Yahari season 3 is the continuation of the weird and infructuous attempts of the two main characters to open to society. During the second part of season 2 both of them started to express their desires and frustrations, and little by little started to abandon their former twisted personalities.
Sadly this setting is poorly developed and most of the comedy that made the drama watchable and at some point enjoyable at season 1, is gone.
Confusing dialogues:
During most of season 2, in an attempt to depict the social opening and inner struggle of the main cast, they created inconsistent personalities and dialogues. This mixed with the short
...
amount of episodes per season and rushed story, ended up with a show that is hard to understand.
Season 3 takes the difficulty of understanding the dialogues even further. First because they are talking about more complex subjects than previous seasons. Second, because you have to remember a lot from the previous seasons and you have to read forums to fill some plot holes. Third because it got so cringy to read what they are saying that it becomes an obstacle.
Original plot is gone:
In season 1 and some part of season 2, there was a different plot and pacing, so the drama was exposed softly and was endurable. Now that is gone, this season is even more dramatic than season 2. You won't find the silly group of two antosocials, a silly girl and a violent teacher that solved the problem of the girly tennist or the insane novelist, anymore.
For me, this was one of the worst things, because even with the confusing dialogues, I had fun watching the characters doing their stuff and the silly love triangle starting to bloom in first season. If you take that out, and leave the rest you have nothing.
The way they treat Hachiman, and how it all feels so unreal:
I think that they treated him better in season 1 though.
Sometimes I feel bad for hachiman because they say in his face he is ugly, that they hate him, even his sister and the supposed waifus.
So If this plot intends to depict some degree of real social interactions, I don't understand why Hachiman hasn't left everyone for treating him that way.
Confusing dialogues 2:
I am not exaggerating, all dialogues are like the last dialogue from season 2. You remember how you were happy to understand a bit of the story decoding the dialogues and at some point in the last 10 minutes an avalanche of nonsense ended it? Well all dialogues feel like that sudden not understandingness.
Age of the viewer:
Even if you are a teenager, swimming in the endless sea of depression and hormones of your age, you will find painful to watch the dialogues even if you can bare the over exaggerated drama.
Conclusion:
I don't recommend this to anyone even if you want to see how the story ends. Because you will be better reading the end from a forum, you won't expend 12 x 20 minutes of your life trying to understand the dialogues, your time is more valuable this show doesn't deserve your time.
It is sad but happens, and one has to learn when to abandon an anime because it sank itself in its own trash.

Reading the other reviews posted here, and guessing that people watching this have already watched all previous seasons of Gintama; this will be a short review pointing out the worst things of this season.
Since the end of Gintama: Enchousen, every season of Gintama that has been released has had less quality than the previous one; reaching a point where It has lost its former essence and gets painful to keep watching.
The reasons of why this season is the worst and kills the anime, are these:
1 - Almost all the characters that have appeared in the series (even side characters from 2 or 4 episodes
...
of 350) make cameos and participate in the action, and everyone says a motivational speech a couple of times while fighting. It happened the same in the arc of Shogun's death, every character gives a speech with sentimental background music; it ruins the mood and gets annoying.
2 - Everyone is overpowerd for the sake of plot twists.
3 - There are a lot of flashbacks, some last half an episode.
4 - Gintoki lost his personality somewhere in the series, and now he is just a guy who yells at people, vomits at people, and tramples hordes of enemies.
He was a young adult with financial problems, drinking problems, gambling problems, diabetes, who cared more for sugar or taking a nap than getting involved with women. Now he has become someone who goes around doing barely nothing.
In my opinion Gintama should have stayed as a full comedy series with ocasional half comedy half serious arcs, and have an open ending; this is just a bad shonen.
In conclusion, I give this series a 6; but I recommend you to watch this. Why?, because you are going to watch it anyway; and is a good way of learning how to kill a good show.

Freezing, an anime that has nothing to do with cold or winter. As there are a lot of other reviews for this anime I am going to write a short review with some little points that are not included in other ones.
-First of all Freezing hasn't got any content that could qualify as "Harem, martial arts, or sci-fi", so for the ones that are tempted to watch it looking for that kind of content will feel disappointed (I point this out because it is categorized with those genres). This is a romance anime with poor interaction or development with the ones involved (Main + Main
...
Heroine 1 + Main Heroine 2) and with absolutely one sided attraction from one of the main heroines. About the martial arts, this anime has none. Only two characters fight bare handed and it is just that. And about sci-fi, the only thing that comes to my mind that could be sci-fi is the technology used for making the "Pandoras" (why don't call the anime that way, it has more sense) and some computers they use; and they don't speak of that too much.
-Second, this anime is indeed over dramatic. For and ecchi-action series this has tons of childish drama. And everything goes around the fame and prestige of the students in this school and who beats who and to respect the senpais... They put more focus on the competitions between students than to fight the eva-like creatures that attack the planet
-Third, the only relation between the title of the anime (Freezing) and its content is that the male students only ability (Yes the only reason for males to exist in this school is to use one ability that at some point is useless) is called "Freezing". Also there is a very annoying fact about this, all what males do here is to follow around this rich ladies as they were dogs; and when they use their only power somehow it is easily countered by almost anyone.
-Fourth and last, as much as I dislike overpowered characters I found quite annoying the way they changed the main heroine in the last episodes (and got worse in the second season). I don't want to spoil the background of this character, but to summarize it she has been harmed in a way that made develop a phobia to be touched; this bound together with the fact that she is kinda overpowered presented her as an untouchable character. The problem is they change her too much, to the point that in the second season she is has almost the opposite personality
Story 5 + Art 6 + Sound 6 + Character 5 + Enjoyment 6 = aprox 6
Conclusion: This is a regular quality battle-ecchi-seinen anime. You will not find harem or romance or martial arts, and you will find almost nonexistent comedy or character development. Watch it if you have nothing better to watch, I would recommend "Ranma 1/2" for romance-martial arts or "Mahou sensei negima" for action-ecchi (not to much action but is better made)

I will not write a large review because all the other reviews cover almost all the good/bad aspects of this show. I will mention some bad points I found:
-First of all, despite all what fans say about novels, what you get on screen is what is important for an anime; and what you get on screen is what you would get if you put Hadji from Blood+ in a high school & magic series. The MC is an emotionless guardian of a High School girl, but what you see in the series is that he is more focused in helping in club activities
...
than guarding this girl. This overpowered emotionless sis-con main character ends up involved in some "High-school police club" and in a "science project" in the last arc, only to show he is super cool minded and intelligent and strong. But if he has no feelings why he participates in activities that feed ego, and if he is so intelligent how the convince him??
The only girl that doesn't fall for him, is just used for a scene where they say something like this : "You like Tatsuya but as he is super power full and cool and you are just mediocre you choose a mediocre boy, because you will never be as godlike like him"
-Second, they over explain everything. When they cast a spell they explain all the steps and the names and the calculations,etc. It is not intelligent, it fills empty spaces with senseless blah blah blah...
Conclusion: As the anime is 100% the main character and the main character is inconsistent and empty (ON SCREEN) and isn't enough interesting (At least without the novels information) , the show is quite monotone and repetitive.
(Story 2 + Art 6 + Sound 5 + Character 1 + Enjoyment 1)/5 = 3
