| Yessss I've had been waiting for this since high school. Hirotsuka sensei also falling in love with Hachiman. In the end it was harem. Getting weaker but season 1 is still the best. Love to see the relation and how they make a Prom 2.0. Komatsu the chief of club also they are 5 join. Warmful ending love it. 9/10 |
| can't believe my ship actually worked here for a change here lol Episode 11 was really great fun and what follow was even better really enjoyed the little date they had and more importantly everyone now knowledge both Hachiman and Yukino as dating couples . this was really great ending tho most of the season felt like a filler but glad things picked up at the last 4 episodes or so . there's a new manga is about to start releasing as a sequel with the new semester dont know if it short or not just hope we get to see these two getting married by the end of it when it jumps a few years in the future in the last chapters if possible . just wishful thinking here but i won't hold my breath for that tho we might get an ova or a movie in the future regarding the new manga . |

| The jokey- way they handled Yuigahama at the end left a bitter taste in the mouth. She's supposed to be all happy while Hachiman and Yukinon glide happily into eventual married bliss? Gimme a break. I'd pay to see the sequel where it's 7 years later and Yuigahama has transformed into a Nana-style rocker chick hell bent on world domination, fueled by jealously. |
| What a garbage show waste of a time. The score is BS too, #88 my ass |
| That wasn't a "long journey" for me like it has been for many fans, but I really liked Oregairu(I'm more into battle shonen, fantasy or happy romcom, but I think this anime will go in my Top 10 for sure, and maybe in my Top 5 too). I had it in my list for so many time, and now that it came to end, I decided to finally start it. It took me some weeks and finally I've come to the end(not because I was bored, just because I've hed not so many time to watch it). Ok, briefly let's give a general opinion: Season 1 was fine but nothing excellent(drawing style was a little weird lol), Season 2 was very good and I really loved it, and Season 3 was my favourite. Now that it's ended I feel so sad and empty(It will pass soon lol), but it's not like I didn't like the ending. Even if I hoped Yui to win, I'm ok with the winner being Yukino(I expected). It's sad how Yui was handled and how she suffered, but that's life... at least the ending is good(maybe a little, but just a little bittersweet?) Now I'm looking forward to Shin novel, just to read some canonical sequel short stories! |
| Was just me who finish this with a feeling of "will be more, this is not the truly ending"? |
| Is it just me or do I not get it? I agree the show is well done and I've given it a high rating. However, the initial promise of Hachiman being such a gloomy guy was squandered as soon as he got to be in a 'service club' with 2 pretty girls WHO also did not have boyfriends. I know that if I were Hachiman and I was feet away from 2 pretty girls on a daily basis, that would make life a bit more enjoyable. So in the end this show basically sticks to the RomCom trope, because we the viewer wouldn't watch this for 3 seasons if Yukino and Yui were average looking girls. I remember watching the show initially and being drawn in by the title and Hachiman. I was thinking THIS was the show that would overturn all the tropes of anime romantic comedies. Alas, it never did and descending into the usual romantic melodrama but without any actual romance. So basically nobody is satisfied. |

| Bravo, genuinely bravo what an amazing ride of emotions, laughs and tears that i cannot physically comprehend without sounding like a fish out of water. Watching the anime felt like a dream i never wanted to end, but all good things come to an end i suppose. Season 1, although i wasn't there for the beginning of the anime, when i watched it, it most definitely hooked me into this new view of Hachiman's almost philosophical aspect of the world as a loner, and watching him being forced to interact with others and how someone like him functions, for me it was so interesting to watch. Then having to see him converse with Yukino and Yui was a joy to watch. I loved the comedy s1 had to offer, the dozens of references scattered around the anime gave it a nice warm feeling and is something i missed. Season 2 introduced me to this new romantic approach for the anime and a new perspective for Hachiman, in the form of almost, character development? Seeing genuine outcomes to Hachiman being around Yukino and Yui, and starting to develop feelings and emotions we kept hearing that he didn't really want in season 1. The approach to this was crisp in my opinion, and avoiding the fact that the anime kinda swerved here from being a rom-com, it makes for a bloody good romance one. This whole new view of change and seeing a different side to Hachiman that wasn't the loner that spat out philosophical quotes like he had a EX skill rank in it Season 3, i was invested in the romantic story i wanted more, this crazy lovish triangle that season 2 had me waiting on for...5 years. After 5 years it was announced the conclusion was coming, i cannot stress how happy i wa- then covid hit. Fuck. But needless to say, this season was the most out of the 3 (and dare i say) maybe even