This season made me happy... when it ended. God damn this whole series sucks. I did a review for the first season and I got a lot of criticism that it was confusing and not well written. So I will try my best to explain it to you why this series is ass and how it's not what it shows itself to be, also why you should not waste your time on this.
Premise:
Now I am sure we all know this is just a simple slice of life of story. It revolves around the main character Hikigaya who thinks he has what it takes to help others. The main goal of the story from the 1st season was pretty clear even though its not mentioned anywhere which is for Hiki to build relationships from the club which his teacher forced him into in the beginning of the story. In the first season we get to see Hiki's interaction…

Oregairu for a while was the darling of many a video essay dissecting something or other about the anime’s main character Hachiman, who people find to be relatable I guess because he’s cynical. It starts off as what seems to be a satire of the romantic comedy, which then turns into a sort of vague critique of youth, before ending as a kind of tragedy. The second season rolls around and the story’s as aimless as ever until the introduction of Iroha. From there, the story finally manages to assume some sort of identity as something you’d see in the harem genre. A revolving door of love interests come and go Hachiman’s way and spend time with him while the thin, bare excuse for a plot plods along: a story where nothing seems to happen and everything seems to take up far too much time. There i…

Well, i came for the comedy when I watched S1 years ago, even sometimes in the future i will watched it again just for fun, hikigaya problems are really relatable, the show gave a really hard slaps on your younger days stupid behavior which is fun. seems like the author chose to have casual romance approach for S2 and S3, which I personally find sucks.
I mean S1 you can actually see that hikigaya's romcom is going wrong, meanwhile S2 to S3 is basically your casual riaju romcom nothing wrong with it. S2 and S3 is just your typical riajuu having hard time choosing his best girl while enjoying push and pull harem life.
My conclusion if you enjoy the comedy and having casual watch sticks with S1, if you're looking for an outcast to riiaju transformation just go ahead to S3, S1 is almost compl…

I really wanted to like this anime, season 1 would be the best, season 2 so so, but season 3 completely destroyed it
This is most pretentious anime I have ever seen in my life
Fod God´s sake, which teenager talks like Yukino and Hachiman in real life?
Most of things Yukino and Hachimans say doesnt make any sense
They made story about prom so dramatic as people´s life depend on that
Yukino acts like someone who has autism
Hachiman is Mary Sue character, who knows everything, has solution for everything, and everyone love him
What a joke of anime and pretentious as hell.

(TLDR at the bottom and spoilers ahead)
Each season on oregairu has a distinct identity, while not much happens in the first season it is enjoyable seeing the constant back and forth between Hachiman and Yukino while Yui tries to mediate between the two personalities. The second season has the bonds between the characters deepen, so it’s kind of enjoyable as a character drama. If the first season is the comedy part of the title the second season is the love part of it.
So how does season 3 create its own identity?
It doesn’t, it is a an overgrown tumour ripped of the back of the second seasons back and presented as its own season and were forced to see It crawl to what can hardly be considered ending.
The third season can be split into two distinct sections, Yui getting over the fact t…

This review will be about s3 ultimately but is heavily based on the experience of the series as a whole.
As we at long last have reached the apotheosis of Oregairu’s, I’ve to look back at all developments and regretfully admit that I’ve never understood Oregairu and its intentions with its commentary essentially. Oregairu has touched a lot of people’s hearts, and at some point, in time I, too, was engaged in Hachiman’s social loneliness endeavours – yet I stand here confused and appalled by how shallow everything turned out to be.
This season was easily an ultimate snorefest if I’ve ever saw one. Outside the occasional decent character interaction - which are sparse to find – the entire season focuses on one central task and the resulting conflicts that come with this task. Summarized a…

There have been a considerable amount of generic romcom anime over the past 10 or so years that are filled with mediocrities and barely have any distinct features to speak of. When I first heard about Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (shortly known as Oregairu), I thought it was just another addition to that vast list. Though, after a while, I decided to give it a watch anyway.
And guess what? I found out that my assumptions about this show couldn't have been more wrong. What I thought was going to be really boring and mediocre has now become one of my all time favorites, and I'm currently writing an extremely positive review for its third and final season. (Not specifically, though. You can say that I kinda reviewed the entire series of Oregairu here.)
As a big fan of…

