The Adaptation of Oregairu's Confession Scene 

Thank you for posting this Replay! Will you make another Oregairu video perchance?

What's funny is that after this episode people spammed this bridge on Google Maps with 5 Star reviews

I'm gonna miss this anime. Hachiman finally got his genuine. May we all meet ours as well.

Oregairu’s confession scene is probably my favorite confession scene in any show I’ve ever watched.

Sensei change the life of Hachiman, that's the power of good teachers. Without her, Hachiman would still be an antisocial and frustrated person

My most favorite scene out of all scenes out there. Runner up is their "date"

What an absolute banger of a climax this was, one of my favorite anime’s tbh

“I want something genuine” will always be my favorite scene. Oregairu changed my life so much, I’m glad I watched this show

One thing I found interesting about this confession scene is the act of handholding itself (very lewd I know) In S2, after Hachiman “confesses” to Ebina, Yui grabs his sleeve to tell him that he should think more about other people’s feelings and his actions were wrong. After she literally grabs his attention, she lets go. It happens again during the genuine scene, Yui grabs Hachiman’s sleeve to tell him to chase after Yukino. He breaks her grip and says he can walk on his own. Then in S3, after the prom is a success, Hachiman leaves to hear out Haruno, but this time Yukino grabs his sleeve. She wanted to hear what Hachiman was going to say about the club before being interrupted, but Hachiman breaks her grip and continues to Haruno. And finally in the confession scene, Hachiman grabs Yukino’s hand because if he were to let go, they wouldn’t see each other again. Grabbing her hand as opposed to her sleeve is significant in this scene because Hachiman’s actions here cement a proper relationship through a confession. At least that’s how the anime HANDled it. It’s an interesting distinction that the LNs have Hachiman grab her sleeve instead of her hand. I think the act of grabbing their sleeve shows the characters trying to reach out to someone who isn’t willing to accept it. Which is the case for all these scenes, including the bridge scene. In the LN, I think having Hachiman grab the sleeve shows that from his experiences, this is the only way to get a person’s attention in a meaningful way for those in the service club. Although in the bridge scene, Hachiman fully reaches out to Yukino instead of just grabbing her attention. It’s another interesting difference in the anime adaptation as actual handholding shows a great breakthrough visually, it shows that Hachiman is reaching out further to Yukino. The LN on the other HAND, shows that grabbing the sleeve gives characterization to Hachiman and Yukino. It shows that they are still very clumsy when it comes to communicating their feelings, and they come to accept those parts of themselves anyway.

I swear, as much as I love Oregairu, it gets SO freaking complicated and hard to understand sometimes! It's like it was made for the sole purpose of being broken down and analysed in video essays like this one. Still, I can't help but like it and this essay only served to strengthen that notion! Looking forward to the next one! Great work as always!

The whole bridge overtone is such a satisfying setting for this scene. Mensa galaxy brain.

This guy knows how to end a youtube video. No fuss abt subscribe, like and notification bell. But still leaves a deep impression

There’s been a lot of fun discussion surrounding Oregairu, though as usual, yours seems to articulate it best. It’s a bit weird to say, but as analytical as your writing is, it feels optimistic. I love that, and I think that it gives these Oregairu videos a really pleasant tingle to them. Merry Christmas!

God I love those kids. Thank you for this! It's always great to hear your thoughts!

Cant lie, it was worth picking up this series this quarantine, that climax was amazing when I first saw it too.

My favorite scene is when his teacher is saying to marry her “Take me”

Please make more Oregairu videos. I just want to see more people break down this awesome show.

The anime loves making cuts to save time. Save time for yui scenes that is.

That scene was def one of the best confessions in anime

There is so much I feel I can say I love about this show and its characters, but I feel like if I were to start talking, I still wouldn’t be saying enough. There’s so much I feel I could learn each time I come back here, so many different ways I feel I can look at it to find a new angle. I don’t know if I will find another show like this one, cherish the development and nuance of characters like I have here. Great memories, lessons learned.

Yo that's not a confession. That's a FREAKING MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

This can't be possible I just finish watching Oregairu today and right now I'm watching and rewatching videos and analysis of the show and you post a video about Oregairu today, HOW ARE THE ODDS?

