This is the story of a very introverted, unenthusiastic and somewhat idealistic youth by the name of Hikigaya Hachiman andhis everyday life, who was forced to join the Volunteering club by his teacher. Afterwards, what goes on is basically a slice of life anime, where Hikigaya and his clubmates have to go and assist the people who need help with their requests. Some of these requests had some drama in them as well, but seeing Hikigaya constantly solve all their issues with his own, twisted logic was always a fun and enjoyable thing to see.
-Art 7/10
The art is standard, nothing special but not bad either, as expected from a slice of life type of anime.
-Sound 9/10
For sound, the OST in the anime is generally well suited to whichever scene it resides in, being able to bring up feelings of tension, joy, etc whenever required. Along with the background music for them during their "normal times" being very cheerful and enjoyable.
-Characters 10/10
For this section, i will only cover the 3 main characters in this anime.
+Hikigaya Hachiman
Pretty much one of the best and most complex characters I have ever seen. He is basically a lone-wolf type of character, who has so little presence and doesn't do much in his own class to the extent that his classmates don't even remember his name. For people who were/are introverts or tend to prefer to be alone, there is a very high chance that some may be able to see themselves reflected in Hikigaya. However, even though he seems bland, he has some of the most insightful thoughts on society's views and such. With him constantly disassembling sayings and quotes from historical people, making him a very thought provoking character. In addition, his extremely unorthodox methods in solving issues and dealing with people were some of the greatest highlights of the show as well, with his constant attitude of not caring about his own situation and being what seems to be tactless, but actually makes him shine even more.
+Yukinoshita Yukino
She is a multi-talented and beautiful girl who has been dubbed "Ice Cold Beauty" in her school, a name which is very fitting for her. However, the main reason why she is alone most of the time is due to her sharp tongue, hence the Ice part in her nickname. Due to her extremely sharp tongue, her and Hikigaya's bickering in the anime are quite entertaining, with her coming up with some of the best insults of all time. She is also very capable and has the "Ojousama"-ish aura around her. She is also presented as a very strong character, who has the ability to take a lot of hits (Figuratively). She is also much more thoughtful than she seems, as she also looks over the other two.
+Yuigahama Yui
In short, Yuigahama is the slightly more dull and stereotypical characters amongst the 3 main characters. In essence, she is a very joyous character who is always happy and cheerful. However, she plays a very important role amongst them as she is the only one in the group who is actually enthusiastic about doing her activities, along with her being able to cheer the other two up as well.
-Enjoyment 10/10
For me, this series had very witty dialogue, with some of the most interesting insults that i have heard especially from Hikigaya and Yukinoshita's interactions. Along with the constant amount of Hikigaya's views mixed in and him applying his views to solve problems, it was a very fun ride.
-Overall 10/10
This is a very entertaining anime, full of thought provoking themes, captivating dialogue and some of the best characters crafted. Along with the main character being more or less an outcast due to his nature, people who have went through the same position as him would find that this guy is one of the most relatable characters which one can sympathize with out there. If you're tired of watching too much moe, action and etc, you should try this. Even if you're not, you should definitely watch this anime.
