| The part where Hikigaya mentioned his name to shame Yukimom to submission was astounding. Certainly a 1000 IQ moment. Though I really dislike how Yukinoshita is so fragile and weak now. So soft-spoken and meek. I miss here usual fire and her guarded self. She's gotten a bit boring but I guess it's an effect of being a central plot point that people revolve around. In contrast to Yuigahama's determination to uphold her wishes, even though she knows that it's wrong, it is clear as to why she's stealing the show. |

Horn_dawg_2019 said: The overrated drama continues, and it looks like Hayato got himself a MILF in Yukinon's big sister. Yeah, for real lol. |
| :nice: |
| HOO MAN, Hayato and Hachiman's conversation felt like an exercise in frustration (just as is with prior seasons). And the fake prom gets its first setting on the beach with Yumiko's fanservice (WOW!). But Ebina's genuine intuition towards Hachiman hasn't faltered from Season 2, from making him to be a complete fool to someone appreciative of a different degree. To ask Yukinon's sister Haruno for help, that seems like the codependency topic coming up once again for a dead end. But regardless, Yui and Hachiman wants a proper end to all this farce, with the codependency to Yui's loss. Word definitely spread to Yukinon's mother in the usual sub-par standard, but while Hachiman going for gold may be a realistic dream, it's their only hope of changing things around of convincing the prom to go forward. Yui's clarification with Haruno about the whole codependency sham is just what it seems on the surface, but I'd feel that this will come up to haunt them another time soon. The competition between Yukinon and Hachiman comes to a close, but not quite the decision-making that still is floating that has no end onto itself. Yukinon's thoughts and shedding tears, and the ultimate prize: to grant Yui's (instead of her own). Weird flex but OK, can definitely see this relationship falter between both girls in the friendship sense. This isn't gonna turn out well, I can feel the greed and tear in my bones to watch the final quarter. |

ShiroHachi said: cythraul said: That sounds awfully similar to what white album 2 did and it would suck big time if this series went the same way. Well lets just hope that it isn't similar to the one what NakolHira is saying. I hope yui at least makes a mature wish considering yukino is giving her a chance. Yui seriously needs a reality check. She knew she couldn't possibly make Hachiman love her, he is always crazy about Yukino. But Yui delayed all of this because she knew that Hachiman and Yukino liked each other, while Hachiman and Yukino didn't know their feelings for each other. She knows the solution for this problem, she is the most emotionally mature. But she used this moment to live in a lie til finally Hachiman or Yukino acted or Yui could no longer enjoy this lie. I know it's human, but that's not justification for her doing the wrong thing. It would hurt Yukino and Hachiman if Yui is still silent I'd argue that the person being hurt the most by all of this is Yui. You are correct about everything except for Yui remaining silent. Could she just come out and tell them each others feelings? Yes. However, that wouldn't solve the problem of the relationship between them, and I could easily see doing something like that causing more harm than good given their stubbornness. The writer and Yui both like to depict her has the most selfish of the group, but it ignores the complexity of the character and actions. Just like how Yukino is a weak person, but also in a sense a strong person, Yui is both a selfish person, but also fundamentally a good person. If Yui was truly selfish, then she wouldn't have invited Hachiman to the date at the end of season 2, leading him to reject her proposal to solve everything. She easily could have just cornered Yukino, who was in a state that would have allowed her to accept her proposal without protest, and ended up in the relationship she "wanted." Yet, by inviting Hachiman, she makes a situation that ensures her desire is rejected. While Yui is silent in the form of direct language, she does, I think, try to get the other two to act. Both during the end of the second season, and the end of the previous episode, Yui tries to get Yukino to act through the threat. Yui can't possibly win, given the nature of the way they approached the prom situation, but she threatens Yukino that her wish is the one to be granted. By doing so, she is trying to get her to act. However, as we saw last episode and at the end of this one, that didn't work because of Yukino's selflessness and inability to accept her own feelings, as well as Hachiman's indecision and obtuse understanding of his own feelings. It is hard for Yui because what she wants is a lie. She knows it's a lie and one that cannot possibly come true, but she still yearns for it. It doesn't help that her best friend is trying to grant this lie, while Hachiman still has yet to make his decision to the extent in which it comes to the surface for all to see. While their current relationship may be ending, Yui is the one that completely loses something, as her feelings for Hachiman are doomed to remain unrequited. I am at the point where I don't even care who ends up with who. All I want is, when all is said and done, for those three to still be friends, just with a more honest relationship, allowing for more growth. |
Sisyphusson66 said: Just like how Yukino is a weak person, but also in a sense a strong person, Yui is both a selfish person, but also fundamentally a good person. This. People fundamentally dismiss Yui as a bad person because she says she's selfish and that she wants it all but in reality, she isn't that much of a bad person. It's like a person saying, "I'm a bad person." but does that mean they are truly bad because they admit themselves? It's more likely that the person is a good person because they are aware that they themselves are bad. Truly bad people do not even notice that they are bad. She is a complex character and there is nothing wrong about people rooting for her or people appreciating her character. |

