Reminder to accept no less than a threesome end.

>>141424329
I like both. Can't decide.

I like both, but ultimately prefer season 2. Season 1 feels a little simplistic and the animation quality/design is often very mediocre. Season 2 has a difficult time pulling off Yukino's typical facial expression shown in the s1 picture, which may in part be due to character development, it's nice that we see her smile far more often now though.
>>141425188
This guy knows what's up, we haven't really seen Yui's rack up close in season 2 as far as I can recall, but they seem smaller.

Yeah, I'm not sure why she got downgraded.

Yukinon's are perfect as always: modest, but not flat.

>>141425843
I don't like the facial close-ups in S2 at all, like a kid's drawing

>>141425295
the main series ending is clear. Yukino is conflicted on her lesbian love of Yui and straight love of Hachiman. She really wants to be the girlfriend of both. Hachiman also has a certain amount of the bi going on with Totsuka. Clearly the four-way Yui-Yukino-Hachiman-Totsuka path is the correct one

Yuki is a Lesbian? Hello? Say what? I am pretty sure 8mans attraction to Totsuka is just a gag.. you know that right?

Yukino and Yui designs from S1 were superior.

S2 8man is too handsome

>>141424329
I'm going to say S1 simply because of bias. S2 took a scene I cried at in the light novel and made it solely awkward. Not to mention S2 has weird adaptation decisions where some books only got a small portion of time compared to the others. The Hayato Science/Arts fiasco in particular got, what, a single episode? Where as it was an entire novel to begin with. S1 just had better decisions and impact all around.

Hikki looks better (or at least more believable as a loser) in Season 1. When it comes to the other characters, both designs are fine.
In terms of plot, the first season shits all over the second though. The only good thing that happened in the second season was Iroha.

Post Accelerator

S1 Hachiman actually looks like an unfriendly faggot. S1 Hachiman wins no contest.

>>141430767

So, an accurate representation.

Granted, season 2 made him look somewhat attractive but creepy, which is how he is described.

>>141424329
why did I like this anime

>>141430941
Because it takes generic high school rom com situations and adds biting cynicism in place of where the idealism is supposed to be. However it manages to do that without being moody and unbearable to sit through.

>>141431038
>moody and unbearable to sit through
The sequel had a lot of great character interaction, but the whole GENUINE bit is exactly as you describe.

Komachi looked better in season 1

>>141431038
Not really, it's the same school life "teenagers learning to stop being antisocial spergs" with the usual trope of everyone falling for the MC as most other shows of this type. Yahari's nothing particularly special.

>>141428266
Hachiman has commented several times on their "slightly unhealthy Yuru-Yuri relationship"

>>141431072
And that's why I FUCKING HATE it in the anime. The light novel made me tear up, legit. After Hikki tries his best to save his club and gets kicked in the balls at the end when he find out that even if they were in the council they still would have been the same club in spirit, and finds his club slowly drifting apart as Iroha drags him around like a dog, the pent up frustration and anguish going in there, as well as the fact he has trouble finding the words and everyone is sobbing even before he finishes that thing he can't describe, is really touching in the novels.
In the anime it's a cringe scene.
imo and all that.

It's clear that Saki is at least interested, even if she's not pursuing him very hard.

I thought it was pretty clear during the chocolate making scene and afterwards.

>>141431867
It's been a while since I've seen/read it admittedly. After S2 ended I stepped back from it, so I could easily be forgetting all her signs and flags as she isn't exactly a major character.

>>141431714
Nice try Yukinocuck. Yui won and Yukino helped her proving that she doesn't like him to begin with. She got her happy friendship end. Yui will win again in the main series.

I probably co't help but think about this webm when I eventually watch the Mad Max movies.

Yuifag here. I am very worried that WW is taking so long with vol 12 and that Yui won the AU. I am still pissed that he made Yui seem like a Hikki hungry girl that would step on her friend's throat.

I like both

>>141432232
I'm out of the loop. What is this AU that's being mentioned?

>>141432268
ANOTHER. Yui wins and Yukino helps her but swallows her feelings while doing so.

