Yahallo! I hope y'all have been doing well and properly taking care of yourselves.
In this video essay, we will be examining the psychological state of Hikigaya Hachiman throughout My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. We cover why Hachiman's surroundings led him to become a cynical and unsociable loner, what cognitive processes he was experiencing that prevented him from opening up to others, and what exactly changed Hachiman throughout the series. Furthermore, we will be covering these various topics: social competition, social hierarchies, impressions, defense mechanisms, identity, vulnerability, and intimacy. I hope you learn a lot and enjoy the video. Thank you!

A 40 minutes video essay about why we need Hiratsuka Sensei in our life.
I agree, she's precious❤❤❤
@@weird3604 i also agree (+1)
this might possibly be the best oregairu video essay I've watched (and I watch a lot of it), if you can upload more videos with this quality I bet you can make it big
thank you, i'll do my best :-)
@@IntuitionVE we’re eating bro , half way thru s2 and just finished watching this , amazing video bro💯
@@IntuitionVE Did you experience the same things or are you a psychology student ?
Oregairu always hit different for me since i'm basically hachiman. I didn't get the romantic arc tho. So yeah i can only congratulate you for this video, this sums it up perfectly.
When you've reached the bottom pit of loneliness you obtain the ability to see through anyone. It's really cool to being able to understand people easily, but idk if it's worth it.
Being alone is the worst suffering, even if it bulds up your mental fortitude having to go through an existential crisis and the need to disappear is hard.
To anyone reading this : if you have people in your surroundings that tends to be like hachiman please interact with them, even just saying hello is a big thing for loners.
We're probably the most genuine people out there too, so you'll probably build a strong relationship with us, weither it's romantic or a simple friendship.
But don't wait for them to be so deep into those negative feelings because we're not all the same when we start questioning why we're alive, our worth in the world, going through every bad moments/regrets in our life and trying to find positive out of it to move on. People can go through a lot like me, people can give up and choose death right away ...
I'm not asking you to save everyone, i'm just saying that "wasting" 30 seconds of your life saying hello can save a life. ♥
ps : English is not my first language, so you can reformulate the parts you don't get, it's not hard to understand anyway. The hardest part is putting yourself in the other guy shoes.
@@csblucas why did you watch this before finishing the series and spoil yourself 💀
@@shubhamghoshal2939 I’ve seen most of it on tiktok and elsewhere anyway
Hachiman is true to his word. he really "hated" nice girls. Yukino, a not nice girl would openly criticize and sometimes harshly disagree with Hachiman's damaging actions without pulling any punches. She was mostly genuine to hachiman from the start the exact thing he wished in ep8 season 2 if i am correct. While Yui failed to openly be genuine to Hachiman particularly regarding to the latter's unhealthy social actions, afraid to lose him if she ever overstep. If Hachiman is incorrigible, he would 100% choose Yui but he is not a incorrigible person. Very far from it. Hachiman chose the one who would correct him when he is wrong, who would not be afraid to speak her mind, someone who deeply cares for Hachiman that she'd rather risk her relationship with him if that is what it takes for him to change to a better person. Yui is definitely the best girl of the anime and the general public/average person, but Yukino is the best girl for Hachiman. The OVA will drop in few months guys!!
Damn
Legit. If Hachiman was shallow, season 1 would end with Hachiman being with Yui. Good thing that didn't happen
ive been looking for the exact release date of the Ova, where did you know about this?
@@xdboygamerzxdboygamerz7467 czcams.com/video/8QZysYUJe6w/video.html
i believe this is the trailer, but i saw some other versions that contain the novel extra chapter spoilers
I find Jukino to be the best girl generally too.
There are a lot of "Explain Oregairu" videos out there, but your unique mix of explanation and scientific research together with a clear structure makes this the best one I've had the privilege of seeing. Thanks so much.
thank you so much! i'm glad you enjoyed it
@@IntuitionVE u did great but there is a big factor left out in all these guys never have a safety net people " should help girls" and the right to fill this ways in on more then one point in his life and how he is allowed to live
How the season 1 opening plays right after "I love you, Hikigaya" always gives me the goosebumps. Great video.
Evolutionary biologist here, wanted to add a note:
The science presented in this video is definitely the basis of Hachiman's philosophy and presented as true by the author, so it makes sense to discuss in the context of this video. HOWEVER, explaining modern human behavior in terms of evolutionary drivers ranges from incomplete to outright pseudoscience depending on who you ask.
