My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (2013/2015, Brain's Base/Feel)

申し訳ありませんが、この記事は和訳がございません。

Hachiman Hikigaya is a loner who has decided to distant himself from people by being depressing and self-deprecating, particularly girls since the day he was rejected. When his teacher finds his essay about his high school life full of contempt, she decides to send him to the "Service Club" where he meets Yukino Yukinoshita, a top class pupil who runs the club aiming to make society a better place by helping people. However, she too is quite a loner too because of how jealous other girls are of her and how overly outspoken, quick to criticise she is. The two don't get along so the teacher suggests they compete to see who can benefit the club most while hoping they will gradually change to fit into society.

I think the first season had the better background art. The second season does a better job rendering the overall scenes including the characters thanks to the diffused lighting effect they use. Shadows and outlines just look softer like they should be and blend in more naturally. On the other hand, it's got a nice OST selection.

This show is quite dialogue heavy which is kind of expected since it's based on a light novel. Some regard it as as the next entry in the "bitter love comedy" genre that Haganai started. It also matches its title, a fun romance comedy. Apart from Yui who's your typical clueless, clumsy Anime girl, both Hikigaya and Yukinoshita both have an interesting personality that drives the show. One looks like your typical "o-jou-sama" character, a rich wealthy snobby young lady who isn't far from the truth about Yukino except, she criticises everyone to the tiniest detail and no one can fight back. On the other hand, Hiki is a extremely depressing and pessimestic person as I mentioned above but he's actually so proud about it it doesn't bother him at all. Sometimes it actually lets him see things from a perspective that the intelligent Yukino can't.

I thought the wrap-up wasn't that great but I guess it's the way most multi-romance plots go. It's entertaining just watching Yukino and Hiki outwit each other or mercilessly throwing insults around throughout the show. There is some drama and slice-of-life you could probably relate to (particularly in the second season) but it's mostly comedy and yes, romance. There's the odd fan service like your usual swimsuit episode but not enough to ruin the show. Just don't bother with the first OVA which is really just fan service oriented. Ya'hello!
