| So Yui has realised Yukino's feelings for Hachiman, but it feels kind of forced for her to seemingly give up so easily, if I'm understanding her thought process correctly. There's little to suggest that either Yukino or Yui is closer than the other to Hachiman, besides the fact that Yukino appeared first. Seriously, is there a bunch more romantic stuff between Hachiman and Yukino that's been left on the cutting room floor? Because that one photo does not seem like plausible evidence for the conclusion Yui has apparently jumped to. That aside, I'm curious as to why Iroha is so insistent that the prom be held this school year. Obviously, her reason is a bald-faced lie, but what is she actually playing at? Is she still going for Hayama, or has she got another angle? |
| Yuikino having a Photo of Hikigaya.......hmmmm I'm still with Yui!! |
My Candies:           |
| Amazing episode :) Team Yukino but that monologue made me feel bad for Yui ;-; |
 |
| The talk between Haruno and Hachiman as they walked to the convenience store was really good. Despite her circumstances, I came to dislike Haruno a bit from the previous season and her aggressive interference with our main trio, but she was a lot more mellow in this episode. Because of that mellowness, this episode helped me restore my liking for Haruno as she really wants to help Yukino to challenge her over-controlling mother and be able to choose a future that she wants and not one that's already decided for her. I really hope Yukino can succeed with this. =) Plus, I do enjoy the way Haruno kept teasing Hachiman here as well. It was cute. ^_^ Iroha also made her first appearance in this third season and she's still as amusing as ever. Her plan for setting up a school prom is ambitious, but it's obvious that she, Yukino and the others will get this plan up and rolling for the next episode, judging by the preview clips. However, the end of the episode had me feeling a lot of pain for my favourite character, Yui. Listening to her monologue as she found the picture of Yukino and Hachiman together from the previous season felt like a sucker punch to the gut for Hachiman X Yui shippers like me. The poor girl really deserves some happiness, but I think this might set up for some serious drama over the next few episodes. Since I'm an anime-only, my prediction could very well be completely off the mark here, but that's the feeling I've got right now. =( |
ycleped said: Ryuseishun said: Now that you mention it, I can now understand more as to why there's people who preferred Brain's Base style of animation in s1. I mean, to each his own, and tbf, studio Feel isn't exactly something like A1, ufotable, or even KyoAni (which I know you really hate for most part, btw). For a studio not really known for clean-looking frames, I personally think they did at least a hella decent job, although not having some of the animation staff from last season kinda sucks. Brain's Base's style of animation? Don't make me laugh. Exactly what animation are you talking about? For the record, I decided to rewatch S1 and S2 right before starting S3 and I binged through them within 3 days. The animation in season 1 was basically non-existent. Sooooooo many panning still-shots. Remember at the beginning of S2 when Feel did that flashback of events from S1 - the stage performance as well as Hachiman and Hayato on the rooftop? Well, it was quite obvious that feel was flexing on Brain's Base with those scenes redone because they were actually properly animated. Go back and see for yourself. Brain's Base literally just had them standing on the stage, playing their instruments with very little movement and furthermore the audience was standing completely still, no animation whatsoever. This was a common theme in season 1: a distinct lack of animation. Hell, even compare it to Penguindrum from 2011 (another Brain's Base show) and see how much better-made that was. Feel, meanwhile, actually consistently animated background characters, crowds, and background elements. Season 2 had a lot less panning still shots and improved character animation. Although, towards the end of Season 2, it was pretty obvious that they started cutting corners as the still, panning shots became more prevalent. Season 3, however, has been absolutely amazing in terms of direction, animation quality (especially character animations - they look so smooth it's as if they've been rotoscoped!), art, and background elements. Even further, the sound direction is on point and feels so much more personal than either of the previous two seasons. The production of Season 3 is definitely better than the previous two seasons. Brain's Base did a pretty terrible job on Season 1 and I don't know why people can't see the clear step up in quality between S1 and S2, and now between S2 and S3. They did change the character designs a bit, more specifically the faces in S3, and a lot of people have noticed this. I think though that they're spending so much time improving the quality of the show as a whole that they're spending less time on the actual character art which is certainly a drawback; however, again, the overall quality of production is so much higher than the previous two seasons, and some wonky character art here and there can be easily fixed for the BDs. Animation is a lot more difficult to go back and fix for BDs. Bro, I’m just saying.....there’s people out there who liked the S1 animation better. Don’t shoot me, I’m just a messenger, ffs. |