>>141432268
it's a bone Watari threw the Yuifags where all of a sudden Hachiman doesn't care about Yukino any more and other characters start acting weird in freaky unnatural way. Under those conditions Yui can win apparently. Has nothing to do with OreGairu other than same names so don't bother with it

>>141432232
That's the natural pain of two friends loving and going for same guy. It's a part of life, deal with it. Yukino will step on Yui's feelings and heart in the main series, watch for it

Speaking as a nonwatcher, S2 Yukino looks terrible in almost every picture I've seen. The others look okay either way.

>>141424329
In retrospect, both fit for what they are. S1 is more comedic and lighthearted, while S2 is where all the heavy stuff happens.

I wouldn't want Hachiman's famous line from S2 with the season 1 character designs and art design, it just wouldn't hit as hard.

So say Hachiman rejects Yui, friendzones Iroha, then goes all in for Yukino. Yukino overcomes all her issues, is completely better, but then rejects Hachiman because she's leaving and can't be with him, leaving him devastated, will Haruno feel a tiny shred of sympathy for him?

Does she care about the tool in her hand to fix Yukino after the job is done? Or does she just callously cast the tool aside?

>>141441307
Haruno doesn't care about Hachiman. She only cares about him as long as he interacts with Yukino.

>>141441307
I like pity-sex as this is the only way i can fuck other than criminal acts

>>141441307
She wouldn't give a fuck.But that's fine because Hachiman would do something ridiculous and potentially self-destructive to out-plan her if it came to that.

S1 is self-insert tier.
Middle is superior.

I think Yukino and Haruno suffered the most from the design change. They're still decent but I vastly prefer S1. Everyone else improved.

>>141441541

I agree. Although I'm not as bothered by S2 Yukino as S2 Haruno.

>>141440906
>Handsome 8man

Why? Part of his character is that he's supposed to be ugly or at least normal looking.

>there are people who unironically prefer the looks of S1 with poorer production values

>>141441612
The characters tend to comment that the only unappealing part of his face is his eyes. Otherwise, he'd actually be really handsome.

>>141441633
Look more charming. S2 designs suffer from sameface syndrome and the production values and animation aren't that good of an improvement, they actually look kind of plastic-y and too shiny in S2.

The only thing I really like about S2 design is how Yukino and Hachiman look made for each other.

I mean look at that fucking couple. They're like soulmates.

>>141441772
There's nothing "charming" about S1's designs, they are simply bad. Both seasons have the typical modern anime colouring so that's not a big difference to me. S2 definitely has far superior character animation.

>>141441880
So as sensei, rumi and blonde yukinon?

>>141441721
No one has ever said that he was handsome apart from his eyes, only that his eyes were really creepy. The only one who has commented on his looks in a somewhat positive manner is Yukino.

I wish all the Yukinofags got cancer. They are too delusional.

Why is Yui trying to steal Yukino's bf? Friends don't do that to each other. Yui is an awful and stupid person. She doesn't even know penguins are birds.

>>141442191
Go away Yuipollfag.

>>141424329
Hikki's eyes don't look close enough to that of a dead fish. S1 design is better in that regard.
Apart from that, I don't mind either design, but I wish S1 had less QUALITY. Unless I mix it up and there wasn't that much more than in S2.

>>141442038
Both season are of the typical anime style, but at least S2 designs are more detailed and visually appealing. The only anime that I can say has somewhat similar design to S2 is the Railgun anime, but that's because they have the same character designer. There's a decent amount of subtle character animation in the form of stylized realism too, the second season had good main animators after all unlike the first which had no good animators.

>>141441612
8man's not supposed to look ugly. Yukino said his eyes are rotten after 8man commented on his own good looks, but she danced around the comment while not saying anything about his supposed other good looks. Yui also said he looks pretty plain after Saika said he looks pretty good. Komachi also remarked that his "dead-fish" eyes are the only unappealing part about him, and that he used to not have such an unappealing look. All in all, he definitely doesn't look ugly to the other characters. Perhaps he does look like a pretty boy, but his rotten facial expressions diminish that.

