My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Season 3 Release Date
In its previous season, this
romantic comedy revolves around an antisocial high school student named
Hikigaya Hachiman with a distorted view on life and no friends or girlfriend.
When he sees his classmates talking excitedly about living their adolescent
lives, he thought they were liars. When he is asked about his future dreams, he
responds, "Not working." A teacher gets Hachiman to join the
"Volunteer Service" club, which happens to have the school's
prettiest girl, Yukinoshita Yukino. OTP OTP OTP! That’s what I thought at
first. They’re so compatibleee.
In another season, what’s exactly
going to happen when Hachiman Hikigaya, an isolated high school student with no
friends, no interest in making any and a belief that everyone else's supposedly
great high school experiences are either delusions or outright lies, is coerced
by a well-meaning faculty member into joining the one member "Services
Club" run by Yukino Yukinoshita, who's smart, attractive and generally
considers everyone in her school to be her complete inferior?
Yahari Ore isn't the first anime to
tackle the anti-social protagonist, but it certainly captures it perfectly with
its characters and deadpan writing. Like others have said before, you may go
into this expecting a typical rom-com but will instead come out of it lashed by
the harsh views of our characters. This however, is why this anime stands out
from so many in the genre. It's charming, funny and yet bluntly realistic. Far
too often rom-coms get stuck in the fairy tale realm of romance stories, or get
too wrapped up in the emotional drama/turmoil that can be present in youthful
romance. Those elements are fine. But what about the bitter, and rejected? Or
those that aren't allowed to fit in, or who choose not to fit in.
Not everyone of course has had this
experience, but it's certainly something that people experience. And so this is
what Yahari Ore does best, it gives us a perspective of those in school who
have been rejected so much, they decide to play by their own rules, and that of
course is excluding everyone else from the game. Afterall, it's much easier to
get on by when you only have yourself to rely on.
Yahari Ore is an example of why
comedy is such a great asset to art. Comedy allows us to look at aspects of
life that aren't always good and allows us to examine the darker aspect of our
humanity, and laugh while also getting a better understanding of it. Yes, this
is a comedy that is for the most part, snarky, sarcastic and deadpan. But it's
also a very interesting perspective on how we treat other people, and how those
that don't fit in, (or those that choose not to play the game and try to fit
in), deal with a world that heavily relies on being social.
A third
season? Why, not? There are still tons of materials to cover for a season 3,
also the original light novel is still on going, so hopes are high for a third
season. Not a problem in my opinion for My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU.