I’ve had this video on my Watch List for 2 years

I was waiting for a season 3 video from you, I'm glad you haven't forgotten about the show.

12:09 this part of the anime was incredibly beautiful, and seeing Hachiman take that wisdom with him to the bridge with Yukino was a beautiful move by him. I'm really happy you included this part in this video

"Love" is Simply Inefficient to Convey Love: The Confession

You're definitely underrated. You need more subscriber man

Tbh as a person who waited for 5 years or so for that scene is pretty amazing

About 80% of what makes oregairu so genius its subtext, its nice seeing someone noticing that.

Yui: This could be us Hachiman: **turns to Yukino** so back to what I was saying

Your ending with the title drop gave me the same goosebumps, I experienced back at the episode itself. Amazing video!

Found your first vid about hyouka in my recommended and have been watching since. Love your analysis. Keep up the great work. 🙌

You made me remember such good feelings and good days..

Finally, I’ve been waiting for a video on the third season

You're great Replay, love your analysis (perhaps because our tastes are so similar).

RU-vid didn't recommend this to me. I only found it because I searched for the scene, which is funny because I've rewatched your oregairu videos multiple times. Subbed so I don't miss any more. Also I'll watch any oregairu video you put out and most likely enjoy it too

This is the only channel which is talking about Oregairu.......Thank you so much.....!!!!!

great video. You always clear things up in great detail. Had goosebumps half of that video!

Props and love for putting in so much effort to analyse all the little details. This anime deserves it 100%

Alright, this channel is undervalued. Keep them coming!

Hey Replay, I just wanna say that I’ll always recognize you as the best analytical anime youtuber out there. I can’t express how much these videos have meant to me. I don’t really have a way with words and to see someone have such a fond appreciation for something that I do as well, and to be able to recognize why I’m so fond for series like these, through videos like this one, makes me cry. Thank you for these videos man. I really needed this.

Thanks for making this video. I love this anime and part of the reason for that is discussions that come from it like these videos

A bit long, but I'd like to share my thoughts here as well: What I see here in this episode when I watched this was more of a total recognition of Hachiman and Yukino as "human beings" interwoven from one another, rather than as mere "individuals" having such fictitious relationships (more of a subject-object relation, not directed to them, but to the situation they are into). It is, in the very sense, that both of them understood the weight of their existences in each other, not merely because of needing each other just for the sake of 'saving each other from their own mess', but more of this person has shaped their respective individualities. With the two of them realizing they have the least time left before their high school lives are over, they are scrambling to convey what they should; however, given their respective situations (and being socially inept in expressing their feelings) it turned to be difficult in expressing their genuine selves. Hachiman himself knew that his search for a genuine relationship has come to an end: it just requires him to convey them in a way that he speaks thru his own heart and mind, both in sync. (Even the episode title says it all, "Our feelings are conveyed through only the warmth of our touch" - the anime gave justice to what has been long awaited for the past 8 years: Hachiman and Yukino admitting to themselves that they long for each other's existence, despite the differences) Though the striking difference indeed is present both in the LN and the anime, what makes them unique from each other is that both of them employs the power of imagination through the human creative mind. For the LN, it is the monologues that let us be immersed in the thoughts of Hachiman and Yukino in their respective shoes, mulling over such thoughts in a situation you are having a hard time expressing yourself with. The anime, on the other hand, exercises the aesthetic tendencies to deliver explicitly and implicitly what was found in the source material, whether visual shift, colors or even the camera leveling. All in all, what the three main characters wanted are also the things we wanted: genuine relationships while forming our own identities. In a world wherein everything can be just easily fabricated, we seek those who we consider to be part of our genuine growth in search of our individuality. Though we shape our own paths, we all know to ourselves how others can contribute also to our own growth, and likewise take shape as well in the path that we will take. Replay Value, I really appreciate the fact that you were able to raise the subtext to a level that an ordinary viewer (or reader, if he/she looks in the LN) can understand simply. I admire your work and the passion to give a thoughtful analysis in the episodes, characters and even the whole setup of the show. I'm a university instructor today (I was still a HS student when the first show was aired), and I can say that I always recommend the show to my students because it truly reflects our nature as human beings. I'd recommend as well in the upcoming term your analysis for them to have a good context in understanding the show. Many thanks for your hardwork!

