Bro are you doing good? You havent uploaded in 2 years so have you stopped the channel? If you have any interest to come back please do your in depth analysis on characters made me realise things about shows i thought i knew everything about but if this is the end of your channel thanks for everything.
Thank you for this video, the timing of it all is crazy. I’m still in the process of trying it love myself fully despite hiding behind a mask for most of my relationships in life, I pushed people away because I feared being hurt & not wanting to hurt others even though they’re gonna be hurt regardless of my actions. I really grew fond of hachiman & easily become one of my favorite MC’s. Oregairu will always have a special place in my heart, whoever is reading this, may we all find ways to find that genuine thing & achieve happiness.
Understanding her wont make me like her such a hateful bit$% . But yeah mom and dad are the true sick . The tow sisters might as well call there mom/dad master they treat them like animals to use as they wish not children to love
5:50 Haruno was never stuco president That's actually a major plot point on why Yukino was miffed about 8man taking away her reason to be president, since it would have set her apart from her sister.
I had trouble making friends for my entire life. Around 17, I started putting myself out there more and got friends, but over time these interactions got less satisfying for me. I don’t think I saw this as a problem, but instead that it just was the way it was. I first watched Oregairu a long time ago and enjoyed it but it didn’t stick with me, for whatever reason it didn’t click. When season 3 came out I rewatched the entire show, and that made me realize why I was dissatisfied with my social interactions. I could finally put the concept of genuineness into words. Since then I’ve been aware of that and make an effort to be more genuine with others, in the hope of forming intimate close relationships that I can enjoy with someone else. I have not figured out how exactly to go about doing this, but I now have a clear goal in mind thanks to Oregairu. It feels good to know someone else was impacted by this show as much as I was, it felt life changing for me. I wish you the best in opening up to others.
Thank you so much for sharing your feelings, not only about the anime but yourself as well. I often found myself reflecting on my high school years while watching this anime, it left me with a bittersweet sense of self depreciation and regret. I never really fit into any groups so I isolated myself from everyone and minded my own business and would often times just sleep as soon as I finished my work which ended up getting me expelled two months before graduation even though I had good enough grades. I regret not ever trying to branch out or talk to anyone. I ostracized myself even though I had plenty of opportunities to get into groups but never had the confidence or will to even take the risk. I was always afraid of rejection even though I had never experienced it. I feel so foolish for it now but I guess that was all part of me growing as a person. I've always been a loner by choice and I can't really say that I would want it any other way but I can't be certain, I feel too anxious when in crowds and can only socialize with one or two people in a day without feeling exhausted. Isn't it ironic that I still want interactions but can't stand being around people weather it's online or in person? I feel like such a complicated person and don't want to burden others with my issues. This anime truly did help me to better understand myself and words will never express how grateful I am for it. I truly never expected this show to resonate so deeply with such an unassuming title but I'm glad that I found it
Yeah I played it! I love the vn, but for the sake of this video, I kept it anime only so that it would be more accessible to everyone. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting stuff! HxH is one of those things I keep putting on the back burner to check out (there's so much stuff out there!) but I'm very interested in the thematic potential of superhuman abilities/powers in fiction so I'm glad I came across your video. :)
While I do like the ideas presented here, I think some more references would help out this video a lot. Like going over a moment where she causes chaos for the service club and how that chaos leads to Yukino developing in a way Haruno wanted all along. Also since you had a clip of the VN, what do you make of the Haruno route there? I couldn't wrap my head around why she said Hachiman was wasted on Yukino, proceeded to take him for herself, and the implication that she damaged the relationships between the service club trio. I was really confused by her motivations and why she was so attracted to him.
Thanks for commenting! I tried to keep this video strictly anime only to make it easier for people to watch(and I did use an image from the VN but mostly because at the time I was really lazy with how I put videos together and just saved a few pictures off Google), but I didn’t consider the light novel much or VN when writing this video. I’ll say that I’m not a huge fan of the Haruno route in the visual novel, mostly because it just seemed like the opportunity to add another path and because Haruno pursuing Hachiman seemed so drastically out of character. You are correct about Haruno pushing Yukino to develop in a way she wanted, and I didn’t really touch on that specifically. Maybe I should have expanded more, but a lot of the point of this analysis was that Haruno’s quirky antagonization of the Service Club and Yukino were in attempts to shelter Yukino from the lifestyle Haruno detested. In other words, I was trying to say exactly what you said here with less exposition. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
@@9LivesDeepDives no worries about the VN thing, I knew the video wasn't focusing on that, but I just wanted to ask because I really didn't get her mindset with how it was implied she messed up their friendships. I don't think it's impossible for Haruno to take a romantic interest in Hachiman, but the way she was implied to mess up their friendships was really confusing considering her original goals.
Yeah I think the bottom line of Haruno’s character is despite everything, she cares for and wants the best for Yukino. Her pursuing Hachiman romantically is so far from what she seems to want as a character that it’s jarring.
