuck with other people. In a normal high-school, that would probably be a group project, which ends shortly and you can return to your loner style of life, but Hikigaya isn’t so lucky, as he is forced into a club in which his goal along within the female protagonist is to fulfill people’s requests.

The anime is a great slice-of-life. It portrays perfectly how a loner feels and acts in a school environment, and it’s hilarious to watch the protagonist attempt to fit in with the club he’s stuck in. The comedic aspect of the anime focuses highly on the use of sarcasm, so if you’re a fan of sarcastic comedy then I definitely suggest you give this anime a watch.

The character progression lacks a little, but I can’t say too much as I have only seen a few episodes so far, and there is hints that it will reveal more about the how the characters turned out the way they did. Aside from progression however, the way the characters act serves for a great laugh and if you’re a loner yourself you’ll find yourself really relating to the protagonist.

The sound does a great job of fitting the mood of each scene, and there are even some moments where it can express the sarcastic remorse within a scene of constant sarcastic dialogue, so that no scene gets stale even if there is continued dialogue.

The art is beautiful, the characters look great and the scenery is always well drawn. They don’t move much out of the school, but when they do venture out (such as to the mall in an episode) you can see just how fantastic the art is.

I really enjoy this anime, and if you enjoy slice-of-life comedies I feel you would too, so check it out!

The series is called My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU in English terms. The SNAFU part is an abbreviation for “situation normal: all fucked up”. No, I didn’t make that up. On the other hand, the Japanese title is Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru that can also be abbreviated simply as Oregairu for easier writing. Regardless though, the series is adapted from the light novel of the same name written by Wataru Watari.

I have to admit, this series took me by quite a surprise. The first episode took off with a rather blend start from my point of view as the series seemed to follow more of a slice of lifish style of narrative. As mentioned before, the series stars a cynical and anti-social young man by the name of Hachiman Hikigaya. He is in his second year at high school but unlike most people who thinks about sports, girls, or academics, he seemingly rejects reality so much that he wishes his existence was never present. He maintains his life as typical with no friends, associates, or a girlfriend. This could be a understandable given his past with how he is often made fun of by his classmates and peers. Even the teacher never stood up to him when the time calls. Poor kid.

However, this is about to change because Hikigaya meets a girl who by the name of Yukino Yukinoshita. Unlike him, this girl is completely out of his league. (typical for him huh?) Yukino is seen as a girl who is admired for her beauty, academics, but also with a cold personality. Thus, she earns the title of “Ice-cold beauty”. At the same time, she plays the role of the president of a club known as the “service club”, a club created to help others in need. But of course, a club is difficult to run with just two people right? Well, that’s where Yuigahama Yui comes in. On a completely obstacle scale, Yui is cheerful and often puts on a smile while enjoying the times of her life at school. Together, these three forms the trio of this series in a romantic comedy that’s depicted as a complete “illusion” under Hikigaya’s eyes.

In this series, I find perhaps the character interactions to be one of the strongest points of the show. In fact, our three main characters gets seemingly gets off to a rocky start in the beginning. Hikigaya stands isolated at many occasions in events while voicing out thoughts in his own mind. He seems to detest romance and likely reality itself. His ‘deadfish eyes’ represents a physical side of this because in essence, fishes have no personality. In other words, Hikigaya plays the role of a cynical man. Yukino on to other hand seems to have a similar personality and at the same time often makes sarcastic remarks to Hikigaya’s responses. Her way of speech mannerisms shows why she earned the nickname “Ice-cold beauty”. This side of herself is further illustrated through her brutal honesty. In fact, Yukino is someone who goes against lies and speaks the truth at times no matter how forceful it may be. However, Yukino and Hikigaya does occasionally interact in agreement with various people. This usually relates to their ‘love life’ where the either of them immediately declares themselves as ‘nothing more than friends’. Finally, in my view, Yui represents the middle girl of the trio. She is neither cold or cynical. Instead, she is cheerful and often brings a bright smile to the gloom and doom of the club.

The pacing of this series seemingly becomes a problem at first but then, I realized it’s not about romance but rather the way these three characters live out their lives through young in their school lives. I’m sure some of us felt this way one point or another in our lives as life seemingly moves way too slow. For Hachiman though, he just wants it to be all over. At the same time however, Hachiman does seem to have some interest in his life. He does seem to find both Yukino and Yui to be attractive in physical terms. However, he doesn’t seem to actually want to date them because from his perspective, romance is a false reality; a lie.

The romance in this series is actually presented in a different way; no random fan service or breast groping. Rather, there’s more of a slice of life pacing that depicts our three main characters’ daily lives around others and around school as well as other places in later episodes. I personally find the romance in this series to be unique and even at times realistic. Although there’s some obvious hints, it’s rather presented in a conceptual style through its dialogues. Rather, the dialogues of this series also remains one of the strongest points in all of its episodes. Hachiman reflects them in his mind with his thoughts on the world and those around him. At one point, he goes over a long monologues that depicts his way of thinking against a certain type of girl. It’s realistic because it can be related to anyone at school. Yes, I do mean ANYONE.