| This episode is full-on conundrums of confrontations. Yukinon's older sister Haruno's whims against her true wishes of meeting their control freak of a mother, but with perception comes understanding, with Yui and Hachiman preparing to make way. Their seemingly mindless conversation still strikes me from Haruno's ruthless behaviour in Season 2, even for first impressions. But this time, things are different, and she's still the same from back then, only more willful. Well well, Iroha making her first entrance, still as boastful as ever. And preparing for the school prom, that is only the task of the Student Council, plus the Service Club (if the trio is willing to help, despite the difficulty). But of course, it comes down to choice (to which Yukinon has decided for, but taking it personally). The fruits of her labour, crystallizes as time goes. The highlight: the look of Yukinon's "private" photograph, along with Season 1's instrumental ED, really cemented Hachiman's future with Yukinon from Yui's perspective: that it's really "Hello Alone", once again. I cried like an idiot to support Yui as waifu, but Yukinon really has shown her true colours more and more, the relationship of the trio in tatters if the truth is exposed. WHAT AN EPISODE. And the drama just keeps unfolding. Ryuseishun said: @ycleped Case in point, yours truly.ycleped said: Brain's Base's style of animation? Don't make me laugh.

Animation is a lot more difficult to go back and fix for BDs. Bro, I’m just saying.....there’s people out there who liked the S1 animation better. Don’t shoot me, I’m just a messenger, ffs. I have mentioned to someone else before that I liked Season 1's animation more than Season 2, although the studio change is somewhat needed for better overall quality. Yes, I agree that Brain's Base's animation wasn't the best, but for the time it was of decent production values, and 3 years later the shift to Studio feel. saw the animation department change significantly for the better, albeit soft visuals that I can live with (including this currently airing final season). As for the character design, I don't like it when someone, especially the MC's character design is changed to look like someone so generic, and that's my case of Hachiman's Season 1 character design being very fondly remembering of. Of course he still looks the same muteness, but that design was something to get used to in Season 2 (which to my memories, I have already gotten used to). @Ryuseishun seems that this message is still an unpopular opinion it is. Whatever it is, we see it as both on either a satisfactory or unsatisfactory level, and that's A-OK. |

| @KANLen09 > I have mentioned to someone else before that I liked Season 1's animation more than Season 2 Again, what animation? Everything you mention following that statement has to do with the art rather than the animation. I fail to see how you could like Season 1's animation more than Season 2's considering Season 1 was very inconsistently animated, when it wasn't simply panning still shots. I could understand if you said you liked Season 1's *art style* more than Season 2. But animation? Feel's animation is better by a longshot. I realy don't understand your thinking. Could you elaborate as to why you liked Season 1's animation more than Season 2's? Also... Regarding Hachiman's character designs changing. He was described multiple times in the anime/LN as being pretty darn physically attractive and intelligent, just not having an attractive personality. While I agree Hachiman's character design in season 1 was somewhat fitting, there's a clear difference in tone between the material in both seasons. Season 1 was more comedic and light-hearted, and as such, Hachiman's "aloof-like" character design that was somewhat derpy was kinda fitting. However, it wasn't really that accurate in terms of his level of attractiveness, and because the material in season 2 was way more serious in tone, a character design change was needed to reflect that. Imagine Hachiman's derpy character design in the 'confession scene' with Ebina. It just wouldn't work - simply because the design wasn't mature enough in nature. I know you're claiming that his Season 2 design is more 'generic', but it more accurately portrays his character and is also closer in nature to his character design in the LN. While there's some debate in terms of art style changes regarding personal preference, I really don't think there's any way you can say the animation in season 1 was better than the animation in season 2. |
| This episode was good, they brought hints of yui being jelous of what hachiman and yukino have together from that picture. I still think that iroha will be a big part during this season, with relationships. 9/10 Episode, the anime is going in a great direction |

