I don't think I can take much more of that girl from Hachiman's Junior High.... Every time she opens her mouth, I feel a strong urge to click the mute button. I can't stand people like that.

I couldn't understand the meeting at all... 8man's monologue was funny.
The atmosphere in the club is really awkward, I guess Yukino has no energy for what she thinks is a meaningless friendship?? Maybe?? Idk.
He has a weird chemistry with Isshiki, it works somehow.

8man maximum snark this episode XD

Oh god those hand gestures and the other student council spouting gibberish, this episode was the best so far. Seriously I laughed so damn hard. I agree Iroha is stealing the spot light and I seriously wish 8man would just tell Orimoto to stfu, cause every time she opens her mouth all she does is talk shit about him.

I feel like this anime season is literally going to be Hachiman trying to fix what he broke by giving the club and their friendships some meaning however it's just going to end up not working and the ending will be all of them drifting apart.

Sigh... that's a very shallow way of looking at relationships. What if there is an unavoidable person that you don't like, a colleague perhaps? Would you ignore them? Remember back in season 1 when Shizuka told them that they had to learn how to put up with people from other groups (episode 7)? You don't have to be friends, but you have to learn how to keep a cordial relationship with them.


And this is a very shallow reasoning. Basically this is like telling me to "just put up with them". such relationships can't be any more superficial, and 8man/Yukino got this perfectly right. There will always be people you won't have a good chemistry with, and its completely your choice if you'll try to find that needle in the haystack or simply decide that finding it is a waste of your time and spend it in something more productive/make you richer.

personally I chose the latter. most otaku are after all.

The student council meetings reminded me of this kid from high school who was just so great at bs - ing things... no one would understand what he was saying, but he won everyone over. Hysterical. Can't help but wonder if they even know what they're doing (the other school) and if they are going to just take advantage of Iroha not knowing what the hell she's doing.

And yeah, Orimoto is awful. Those are the type of people I really dislike. What is you're freaking purpose in bashing Hachiman .

I think this anime is suffering from the "Haruhi Effect".....except Haruhi was actually entertaining and things actually happened in that anime in a much more frequent basis.


Bit off topic, but what I call the "Haruhi effect" is when people ask what's the correct order in watching every anime.

I'm not sure if it's a real thing or not, but...

For me the "Haruhi effect" is when an anime is highly praised because of something niche within the anime and not because of the hard substance.

All this anime is, is very angsty teens living out their daily lives.

And YES, I understand MOST school comedies/SOLs/romance anime are also about angsty teens....but goddamn, where is the entertainment?

This is a generic romance drama but Hachiman makes it different. Usually the MC is a nice guy that all the females want for absolutely no reason besides being nice. Hachiman as a character wants to live outside of societal and high school norms.He could probably start a cult with his philosophy on life.

There are some relationships that can't be fixed, for example, Hachiman and orimoto. After her behavior would you really keep on talking to her? I would ignore everything she says, because that is a relationship that is obviously not wanted.

And this is why you don't have real friends.
Why even bother with other humans if you abandon them the second you have a fight.


I wouldn't count Orimoto as a friend. Would you hang out with someone that spread rumors about you and bashes you every chance they got? Who would want to hang out with a horrible person like that?

Tamanawa is a perfect example of a politician. Such hypocrisy. Such hand movements. Although, I love how Hachiman tried to negotiate with him.

Orimoto is back and still a bit annoying. Then she just freakin' laughs at Hachiman's club!
"Seriously, it's no laughing matter." Lady, you have no idea.

personally I chose the latter. most otaku are after all.


And Hachiman, Yukino, and Yui chose the former. They believe that they have indeed found the needle in the heystack, so they are prepared to make sacrifices for it. Hachiman and Yukino might not realize it, but they value their club so much that they willingly set aside their ideals and convictions (temporarily?) just to preserve it.

This can be seen from Hachiman's attempts to observe Hayama's clique -- he wanted to learn how Hayama and co are able to sustain such 'shallow' relationships, hoping to be able to apply it to his own little group. Moreover, Yukino is obviously putting up fronts. Despite no noticeable changes in her monotonous voice, and despite managing to fake a smile, we could clearly see her pained expression all throughout her screen time this episode. She is bottling it up, but she's probably at her limit. Props to Studio Feel, they nailed it. Yui, on the other hand, is completely aware of how much she treasures the club, and is unafraid to make drastic moves to preserve it, as seen from her willingness to run for SC President. She does not share Hachiman's and Yukino's need to shun the so-called 'superficiality'. (She is a part of Hayama's clique after all.)