Throughout the series, there’s also seemingly development with all three of our characters. Hachiman seems to change outlooks on himself while also influencing others. Yukino’s cold heart also seems to melt at various points as she reveals more of her vulnerable self. Additionally, Yui shows more of her fragile self as well. The dynamic trio plays out their roles in a recognizable way that depicts their characters throughout each episode.

Of course, high school always has to drama to complete the formula right? The drama sometimes comes from the trio of our main characters. At other times, they are influenced by outside parties such as Yumiko Miura, a popular student at school. She and Yukino are like oil and water as the two never seems to get along. Among other factors, there’s also drama involving Hachiman and his interactions with others that seemingly puts others in an uncomfortable zone. It’s a zone of drama and in this series, it’s definitely there.

Perhaps one of the strongest points I enjoyed in this series is Hachiman’s character. His personality is the type of “I don’t give a damn” about anything, whether it’s himself, others, or even the world around him. At the same time, he has strong opinions about the world. Like I mentioned before, this is usually expressed through his monologues. They have a reflexive sense of language that is philosophical, deep, but at the same time to the point. It illustrates the fact that Hachiman is cynical and at times even mean as demonstrated in one of the conversations he has with Yui. His view on his family also seems to be indifferent as shown through her interactions with his sister. The way Hachiman describes her as “brat” and “annoying” again reflects his personality. However, I find this to be very well done because it is realistic. It is how siblings act in real life because who am I kidding, no brothers and sisters can get along perfectly. Don’t believe me, just take look at Oremio.

Throughout the series, there’s also a visual sense on how lonely people behave. The interactions that Hachiman goes through seems to be forced by himself as often or not, he is unwilling to participate unless asked for. Even then, he concedes in a reluctant way. It’s not always easy to relate to him but there at many times I find his personality to be refreshing, realistic, and in the way of how his character is portrayed right. He isn’t the typical harem protagonist who can’t decide on what’s right or wrong. Rather, Hachiman is an opinionated young man with his own views on the world. Those views are in the words of his dialogues that makes up the humor and personality of his character. (oh and who am I kidding here, who can ignore those deadfish eyes and antenna like hair?)

The series does fall under some common themes though despite its refreshment. The concept of ‘students forming a club’ is not a new idea. Anime series such as Medaka Box, Haganai, and Okami-San and Her Seven Companions has this idea of students coming together at school to form a club to help others or for their own purposes. It’s been done before. At the same time, there’s also the common sister trope used in this series. Furthermore, this series doesn’t avoid some fan service or the ‘festival’ mood. Although the fan service is toned down, it’s still there with the swimsuits, cos-play, and even maid outfits. There’s even a trap in this series that distract the viewers and who am I kidding, Hachiman as well with his thoughts. The poor kid sees everything as an illusion and almost at times can’t tell differences between fiction and reality.

As regarding artwork, this series has some generic visuals. However, I find it to fit within the themes of the series by the way it’s drawn to be simple and to the point. The most obvious that stands out is Hachiman and his deadfish eyes. In fact, his eyes are never portrayed as normal but rather as the type that stands out the entire show. Am I surprised? Of course not. It fits him perfectly with his cynical personality. Then, there’s cold beauty Yukino who is drawn with electric blue eyes and long hair; a true beauty indeed. It’s definitely memorable because of how they look so differently from others in the series. It’s also important to note that because of their looks, they are different in general. I felt that the mood of this series was achieved with this portrayal of visual artwork. It sets the realism and style of our main characters that are easy to be told apart. It’s appealing and this series pulled it off right. There’s no stupid deformed characters or inconsistency. It’s down to the point and I’m grateful for that.

The soundtrack of the series has a light touch to its themes. I felt that the voice actors and actresses did an outstanding job with their performances in their roles. Hachiman’s tone is completely straight forward with no hesitation on what’s on his mind. His monologues are from his personal thoughts and I felt that Eguchi Takuya did a great performance. The cold tone and brutal honesty is also reflected in the voice of Hayami Saori. Finally, Yui’s voice actress protrays the cheerful voice to balance out the trio. The atmosphere of the show is lighthearted and thus the OST remains so as well. It’s orchestrated with slow pace and connects everything well. There’s that sense of realism to go along with it with that pacing and soundtrack makes it match. The OP song, «Yukitoki» by Nagi Yanagi shows montages of the characters and how they come together as the Service Club. Similarly the ED song, “Hello Alone” shows more of a bonding that is memorable at heart.

All in all, My Romantic Comedy SNAFU was a refreshing show for me. It’s like taking a deep breath and thinking back about youth and school life. It can also be related to many of us who has gone through the high school years along with those experiences of youth. Whether you were the popular kid, the loner, or somewhere the middle, there’s always something you can dig out from this series related to school. The main character Hachiman is one of my favorites from the Spring 2013 lineup with his personality. Whether it’s his character, his dialogues, or just himself, I loved the way he is portrayed in this series. Of course, I do feel a bit sorry for him as well at various occasions.

