This just keeps getting better. It kinda seemed like he could talk to the popular kids with ease and it was funny Also stupid that he was prepared to beg them instead of play against them. The blond was really dumb and annoying. Great episode.

Also things that interested me this episode was the mention of a car accident and I think I heard something that sounded like he has a little sister.

Ya know I really like this show. I like how Hiki is ok with his singularity. His self depricating comments to that popular boy was entertaining. Normally I woud feel bad for someone who says things like that, but Hiki says things because they are true not for pitty. I also enjoy how he is slowly evolving and making relationships.

Hachiman's thoughts really sold the show for me, always fun to see what he thinks about each situation,and his inner monologues are quite funny in my opinion. Did not expect him to use the air to his advantage but it was cool when he did.

His problem never was about him not being able to talk to people,the problem is the way he thinks.He had a very bad time in the middle school which only lead to one way -> introvertion + hating the society+seeks to get rid of his teenage needs like attention(its self-explanatory when you think of introvertion) and girls.

so far so good. i like the blonde haired girl btw. hope she becomes a regular member but i could definitely do without the guy with the glasses. actually, outside of Hikki and Blondy i dont much care for anyone else on here yet. actually, nevermind i kinda like the guy who's always with Blondy, he seems pretty cool.

I am 100% sure you are trolling here.The blonde girl is a total bitch,the blonde guy is nice but what he's not aware of is that he basically cant live without the atention he gets,he's kinda the opposite of Hikki.


not trolling at all. she's a bitch but she's a bitch who's proud of being a bitch. that takes guts and i can respect that. and she's not just a little bitchy either, she' full on 200% super bitchy.

she's similar too Hikki when you think about it. he's a loner but he's a proud loner, the King of Loners even. so yeah, what he is to loners she is to bitches.

as for the blonde guy. whats wrong with wanting a little attention? he doesn't come off as annoying he's just a nice guy who likes to have fun. nothing wrong with that in my book.


It's not like she's proud being a bitch. That's just the only thing she knows how to do. In case you didn't notice, she's absolutely dumb. Empty head. Zero intelligence. Ignorant beyond repair. At least that's the impression I got from this episode. Her role is to be an extreme stereotype, the opposite of Yukino.

I'm not saying she's a bad character, or unnecessary or anything. Just that you probably shouldn't hold any high expectations.

One more thing which keeps getting clearer and clearer to me.Yukino has about the same way of thinking as Hikki.The only difference is that Yukino holds grudges while Hikki doesnt(or seems so to this point).In fact she has bigger issues than Hikki.
Also the stereotype or cliche call it whatever.Yui joining the club it's a total cliche,she's the girl which joined to stay around Hikki and gain some skills to impress him.While Yukino seems the girl that does nothing but as she gets to know more about Hikki she'll fall for him.

So, of course even though they didn't tell him and they didn't block the door, they physically attack him when he walks into the club room while they are changing. Really?

Also somewhat puzzled as to the purpose of accepting the match challenge, but whatever, it was interesting to watch and the things going on around it were amusing.

i think you're making one too many assumptions at this point because i haven't heard anything from her that makes me beleives she's an idiot. so whats make you say she has zero intelligence? the only 2 people who strike me as being that dumb are uhh....whats her name? short hair girl and the kid with the glasses. those two are about the onlys i'd call empty headed.

as for her only knowing how to be a bitch as opposed to enjoying being a bitch difference of opinion i suppose because thats not how she comes off to me. but we'll find out sooner or later if and when they explore her character

1. Well that's the trope. It also was a good follow-up (thanking the romcom gods for it) after the previous scene (cursing the romcom gods for the b/b g/g end of the match). They seem to like pointing out the obvious tropes whether they uphold or subvert them.

2. Hachiman doesn't like the popular kids or the way school (and general) society is ordered around them. Yukino doesn't like bullies. Yui wants to be friends with everyone and felt obliged to support Hachiman and Saika. It made some sense for each of them to participate based on those factors.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Yet another trap still thinking it's a girl you won't fool me anime!

as for Hayato hope he really is a nice guy he seems like it but most characters like that tend to have a fake smile until they show their true colors,while the blonde bitch just seems to be there for the sake of well.. being a bitch.

Still waiting on the white ponytailed girl from the op she looks like the next club member.

Tennis ball straight to the face! I don't even apologize that I was laughing at him when it happened.

Tennis battle, eh? Nothing like Price of Tennis, how sad. Still pretty great.

Still waiting for the episode when the preppy girl gets taken down or needs the help of the club. I really hope she doesn't stay so unbearable for the entire show, and this episode didn't really take her down as much is at elevated the Hayato guy...

Yui's impression of Yukino at the beginning of the episode was funny because it was so spot on. And then she mentioned the car accident. Obviously she's involved somehow.

The Tennis game was enjoyable to watch. Don't know if I should call Yukino's comment about 'Hachiman being the one to settle' as a form of dependence/trust or just words of encouragement. Oh and Mr. Chuunibyou is starting to get annoying.

Either way, I loved this episode as well! Always fun to watch every week.

Pretty cool episode.
They kind of really went deeper into that whole Loner vs Popular thing and man that girl was a bitch.

Kind of sucks in the end since it's like they won, but no one gives a fuck because of the blonde dude 'saving' the bitch. I just thought 'REALLY?'

I don't find that to be true... I see Hachiman and Yukinon as huge jerks....its just that the story if from their viewpoint.

Later in life, Hachiman and Yukinon would be terrible people to work with.

Hikigaya manipulating the ball using the wind to his advantage and using the side of the racket instead! Reminds me of PoT!

It was also exciting Yukino joined... too bad they lost the battle.
And why is Saika a guy? Didn't see this comin.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that I personally thought Haichiman and Yukinon are good people. I meant like they justify being alone in a way that makes them see themselves as above others or smarter for not having a group mentality or friends to depend on.

You know,uhmmm,the doors have windows and they were changing right in front of those doors.
About that scene with Hachiman settling the score.I said it before she's a loner too but Hachiman is proud of being a loner while Yukino suffers from it.
These are only assumptions but it explains the scene with the settling the score.She saw him how he plays and that he plays alone,remember that the window of the club has a direct view on the sport grounds.She saw him eating alone,enjoying the breeze.Also she kinda read him that he's proud of being a loner and have scores to settle with those 2 so after she settled her score she gave him the chance to revenge.Only a loner understands and reads a loner.

I think I'll end up dropping Yahari after a few weeks. Everything about this show is just sad. Not even the comedy elements (like Hiki's flashbacks, that I find particularly hilarious) can save it.

It can easily be compared to a bad version of Haganai, except they genderbended Yozora and made her the MC (Hikigayozora, the fucking antisocial bastard, hates everyone for no apparent reason).

That Hayato guy, that poor Hayato guy. He did nothing wrong from the start and Hiki hated him. He was actually trying to calm that blonde bitch down, then Hiki started to thrash him up for being popular. Classical Schyozora.

And those two girls, Yukino 'n Yui. Yui is just lesbian for Yukino. They end up both tossing Hiki aside (you can guess why), which just depresses me.

I just don't know. Maybe Gin Chuunibyou Hirano Kohta will keep me interested. I'm on the verge of dropping this. It's just not worth it. Those two first episodes were kinda interesting, but everything is just too sad (bad memories from early middle school, for me).