How about shut the fck up? lul
Oregairu is the type of stuff that is killing the writing in Anime industry. At least the generic isekai openly admit that they suck. This, however tries to be more than what it really is and that is a very poor highschool drama filled with extremely cringe-worthy and corny characters acting way too unrealistic for their age.
Honestly this didn't deserve past the first season. Problem with Anime like these are that characters acting far too unrealistic and mature for their age and that makes things extremely uninteresting like NO. I am not going to take them seriously unless it's a seinen show with actual grown up characters.
Season 3 wasn't anything different. In fact, it somehow surpassed the first 2 seasons in being absolute c…

As someone who had their fair share of drama and romance during my high school days, I’ll provide my two cents on this finale season.
What initially drew me to this anime was the comedy and wittiness of the MC, Hachiman, and his little funny monologues. I watched the first season maybe four or five years ago and I went through a kind of “edgy,” nihilistic outcast phase, so I found him funny and somewhat relatable. In this season, Hachiman still has that vibe, but he just doesn’t seem as funny as before. Comedy-wise, this season is greatly lacking. I think the the biggest portion of humor is usually derived from Hachiman’s internal quips, but they feel very misplaced due to the nature of the plot.
Speaking of the plot, this season is 100% drama. I think that’s my biggest issue with this…

TLDR: A very poor buildup to what is a generally good ending to an outstanding anime series. Sprinkled with some emotional moments supported by the amazing production done by Studio feel. I will miss this series for the experience for the foreseeable future.
[Light Spoilers Ahead]
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, or My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected is many things. A pilgrimage destination for people who set out to quench their thirst for finding something genuine masterfully created genre-breaking romantic comedy full of ironic tension and witty dialogue, a journey exploring the themes of self-realization, inferiority complex, cynicism, and social awkwardness.
At least, that was what we were promised. The first two seasons of Oregairu did this well by…

I will preface this by saying that I'm not a fan of dramas but I do find one occasionally that is written so well that I actually enjoy it, so take that how you will.
Having watched the entire show I can say that this season is more of the same as the second season, so if you didn't like that like I didn't then don't put yourself through this like I did.
Story 1
Story is rather nonexistent, as is expected of a slice of life. This show is all about the characters.
Art 3
The art is bland and still worse than first season which at least had some flair to it.
sound 5
Sound design is mostly mediocre, that's about all I can say for that.
character 2
The characters are at best stupid, and at worst boring. Most of the show is characters talking, which I find ironic, when you take into acc…

The announcement of Oregairu getting a season 3 was definitely an emotional moment for me. In the 5 years that have passed since I watched the first two seasons, I went from being an ignorant teenager thinking that Hachiman in season 1 was some sort of philosophical genius, to realising that his behaviour represented how flawed he was as a person. These flaws of his are what make up the core of the series, which takes me to my main point about this season:
Oregairu season 3 is not the most interesting season of the three since the main problem in the story has already been addressed in season 2.
Some people put this down to poor writing, but I honestly feel like this works out pretty well. You see this "genuine" thing has two layers to it. One is just the mutual acceptance of the nature…

Now that the journey for the genuine article has ended, the progress from the previous season was severed. For the plot have went off the rails, and devolved to it's weaknesses, dragged to death, the substance has abandoned ship. For what value has left? When it's was already spent. What words could have been said, was tainted, it's pretentious already. A social commentary, as everyone perceived, but rarely seen for what it really is, a mirror hidden in plain sight, a work of self reflection for it's own audience. It should have ended earlier already, nothing else is left to said, the melodrama has made the water bitter, in the river of a good end. As we follow our beloved hero, through the dreaded snow of boredom, the season of winter, as it comes. As it becomes a shell of it's former sel…

To me Oregairu has always been the Rick and Morty of anime. It's pretentious, it's pseudo deep, it wants to be so intelligent and clever yet fails to do so. For the life of me I have tried to understand what people see in this series besides waifus and I really can't. Oregairu Kan offers no real change in that regard, other than more Yui, which for me is the only reason I didn't give this a 1/10.
Everyone who reads my MAL reviews knows I am very generous when it comes to scoring and hand out 9s and 10s very easily. Yet, I've given this season of Oregairu my 2nd lowest score ever. Why? Simple. The main point of this season is the kids trying to plan a prom, which doesn't even exist in Japan in the first place. But, ok. I can see doing something fresh and original for your senior year.