| Damn this episode was beautiful, probably my favorite so far in this season. This marks the end of Vol 13 in the LN and oh boy was it a cliffhanger. Can't wait on how they gonna adapt the last volume. I have very high hopes for the remaining 4 episodes. I hope they can give justice to it considering how this season is playing out. Didn't expect to shed a tear or two because of the scene with Yukino. I love the atmosphere in the room and how Hachiman really sees Yukino as someone sparkling in his eyes. I just love Yukino so much. Please give her more screentime! Don't skip her monologues damnnit. Damnnn I don't want it to end yet :( I think that an Extra/OVA was announced to be included in the future Blueray release. Can't wait for those to release after the anime finally ends. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| No don't let things end like that ☹️ |
| Now that the Prom problem is over, it is something to be said that Yukino had chosen that 8man should fulfill Yuigahama's "wish". We are already near at the end and hopefully we can see a more hopeful resolution to our characters, since this is the moment for drama to come. |
 |
| what an episode, so much went on that i'm still trying to process good god. Series is really creeping to the end and they are making sure we understand whats about to come. Hachiman's talk with Yukino's mom had me on edge, she saw right through his plans, it did feel like 2 higher ascended minds juking it out, i was super nervous for Hachiman, honestly if someone saw through my plan just like that i would be to scared to do anything, but the delivery of his trump card was brilliant, that monologue he did was pristine, describing himself as a "useless" chess piece like a pawn, but under right circumstances, even a pawn can take something as strong as a queen down, and he did just that. What a way to turn the tides. Cannot stress this enough when i say, that Hachiman and Yukino scene was next level brilliance i swear, atmosphere change really hit well, the scenery although only being a class room felt very dramatic with the colours. Then there little argument over who finally won there competition, felt like it carried a new heavy meaning then when they first started in season 1, Yukino voicing her feelings was heartwarming and with her winning, her wish for Hachiman had me so on edge. Also might just be me, but it feels like foreverrr since we last saw Hachiman and Yukino just together talking 1 to 1 in that classroom. I still feel extremely mixed about the request she gave Hachiman after she won, what she could of said, could of gone many many different ways, and could of changed a kit of things, all i can say is i respect her wish. But what i can also say is, i am extremely scared about whats going to happen to all 3 of there friendships, if the only option right now is for it to all end, i think i might cry and have a panic attack. |
 "yabe." |
| Hachiman just showed us the proper way of doing the name drop lol |
 |
| One word: PAIN Great episode once again but, the pain... The pain is too much. The show is already good even if it is missing lots of content from the novels. Imagine if they adapted the novels fully this show would be even more better. But, I guess we just gotta read the novels. |
 |
| Hachiman, as always, does things in his unconventional ways and manages to succeed nontheless. That also marks the end of the prom arc, I suppose. I'm really inclined to see how Hachiman will grant Yui's wish. imperator-sky said: God it keep getting worst and worst, I start to cringe so hard during their futile drama conversations... Am I the only one missing s1 ? What do you mean by "futile" exactly? |
| Wow the feels at the end were really something.. If I didn't know this was ep 8 I would have thought this was some sort of end to the show. The atmosphere with that scene between Hachiman and Yukina at the end was really hitting the feel spot and right after that the ED song made me speechless. Then seeing Hikki with Yui and her mom made me happy again, man what a roller-coaster of feelings. With this episode's end, I'm not quite sure what to expect for the next episode.. I kinda hope Hikki will grand Yui's wish but saying goodbye to Yukino hurts. |
 |
| This was a great episode, a lot of tension and important conversations that connect some parts of the previous seasons. Hachiman remembering the car accident in his own benefit to force Yukimom to to convince the other parents to perform the prom, that was certainly a card that only he can play. A pawn can put a queen in check. I loved that version of Megumi no Ame and the last moments of Hachiman and Yukino. I have enjoyed the drama of these characters throughout this season, It is the result of the love that I have for them. Of course, this is nothing compare to the LN, but it's still enjoyable. |
| People need to understand this is still the season that has been skipping the less, there are no miracles when you are only given 12 eps to work with. Even if stuff you personally don’t care for gets more focus over things you personally find more important (or simply want to see), that just means the stuff other people found more important was then skipped, cause time is limited. Oregairu fans that read the novels and follow it since the very beginning should know, S1/2 skipped way more. ————- The reassuring part is how Watari himself decided together with the scriptwriters, what to put in, and what to skip. He was very involved with the anime production. So this is his vision for the anime adaptation. |

