Oregairu isn't necessarily bad; it's a decent season. I mean, it could be worse, but not because of the protagonist or the plot, but rather due to the pointless and non- essential characters in the protagonist's development.

Hachiman, who has an interesting perception of others, is forced to change after his teacher, Hiratsuka, forces him to join the service club. This happens after a disastrous practice session, which she believes won't help him in the future.

To generalize, I don't want to explain every detail because, firstly, the secondary characters, aside from Yuig ahama and Yukinoshita, are empty, not bad, but empty. Zaimokuza is the only decent ... one because, although he provides comedic relief, it's coherent, which doesn 't appear in the second season. I find it sad because he was the only decent character among the rest.

The initial relationship between Hachiman and Yukinoshita fascinates me. It's incredible how they communicate and share certain things in common, like how they combat their own ideals regarding their loneliness and how they face it every day in the service club. I love their relationship.

Ironically, Yukin oshita from the first season took center stage in general. But that's okay; she's a good character this season. Yuigahama, a clingy character, has a sincere heart, which is demonstrated throughout the series. She's not a bad character; she's decent and genuinely expresses sincerity towards Hachiman and Yukinoshita, making her a coherent character. I like her.

As for the rest, they appear out of nowhere without any order. It feels a bit rushed, especially since there were already over seven characters after five episodes. I can understand this due to adapting six volumes in the first season. At least, I wish they had adapted more, because, honestly, these empty characters don't allow the protagonist to have his own time to think.

Hachiman, in this season , is a character with an excellent introduction regarding his thoughts on youth and society in general. He's a unique character, not average, with humanity, sincerity, pessimism, but also logic in his thoughts. I don't think he's bad, but it's bad that he judges himself too much. Each person has their way of seeing things, but if he harms himself, then it wouldn't make sense for him to continue like that.

That's why Hachiman is a great character; he has humanity, complexity, and depth. He's relatable, simply a good character, better than most average anime characters that exist so far, and I hope there are more like him, not necessarily like him, but better with better secondary characters and all that.

That's why, for me, Hachiman is a 9/10. But, as I repeat, he's the only decent one. If the entire season had focused on him, I believe Oregairu would be a thousand times better.

In some way, Hachiman and Yukinoshita saved this first season, which, thinking about it, is better than the third season. It's not that I hate Oregairu; it has one of the best protagonists I've seen, but unfortunately, the secondary characters ruin everything, making it feel empty..

Oregairu, Oregairu... You could have been so good; you had potential, enough material to make it happen, but you fell into clichés and generic plotlines.

After a great second season, we move on to the third season, which starts with the continuation of the final conversation from the second season. It begins well, and in some ways, it's better than the second season, but it fails in certain aspects. I have a strange, confusing feeling about this season. It's not that it's bad; it's deplorable in terms of secondary characters, but since it's the final season, it prevents me from criticizing it objectively.

Hachiman, our protagonist, has ... finally developed a better relationship with Yuigahama and Yukinoshita, although everything becomes more tense and serious. As it's a comedy, we already know that it's leading up to a final confession.

I'll speak generally again, as I don't want to repeat myself. Oregairu has improved since the first season, with an excellent subplot in the second season and character development. The third season compensates a bit more but also worsens in some aspects. The only thing that remains consistent is Hachiman's development, where we can see him become more expressive and confident with others.

The secondary characters, who were horrible in the previous seasons, feel the same here but with a hint of sadness, as it's their last year together with the protagonist. Hayama, who showed a bit more awareness of his actions and thoughts towards his friendship with Miura and others in the second season, becomes a decent character. It's good to see him improve, and it would have been better if they had given him more subplots instead of Iroha. Why do they give Iroha so much relevance? I don't hate Iroha, but it's annoying how they prioritize her over the protagonist. Orimoto, who barely appears, is still annoying and boring. They're not bad characters, but they appear out of nowhere, unnecessarily, making the plot feel like filler.

Hiratsuka has become a good character, I mean, a lovable, sincere character who teaches us a lot about friendship and genuineness. Her relationship with Hachiman feels real and good. Yukinoshita's family problems make her a more human character, feeling real and genuine, never feeling empty in this season. I'm glad it's been that way, as she's a good character. Her struggle to stop depending on Hachiman and Yuigahama, her depth, and complexity make her a better character than Hachiman in some development aspects... I love that they continued with the tension...

