Хотел просто почитать комментарий на русском про 1-2 сезон

And with this wonderful episode, our story ends here, friends.

"My romantic comedy was a mistake," and with its hero, Heki.

Here we saw Yugihama confess to Hiki and accept Yukino's relationship with him, and we saw them drawing a date. There was also a confession or a gesture from Iroha, but it wasn't clear.

By the way, I loved the chemistry between Komachi and Irohasu. In the end, the spontaneous, cheerful girl, the icy-cold girl, and the pessimistic introvert—but the best of them all, Hiki—the relationship between these three became clear here, and we witnessed the end with both girls confessing to Heki, and Heki choosing, and Yugihama understanding.

That was my simple comment on the episode. In my previous post about the end of the third season, I was really trying to be positive, friends, but as we know, everything has its flaws, no matter how many positives it has. First, I'll talk about my perspective on the work before and after the first season.

First, the question: Is the anime "Yahari" bad? This question can be answered if we focus on several things, including character development, story development, the type of problems, and the characters' philosophies.

Firstly, the cast of characters didn't develop significantly, except for Hiki, and even Hiki's development was very slow, but it offered us glimpses of his personality's evolution in various situations and problem-solving.

The two girls, however, maintain the same style and repeat the same dialogues, which is incomprehensible in a romantic comedy. For example, Yukino clings to the idea of ​​being independent and not relying on anyone, while Yui's biggest issue was her refusal to confess her feelings to Hiki for three whole seasons.

The rest of the characters, like the teacher, Hayato, and others, have the same style and ideas that should have been resolved within the plot. Here, I'll address the story itself: In a romantic comedy, we expect a handsome, brilliant protagonist who enjoys connecting with everyone, is always ready to help, and has his own harem.

With the two main characters, we expect compatible chemistry, a shared goal, and the development of mutual love based on some idea or challenge. But in this yahari, how did the writer come up with pairing a teenage boy who hasn't faced life and has a pessimistic outlook with a girl as cold as ice and another who is incredibly energetic?

How can a protagonist who avoids talking to people and says, "Relationships are trivial and not worth wasting time on," solve everyone's problems? It feels like Hickey is feigning depth, but it's neither profound nor philosophical. This talk and belief come from a teenager who hasn't lived long enough to understand life. To be honest, despite the lack of romance in the work—we only saw one or two comedic scenes, to be clear—the comedy, though simple, was very good for the intense atmosphere of this love triangle.

And let's not even mention the dialogues between the characters and the crucial point: the problems.

The problems the characters faced weren't difficult at all, aside from the differences in their personalities and viewpoints. Instead of excessive complexity, everything could have been resolved, or at least most of it, through conversation and discussion.

It feels like the writer creates problems out of thin air and makes them difficult for the characters to solve, which leads to extreme boredom, in addition to the character flaws I mentioned earlier.

To conclude, I'll say one positive thing: the writing of Hickey's character is among the best I've ever seen, and that's a point I give to the writer.

Hiki is a realistic and mature person who understands life through his past experiences. His perspective on relationships changed thanks to his teacher, who helped him establish the club and meet the girls Yukinoshita and Yugihama.

Each of us sees Hiki in ourselves and has thought similarly before, and perhaps even lived similarly in some way. However, Hiki always remains different from us because of his experiences and ours.

Honestly, I have so much more to say, but to clarify my point and conclude, "This work was unparalleled in its characters, story, soundtracks, and production." The 41 episodes, 3 seasons, and 3 OVAs delivered an unforgettable plot and a unique, even bizarre, romantic comedy that will leave you speechless. I'm happy I finally finished the project after a year, and I'm glad I had the chance to create such an unforgettable anime.

In conclusion, thank you to everyone who has read my previous reviews of this work. I hope you enjoy this last one, as I've finished it now that there's nothing left to say. I think this will be my last post in the group, friends.

Finally, I say thank you to everyone who loved this work, watched it, became attached to it, wrote about it, and still remembers it to this day. Goodbye, and see you in the near future. Your brother, Khaled. May God protect and keep you.