out of all the seasonal anime this year, to make make me cry this much, this hard, while also smiling with bliss and joy. Again, looking back at it mainly from Oregairu's beginning point, i did feel like it did kinda diverge from the romance comedy aspects, and invested more into the anime actually being a hardcore romance one, but am i going to complain? How can i when they did a fucking fantastic job at it. Seriously, the romance in this anime plucked every single string attached to my heart i swear. All in all, 10/10 anime cannot stress enough how bloody amazing this anime felt to watch through (an at this point i feel like the wait was just part of the experience) and i'm so happy the climax to this anime was so well done in my opinion and definitely has served the series justice. Honestly, if if would try to sum up my entire experience watching Oregairu, it would be somewhat along the lines of "did i just witness a masterpiece? Or a romcom gone wrong? |
 "yabe." |
Calm down, bruh. These things happen all the time like in the Rem debate Also I urge you to see the Anime Suzuka because the same thing happens there lol |
 |
| Don't give Yukino any screen time through the whole season and still dump Yui at the end... Weird formula, but okay. I'd prefer Hachiman to end up with Gahamama anyway. |

| Ultimately I don't think all of the prom drama added anything to the show. Quite the opposite considering it came out of left field and wasn't even the protagonists' idea in the first place. It basically just ended up a transparent plot device. As for the center relationship dynamic... well, that turned out the way it was always meant to; I don't understand the people who were complaining about a bait-n'-switch since it was made quite clear from the start of this season who the main couple would end up being (periodically reinforced with scenes involving prominent crying). All in all a solid enough conclusion that doesn't overstay its welcome. |
| Ok the last two episodes: the talk between Iroha, Komachi, Yui; last ep talk with Yui on that bench * ; talk with Yukino on the footbridge; when Yui enters the room while everyone are inside before second prom *; when Yukino says "love"; when Yui states the obvious in last part of last episode - everything that just killed me :D (the * also moved me the most) I accept my defeat, you can get one request from me :D I did not expect that it would happen in that way even though I knew that it will happen. I guess I have no chance for Yui route, but as Iroha said maybe future with Yui?:D I cannot believe they are willing to stay friends with this not only triangle, but harem already! :D Will there be more seasons? If yes and when it will happen I will change this season rank to 10 ;d [edit]: I've noticed that ED song is the OP song from first season... that means this is the end... no chance for 4th season ;( I'm soooo sad ;(((( |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Satisfying feel good ending for me personally. I'm glad for Yukino and boy Hachiman!! |
 |
| I'm finally done from this, I guess I'm not a big fan of this kinda show. 7/10 because I really enjoyed some moments. |
| Man I'm sad this show ends while they still have a whole final year of high school to go through. Yukino and Hachiman was predictable, and it sucks that the GOAT of a anime girl (Yui) who has been there for him 50% more gets disrespected and cast aside. Didn't like the ending, but loved the show overall, there was some amazing moments throughout and I felt like S2-S3 animation was a 10/10. |
| The conclusion was okay after a disappointing 3rd season. Considering the characters, Yukino and Hachiman seem like a fit. Not a great one, because they have similar weaknesses, being proud and stubborn and unable to express their feelings. But I can get that there's a sense of connection there. Apparently it's developed much better in the LN. From the romance viewpoint this was a terrible choice, as in the anime the romance aspect wasn't developed enough, and all of it was written for Yui. Yukino and Hachiman only talked about club-related activites, staying quiet in the club room, and never really getting to know each other. It was more like relationships at workplace with a bit of flirting at the Christmas party. Many other female characters got better moments with Hachiman. I thought this season was below average in quality. The prom arc was boring. Its result was predictable and there seemed to be very little at stake. Maybe it's a cultural difference, as there could have been some danger of losing face, which is a bigger thing in Japan. However, there was no doubt that the prom would be organized and it would be just fine. Another thing that bugged me was that since Hachiman learned some life lessons, he became a typical slice of life MC. All in all the second season was my favourite. I especially liked the friction between Hachiman and Hayato, exploring the difference between those who've had social success and those who've been rejected. It's a complex problem, revealing how people have difficulty understanding each other because of their different backgrounds. Hachiman's thinking may have been flawed, but his justifications were shown well especially against Hayato. I also agree with people who feel the ending was a cop-out. They wanted to put an end to the love triangle, yet somehow continued as before. "I like your boyfriend and I want to keep hanging out with you every day". It's hard to believe anyone would be happy with that, so it still didn't feel like a proper conclusion. |
