Review #1: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come Wa Machigatteiru
(That can be simply called "OreGairu" -_- )
Review of season 1:
So starting with the concept of this anime, it is a really deep and good one.
One that digs in to one's high school years, mostly teen psychology although some characters are not really that realistic to be relatable but that is actually a good thing as a manga is fiction and if all characters get realistic then what's the point of writing a fiction after all.
Now onto the plot, the plot is well written and the scripts are actually well coordinated and it doesn't even once seem like dialogues or reactions have gone out of hand. With awesomely fitted humor and story that makes you glued to the screen.
The story is about Hikigaya Hachiman, a high schooler who's a loner and is basically ignored or not even known by most of his classmates. He is forced to join a 'Volunteer Club' by his teacher (who is depressed herself on her own matters!) Miss Hiratsuka.
While reluctant at first (not like he becomes willing later though!), he joins Yukino Yukinoshita, a to-the-point girl who's wary of Hikigaya at first but almost immediately realizes that she and he are same yet different. Yes, that's exactly it.
And later they are joined by Yuigahama who becomes an ally and develops affection for Hikigaya.
The characters play their roles well and the character development is handled extremely well for within a limited time of twelve episodes and an OVA.
The opening theme describes the mood of the anime very well and strikes the heart.
The pessimistic but realistic attitude of Hachiman gives people a detailed insight to the thorns of reality and makes people relate it to tjemselves allowing them to understand and enjoy the story well.
You smile for him, cry for him, cheer for him and even scold him at times because of his weird ways of handling things for others without caring if it'll hurt him.
Perhaps it might be my own experience as loner I could relate really well along the story but I doubt that others will not find Hachiman's quotes and philosophy not amusing. It's valuable, you can cherish those memories. But in the end Hachiman will always manage to capture or heart. While there are characters like Haruno that remain a mystery, the first season does give us a lot to expect and cherish.
The animation is well done. The eyes of the characters certainly do express what their personality is like. The detailing is also done well and the effects are blended in perfectly although minor errors are still prevalent.
So the conclusion is that this anime is worth a watch and not at all a waste of your time or DNA or ATP lol.
I call it magnificent, a really interesting series that anybody can enjoy.