ShiroHachi said: Yui's monologue about that photo(LN volume 12), if you want to understand what Yui was thinking at that time, because I know the subtitles might ruin this scene: I should forget it. I should pretend that I never saw it. I can't pretend that this moment never happened, but I could at least forget. Surely, she would do the same. This photo was without any sort of decoration, but still meticulously placed within the depth of her treasures. She kept her feelings here without even thinking how she would put them into words, nor even conceiving how she would put them into actions. Perhaps it would be better for me to ask about it instead. I could ask her in a joking manner, like I was teasing her. Then, I could laugh and tell her that I'll be rooting for her, or something like that. Yet, if I were to really do that, then maybe everything would come to an end. If I asked and questioned her, she would certainly deny it and say that it's not like that, that such a thing is impossible, then end it as is there. She won't acknowledge it, will overlook it, ignore it, and neglect it. She'll pretend that none of it ever happened and forget about it, then lose all of it. That's why I definitely won't ask her. It is unfair to hear her feelings. It is unfair to say one's feelings. But, that's because it's scary to know his feelings. It would be most unfair to blame her. The truth is that I've known for a long time. That there was a place that I won't be able to enter. Even though I've stood in front of that door many times, I thought it best not to interrupt them, that I should only peek through and listen. The truth is that I've known for a long time. That I want to go there, too. That's all I've ever wanted. That's why, the truth is… Something genuine, I never wanted it. play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_emvD3tifBw while you read this monologue lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
 who is he referring to? |
 |
he is referring to yukinon, Harunos little sister |
|
Hayama knows the Yukinoshita family so I'm guessing Yukinon |
| 1. Best girl Ayaneru returns... 2. That Hello Alone insert at the end is just <3 |
| Was it always this boring? I guess, I just don't hold the same attachment to the anime and characters as before. Anyhow, nothing really interesting happened yet. |
  |
| This episode was just pain. Iroha deserves better. |
 |
| This was Iroha's episode, home girl was shinning here. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| I feel sorry for Yui but she fucked up big time. She already knew her feelings at the start of S1, at which time Hachiman hated the idea of the whole club and treated Yukino as an arch enemy.. If Yui properly made a clear move at that time she would have won easily. Hachiman is super easy when it comes to being seduced anyway, Iroha plays him like a puppy all the time. |
| another episode where nothing literally happened...aside from Iroha showing-up at least... 3/5. looks like best girl Totsuka is gonna show-up next epi! |

 |
| I know the characters have always spoken in riddles, but this season has me more confused than the previous ones did by far. |
 |
| A really great episode to say the least. I'm really excited for the next episode. Haruna actually listens to Yukino's problems and decides to help her solve them, and Iroha finally makes her first appearance in this season with her extremely cheerful, but loveable personality. I cried at the last part. Although I do cry very easily, you must agree to the fact that it was very emotional. I genuinely care about both Yukino and Yui. I don't want any of them to be hurt. That's why even though I knew it was coming, it still made me cry. |

| It seems my prediction that last week was just a warm welcome back to a more serious season was probably correct. I've got that feeling in my stomach like we just started rolling down the main hill of the roller coaster (I like that feeling for emotional roller coasters, but I despise the feeling on real roller coasters.) Yui's comment about not wanting things to be genuine really hit home. She's been sitting there on the sidelines watching the chips in the air, knowing exactly how they were going to fall in the end, just begging that they remain in the air a little longer to prolong the period of time in which she can deceive herself and keep dreaming. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| School days ending coming up =/ |
 |
| It's so heartbreaking to see when Yui founds out the photo of 8man and Yukino. I really ship Yukino and 8man, but there you go. It's much more serious now like there will be a whole bunch of stuff coming through the next episodes. |
 |
| 8man actually cockblocking Haruno. but yeah, that was an obvious test if I ever saw one. |
| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
| I'm PREEEEETY sure that in episode 1 they very much told us in our faces that YUIFAGS BTFO when 8man dumped Yui's baking in his drawer and simply... let it rot. |
| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
allenjke said: School days ending coming up =/ That's exactly what I'm hoping for, if that actually happens I'm giving this a 10/10 ez |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Damn, this show really hits different. I love it. |
 |
| 3/5 for this episode. I guess I'll stay with 7/10 for now. And since I dropped other stuff ... giving this some more episodes. (Might as well watch it completely.) But the big time gap between the release of the previous season and this season ... I just can't get into it anymore. (Must also have been because there have been soo many other real great romance anime since back then season 2. If you are used to better stuff ... this one feels bland a bit. I just don't want the "SoL in school and at the end some chars get into a romantic relationship" anymore. With many better dedicated romances I have watched in the last years.) |
| Haruno finally gets some more screen time! Rip Hiki he's becoming a supporting character now xD |
 |
| It's obvious that Yui wants to be there for Yukino in every way but with them both having feelings for Hikki things just keep getting messy. My heart just breaks for all of them because it's quite inevitable that someone is going to be left hurt and sad and none of them deserve it. I'm so frickin' happy that Totsuka will finally be back next week! I've missed him so much! |
 |
The last minute...  |
 |
| Unfortunately the final scene is a confirmation of the obvious, I hoped it wasn't, but the chemistry between Yukino and Hachiman was palpable already from the first season, honestly I see hard that they remain friends, Yui herself says that she cannot open the door and can only observe from outside. I still don't understand how Iroha feels, she seems to hang in the balance between Hayama and Hachiman, the prom at the end of the year, however, seems like a last-ditch attempt to impress Hayama. |
LevaisJul 18, 2020 2:49 PM
| I love the chemistry that Hachiman is having with the side characters; it really helps the show appeal to a broader audience and give more love to those on the sidelines But... |

 |
| Ouch, it seems that someone will suffer a lot from now on :C |
