'Fake people have an image to maintain, real people just don't care!', TRUE indeed.
Basically, this show is centered about a loner called Hikigaya Hachiman, NOT a very attractive name or looks for the protagonist, BUT then again those are the points about which the whole story of this show rotates. It is the personality and the 'real' image of this guy that makes this story one of the most unique things ever!!
Then we have the heroin - 'the-ice-cold-beauty', Yukino Yukinoshita, another loner. The 'self made' Miss perfectionist, the healer of anyone's problems. The rebellion against the society. Although behind all the facade and beauty covers,
...
even this young woman has her own problems, problems which no one is aware of, nor does she want anyone to be aware of because according to her - 'relying on people is a weakness'.
They are later joined by the happy-go-lucky-always-friendly Yui Yuigahama, who is having her own problems.
All in all, this is by far one of the best anime I've ever seen. The first thing that fits this show right is that it's totally unique. And of course as the name itself, suggests - not your usual teen romantic comedy!, and indeed it isn't the usual sappy teen romance story, the kind of love at first sight or other idiotic themes like that.
The show probes into more deep and realistic themes. The philosophy of the main character is something that everyone is aware of in their day-to-day lives, but they never have enough courage or understanding to speak it out loud. Hikigaya Hachiman may very well become, the favorite character of any individual watching this show. His realistic+pessimistic take on life, BANG ON ! potraits everything about life. The truth of relationships, the number of masks that people go around wearing, and the time to time loner 101.
The show has it's HILARIOUS moments, Romantic moments and seriously making-you-reflective-on-life moments. With awesome art ( although season does even better in that section), music and amazing story, this si one to watch before you die. NO, let me rephrase it - ' You HAVE to watch it before you die!'.