| Hikki played Yukimama like a chess piece. And next we're getting Gahamama. Is this season the rise of the mamas? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
ShiroHachi said: bruh, they adapted almost all of Yui's interludes, but when Yukino's interlude appeared. They only adapt 1 sentence lol. Here are some important things that were skipped in this episode. 1. Hachiman who felt that his philosophy was similar to Ebina and Hayama 2. Hachiman is annoyed/jealous in his monologue when he hears about Hayama's regretful past. 3. Hayama thinks Hachiman lied about "A man's pride" in his monologue 4. Hayama'monologue about Hachiman and Yukino relationship : 5. Yukino's monologue thanks for this. cythraul said: cchigu said: So they have less material to adapt this time, that's good. I was worried they were dragging this out and then rushing out every remaining thing.I mean, the student council election (Zoku) was also almost the same length (~3 LN volumes), but the difference was that they had more material left to adapt for Zoku and hence Zoku ended up adapting 5 volumes. Whereas, this season, Kan, only has 3 volumes left to adapt. Maybe that is why it feels dragged out, to you. So this is really the last season? Has LN finished yet or what? |
| I've forgotten how amusing Ebina can be when Hachiman and the others were by the beach, getting the pictures for their prom plan. I do hope this isn't the only time that we'll see her... =( That aside, it seems like the prom will be going ahead. Honestly, I'm happy that Hachiman's plans wasn't in vain and the way that he played his nuclear trump card at Yukino's mother was excellent, as Hachiman himself knows how good he can be when he resorts to tactics like this. Despite that, it doesn't feel like a victory that everyone can super happy about, but more of a sigh of relief that they got their plan to work, considering the opponents that they had this time. Not just that, I'm glad that Yui was more vocal and was more willing to voice her opinion when Haruno, unsurprisingly, talked down on her and Hachiman about the whole "codependency" once again. In this case, for me at least, Hachiman's plan worked out in terms of the prom as well as making their case and defending their plan more willingly against Haruno's pessimistic opinion. The last scene with Yukino and Hachiman as they talked together in the clubroom after their battle was bittersweet. Yukino wants Hachiman to grant Yui's wish, which for me, just clarifies that whatever choice that any of them wants for their ending, someone, or all of them, will get hurt in the process. It'll be a valuable lesson that life can be just as cruel as it can be generous and happy. Overall, I really liked this episode and how well it can make me feel all of these emotions so effectively. On a personal note, I'm glad that I'm an anime-only, as this discussion thread is littered with too many LN readers complaining about the parts that got cut out. It's a cliche that's very old and my response to it is just as cliched, too, but adaptations like this is going to trim parts out regardless, as getting it to work as an anime means that going for a 1:1 adaptation would be pretty unwise and would really screw over the pacing. Don't let your love and passion of the LN version get the better of your judgement, as I feel like a few users here have already gone down that dead-end road already. ^_^; |

Why? They know which parts to cut so that viewers and readers have a similar experience. Meanwhile, oregairu s3 at this point provides a different experience between anime only and LN readers. From my perspective, that's down to the different scriptwriters involved at the respective studios and down to the genre type that Re Zero and OreGairu is. I know I should read both LN's of each series at some point, but from what I can see, Oregairu would be far more heavy on the dialogue between the larger cast of characters compared to Re Zero, which is far more focused on action, which is easier to adapt. And don't get me started on the original Monogatari novels, though. I love both the novels and the anime adaptations, but the experience you get from both is different, and for good reason, too. |
| I hate to say it but this will likely have either an original ending or an inconclusive one as for a complet adaptation for volume 14 in just 4 episodes is not logically going to happen without cutting a lot of things and making it rush Too bad if they screw things up in this beautiful series at the last moment .. |
For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.” (Holy Quran 17:23-24). |