This confession and the confession between Shirogane and Kaguya are my absolute favourite ones ❤️

Your channel Man. Literally like a gem

Best confession i've ever seen ngl

This was a BANGER analysis and I just love hearing the classic intro you always do. I feel like snafu has done what most anime haven't and that's give you the subtext without giving it to you. Through the visuals and the characters action you really paint a picture as to what they're thinking without a line of text saying it for you. I would definetly like to see a video on how visually they express their characters. They use the idea of "show don't tell" perfectly for an adaptation of a VN. Just wanted to show a little appreciation for a fan of your content, thanks as always.

Being waiting for this video. This anime is incredible as your videos are. I have no words for this, so I can just say Amazing!

Great to see your content again. Hope things have improved for you. Oregairu is a great example of doing correctly what a lot of anime gets wrong and hearing analysis on it is so fascinating.

Nowadays to progress at a better pace in anitube you have to put some kind of meme and that overshadows this type of Analytical Anitube! So greats prop to you still sticking to this! It's now rare to see only analysis on anime. Great uploads!!!

It is up! Forgoes the law of equivalent exchange huh, a true philosopher that hachiman. Ima watch it like another seven times cause it has a lot of replay value

I am only a bit into the video but I can already feel the quality man. Keep it up.

Absolutely amazing analysis 👍 Loved the video.

I feel you are the only man who can properly analyze/ interprete oregairu to full Justice. Because of your amazing analyzing ability and hard work this is one of my favorite channels. 🤗🤗

Solid video! always love your content

Actually I´m crying in the middle of a math class at 8:57am in a saturday, some time passes and I don´t believe I was able to cry with this series again, that final line in the video get me everything, "Our feelings are conveyed through only the warmth of our tocuh". Oh God, I need to say thank you for the involved whit this series that made me change a lot as high schooler too,and say thak you to Replay Value, you showed me things that I was not able to notice, that shade of blue from the sky, I will not forget it anymore. Thank you.

The video we'll have been waiting for.

Amazing content

I'm gonna fucking sob you did so well with this bro.

Why is this anime soooooo good??? Definitely my personal favorite anime that I’ve watched

Thank you for this video. Really great stuff. Oregairu will forever be my favorite rom-com anime of all time.

This is the first video I watched of this channel... Good fucking work done man.. subscribe worthy

This is the first video I've seen by you but I really love it so I'm going to subscribe and I hope to enjoy the rest of your videos

amazing break down!!!

This video reminded me that I watched 2 episodes of the new Oregairu season and then fell off due to investing time in other stuff while it was coming out. I'll go finish the series and then come back to this video when I'm done.

The worst part of being a Yui fan is having to admit how much sense Hachi and Yuki make as a couple.

Glad this was uploaded! Always happy to hear your thoughts!

❤️❤️ that was damn good man❤️❤️

i still didn't recovered from the pain that yui have been put through in this last season

Really excellent exposition of this central scene in the story. Actions do speak louder than words. Hachiman never uses the L word, but everything he does here is L. And it clearly touches Yukino. Enjoy your reviews very much. thanks.

I just wish i could think all of this during my english paper

yey yey, i was about to watch the first upload but check and it was private :( but is up again so lets enjoy

I teared up a little while I was watching the video, I'm slowly starting to realize what I've witnessed and what oregairu really means to me. I'm sad that it's over but I'm glad it happened. I'm also convinced that I should in fact read the light novel now because it looks so good.

I'm very interested in a new video about visual style.

I will ALWAYS click on an Oregairu analysis.

yes i love this video an inasne amount good jod oregairu is my favorite anime and people like you help to show why

STOP making me put all your videos in my favorites, eff you, I love your work too much, especially oregairu's, eff you for being a RU-vidr I can always watch, why arent you a book writer earning millions, but yeah, as an anime-only guy, that episode sent me shivers, way more than what i was expecting since I decided to watch that first episode back in 2013, a literal rollercoaster of emotions just the anime alone, BUT YOU! your way of thinking, of dissecting every little detail, of reading between lines, I hate that I am not you to enjoy this series like that, i friggin love your work man, honestly, go write a book, regards, a fan of yours.

