I traversed into the show thinking it to be yet another High School Club comedy but Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy WA Machigatteiru or My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU transverses into one lovable show. The quotes Hikigaya Hachiman spouts are very thought producing and may
perhaps show you the wrongs of society.
Story: 9/10
Yahari Ore follows Pessimistic Hikigaya Hachiman where he lives out High School hating the evils of society and thus he lives as a lone. A social club is formed when his teacher forces him and a stone cold beauty and they help those with problems or respond to request. Solving these problems is done well, the Main Characters are not birds of a feather and all have differing solutions. The comedy is mostly taken from sarcasm but Yahari Ore does have hilarious situations. The Romance is handled quite well but in the long haul it really goes nowhere.
Characters 10/10
Yahari Ore’s characters are a strong point producing characters that you’ll probably remember quite well.
Hikigaya Hachiman is a friend-less, pessimistic teen. He has had quite the miserable experience with girls in middle school and when he recalls it he goes and secludes himself even more. He often spouts about the evils within social groups. He does progress and makes friends with those in his social “club”. This character is very relatable if you've been a loner or still are.
Yukino Yukinoshita is the school’s “Ice Cold Beauty” and is incredibly smart. She doesn't have any friends at first. Unlike Hikigaya, she does strive to help the less fortunate.
Yui Yuigihama is a cute, cheery girl with an outgoing look on life. Yui was the first customer and the first new member to join the Social Club. Yui is somewhat popular and is very protective of her friends. She has had a huge crush on Hikigaya for quite some time and plans on confessing to him one day.
Sound 10/10
The voice acting is fantastic, capturing the hate on Hikigaya’s voice but also capturing the thoughtfulness of Yui. The sound score is swell and never that awful to listen to.
Art 9/10
The character designs are done exceedingly well and oddly match the personalities of the characters. The backgrounds are also done amazingly well. The animation is quite smooth save for some instances
Overall it is quite an amazing show with loveable characters and swell portions of comedy. Although don’t solely watch it expecting romance, but the Experience Yahari Ore offers makes up for it.