Our main trio are thus portrayed to be not so noble so as to stick to petty ideals when faced with problems that hit really close to home. They are not above the influence of their emotions and so they are prone to succumb to its power in the face of adversity. From where I stand, I think that their reactions are just human, all too human.

Bleh. All this discussion may come across as

And there's the problem. you're really trying to push me "to put up" with someone as bitchy as orimoto. Well, I'm not saying orimoto can't be righted. She --can-- be righted, but that will take Samaritan amounts of effort and drama. On the other hand, if no one would tell her she's wrong she'll stay a bitch.

How is that going to benefit society? Who is reasoning shallowly now? You need to know how to deal with all kinds of people in order to create a working relationship with them. As long as you have non-superficial relationships in your life, having superficial ones is not a problem, but a solution. Otherwise, good luck just staying at home doing nothing useful with your life.

The entertainment is already right there, and part of it consists of using your brain. That's the kind of anime Oregairu is. It won't shove all answers right into your face. Think deeply about the stuff you don't fully understand. You're missing more than half of what's going on, and more than half of the entertainment with it.
What you're doing right now is like watching a series with no subtitles and no sound.

If you don't like using your head when watching anime, then I guess this one's not for you.

Well anyway, i'm quite pleasantly suprised on the direction hachiman is going. So much development in this ep for him. Series is really starting to get going now.

Well, he push the candidacy of sc prez to Iroha who does not want it at the beginning of the previous arc. He felt a little responsible for doing that to her, especially the tricking part.
And for derailing the candidacy of both Yukino and Yui, he felt guilty about it but mainly to Yukino.
Including them on the task of helping the current SC after what he did to Yukinon & Yui seems a bit cruel.

What really hit me hard in this episode is the fact that the Service Club is on the verge of breaking down. The heavy atmosphere (even heavier than eps 4), Yukino gradually losing motivation, and Hachiman accepting request silently behind their back. it was so . . . touching to see how the characters' poor communication and reluctance can be very devastating to look at. At this point, not even Yui's cheerful words can do anything. The damage's done and i'm actually looking forward to see how they will be able to repair this.

In the end Hachiman has become one of the boys Iroha is "juggling" on her own whims.

How is he different from for example, Tobe now?

I'd say 8man is different because he, somewhat, understands how Iroha thinks and feels. Although from a standpoint it looks like she is taking advantage of him, she is just looking for support from the one who put her in that situation. Besides Iroho is herself around 8man.

Oh my, this was brilliant on so many levels!

Those gestures totally got me :D Yet at the same time and with that corporate-speak they managed to emphasize how awkward whole situation was. And Hikki's taking over the initiative was great.

I wonder how Iroha feels though. It may not seem obvious but she isn't very confident herself, not to mention she is simple exhausted by sheer amount of workload and the pressure other council members are giving her because of her unability to enforce their school's demands by sheer assertivity. It's pretty tough position she's in and I think Hachiman is the only reason why she haven't given up yet. I liked their mutual moments and his gesture with shopping bag - that just explained their relationship more than thousand words. I wonder how he saves the day for her this time and I'm very curious what their further relationship will be.

Those conversations with his former classmate are also great. It seems Kaori got some interest in Hikki as he surprised her by his action, even though it's more like fake interest in people who are capable of great things in the end (that's also a reason why she went to the meeting with members of her school as she clearly didn't understand what was this all about too). She is precisely that type of woman who is interested only when she sees that you have special relation with someone (as she thought Hikki had girlfriend).

Stiffy atmosphere in the club was also one of great high-points of this episode. It's very clear that the club doesn't work anymore and the people there have very hard time dealing with each other. It kinda remind me of real life as those situations are very hard to solve (if not impossible). Disbandment of it can be very real option as both Yui and Yukino can't even communicate with Hikki now as we saw with his awkward non-conversation with Yui early in this episode.

And again we were also decently hinted that Miura loves Hayato and that Yui loves Hikki. Too bad their love is unrequited.

All in all - I want more episodes like this!
