Something people need to remember is that, from the time Hachiman saved Yui's dog till this moment, it's been more than a year. For more than a year, since the start of school until the moment she goes into the service club, she seemingly has never spoken to Hachiman. From what we can tell, Hachiman is the weird guy in the class that no one talks to, with Kawasaki being the other one, and Yui is the kind of person that never breaks the status quo and goes against social "rules". You can really see how this perspective really feeds into Hachiman's decision to break things off and thinking that she is just being nice/feels pity for him.

Why I think for Yukino is healthier choice for Hachiman at this point of the story is because he think that Yukino never sugarcoating her word, and the exact opposite of what he think what a nice girl is. When Yukino making fun of Hachiman, what he heard is not she maliciously badmouthing him but seeing him in the same level he seeing himself or who think who he is. So when talking to Yukino Hachiman never have self doubt about his own identity. Yui is way more painful for Hachiman right now because he knew she is a people pleaser and what she did to him even it feel good at the surface it will always give him a self-doubt. And slowly would hurt him in the long run. Hachiman right now in the story is not the person who can take kindness from people who he saw not being truthful. That is why he more comfortable talking to Sensei or Yukino because they always pointed what his flaws are. With the way Hachiman right now it just really painful for him to dealing with a person that seemingly a social Butterfly like Yui and Hayama(the handsome guy) .

just saw episode six can we talk about her sister though?👀👀 close to two hour analysis of episode 6 coming soon

I love how hachimans logic here is full of falacies, but they sound completely logical when said. "If the truth is a harsh mistress, lies must be a nice gkrl, there fore kindness is a lie" immediately asumes the oposite aplies which is a falacy, bur it sounds so true

Now we get to the episode where we kinda see the vestiges of how deep hachiman’s trauma actually runs. Remember that bet they had at the start about which person can help the most people or something as part of the service club? That bet is still on. The “first” time hachiman helps someone( rescuing the dog ) he gets physically hurt and broken emotionally due to isolation. Imagine what he does to help people in the future.

Still one of my more favorite episodes of this series. It also shows just how far 8man has fallen into putting forth this persona of the edgy lone wolf and desperately trying to buy into it himself as a way of protecting himself

When watching this show for the first time in middle school, I remember feeling really seen, during scenes of 8man explaining his views on relationships, like the one at the end of the episode. It took me until rewatch at beginning of my collage and context of further events to understand how sad and distorted those views are.

Hachiman is the most relatable character for me. Because I also have same problem as of him. I am afraid of getting hurt and hate nice people because I think they are just nice because they are pitying on me.

There are several reasons that saika ranks so highly on character tier lists for this show he never tries to lie he says what he means and is nice because he's nice not for any other reasons

Man, the edits are killing me 😂. Editors are stepping it up each episode! XD

This episode will always hit hard for me man. For more than 10 years this was my EXACT mentality, i just couldn't accept that people could possibly like me in any way shape or form, it made no sense to me and it cost me opportunities, friendships and more. Great discussion, i have a big attachment to this show due to the topics it handles and you're legit the perfect person to talk about these in depth!

2 Oregairu episodes so close to each other AND ep 6 in the making? We are eating good! The uber story was absolutely hilarious (and kinda inspiring). Ed out here changing random people's lives. Math equation was also top notch! Editor is on point as always! ❤❤

Another one so quickly! The show is just getting started it's only gonna get more peak as we keep going, Ed!

i really needed to hear that "relapse is normal" as ive fallen into a relapse lately after a lot of progress. thank you

I feel blessed with all this Oregairu content lately.

Sick analysis. Love your take on this series. As you have mentioned, it's a very character driven show that appears to be very real, at least feels like it. Even though I have seen everything, I'm sure a bunch of stuff went over my head. So can't wait to have more videos explaning what I've missed lol

32:20 Brooo! The uber story caught me emotionally in many layers across different levels of consciousness and awareness of my current self somehow...

Ohhh next episode the monster is gonna show herself. It will be a joy ride for you 😂😂😂 she is a real piece of work.