(TL;DR at the end)
After five full years, Oregairu season three is the long awaited climax of this fantastic series! It’s amazing to see how far Hachiman (best boy) and friends have come from their awkward first encounters. Hachiman’s grown an incredible amount from the way he used to over complicated situations to his own detriment in order to achieve the desired outcome. As sad as it may be, we are finally given a conclusion to the situations that were prevalent between him, the main girls, and their families who happen to also be his closest friends.
“Realism is just mild pessimism.” ― Psychology
Oregairu shows us how one who accepts and embraces life as “being terrible” lives his life. Hachiman has become something of a spirit animal for many people in the anime community by always…

All good things must come to an end and here we are, the final season of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax. You know that feeling when you finally move away from your closest friend since childhood? That’s the kind of feeling I got after this final season concluded.
It almost feels too good to be true. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU started as a coming of age show that turned itself into a social storyteller. There’s no anime this year that I can relate more to this anime and in fact, I’m pleased to say it’s one I can relate to the most. As our main characters enter another stage in their lives, they have to also face the future together, with their thoughts, feelings, and how they’ve changed. Like teens their age, is it a time to reinvent themselves? What is their purpose in life? How…

Ah, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru (aka Oregairu), what a journey. For those waiting 4 years or those waiting a few days to finish Oregairu, the wild ride has finally come to a stop and we can sit back and enjoy the final moments of the fantastic trio of Yui Yuigahama, Hikigaya Hachiman, and Yukino Yukinoshita (as well as all the brilliant side character). To some, this review might seem like a rave of why I love Oregairu but I believe this show is a painful experience that all anime watchers should bear. Now let's cut to the chase, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru Kan is masterful. No, not a masterpiece, but not yet as bad as an excellent show. Yes, I may have said it was a masterpiece last review, but that was swayed by th…

Oregairu finishing its final season was certainly something else. Brain’s Base and feel. both did a phenomenal job when it came to adapting their seasons, and I hope that most of the people reading this can agree with that. While I haven’t been with the Service Club for their 7-year animated run, the 5 years wait between the two feel. seasons was certainly worth it in the end. Well, for the most part.
Because I feel like Oregairu Kan is conflicting. Looking at the show without the lens of somebody who’s poured a disgusting amount of time rewatching it, this season is rather disappointing. I’ll save you from having to read a summary, but essentially the story boils down to three topics: Prom, Codependency, and Gahamama. I’m kidding. Slightly. The story picking up from where they left off i…

The closer you get to someone, the higher the chances you get hurt, and the higher the risk of you ruining your relationship with them. The more time you spend with them, the stronger the bond becomes. However, at some point, you must face reality i.e. to farewell them. It may be due to several reasons like shifting abroad, changing or graduating from school. Once you no longer have a common interest/goal, you become distant willingly or unwillingly. Those bonds you once formed with others rusts away. Even if you promise to keep in touch with them, either you move on or they do. Those bonds you once formed, break apart and now only serve as your memories; memories you may look back on with melancholy or a smile. If you’re one of those who moves on unwillingly i.e. you keep in touch with th…

SPOILER FREE REVIEW!
Just here to write that this was by far Oregairu's best season. You get to see so much more depth into everyone's character, especially to Iroha's xD. The confession of Hachiman to Y (can't really tell now can I?) was by far THE BEST anime confession of all time and funny thing is that the word love wasn't even used during the entire confession. This season made you feel happy for Hachiman, sad af for the loser and very very happy for Iroha because well, she is best girl she got an amazing amount of screen time. The music was on point, especially the ED and the way this story progressed, giving insight of Sensei's views and Haruno's views was amazing. We get to meet Yukino's and Yui's mothers and see how amazing both of them are. Overall, I feel like if Re Zero season…