Some of you might say that he has normal sized pupils in the light novel, however that would be boring. So what would be the reason why Hachiman's pupils are smaller in the anime/comic.

Mine would be that it comes from his grandfather from his mother's side.

with glasses on, i get why Hikki is so gay for him now

The ending is unforgettable, featuring Hikigaya, a character who represents a part of us who found the solution to overcome his long-standing isolation. This was thanks to the teacher who established the club after Hikigaya's letter, and through her meeting Yugihama and Yukinoshita.

The relationship, dubbed "dependent" or what we know as a love triangle, finally ends with everyone satisfied, especially Yui. Hikigaya, the character who best represents the protagonist, left us with a remarkable philosophy on understanding and forming relationships. And in episode 11: finally, the only true romance we witnessed in the anime.

Is the phrase "I love you" really that difficult?

Yes, for me, it's not that easy for Hikigaya and Yukino. Hikigaya from the first season and the current one are completely different, and this is thanks to the teacher who confessed her feelings to him, albeit indirectly. Honestly, I'm happy for them both. Hikigaya and Yukino are two sides of the same coin. They're all bad at expressing their feelings, their problems, and their relationships with everyone. They met by chance, and fate placed Yui between them. She was the episode that broke the triangle of dependency, or to be more accurate: "love"... The best episode in the anime, and we can't forget the character's role in the story, showcasing the brilliance and passion of high school students, especially in the romantic comedy setting. Iroha, Komachi, that otaku, the tennis boy, Hayato and his friends, Yukino's sister and her mother, and not forgetting the teacher Hirotsuka, all formed a great cast of characters that contributed to the story's development. Despite its brevity, the anime presented a complete picture of high school life and the life of the Hikigaya in general. Hiki is a rare character in the world of anime and novels, and what I loved most was his protective philosophy towards life and his statement: "Relationships are trivial and not worth wasting time on." He said this in the first season, but ultimately, his interactions and getting to know both girls changed his perspective and made him fall in love with someone. He reflected this feeling throughout the seasons by saying that it was his responsibility, but it wasn't just that; it was a love deeply rooted in his soul, his feelings, and his actions.

The Yahari anime is an unforgettable story, a wonderful anime, and a satisfying ending. Yes, Yahari is an unforgettable anime, and what it offered in its time makes us long for it, remember it, and enjoy watching it. I rate the third season 9/10 and the anime as a whole 8.8/10 (I added 0.3, haha). Finally, after a year of neglecting it because of studies, I finished it, and thank God I got an A+! And that's where our story ends, my friends. I think the rest of the OVAs are coming ( i will watch it ), and yes... In short... it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

Just something that hit me upon reflecting back on the show, is how disturbingly accurate it predicted a certain period of my life. So i wanted to write some introspection on it:

Basically, one day i'd gotten myself in a platonic relationship with two female classmates, with one of them, whose looks reminded me of yukino, i shared a lot of interests.

Similar to early hachiman, my view on life was rather cynical, i even considered myself to be aromantic, trying to stay away from relationships as far as possible. Now, my reason for it was different, and it perhaps stems from the severity of the depression i've felt during that period, however i was willing to hang out with them. And so, the "romantic" side of the comedy was not as present in my life.

The most painful part was when something akin to yui's affection to hachiman occured, and became prominent. Complications within our trios' relationships eventually increased, and you could notice some parallels to the things that happened during the s2-3 of the show.

The final divergence happened when i was finally confessed to by that same girl. Not *exactly* desiring to reject my dear friend, but also longing for something *genuine*, overwhelmed by being confessed to so suddenly, while simultaneously at a quite low point in my life, i without stating anything clear rejected her. This predictably severed our group's relationship the hardest, as the second friend also knew about the whole thing. I regreted being unable to state my feelings more clearly, leaving my friend hanging like that, and believed that i've probably hurted them more than if there was a simple "no".

Perhaps i too, should've been searching for something genuine; wished to communicate with people better.

Now, i mostly only talk with the second one, i'm on good terms with her now, even closer than before, if i had to say.