Third time I comment on this series and it's only episode 5. Oregairu really is a nostalgic anime for me as it was one of the first ones I watched when I got into the medium during high school. I can only speak for myself but I liked Yukino and by extension her ship more than Yui for relatively simple reasons back then. I simply found her more attractive both visually but also personality-wise. I never was one for the bubbly extraverted girls and even less so back then. Not too surprising, considering that the girl I was in love with at the time was in some aspects quite similar. Rather introverted, reserved, seen as ice-cold by others, at least somewhat similar physique, etc. Though I outperformed her academically. The show felt somewhat like a very exaggerated mirror at the time. That aside I'm really looking forward to your assessment regarding some future characters and how you'll evaluate the result of the show itself.

Your videos/streams really need to reach more people. Not only with this show, almost all of your videos have that gravity that pulls viewers once you started cooking. I've been a silent watcher and follower since this channel's first ever video, but I just joined the discord last year, half of the reason was because Oregairu finally made it in the polls.

Thanks 🥹🥹🥹

The editor is fucking incredible. Great job green_peas! Made me choke on my water a few times.

I need more Oregairu 🔥🖖🖖

I always love the title drops at the end of each episode. Sometimes they can be a bit cryptic, but, like in this episode, it really captures the theme of the episode.

Thanks for yet another entertaining analysis. I hope you can stay mostly spoiler-free on your journey and continue to enjoy it.

Yeaaah baby, Ed's finally getting into the meat of this anime! Feel bad to be two months late, gotta catch up

The last part of this episode is so depressing, both from Hachiman's perspective and from us watchers 😅

Im fcking enjoying watching this and see you engaging with your audience. I forgot how good was oregairu. Thanks ed Also can you addd Hibike euphonium to your next list it has that emotional and psychology stuff you might like it as well

The vote was not unfair because their pov is based on completed series (they've seen all three seasons), not from the first five episodes.

Granted, I don't have the most experience with people, but with what experience I do have, I have to agree with Hachiman here. When someone is nice to everyone, they're either completely genuine or fake as hell, with no in between. And it's the one's who are fake that completely break any trust a person can have for another. I'm much more trusting of a person who is blunt, or hell, even an asshole because at least they won't lie just to avoid conflict or go behind your back and say mean shit.

As they are now, it might be hard to see how certain things could play out but, this show has some pretty dynamic character growth arcs through its 3 seasons. That’s all I will say, till we are further in. Trying to stay vague

If you consider the timeline of this events you can slightly justify hachiman thinking he's being pitied The accident happened in their 1st year, while the current events is in their second year

New episode so quick 👀✨ also what an ending in this episode !!

How dare you note giving +5 to Yuki for the "Nya" scene! Jokes aside it's still really interesting and enjoyable to watch you appreciating and enjoying the anime while analysing it. I hope you liked ep 6 too but given what we have in it I doesn't fear too much, the anime more or less finish the exposition at that point and we have a really enjoyable moment in this one.

37:30 And reaction of the year goes to Psyculturists! Bravo! When i was watching this anime 8 years ago i got something similar. BTW Teacher still best girl! XD

like ur analysis

u and oregairu are the perfect combination

Hachiman probably knows the self-doubting thoughts like the "nice girl" speech is wrong but cant help but accept it as fact during emotional moments, thats probably why he started to open up in the first place. Once he is able to justify those self-doubt thoughts he goes full relapse, sub consciously always looking for a way to piece together the worst case scenarios first. he kinda reminds me of ishigami. Im excited to see more of this show and your thoughts on it.

I can’t wait for you to see the real person who pushes Hachimans and Yukinos relationship, my goat

Question. How much of Hachiman’s yapping do you think is factual? (You can answer in relation to this episode or just in general, like givin a percent)

Current yui /yukino is very bad ship for 8man since is barely has any understanding/closeness with them. Btw the peak is yet to come for hachiman and you will get to know more things about him, may be the shipping at the end of season would be better. And i am sure you will have so much analysis to make, you may need help from light novel readers.

If you like relationships based on false expectations and lies, you will love yui ship. Unfortunately the anime was bad at explaining this especially in season 3, the relationship between Yui and 8man will never work and will always be lies, not being straightforward and lying might be a good thing to not hurt each other but it's not something Hachiman is looking for. Btw I'm not talking about this episode, I think Hachiman was the wrong one here, but I'm talking about the whole story, although I'm not sure you'll realize that unless you read the light novel with their internal monologues. There are many reasons why the oregairu community who read the light novels really hate Yui
