Well, before I jumped into the new season of Yahari Ore [...] I decided to re-fresh myself on the prior season and at the end of it all, I still found myself feeling an ability to relate to the feelings of the MC and to enjoy the small amounts of drama that occurred. It's a good watch, no doubt.

This sequel, however, took characters I didn't even realize, myself, that I related to so deeply and really fleshed them out. Enough to the point where I really felt myself understanding the MC's motivations and feelings because I have also, to some extent, felt the same- especially in the brutal environment that can be high-school social life.

I feel this really makes the series honest. The ending bit is especially great because it alters the way you feel towards one of the heroines (if that title suffices,) and opens up a new way of understanding the motivations of the characters and actually connects with the first season.

I had tears at some points, not going to lie about that, but this presentation was great, and even though there may be some who want a more concrete ending with a finality I say this; instead of looking for closure, why not reflect on the emotions and motivations of the characters and enjoy the growth and admittance, the shame and denial, and the overall feeling that resounds too true with basic human wants and fears.

An awesome, awesome, sequel. Not a masterpiece, but damn, I was gratefully surprised with how the show evolved. Probably one of the more, if not most, honest high-school setting series' I have ever enjoyed.
