Alright when I first watched the show I didn't find it that special but some time later when I re-watched both season I found myself to admire this piece of masterpiece. The Soliloquy-- that Hachiman processes was expertly and awesomely written.

There are 3 rules of reviewing-
First rule- No anime is shit
Second rule-No anime is shit
Third anime-No anime is shit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is based on the following parameters--
1)What is good about it?
2)(Probability of)Whom'll the anime appeal to?
3)Questions that other reviews raised in your head.
P.S.-If you don't wan to read the whole, read the summary at the end of every question.
======================================
1)What is good about it?
Each story has a flow meaning how it is presented, what it presents and why was it even presented, so here you have a High School Average loner guy Hikigaya Hachiman -with the dead fish eyes- who has a crazy but quite logical way of thinking, "Stay away from people, stay away from problems". Now he is put in a situation where he has to help other people with their problems as club activity and ofcourse it is forced upon him by his over too friendly (but sexy) homeroom teacher. So that's that but now lets talk about what is special about it from other rom-coms.
First of all a (mostly true) fact, the anime that are adapted from light novels have kind of kickass dialogues but in this one each and every monologue and dialogue was skillfully badass-lly written and executed.
Animation and music was good. It was quite suitable for a romcom and gave the characters a good overall.
Hikigaya-kun is faced with his rival Yukino-chan who is charming, beautiful, too smart, too rich and uhh loner..yea right... Now the smartass teacher has thrown them inside the ring to knock...no..no..no... help each other out. Here I would like to point out especially the conversation between these two is on the other level.
Chemistry. Now the special thing about the relationship between characters is their chemistry, do they react do a explosion or they just stay water. The chemistry between Hikigaya-kun, Yukino-chan and Yui-chan(who is the second cute girl) do quite a reaction.
Now the weird thing, this point that I'm going to give I'm not sure is good or not so you better decide it for yourself. This youthful romantic comedy is fucking complex love story, I think its good, in my opinion it takes a dive into the depths of the characters to present them true to a human nature which is one of the unexplained mystery of the universe.

Summary: Loner MC with a theory of staying away from people to stay away from problems, forced to join a club to help people, meets a girl who becomes his rival and potential love interest. Awesome monologues and dialogues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)(Probability of)Whom'll the anime appeal to?
As I have pointed out the show has its main dealings in its specialties in dialogues so people who don't like to listen to stuff you should probably skip it...nah I'm just joking around, in my opinion for this type of show you need a particular state of mind and anybody would love this show.
3)Questions that other reviews raised in your head.
*Exaggeration of one's characters- Yeah maybe ..but who wouldn't in a romcom.
*Why are there not many question for this one-Go try it for yourself. :)
