>Duuude, the ending is that you just have to step up and be a normie and suddenly like social interactions and stuff! Also have sex and make babies!
/a/ really thought this dude was Batman.

>>283372729 (OP)
this was fucking bullshit

>>283372729 (OP)
the show is over 10 years old now. you should've done some growing up in that time.

Never understood the following this shit had

>>283372791
>Constantly buts into a blossoming romance between her only true friends
>Has to be rejected multiple times
>IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S BULLSHIT!!
You know there's a certain level of delusion that comes with all side girl fags but yui fags managed to bring to truly amazing levels of retardation.

>>283373841
It's written as an incel revenge fantasy

>fans of the series enjoyed it, discussed it with /a/, and moved on
>haters continue making threads to this day, seething by themselves
It has to be genuine autism. There's no other explanation for such weird fixation. Most people just drop series they don't like.

is there any story where the romance actually feels earned and not just shoehorned in?

Hachiman got his 10/10 autistic wife while doing 0 self-improvement, except for crying about "muh genuine", which would've given any woman the ick. why does he get rewarded with love from multiple women when he doesn't change at all? it's unfair

>>283375912
I mean sure, there are plenty of romance where the romance is earned, this just wasn't it.

She was the best girl though

>>283375924
Name all of them

I'm forever glad that I grew up with yahari instead of kanokari

>>283372729 (OP)
>You have to stop your incel ways to find happiness
We know why you hate it, anon.

>>283375912
in the grand scope of things you have to actively search for stories with this kind of scenario and this kind of MC, even in the direct inspiration for this story and that ahoge MC is in a committed relationship with the girl from the first arc and every other subsequent girl works as a character foil to reinforce their romance

>>283373841
It was genuinely good until WW got sick of it and turned into a generic love triangle romance.

>>283376012
I would say I'm glad I didn't "grow up" with japanese love comedies of either kind, but then again what I did watch wasn't that helpful either

>>283375912
thinking that romance is something that needs to be "earned" is cuck mentality. it implies that the girl only likes you because you did something for her. no one ever asks what the girl did to earn a guy. it's just assumed that they have inherent value that men have to pay for by simping. fuck that.

>>283375912
so let me translate
you're looking for recommendations for anime that feature a protagonist that works out and gets chicks

solo leveling
it's complete trash, you'll love it

>>283375912
more like all those girls that are attracted to Hachiman especially Yukino sees value towards Hachiman unlike the rest of shallow girls in the show

>>283375912
>unfair
This is the people arguing with you about romantic dynamics are like. Completely binary bots working on the assumption of "if x, then y", never being able to comprehend a relationship as anything other than transcational

I still have no idea how this series got so big or Hachiman so popular aside from being the ultimate failson dead-fish eyed hikki stereotype who never really changes at all and is presented as okay for it.

>>283375912
>YuckyNO

Roru. Rumao even.

>>283372729 (OP)
He got away with his bullshit because he's handsome.

>>283374208
The anime increased the focus in Yui a lot so animeonlies just fell for the bait, the LN made it clear 8man was only ever interested in Yukino

>>283372791
Why was she even in this story, waste of everyone's time really

>>283372791
I would've put a baby in both, but I'm just heterosexual like that.

>>283375892
The message of the story is to stop being a bitter asshole fetishizing you own social awkwardness as being somewhat better than everyone else, take a guess what kind of people would end up hating this story

>>283375975
Komachi's komachis!

Welcome to reality.

>>283375912
>0 self-improvement
I thought sensei repeating his opening monologue to him and him cringing hard at it was clear enough but I guess I was wrong

>>283375912
Hachiman is literally Yukino's type even Yukino prefers plushies(Pan-san) with the same eyes as Hachiman

>>283376433
you clearly don't understand women. For them, every relationship is a give and take. This is well studied psychology. You have to check boxes to be acceptable to them. This is not how men work, they accept a woman wholly, faults and all, and the only requirement they need, the only checkbox, is that she like them.