@@9LivesDeepDives That makes sense. At my most generous interpretation there are like 1 or 2 salvageable scenes in that route, but the way they tried to justify it overall doesn't really work.
I mean visual novels are mostly for romance lol. Having a Haruno path isn’t surprising, especially since she’s the attractive older sister of the main love interest. I try not to think of it as canon tbh, even though I love.
Thank you! Sorry I didn’t list them in the description. I believe every OST used is from Oregairu in this video, here is a list of the OSTs I tend to use. I’ll double check the source file when I get home. Oregairu OST - Honne Ienakute Oregairu OST - Yasashii Onnanoko Oregairu OST - Kokoro Surechigau Oregairu Zoku OST - Fugouri na Kanjou
No problem! Hopefully this list has all of them. Glad you enjoyed and I hope you’ll subscribe if you want to see more. Been slacking lately but I’m working on a few videos right now.
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed, hope you’ll subscribe for more content. Been slacking lately but I’ve got another Oregairu video in the works, another Bojack Horseman video, and an Arcane analysis coming too.
I am very sorry u gave a good explanation I could comprehend with most of them but thing that made me confused is when the baking cookies thing happened where they plan it so that the girls could give hayato cookies, while hachiman yui and yukino were happy enjoying cookies, suddenly haruno came and says ‘ is this what you were looking for hikkigayakun ?‘ and then they were all like stopped laughing and all, I don’t get the question haruno asked
There’s a lot to unpack in this scene alone. I’ll do my best to here in the comments. At this point in the story, feelings have begun to develop within the main trio. Hachiman is searching for his “genuine” thing, which will be his romantic relationship with either Yui or Yukino. Yui has fallen for Hachiman twice, first when he saved her dog, and another time after actually getting to know him. Yukino has begun to develop feelings for Hachiman romantically, but her platonic relationship with Yui as well is important to her. They are all aware of this, that their friend group that has been a sanctuary for them could crumble if their feelings are acted on. Haruno basically means that by maintaining this status quo instead of actually acting on their feelings and saying what they truly desire, both Hachiman and Yukino are embodying the falsities they claim to despise in their peers. “Is this what you were looking for, Hikigaya-Kun?” Basically means that this form of their group relationship is not the genuine thing he claimed to desire so strongly because no one there is really saying how they truly feel.
@@9LivesDeepDives omg for years I was unable to understand this due to my stupidity but thank you so much I understand clearly now, I watched a lot of explanation videos to figure out but still they rarely talk about this scene in particular so I really appreciate it man , and again thank you for this lovely video and explanation, and Oregairu was also my favourite anime, I wish you all the best for the upcoming videos!
Best video ever thank you so much for this. However Im having difficulties on understanding what yukino’s sister mean when she was not satisfied by Hachiman’s action… Can you care to explain.
Thank you so much for saying that!!! I have a video on Yukino’s sister on my channel too, if you would like to watch that - I discuss her actions in the series and what they mean thematically. Hope you’ll enjoy that one as well :)
As someone who finds it hard to maintain relationships and feel empathy towards friends/family, I understand how it feels to failing to understand what my place in society is. Jumping from hobby to hobby and hyperfixating on them until i grow tired of it, just to make me feel like life is meaningful. I'm still in this stage and looking for a way to break out of this cycle. i really appreciate this video and the effort it took to turn your feelings into words. thanks for trying to put your own feelings onto paper.
Great video, I'm curious if you have read the manga at all, be it volume zero or the future parts that haven't been adapted yet. As someone who shares the opinion you have in this video, I was wondering if you had seen where Nanami get's taken later on, he has some great moments in the manga that cement him as my favourite character in jjk
Thanks for watching! I am completely caught up on the manga, but I decided to keep this video anime only. All of the Shibuya arc was great, lots of pain lol.
Okay wow that’s really sick. I had never thought of it like that, and the way you described it was genius. Nanami representing the very core of the show makes a lot of sense, particularly because he’s one of the only teachers that was really relatable to me. Great video dude :)
Note for Time Stamp 2:45: I misspoke here, when I refer to Nanami's arc as "anything but flat," my intent was to convey my belief that his character arc is not boring, and that he is an exceptionally dynamic character despite the first impression he might leave.
I'll be honest I was that one person who watched the whole thing and didn't understand most of the subtext of the story I just watched it like any other and I wished I didn't because it was a slap in the face to the author. Luckily after watching many videos explaining the story I understand more and more about what really was going on. I would like to thank you personally because one of the lines that stayed with me was from haruno which was "you can't get drunk", that line was something that stayed with me even to this day and I finally understand why. Thank you!
It’s a very complex series. I won’t pretend I completely grasped everything my first time watching it. Thank you very much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed this and found it informative.
@@9LivesDeepDives I should thank you like I said before that line was something I always had in my mind when watching videos and amv's and you helped me understand the meaning of it. I hope to see more of your informative videos in the future.