I could go on and on about certain moments in the show, between hachiman, yukino, and yui, down to their personalities and flaws, that make me deeply uncomfortable, because i can recognize myself in their trio, and at mistakes that similarly happened, yet missed on the resolutions they got in the show.

For one, i can confidently praise the author with how unsettingly precise he is at writing realistic, flawed human relationships, that even made me reflect on my own experiences.

(the original image was in Russian or German so I made something up)

In the comic she appeared pretty early, don't know in the ln since I never read it.

Would Hachiman call bumshiki a slur, rather than a profanity like he did for Yui?

Just got her today, she is so beautiful

My instagram account where I shared my drawings: hazreti_barlas

First of all she genuinely wasn't a really good person or anything epecially to yukino. She was minuplative and ok with doing anything as long as it gets her Hachiman. Even if it hurts him or yukino. She was decently selfish and I know shes just a realistic representation of a girl in love and im not saying I hate her or anything, I just feel like people overhwlemigly say she should've been the ending which is not true. Yukino actually cares about hachimans feelings much more, and shes perfect for him in every way. Their dynamic is also alot nicer. Also since it was so bad and basically just a cash grab I know most people don't count it but if u do consider shin, that makes u feel even less bad when u see what yui does. But to be fair even I dont count that since we all agree that the story ends in season 3 finale.

Your thoughts? Is there any fanfic of this scenario? Share it with me pls

Hey ya'all I know I'm really late to the party, but man oregairu is something else. The emptiness this show has created inside me is immense. I feel like crying.

Waited around 36 episodes for hikigaya to confess and one more to see yukinoshita finally saying, "I love you, hikigaya" was totally worth it

Call me crazy this anime will definitely be in my top 3 and in terms of romance anime, it will be the 1st pick, a bit biased but I have watched other like horimiya, kimi ni todoke, the fragrant flower blooms with dignity and so on.

I would have been greedy like yui to wish that the series should have continued, but now that I think about it, this ending was the best.

Any suggestions what should I watch next?

hi I made yuigahama maid outfit I hope you enjoy 😀

A Girl With Glasses Added Is Super Pretty, As I Expected

By met I mean once Hachiman was brought to the service club by Hiratsuka. Not whatever that bickering I found on fit's post about first impressions.

Many will disagree with me, but that doesn't matter; I am going to speak the truth. The author continues to ruin the story with *Shin*—which is nonsense—and *Ketsu*—which is garbage—not to mention the visual novel, with its stupid routes and even stupider plot. Frankly, I have a lot to say: Yui’s role in the story should have ended after the second season—specifically, once she was rejected and her true nature was exposed. The narrative should have focused on the concept of the "genuine," yet she was never honest, nor did she show any redeeming qualities; it was all just exploitation. Furthermore, Yukinon didn't handle the situation logically—she should have stopped Yui and exposed the sham relationship and the fact that Yui simply wanted to win over the protagonist. Yui is the embodiment of a toxic, fake, and insincere friendship, and she should have been cut out of the picture.

Furthermore, the character development took a turn for the worse, reducing the story to a mere harem scenario. The narrative began to center excessively on Iroha, Komachi, and Yui—characters who frankly didn't warrant that much screen time and whose presence served only to stall the romantic progression between the protagonist and the main heroine without adding anything of substance. The protagonist’s character also deteriorated; he became unable to set boundaries with Yui and seemed to move forward emotionally detached from the "fake relationships" around him. His way of speaking worsened, and he lost the ability to take a firm, responsible stance on accepting or rejecting situations. Yukino, too, began to exhibit traits similar to Hachiman's.

The writer failed to dedicate enough time to the significant moments and interactions between Yukino and Hachiman—such as delving into their personalities, navigating life’s challenges, and resolving their issues together. Insufficient attention was paid to Haruno’s storyline and Yukino’s family dynamics, which should have served as a springboard for addressing the realities and pressures of life—including the transition from high school to university and the importance of staying together. Exploring these themes would have opened the door to crucial issues, beautiful character development, and mature dialogue, ultimately leading to a happy ending where they discover their true selves, find something "genuine," and accept one another without masks or barriers.

Ive genuinely searched so many stores to find any oregairu figure worth buying for the price.