>>141442439
No one has actually said he looks handsome except him. They're all just "well, you're not ugly".

S2 looks strange.

I'd fuck S2 8man just sayin

Hachiman isn't ugly. His eyes are "rotten", but otherwise it's mostly his poker face and creepy mannerisms that make him unattractive.

He's not some Adonis chiseled from stone, either.

I dunno. I generally think of him as someone who is decent enough looking where looks won't hurt him overmuch (if not for the aforementioned parts, some of which come down to personal taste), but unlike Hayama not so good looking that he should be posing for romance novel covers.

>>141442825

There's no need to spoiler that. Everyone already knows the inevitable end.

>>141424329
S1

>>141442344
Well I don't agree. The designs did not appeal to me.

There wasn't that much improvement in animation either, aside from like 6 or 7 very short scenes, worst thing (for me) is that half of those were done by Tetsuya Takeuchi and I really hate his style.

>>141442854
Last I checked Yui won. Yukino is lucky that Yui looks out for her and is sweet to her.

>>141441383

that doesn't explain her interest and remarks about him such as "maybe you're too good for Yukino-chan" or Hayama's observation about setting up double date which was not for Yukino at all "she must like you"

>>141431773
>no the two loners already have friends and acquaintances now
it took the protagonist 11 volumes to be able to talk to the two girls in an honest manner
that other anon is sort of correct, it's another series about school kids getting their heads out of their asses. That doesn't make it inherantly bad or anything, and I guess on some levels Yahari carries this out in an interesting manner.

>>141443076

S1 had its charm, but S2 is just beautiful.

S1 was goofy enough to warrant more laid back designs.
S2 had more character development and genuine, which I think it works the best with its design.

After reading vol 10 infirmary scene, I have to agree the anime exaggerated it.

I'm not sure it's the moment Yukino realized she liked Hachiman. She must have known it before. It may have been the moment Yui realized Yukino liked Hachiman though.

>>141444618
I don't think it is where she figures it out either. In ANOTHER she never has that scene but likes him and is aware of it.

>>141444779

Which would mesh with it being the scene that tells Yui that Yukino likes him. Because as I understand it Yui doesn't figure it out in ANOTHER until the chocolate making scene.

>>141444867
From what I have read on nip sites Japan thinks that the infirmary scene is the trigger for Yukino to want to pursue 8man. Without it she doesn't make him chocolate. It sort of proves that what was in her bag is a symbol of her feelings and her wanting to pursue.

I always thought S1 looked way better I was really confused when I moved on to S2

>>141424329
s1 for hachiman
s2 for everyone else

they made him too handsome in s2

>>141445307

Maybe. I just felt like the scene in the LN was underwhelming compared to the anime.

I agree it could be a trigger or romance flag, especially given how in ANOTHER the flag went to Yui and Yukino acted differently in the end.

>>141445651
Anime tends to need to beat you over the head with things. It is like that with any book ---> anime/movies/tv show.

So did Yui really win? Is she going out with hachiman or did Yukinon just say she will support Yui or some shit like that because when someone says that they usually go back on it.

>>141445360
I believe S2 8man would have two hotties barking up his tree. S1 8man is a stretch even for Yui to look at him.

>>141446880

Yui won ANOTHER. Main story is yet to be decided.

>>141446880
Yes, she is on a v day date with Yui and he holds her hand. He promises to go on ANOTHER one and it gives the feel of a romance that has just started.

Yukino was getting shit from Harunon, Yui figures out that Yukino likes Hikki and hesitates, Yukino calmly diffuses the situation and encourages Yui. Yui knows that Yukino likes him but Yui will take him even if she knows it isn't fair. It is implied Yukino will only hide her feelings rather than stop having them. Yukino didn't make any proclamation she would help Yui out, she just gave her an assist.

>some shit like that because when someone says that they usually go back on it.

This isn't Nisekoi. WW has clearly had a plan in motion for this series since at least volume 6, probably earlier.

>>141447181
Then why hasn't he released vol 12 yet? ANOTHER only gives Yui a good end and Yukino an "I'm okay" end.

>>141447250
8man should tap that and say that it is practice for Hayama.