Sensei was not taken care of
It was a lie

>>283375912
>validate my “self improoooov” mental illness

>>283375892
It's a shame because I just saw it relatively recently and would love to talk about it but nearly every thread for older popular series starts off completely poisoned like this and is unusable.

>>283375912
>hachiman didn't improve or change
>yukino is perfect
>ick
This has to be bait, not even the speediest of speed watches or most media illiterate brainlets could be this retarded.

>>283377108
Man the anime really was a piece, wasn't it?

>>283377144
>>283377199
anime romance isn't supposed to be realistic, it's a fantasy where women have a soul and are capable of feeling love

>>283377586
You'd do the same for your waifu if you had the chance

Ive been fapping to iroha weekly for a decade

>>283372729 (OP)
The real ending is the gay route with Saika in the VN

>>283377108
sort of reminds me of how the anime elevated hina in blue box way beyond how she is portrayed in the manga, so there are way more hina supporters than there should be.

>>283377108
Don't forget that last OVA which made it seem like it's a return to status quo, whereas the source material focused on Yukino and getting to know her family.

This is the REAL ending

>>283376433
every single romcom has the main character get the girls because he is "nice". That's literally it.
It's like white album 2, what the fuck is he the only guy that was nice???
And the same thing is retarded when it happens in reverse, girl is liked because she is nice unlike the other girls.
It's anime that tries to give a reason to love, when usually there is none, and if there was, it shouldn't be just, oh this person was kind of nice to me today.

>>283372729 (OP)
Batman also went and got himself a bat family.

>>283378009
This doesnt work when ONLY the guy is nice to them. Kazusa and Yukino were pretty much social outcasts so it'd be a given they latch on to the first guy that showed a modicum of attention

>>283378115
Yukino and 8man meeting was no accident.

Sensei's intention from the very start was to lock them in a room together until they started fucking. And everyone else got on board with that plan too. Haruno, Komachi, and even Yui at the end were all working behind the scenes to make it happen.

>>283377144

Now I get why some people say that all het romances are male power fantasies. Because they are.

any news about sequel? something something past high school?

babby's first autist owns popular kids epic style

>>283379272
My attempt to raise a dozen children for the sake of strengthening Japan's future turned out to be wrong, as expected.

Hachiman is a burnt out cheating salaryman.

>>283375912
This is exactly why Onani Master Kurosawa is 10 million times better.

>>283372729 (OP)
It shows even the biggest cynic thinks you should get married and have children. What's stopping you?

>>283372729 (OP)
>i break down in tears when a cashier suddenly talks to me and thats ok, its the normies who are wrong

>>283373841
Losers literally (me) type of MCs werent that common back then, a lot of edgy teens loved hachiman, watamote popularity here was similar.

>>283379365
That's what you think is the biggest cynic? Lol. Lmao even. The cynic level has powercrept long ago.

>>283372729 (OP)
I only liked season 1 of this, the next 2 just went full on dunning kruger word salad

>>283381657
>dunning kruger word salad
Hilarious you say that when you have no understanding of what the dunning kruger effect actually is.

>>283382227
I do though, and it fits here
s2 & 3 is full of the kind of stuff those atop mt.stupid would say

>>283382317
Dunning Kruger isn't just about being stupid, moron. You are literally a living example of it in your improper usage of it.

>>283382386
nowhere did I say it's just about being stupid, that's something you added in there yourself
it's peak of mt.stupid since all they do for s2 & 3 is speak in long run on sentences that the writers think is deep and profound but it's really not saying much. S1 had this, but it was to a lesser degree and was still enjoyable overall
it's not stupid, just insufferable midwittery

>>283382509
They are pseudo intellectual teenagers that aren't as smart as they think they are. It's annoying, but it is honestly good writing in capturing what people like that are like.