BUT, YUIGAHAMA, Hachiman was just too much for you. I mean, I don't really care who Hachiman ended up with; honestly, if Hachiman had stayed single, it would have been better. But, from the title and first episode, we already knew what to expect, so in some way, it feels cliché.

Yuigahama is an excellent character in this season, with more time to develop her relationship with Hachiman and others. She's become a sincere and genuine character, and her development is excellent. Unfortunately, they didn't give her more depth.

Useless secondary characters, but they no longer give me a headache; at least, they're there to help in some way. The stupid scenes of meaningless events continued and took up more screen time, as that's the only way the series could progress. However, they realized it was useless to drag it out, so they summarized it in frames that could serve as wallpaper to vomit at every day....

Confession and final decision: Hachiman and Yukinoshita are a couple, with one of the best love confessions I've seen. Hachiman chooses Yukinoshita, although I still don't understand why everyone wants to be with Hachiman; it's just too stupid. I suppose that's what the author intended, but the point is that these two are the best thing that's happened to Oregairu. They're the reason the series exists, and it's a good thing they're together finally. Although the last episode was the worst in the world due to its mediocre ending, at least we got some scenes of them together as a couple.

But all good things have their downsides, and in this case, Yuigahama, who couldn't fulfill her desire, at least still wants to be with them...
Although I may have contradicted myself in my reviews, I hate the third season for its lack of depth and Hachiman's lack of screen time. However, I suppose it's okay since it's the final season, and everything is wrapped up. It's not that it's better than the first two seasons, but it feels better structured in terms of script, characters, and conversations.

I just hope that Oregairu is remembered for the good message it conveys, rather than the useless fan-service characters that serve no purpose.

Finally, something decent in the entire series!

After the disastrous first season in terms of script and subplots, we arrive at the second season, which is the best of the three. I say this with pride because it's the best I've seen so far. This season has finally included the seriousness and complexity we've been craving since the first season. Thankfully, the stupid romantic comedy isn't present in this season, which makes me incredibly happy.

Firstly, the animation has changed for the better. The characters look much better than before, with more realistic expressions and conversations. The scenarios are also much better, and if they had ... animated the first season like this, I believe it would have been peak Oregairu. Unfortunately, that's not the case, thanks to the deplorable third season.

Hachiman has had more screen time in the first five episodes, and I love that. It's something that was lacking in the first season. The seriousness and the relationships between Yui, Yukinoshita, and Hachiman finally have some drama and complexity. We can finally understand Hachiman's feelings, perception, monologues, and intentions better. He's becoming a more complete and coherent character, making him more relatable, but that doesn't mean he's better.

Once again, pointless characters that serve no purpose appear, but as the series becomes more serious, they at least become decent characters. Unfortunately, hateful characters like Iroha and Orimoto still exist, and I genuinely don't understand the need to include them.

Hachiman's development is what stands out the most in this season. His attempts to question everything he's been doing so far regarding the service club and his relationships with Yuigahama and Yukinoshita make the series worth watching. Because it doesn't fall into the usual clichés, it's good, excellent, and incredible. It tackles genuine issues in a pretentious yet pertinent way. That's what Hachiman is searching for, in some way, he finds it. If only the series focused on these three characters, it would be good.

The teacher, Hiratsuka, is a hateful character in the first season, but in this one, she becomes someone decent and fundamental to Hachiman's development. Everything makes sense, everything is coherent, and that's what I love.

So, I highly recommend this season, although I only focus on the good aspects because the unnecessary characters and subplots, like the school events, are so horrible that they bore me. I only focus on the development, which is the only thing worth watching in this second season, not the service club cases, which I find scarce and pointless. Thankfully, they 're not as important in this season.

Charlotte. A premise that seemed promising, but ultimately ended up being cliché and meaningless. Maybe it's one of those anime that had great potential, but was let down by poor animation and simplistic characters. You couldn't expect much from it, so it wasn't hard to expect it to be a bad anime. It's simply a generic, average anime with at least a decent soundtrack, but that doesn't save it from being generic. Only watch this anime if you're bored. And stop being swayed by what others say, just because it has some good scenes doesn't make it a good anime. Clearly, that's just my opinion, ... I don't find anything good about it apart from the music, which even becomes annoying...