>>141447181
With each passing day I'm starting to believe that less and less.

>>141447294

> Then why hasn't he released vol 12 yet?
Well, until a couple of months ago he was doing ANOTHER alongside it. Plus he is working on multiple non-Oregairu projects at the same time as well which dominate his twitter feed these days. It's also quite possible vol 12 will be a longer volume than normal for the series.

But really, I don't feel the wait has been that arduous. Maybe it's from having to put up with true epically slow writers like GRRM and Rothfuss.

>>141447299

What makes you think that? Please don't say the wait or ANOTHER, which is mostly just glorified fanservice to try and satisfy Yuifags.

Watari should have finished this series first before doing other shit. You can't deny that. No one asked for another. We could have had a proper conclusion to the story months ago, but no. Feel free to keep defending the guy however.

>>141447549
>We might have to wait for vol 12 to find that out.
Well yeah but I find it odd he went out of his way to make a heavily pro Yui end.

>>141447849

> You can't deny that.

Purely in our interest? Sure it would have been better for him to write vol 12 immediately and not do anything else.

In his interest? It's a little different. It is to his advantage to squeeze as much as he can get from Oregairu before it's over.

We can not like it all we want, but it doesn't mean at all that he has no idea how he intends for it to end. He has already given us one ending to the series. There is no reason to think he doesn't know exactly what he wants the "real" ending to be. This wait is nowhere near long enough to start making that accusation. That's all I am saying.

>>141424329
S1 all the way. S2 8man isn't as unattractive, and the girls are overcomplex.

I watched this for the first time last week. I need more Iroha.

What triggers Yuifags the hardest: Yukino's character song or the recipes?

I still don't get why the recipes trigger them.

>>141448120

I think the recipes. They have mostly given up on attacking her character song since those came out.

>>141448107
What's so great about her? I don't hate her but she just falls in love with the pretty boy like any other.

>>141448120

They'll find something else, don't worry about it.

>>141424329
If I removed 8man's ahoge, would he die?

>>141448196
Nothing really.

>>141448164
But what about the recipes pisses them off? Is it because it strongly implies Yukino likes 8man? Or is it because it proves Yui isn't a perfect, benevolent angel?

It shows that Yui at the end of the day would on Yukino just for 8man.

>>141448120

They're in volume R. They take place at R's chocolate making event. They are basically memorandums from Yukino and Yui that describe their feelings in making the chocolates. I will post them, give me a minute.

Honestly speaking all is fair in love and war, especially for women if it's love they need to fight for their man which makes it hotter.

Yukinoshita's recipe

Placing wheat flour, sugar and chocolate on the weighing scales.
Properly arranging all those that have been weighed.
To decide on the correct amount of time, to perfectly build up a list of established procedures.
In order for it to not go wrong, so that there will be no mistakes.
However, there is just one thing, there are lies mixed into it.
For what the truth is worth, there is a spoonful of lies.
As I baked them one by one, towards the weak looking portions, gracefully, without leaving a gap or an uneven surface, I coat it with a layer of bitter chocolate.
From the view here, the fine powdered sugar sparkled beautifully like snow.
The sugar falling down as I sprinkle them was just like the snow.
They could probably cover up and hide just about everything.
I think it's cowardly.
I'd probably even accepted this cowardly side of me already.
She is. My friend.
Knowing this and yet trying to hide it, I think I am probably trying to push my feelings of guilt onto her.
I am probably still clinging on to those sweet things.
However, because there are still things that I desire.
That's why, I will do the things that I can do.
I can only do it up till this point, the rest depends on you.
Telling her this, I turn around to face her.
And with that, I began to recall my initial conversation with her.
Just like that time too, it was just the two of us.
What kind of conversation it was, with the exception of the two of us, there was no one else, not even him, who knows it.
Yet, she was just like that time; I could see an uneasy expression on her.
To try and ease her uneasiness, I spoke to her in as gentle a tone as possible.
It's alright as long as you can smile even more brightly than during that time.
"The next time, the handmade cookies, we are going to give it right?"
Surely, this is the correct form.
Therefore, this is my recipe.