>>283372791
You can see the moment her heart rips in 2

>>283372791
It's all right, 8man is marrying into money. If he performs well and demonstrates that he's worthy to have been accepted into the corporate aristocracy, I'm sure Yukino will consider it only normal that he should have a concubine or two, befitting his status. Yui can still taste the 8dick at least, even if she isn't the wife.

>>283372791
she did nothing wrong

>>283376575
he doesnt do anything with any of them

>>283383143
He should fuck the sister too
no, not his sister.

>>283372729 (OP)
>the ending is that you just have to step up and be a normie
>>283375912
>he doesn't change at all
I don't get it. Some people say that 8man became a normalfag, while you say that he didn’t change at all. So, which is it?

>>283383627
Don't think too hard about it, people are just upset their girl lost.

She won

>>283377749
I'd like to think I wouldn't be quite so overt to the expense of the entire production. There's a world of difference between ensuring my girl gets a decent bit of screen time and "Yui should have access to a time machine."

>>283378009
I don't think I'd really mind so much if their definition of "nice" was essentially just "cordial" at best. Like general politeness. There's a massive difference between being "nice" and showing genuine "kindness" which is usually a bit more out of one's way because the MC is also usually some lazy feckless pud without an ounce of proactiveness to him.

>>283372729 (OP)
>finishes high school
>stops being retarded
Many such cases.

>>283378009
>And the same thing is retarded when it happens in reverse, girl is liked because she is nice unlike the other girls.
it's not retarded yahari even has 8man rant about how people will fall for a girl just because she was friendly even though she's like that to everyone

>>283372729 (OP)
Yugami is still undefeated

Very based and deserved.

>>283375987
Does buying a slave girl and marrying her in another world count?

I still don't buy that Yukino was in love with 8man. Yes, I am a Yuifag but it still came as a bit of a twist to me.

>>283386229
That's because you're retarded

>>283375912
Someone show this anon the pic about self-improvement blackpill with the footballer chad and the cheerleader stacy.

So, men?

>OP shits on the series because Hachiman steps up and becomes a normie
>most youd post shits on the series because Hachiman didn't change at all
so which is it?
looks to me one of you faggots is a speedwatcher

>>283385607
If even Yugami stood no chance against mangapussy, what chance have I?

>>283386842
The most you'd post wanted 8man to do something external for yukino's affection like get money, a job, an outwards achievement basically, nothing about just forming a real connection with her. Meanwhile the OP says he's betraying his original themes of being a fucking self pitying loser. Yukino already liked him from the start because of his eyes and he was just too autistic to reciprocate until everyone else was pushing them to stop being so afraid of being vulnerable with each other

SAIKA FOREVER

The entire plot of dune (the books ignore the DUNC movies) is kicked off by a woman genuinely loving her husband and forsaking thousands of years of her evil space witch cult's autistic planning for world domination by choosing to give her husband a son as his firstborn heir so he can inherit their house instead of a daughter to marry off for a eugenics scheme.

If you mean anime/manga specifically then go watch SukaSuka to see the happiest girl in the world

It was a hard-fought battle. The Tanuki is not to be underestimated.

>Welcome to reality
bro, in reality women will bend over backwards like a fucking slave for a man they're genuinely attracted to and love. They'll work themselves like a dog and willingly do the most filthy and degrading shit with a smile on their face; if you feel like it's a constant effort and labor to "earn" affection and love instead of coming naturally you need to re-evaluate your life and relationships.

If you need to do the twelve labors of hercules to earn a crumb of pussy that's just a prostitute with extra steps, it's not love or attraction

>>283389901

>>283385607

yes, as an acquaintance. He lived up to his words

So did Iroha ever actually like 8man or was only using him to get Chad

>>283395668
The season 2 artstyle is used for almost all the merchandise, obviously most people prefer it.

The canon ending and route are the Saika Totsuka love route. Best girl is always a boy. No exceptions.

>>283383218

Except for letting 8man become an outcast instead of talking to him, thanks him for saving her dog and confess to him before he even got the chance to know Yukino existed