| Yahallo! It was a good conclusion to the show in general, I thought they were going to forget about Yui plot but it wasn't so wasted even though they dedicated too many episodes to her character. Congratulations to Yukino for confessing her feelings to Hachiman! March 1, 2020 was the day I started this franchise. Like I said, its not your typical romcom and it has all the time to develop several characters. It delves deep into social interactions while avoiding the normal cliches one would expect from a series with this kind of title especially during the first season. The second season was more drama-oriented and a tone change. Finally, the third season was the conclusion of everything that the series proposed. Definitely, Oregairu is one of the best romcoms I’ve watched with Kaguya-sama. Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 8/10 Season 3: 7/10 Overall: 8/10. I'm very happy with this anime! :) JULES_WK said: And so... Hikigaya Hachoman found his Ice queen.... 7 years and 36 episodes, a reallly great journey comes to end today! Finally we have the final episode of OreGairu and at least for me, has been a happy one, with 8man getting the genuine thing.... with Yukino (Oh yeah!) Really good and mainly important franchise in Anime´s world. All we can say is: Thank you Hachiman, thanks for everything!!!! *13 (s1) + 13 (s2) + 12 (s3) = 38 episodes in total -40 episodes if we include the OVA from s1 and the OVA from s2. -39 episodes if we don't add the last episode from s1 since its anime original. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| It's pretty hard to determine the overall quality of whole anime since its seasons had different focuses. First one was more focused on comedy and was pretty original from the start in terms of typical romcoms because of gloomy and harsh MC, Yukino which is female equivalent of him but simply cuter and cooler when Yui is an average normal girl with a connecting link role in a such complicated triangle. I wish anime just stayed like that. Second season obviously became more serious and start asking uncomfortable question to its main characters. It ended with a cliffhanger like the next one season should be something big or even catastrophe since the story had creepy similarities with White Album 2. Third season is a big letdown in terms of story richness since it's obviously artificially prolonged, three OVAs would be enough but at least this season had more passion and half-baked ending. In the end of the day there are still many questions which will be unanswered for eternity. Why MC overreacted to a simple word as "codependency" (maybe it was translated from Japanese differently to other languages) and start to panic? It's just a word from a sneaky person and also having some people in your life is normal, MC himself didn't even dream about it so it's not a big deal even for him to become a little bit dependent especially when all three helped each other to grow as a person. Why the hell MC was tied to girls from his school club exclusively? There are much more options and also his relations with these two could be saved just by looking for a love interest somewhere else, I mean there is Kawasaki for example. MC is pretty weak in terms of resistance to feminine vibes even to boyish vibes at some special cases so it was really ridiculous to watch how Yukino and Yui deciding who MC is belong to without his personal interference. Where from Yukino got her independence obsession? I mean the whole drama in season 2 came from MC and his independent actions even though he just used to live like that but Yukino criticized him for that because since than he was in a club and should divide his work with others. But one season later Yukino just wanted an independence at any cost and criticize MC once again for his opposite point of view and desire to help. The whole anime kind of cried "Take your responsibilities, MC!", most of characters were like they wanted to add in the end of their speeches: "Hachiman, you are main character here, just do something!". It also looks pretty strange that Yukino with all her "I want to do that alone" and "I want to decide everything by myself!" in the same time just dropped her relation responsibility and gave it to Yui which did the same and gave it to MC. So I can't say that this anime is bad because it was mostly original and this is what you see pretty rare nowadays. But story walked around the bush and could fit in one 24 episodes season. Relations were interesting but not so deep as it could be, MC chose Yukino and it's the only possible option in terms of "exclusive triangle" (thanks to author that he didn't make from Yukino some career maniac which happily bury her emotions for a big promotion in a future). |