Yui's recipe

Putting the sugar little by little with trembling hands.
Even if the product doesn't come out nicely, it's fine.
It would be the best if it could come out cutely though.
But, it probably won't end up being like that.
Because there's a lot of things mixed into it.
I tried to collect just the sweet things, just the cute things and only the things that you like.
Just as I thought, it can't be done.
Chiseling here, cutting there, an unevenness all around. Sweet and bitter.
I am not particularly smart or anything. I've probably always been this way.
That's why, there's no way I can do it perfectly.
I don't know what is "correct". It's definitely not the right way to do it however.
Therefore, I've always been putting in some sort of subtle seasoning that only I know.
So as to not let anyone know. So as to not let him know.
Milk and condensed milk. Also, a little of bitter coffee.
Towards that pure white cream, mixing a little of black bit by bit.
The original whiteness of it can no longer be restored.
No matter how diluted it is, how much I add, he will surely remember the bitterness.
It's unfair, for both me and her.
However, it's because of love that this unfairness even arose.
I want to keep loving you. Both me and my friend.
Calling out, looking up. My eyes catches hold of the serious expression and I flinch, just a little.
Just like that time, I wonder if it was done nicely.
Totally different from me, not one bit of me bears any resemblance.
That's why I am attracted to you and rapidly fall in love with you
At the very beginning when I first talked to you, I was so nervous that I could barely converse.
Probably, the same was true for the other as well.
Though I want to give a smile that was more earnest than always, I don't think I have the confidence to even smile like I usually do.
However, probably, the way in which both she and I smiled were likely to be the same.
"......Un. I will try to do it, my own way. Thank you."

>>141448450

(cont)

Whether it's correct or not I do not know. However, this will be my recipe.

>>141448314
Honestly speaking I think she better stop doing that with Hachiman because she is probably gonna get rejected again by the pretty boy because of that behaviour. Even worse she may fall in love with him which will make it even worse for her.

>>141448583
I think so too. I don't want her to win anyway, why would I want the girl I like to date another guy?

>>141448310

Well if you remember when R came out, the very first spoilers we got were basically "perfect Yui end and everyone is happy".

I think some (not all) Yuifags had latched onto the idea that Yui would get her fairy tale "happy ending" in ANOTHER to compensate for an expected more painful outcome for her in the main story.

But the recipes pour cold water on the idea that ANOTHER is a perfect ending. It's so close to perfect, but a little bitterness is mixed in. Yukino just isn't quite alright with everything in ANOTHER. Unlike what some people say she's not in total meltdown, but there's a note of pain for her. And Yui is aware of it (but perhaps not the total depth of it).

Some believe she is still going to win the main series.

I think we are reading it wrong. Yui wouldn't leave Yukino to hurt just to get her Hikki. Even if she doesn't know the depth of Yukino's problems she knows it hurts to lose your crush to your best friend.

Why would Yui prioritize Yukino's friendship over being with Hachiman? She has had feelings for Hachiman longer than she has ever known Yukino.

>>141462502
She may value her friendship with Yukino more than romance with 8man and values Yukino's feelings. Time doesn't have anything to do with it. She values the club most of all.

>>141463055

> She may value her friendship with Yukino more than romance with 8man

She obviously does not and it would have been a surprise if she did.

She cares about Yukino, but she wants the 8man more than anything.

>>141463098
>it would have been a surprise if she did.
She seemed to really like Yukino. All 8man ever does for Yui is make her into a ball of emotions.

>She cares about Yukino, but she wants the 8man more than anything.
Then why did she make her proposal at the end of vol 11? She tried to do the best thing for Yukino and wasn't interested in succeeding.

>>141463281

> wasn't interested in succeeding

She knew Hachiman and Yukino well enough to know that she wouldn't succeed. However, deep down, she would take it if it were possible.

>>141463324
>However, deep down, she would take it if it were possible.
Why do you think that? That would be very selfish to want to be the only one happy. I don't think she wants Yukino to swallow her feelings, she gave Yukino every opportunity to try and confess.