Regardless, this series stands out as something that definitely in my estimation to spent time on. Even if you don’t like the idea of the typical school life setting where a group of kids are in a club doing stuff to help others, I think this series right here may change your mind a bit. It may start off slow paced but that’s also how life is. For Hachiman, youth is an illusion. For me, this series’ illusion is reality that has been quite an enjoyable experience. After all, we all been through youth with a different outlook, no?

Yahari ore no seishun love comedy wa machigatteiru

Поймите правильно: я же не против гарема! Я против, мягко говоря, неправдоподобности действа. Всё это такая претенциозная высосанная чушь, что уши вянут. Не стал эту лажу даже в просмотренном оставлять, потому что это скорее дроп.

Хорошее окончание сезона, никакой сезон, совершенно не понимающий своих достоинств сериал.

Вот на сколько меня удивил в своё время второй сезон, на столько же я был разочарован третим. Пускай весь тайтл был довольно типичным слайсом с фишкой в лице двух «аналитических сухих» персонажей, но порой оно порождало такой-же сухой взгляд на реально-важные проблемы подрастающего поколения в школах и рассуждало о них. Я безумно уважал аниме за данный подход, благо слайсы это не только наивный взгляд о недопониманиях условно хороших и плохих людях. Однако едва я начал ценить то, что из излишне-обычного тайтла он стал становиться тайтлом с комментарием. как случился 3-й сезон, который в ускоренном темпе даёт крупную арку с подготовкой балла и финальную микро-арку для красивого РОМАНТИЧЕСКОГО финала. Никаких комментарием, никаких личностных проблем персонажей, даже любовный треугольник, чьё признание всеми персонажами словно не держало зрителя за идиота и давало довольно интересную дейспозицию на будущее. здесь сводят в довольно обычное русло.

Это хорошее аниме. Правда. И сезон, и весь сериал. Просто при осознании отсутствия его комплексности как комедии, романтики и драмы, оно становится попросту максимально не обязательным. Увы, сериал просто не понимает что с самим собой делать, при вполне себе ощутимом прогрессе во 2-м сезоне. Увы.

2 из 5. Всему сериалу и в особенности финалу.

Увы, оценка сериала лишь больше подчеркивает проблему современного аниме: аниме-романтика не столь важна и интересна западному зрителю, от чего её становится всё меньше. А чем меньше представителей жанра, тем выше оценивают хоть сколько-то нормальные романтический тайтлы. И пока мувики ещё как-то успешно продают нам «любовь», сериалы посвящённые этому словно стагнируют. И это безумно обидно.

Не очень понимаю в какой момент достаточно легкие и позитивные слайсы с налетом романтики превратились в форсед драму с достаточно притянутой за уши задумкой когда школьники даже не на последнем году обучения вдруг начали задаваться вопросами которые люди обычно обдумывают годам эдак к 25, если не позже. Банально нужен жизненный опыт чтобы задаваться подобным. Опыт которого нет и на который совершенно ничего не намекает.
Разве что они пересмотрев дорам решили поиграть во взрослых решая проблемы которых у них в буквальном смысле нет. Я бы еще мог понять если бы события свелись только к романтике, в конце концов это один из основных вариантов развития и окончания истории первых сезонов. Треугольник, конец к которому все должно придти и т.д. Но вместо этого в центре сюжета у нас внезапно становится Юкиношита которой срочно нужно самореализоваться и выслужиться перед родителями. Причем градус драмы и важности проблемы показательно задран настолько высоко что всю первую половину в аниме царит гнетущее ощущение что она будто больна раком и скоро умрет, и это ее желание это буквально последнее что можно сделать перед смертью и все это понимают. На самом деле даже кажется что вообще все стоят на грани гибели и мы сейчас переживаем последние дни человечества и впереди только тлен и разруха.

На этом фоне на удивление хорошо показана Юи размышляя в довольно здравом ключе и вообще всячески показывая вменяемого персонажа с мировоззрением адекватным как ее возрасту так и в целом возникающим проблемам.
И тут хочется немного сказать о концовке:

Хики как всегда типичен в своих качествах для подобного рода персонажей. Человек с придуманными принципами которые определяются лишь течением сценария и подгоняются под желаемое действо.

Бонусом последние две серии которые выглядят как Орегаиру которого мы ждали и которого толком не получили. Персонажи начинают вести себя более беззаботно, возвращается позитивный контекст и теплая атмосфера сериала которая многим так полюбилась. По большому счету учитывая откровенную натянутость на глобус и бесполезность всей основной фабулы сезона я бы посоветовал ограничиться просмотром этих двух серий. Вы ничего не потеряете и при этом получите долгожданную концовку.
Музыка не впечатлила. OP и ED меркнут на фоне прошлых а музыка из самого сериала напоминает банки бесплатных треков откуда-то из интернета.