Yukino and Hachiman want the same thing, a relationship where they can lean on each other. What they fear more than anything is feeling they're inconveniencing the other person. And so Yukino was criticizing Hachiman for what she saw as a weakness in herself, she didn't want Hachiman to feel obligated to be there for her. At the same time, she recognized that Hachiman wasn't being independant, he was sacrificing himself. So you see that Hachiman is in 2 extremes here, both gave Yukino anxiety. So it was solved by Hachiman doing just enough for another person without bringing himself down and Yukino willing to accept the help of another person knowing that she can drop them whenever she's not feeling comfortable. Hachiman wasn't tied to other characters because this isn't a love story. Romance is secondary to Hachiman and Yukino finding a common ground. I think your problem is forgetting the first season and how it setup the other 2. Through 14 novels, Hachiman and Yukino make up almost the entirety of them. None of the other characters like Yui have major plot points other than supporting the plot of the mentioned 2 |

LemonMAL said: Yukino and Hachiman want the same thing, a relationship where they can lean on each other. It's not true though, the whole "lean on each other" aspect is pretty abstractive here, it works for weak-willed Yui only because she exchanged one dominant person for another - Miura for Yukino after their little quarrels which Miura lost, so Yui was under Yukino's authority and even copied Yukino's interest in Hachiman since it was the only one weak point of Yukino and Yui's chance for a win over dominant person. This is how typical rivalry starts. Hachiman on other hand was pretty apathetic towards Yui and Yukino, he was obviously ready to date with literally anyone even a guy. The whole "triangle" thing was based on a car incident and a volunteer club so it was kind of artificially. Yukino was aggressively passive and did nothing till closing of anime except for using victim card all the time so Yui won't dare to win and Hachiman won't dare to ignore her. LemonMAL said: What they fear more than anything is feeling they're inconveniencing the other person. Their strong desire to be wanted by someone was overwhelming so they acted like they didn't need it at all. Inconveniencing to the other person was the last thing they could bother about. They only bothered about their own inconvenience and psychological complexes. LemonMAL said: And so Yukino was criticizing Hachiman for what she saw as a weakness in herself, she didn't want Hachiman to feel obligated to be there for her. It's only one point of view but there is another - Yukino started a communication with Hachiman with insults because she is a weak person with a strong image and was fear of Hachiman since he sees right through people. It was just "best defense is offense". LemonMAL said: At the same time, she recognized that Hachiman wasn't being independent, he was sacrificing himself. I don't see anything of not independent in pseudo-sacrificing of himself since Hachiman lost nothing by saying crazy provocative things especially when there are people which know it's just an act so it's pretty safe move for him. It became a problem for Hachiman only because of Yui and Yukino were overdramatic about it. Also sacrifice is most independent thing which someone could do especially when there are people which are against it, it's about a strong will and kind of egoism. So you see there are no any extremes and Yukino just hated how Hachiman free-willed and unpredictable in comparison with her. LemonMAL said: Hachiman "solved" a problem by accepting Yukino's proposal, If Yui disappears he won't even bother. In the end of the day Hachiman just accepted the first proposal he got and Yui didn't even accept her lose.So it was solved by Hachiman doing just enough for another person without bringing himself down and Yukino willing to accept the help of another person knowing that she can drop them whenever she's not feeling comfortable. LemonMAL said: Hachiman wasn't tied to other characters because this isn't a love story. Romance is secondary to Hachiman and Yukino finding a common ground. Romance is secondary for literally everyone here, since Hachiman was ready to date with anyone, Yui just became a victim of typical female challenge and Yukino simply doesn't see a much difference between a friendship and love because she is psychologically undeveloped person. LemonMAL said: I think your problem is forgetting the first season and how it setup the other 2. Through 14 novels, Hachiman and Yukino make up almost the entirety of them. None of the other characters like Yui have major plot points other than supporting the plot of the mentioned 2 I think your problem is you are adapting to a story and superficially rationalizing everything what being said by emotionally undeveloped characters with romantic point of view, you perceiving their acts as their true intentions instead of analyzing what actually happening in their heads and between them, since it's anime forum I don't care about novels or manga, only anime is important here and I watched all three seasons one by one so clearly remember how inconsistent they are just like its characters. You saying that Yui isn't important but I say that relations between Hacniman and Yukino wouldn't be possible without a connecting link since Yui changed stances of Yukino and Hachiman, she provoked Yukino to use her victim card and provoked Hachiman to think about romantic perspectives. She made Yukino softer and Hachiman more emotional. Without Yui these two would end up with nothing because tough Yukino would be to good for Hachiman and apathetic Hachiman would be too awful for Yukino. |