Yui - zoku
8man - season 1
Yukinon - season 2

Yukino closing off her feelings and her problems limits her ability to get close to 8man and Yui. It may alienate her and cause her not to do anything about her main problem. I don't think that is a very good end for her so ANOTHER isn't her happy end like some anons claim.

>>141467475

When did I say she wants to be the only one happy? But if someone has to get hurt, she will take Yukino getting hurt over herself.

Why do Yuifags persist in placing her on some pedestal of perfection that turns her into a joke and a caricature? Hachiman revisits two things at the end of vol 11: That Yukino is a "strong girl" and Yui is a "nice girl". Both assertions are wrong.

Yui is not a nice girl. Repeat after me, Yuifag: "Yui is not a nice girl". Keep saying it until it finally gets through your thick skull.

Since Orimoto was one of the key factors in Hachiman's pathos, particularly towards 'nice girls', when Yui loses the 8bowl she should track Orimoto down and disembowel her as painfully as possible.

Yui might not be a nice girl, but 8man thought she was at one point. If not for his trauma induced hangups, the two might have become a couple long ago.

Sakisaki.
She's the only one I could see and ending with both of them happily married together until death break them apart. And maybe, just maybe, with her 8man could even hope to get on the house-husband route.
But really, she's the only one who's good enough as a woman, mother, housekeeper, the perfect wife.
And also isn't a slut (Iroha), isn't dumb/gullible (Yui), isn't a major pestering unsufferable bitch (Yukino), doesn't have friends/relatives/people who care more about her social status than her/them, and would give her/them shit (more or less all three of YYI), isn't an old hag full of dangerous addictions AND a few bad flaws (Shizuka), isn't a manipulative bitch (Haruno), and so on...
She's the most family oriented girl of the cast, and that's not a subjective matter.
She's undoubtedly interested in him, they both got "fans" or "helpers" ready to help them in their future relationship (2 sisters and 1 brother), and so on...
No really, what do you need anymore, 8man?
Too bad he doesn't really give a fuck about her, that means he doesn't fucking deserve such a perfect waifu. Whoever is gonna marry her, will be the true winner of Oregairu.

>>141424329
>Which design do you prefer?
Who cares. R and volume 12 out now godfuckingdamnit.
Also I want a You ending because Yui best girl (Iroha close second) and it's the only way the problems of all three are gonna get solved.

>>141474464
The last addition to Oregairu/Yahari, check sadpanda or similar. It's finally the full work, not a sample anymore.

>>141473130
Yui and Iroha get the closest.
Yui because she's the one closest to understand what 8man actually means by genuine, and by character is by far the most equipped and willing to provide it to him.
Iroha because there's real attraction and they understand each other better than everyone else
The worst possible scenario would be Yukino, really. He's just gonna become her new Haruno, not solving either's problem, and she's always the one most at fault for fakeness. Not to mention she's spooked to shit, and they look more like they admire each other than they're in love.

>>141424329
S1, not only because it was the first time I saw those characters, but also because they're too shiny, and glittering, and fabulous in S2, and I don't really like them there. Also, I think they're cuter in S1, because they're simpler. And simple equals cuteness, sometimes.

Wow, this is pathetic. Is this really what you got out of the series? So let's take a look at ANOTHER, Yui's route. The route where Hachiman gives up on wanting something genuine. How in the fuck do you come to this conclusion:

>Yui because she's the one closest to understand what 8man actually means by genuine, and by character is by far the most equipped and willing to provide it to him.

>I'm not even going to touch on the other points because that is just wrong.
You haven't touched any point at all actually, just said you disagreed.

And there's not much to say about it either: Yui is the only one who wants to keep smashing down walls to get at 8man, who is willing to hurt and be hurt to get at him and who wants him rather than need him. She's the one who is gonna go get Hachiman if he's not gonna come.
Yukinofaggotry is denial of all character development for the sake of fanservice and trite loner combination. Not to mention it would be as toxic a relationship as it gets.

So, what was the point of s2? The novel is like 2 volumes away from the end, so there won't be enough material for a third season. Is it just going to be left incompete? Will they make an OVA?