I would love to know your opinion of when Yukino says "suki" at the end of the episode. My interpretation of it is that since they're now on the same wavelength they've built up the groundwork of all the little negative things as well as all the positive things and can now compact all that into the single word "suki". But it isn't a generic one, but a genuine one. It's unique to them, built up of things only between them and saying "suki" to anyone else would be built up of different experiences and emotions.

I really want you to make an analysis on Haruno, she's really underrated or in the shadows of Hachiman, Yukino and Yui (they all are great too). She's quite complex as a character, her motives and thoughts are so conflicting like a real person. A very easy top 5 Oregairu character (would be top 3 or 4 considering only the anime). Love her! Zaimokuza, Haruno and Hayama are really underlooked imo, they all are such great characters. Zaimokuza is sadly marginalised in the anime but the LN does some great things with his character.

man ! what a fuckin beaut this anime was! I crave for so much more. I have never been so sad when an anime ended but with oregairu, its different 😭❤❤

Heh just 2 hours ago I was watching some Oregeiru youtuber content and ended on your podcast episode with Subtitled Anime, those vids were all about the first two season and unfortunately as great as the timing of your video now is, I can´t watch it yet because Oregairu is my favourite show and as such I really felt what you guys where talking about on the podcast, it is exhausting watching that content sometimes and the last few months I was just not in the right headspace to give it the watch it deserved (hence why I was trying to get in the mood with some analysis vids of it) so unfortunately I gotta push this watch off until then as well :P

Hope they make a ova about hachiman having a dinner in yukino family.

My fav anituber uploads yaaaaaay

Ouch, I'm so out of the Anime loop anymore I didn't even know there was a season three

I'm still waiting for the Haruno you can't be drunk scene and the Hachiman 2.0 Iroha's take responsibility

Thank you Replay Value! Just found your page and absolutely love your analysis videos!!! I was wondering if there is a meaning behind Hachiman drinking different coffees and how they use it as a symbolism? There are sometimes he pics MAX and sometimes he drinks Black coffee can, I know there is some meaning behind this occurring drink

oh yes, another oregairu video

Keep it up it's a beautifull content ❤️ it👍

Your videos are always an intersection of passion and education for me. I love how you convey your thoughts and, as other comments say, come from a place of positivity. I think specifically because the Oregairu community has been largely negative in it's reception of S3 (I really should stay away from that sub), I haven't allowed myself to enjoy it as much as I should. I'm going to rewatch the series again sometime soon, but one thing is for certain: my love for this series. It's a masterpiece for me and so are you videos. Happy holidays and thank you for sharing with us.

and now we hope to dear god they dont take this down because its oregairu and for some reason any oregairu related vdieo seems to get copyrighted

8man hugged Yukino on the anime and that's enough for me as a light novel reader. They also held hands which is alpha as fuck move by 8 man.

I was like, OMG its happening everyone stay calm

0:32 me! i would find it interesting!

As a novel reader who dislike a lot the season 3 because it's a very bad adaption from my POV (except at some points like the confession scene actually). I really, really loved this video. As usual, you're making a good analysis, pointing all the small details that may seems unimportant but are actually what make this scene so good, and end the video in litteraly the best way possible (Oregairu always hit with the LN chapters of episode titles and I love it). Great thank for the video, I'll be sure to share it on the french Oregairu Discord (need to educate the plebs! :p), really happy to see an analysis of this scene that I love so much. At ~12:20, you're talking about Hiratsuka and how she's an important character that help in Hachiman growth, will you make a video about her ? I'd love it.

In the light novel I think a quote by Haruno that really summarizes alot of who she is when she tells 8man "You become an adult when you give up on certain things." And I hope you do a video on her, anime adaptation or light novel idc which lol

Lets GOOOOO

Looking forward to haruno video

oregairu is just love! great show, great end.

It is not a confession it's a fucking marriage proposal!

God, i love this anime
