Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

Hey y'all. This series was a nice watch, and it is the first one i finished on a weekly episode basis.

Words that i would use to describe this anime would be cynical, sarcastic, harsh and truthful. I enjoyed it because it was totally different from other animes, and i found it a nice change of pace.

The main character, Hikigaya Hachiman is a isolated loner with no friends who was forced to join a club called the 'neighbors club'. In fact only he and a girl known as the renowned ice-queen, Yukino Yukinoshita are the only members in this club. Both have their own cynical views on their highschool life and are loners, but it is later revealed that they went through unpleasant experiences during their early years thus making them albeit twisted.

The neighbors club take on requests from students in their school which ranges from helping them to bake cookies, detective work and etc.

I especially love how this anime delivers the truth of how relationships work and how hachiman plays the bad guy most of the time. Truthfully i feel kinda sad for him because nobody realizes how much he does for them because he usually solves their problems in a way that only he can solve them. Usually they end up hating him.

The last episode nearly had me in tears because i saw that he was actually broken by what we call 'society' and its norms, forcing him to take on a harsher, more crude personality to cope with how horribly he is treated. He uses this as a defense mechanism.

I can say with a straight face that i want a friend/mentor like him. Hikigaya hachiman doesn't bother to sugarcoat his words, and delivers all who watch this anime his strange theories on relationships backed up by his whacked logic. You can choose whether or not to take his words seriously, but personally i do. I find that the stuff he says is true to a certain extent, but i won't swear by it though.

Keke i think this may be my favourite anime of this season.

Hachiman and Yukino figuring out how to bake. Lol cute.

Plot: Just like any other school life anime, but it felt more interesting because of the characters. 7/10

Characters: I love hikigaya and yukino, they liven up the series by a large margin and i enjoy their own brand of humor. 8/10

Recommendation: 5/5