But Komachi doesn't seem into Taishi, as much as 8man himself isn't into Saki, just as I said. The Kawasakis are into the Hikigayas, but the Hikigayas don't really give a fuck about the Kawasakis.
Also, I know an old couple whose siblings also married eachother, and it worked fine for all 4 of them. But, it seems that all 4 of them were all friends from early childhood, so I can't say if that worked only because of that reason.

>>141476354
I don't give a shit about an OVA. I want the end of the story. You need to get real, no one asked for this other garbage, people want the conclusion to the story so they can move on with their lives.

>>141475302
>Is it weird to marry the sibling of your sibling's partner?
Not really. I could see it being weird if a total siscon and a total brocon end up together when the targets of their affection become a couple, but given a normal and healthy family relationship there'd be nothing weird about such a situation.

>>141475759
Maybe her other works, but not
THIS ONE >>141474431
That's because it's basically trap on male, and Ebina/fujoshis in general don't really like traps, and even if they somewhat like 'em, they only put them in the uke role.
That's also the reason as to why I only like about only 10% of the stuff from this author, too much yaoi and not enough traps and futas.

>>141474914
but that carving on railing when Hiratsuka talking to Hachiman, Kawaski loved and had her heart broken so might be unwilling in present to try again. Maybe someday she'll get a side story, I'd pair her with that strong silent big man in Hayama's clique Yamato

>>141476417
>people want the conclusion to the story so they can move on with their lives
Actually I'd rather he does his extra shit rather than just mail in a shit ending just to end it.

>>141476417
> I want the end of the story.
why are you complaining here? go write a letter to the author who hasn't written the ending yet

>>141443255
More like she sees he's too much into Yui to try and get between them.
It's clear as fuck that she's a little romantically interested in him. Just a tiny little bit, but there's something.

>>141476417
the Japanese don't have your problem of having patience of a three-year-old. They enjoy the live shows, radio shows, OVA etc. of oregairu. mellow out, watch other anime and read other LN/Manga. being obsessed with one isn't healthy

>>141476525

This is old bait, senpai. Step up your game.

>>141470675
I don't get why a Yuifag would think she's a "nice girl". Her whole appeal is that she's actually the one who likes 8man and wants to go and get him.
Her whole issue to be solved was putting others before herself, so necessarily her growth needs to be prioritizing what she wants over what Yukino needs.

>>141459425
If I take on their character, then Komachi. If I keep my own character, Hayato.

With all the shit WW talks about LN authors being poor and having unstable earnings, I have to wonder: how much dosh did he make out of the oregairu franchise? Is it known?

>>141475617
True mate like they say All is fair in love and war.
I hate it when the girl who's trying her hardest for the guy doesn't get rewarded and instead the other girl that is hesitant and unwilling and just expects things to fall in place for her wins, it really ticks me off.

>>141431145
rumi-rumi is such a sexual creature, that pose is just too much.

>>141474431
Holy shit that was so fucked up. That was so gross, way too big for Totsuka.
And that's a pity, we don't see many trap on male stuff around, too bad the artist had to fucking ruin everything with that monster cock. Fuck her/him, it's okay to give the trap a big enough dick, but that was way overboard.
Gross, gross, gross.

>>141476875
Not bait at all, having view focused on that writing for a time was not purposeless, in anime things are shown for a reason

>>141477466
Well that's not really what I was trying to say tho. It's not like I wanna see Yui get her just deserts, it's just that it'd be totally out of character (or rather, a total denial of growth) for 8man to go for fakenoshita unless there's like 8 more novels worth of character development to go.

>>141477722
Yukino has one and only one issue to solve; don't need 8 volumes just a change of heart which the ending of vol 11 /s2 may well be. Yui is the "fake", the one who values her superficial clique and who has to balance her friendship with them and the club sometimes causing issues.

>>141477700
It's called filler, senpai. Just like the characters's songs.
Everybody AND THEIR MOTHERS knows that if something doesn't come from the primary source, whether it's manga, or LN, or VN, or whatever, it's to be considered filler.

You forgot the femdom stuff. Pic related.
Best club activities ever.

>>141477972
Wrong not filler, had a purpose. that cost time and money to do and Watari had it done. You make things up in the world between your ears and imagine it's truth that "everyone and their mother knows" . You plus the voices in your head don't make a more weighty source

>>141478018
that's against this board's rules; read them so you don't get banned

>>141477823
Yukino's issue is that she's dependent on others. That's not gonna get solved quickly in any way that would be compatible with her ending up with 8man, because she's already showing signs that her affection is shifting Haruno's role onto 8man.
Yui's issue is that she puts others before herself. The literally perfect way to solve that is by her deciding take 8man for herself and fuck Yukino's needs and the riajuu's opinion (not that they'd care really).
Hachiman's issue is that he wants real, unadulterated relationships. Who's more likely to provide that, the girl with tons of side issues which may or may not be the reason she likes him or the girl who genuinely just wants him no strings attached?

>>141478244
So Yui the girl that fell in love with Hachiman because he saved her dog is the genuine article then?

>>141478321
Yes. If they endure the dog's death of age they're gonna be together forever.
Also you're being silly. There's literally a whole arc about how the accident was mere serendipity and in no way responsible for Yui's feelings.

>>141478018
Jesus christ, what the fuck?

Sauce?

>>141478466
The point to that arc was that even if the car accident hadn't happened, Yui would have been sent to the Service Club, where Hachiman would have helped her out and then she would have fallen for him. So a requirement for Yui to fall in love with Hachiman is him helping her out.

>>141424329
Why is his hair green in S1 and blue in Zoku?

>>141476508
It's Ebina's signature to make Hikigaya into an uke no matter what the circumstance.

>>141478244
You are out of the story anon, Yukino feelings have not anythig to do with her family problems.
Yukino problem is that she is a bit coward and tend to hide her feelings instead of going for what she wants, but if you have read the end of vol 11 and her character song, that is going to change, she will pursue what she wants including 8man.
Yui is far from genuine just for the reason that she said herself that "she would be fine even with a lie".

>>141476417
>being a whiny little shit
You make Yuifags almost tame and likable by comparison.

>>141478843
When you say almost, you mean that Yuifags are still a little worse or impatient anon?

>>141424329
I personally think s2 artstyle fits the more serious vibe of the anime. Can't say I have a favourite, though I do wish that one lock of hair on Hikki's head would go away - it's just irritating to look at and not very genuine.

Haven't caught up on the novel in ages, scared it'll turn out like another failure to rival Boku wa Tomodachi.

I swear to god if both girls win and it ends up being a 3 way ending I will buy all the novels if they are localized and or buy the blue ray if it has the same ending. That would make the author fucking based as hell.

>>141478983
Does it really need to be said?

YES

>>141478244
Not quite, Yukino is carried along by expectations and desires of overpowering family instead of standing up for herself. That's the only "dependency" she has in not choosing her direction and going for her own desires. Part of doing so is about her future, part of doing so is going for the one she loves against family desires. She will be dependent on no one if she does that

>>141461063
Another should've been about Yuigamama and Yukimom fighting over 8man

>>141478785
>Yui is far from genuine just for the reason that she said herself that "she would be fine even with a lie".
All three of them are far from being genuine, especially Hachiman. Their whole growth is predicated upon overcoming that.

>>141479215
>That's the only "dependency" she has in not choosing her direction and going for her own desires.
The feeling I get from reading is actually the opposite: she literally lets anyone leads her around, in spite of what she wants. Yui basically has her on a leash, and she is unable to go stand up to 8man and actually all too willing to follow his lead in spite of disliking the direction.

>>141479496
>and she is unable to go stand up to 8man and actually all too willing to follow his lead in spite of disliking the direction.
That only happens after Hachiman crushed her self-confidence during the events of volume 8.

>>141479572
No it happens from the beginning all the way to volume 11. It's literally a recurring plot point until the genuine speech, and it keeps happening till the last pages where you have Yukino repeat verbatim 8man's words to Haruno. The girl got issues, and 8man/Yui enable her by their very presence. Which is why he wants them to stay the fuck out of her business.