Most notably for the context of this video, the depiction of hierarchies as discussed here as "natural" is very debatable, and often used to justify not changing them. For instance many human societies have no de facto leader, and instead call on different members to lead in different situations depending on who knows the most. When we look to non-human animals, dominance structures aren't all that common. It requires a pretty complex brain to keep track of who is over whom, recognize a leader and understand their intentions, etc.
All of that is to say that the science presented here does a good job at describing how the society Hachiman is in is cutting structured, but does a poor job of describing why that structure exists. Within the fiction of the show those drivers are at play and so this is worth discussing, but viewers should think of it more like a philosophy or life motto than scientific fact.
Disclaimer, I work on things not closely related to humans so this isn't direct expert opinion, but this is what I've gathered from colleagues who are experts.
Thank you for your insight!
This is so criminally underrated, it's such an in depth analysis I wish I could share with everyone who has seen this anime. I truly wish for you continue with these and know how much this means to us. Thank you if you see this
"is your feelings that simple to be described in just a single word?"
- Hiratsukai sensei, S3 Ep 10
That word stuck on my head the most when watching this anime, i always has a feeling in my head that for some reason cant be described, i was told that there is no such thing and if you dont know the feeling how can you fix it. But this quote is like telling me that having this feeling is normal for a human being and we shouldn't rush for an answer.
also, the anime didn't really include all that, but his fake confession to ebina actually had a heavier impact on his reputation. the next episode begins when things have withered down a little, but people still remember and talk about what he did.
This guy wakes up, produces the best Oregairu video I've ever listened to. And then dips lol. Incredible work, what an inspiration.
This series is a beast to unwrap. Keep up the amazing work!
thank you so much!
Ok that end gave me goosebumps. I always had problems in being able to cry over things my mind wanted to cry over rather than my heart but this video actually made me shed a tear.
I always wanted to know what did she meant by being "drunk"... But i never got that answer. After I watched this and finally got it I felt so relieved for some reason cause it was very confusing.
There are also several other answers i got and it... just feels so god damn good to finally know them.
While i have already watched oregairu 3 times I had never got these answers so i thank you from the bottom of my heart.
i know what you mean. i had that same issue with toradora but after watching videos about it like this one, i understood everything so well and it was a really good feeling
This show really resonates with me because I can completely get hachimon . I have most of the feelings he had throughout the show and even now I have a lot of those . The nice girls and youth quotes he says are especially true and I do generally believe before he found love everything he said is 100 percent true . I also believe in the words of kiyotaka on his quote of about the great lie known as equality. It's a lie people say to make up for what they lack . Because it's much easier to tell everyone it's not me it's because of one reason or another . Humans are born equal that is true however the second after that stops . Be it our natural talents are hard work or society or even how we dress . However when someone is failing they cry and say everyone should be equal but as kiyotaka says that impossible and it's why equality is the biggest lie.
Although I am 6months late to the party, I just must say it. What a truly amazing essay on a truly amazing anime. I rarely can pull through watching video essays in their entirety, but this one had me glued to my screen all the way through. Once again, really good job. That is a subscribe for me.
insane vid man loved it and all the connections to journals
Dude! Really good video! Keep making more of this style!
love the breakdowns, you should make more videos like this!
Best analysis i have seen in a while. Hope you make more
I can see passion put into this video is overwhelming i appreciate the dedication put into this
This is an extremely good video essay, excellent and meticulous work overall, actually rekindles my love for the series.
very well structured and articulate , thanks
THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
This made a lot of sense and it felt very cohesive. Good job loved the analysis.
He believes in kindness 😊
Dont forget how kind totsuka was in whole series 😂
Stellar video, great seeing a video essay like this use actual psychological studies and research. Massive props.
Haven't seen such an amazing analysis in a long time...
Good work!
I didn't even worry about the time your video ended, I was amazed with every breakdown!
Incredibly well made and on point. This is hands down the best anime video essay I've ever seen.
All I can say is amazing, your video provided me many new knowledge regarding how human emotions work and explain many things about the anime that I could never understand. Appreciate the efforts you put into the video.
Five months late, I see this masterpiece, what a great work of understanding this anime
It made me learn even more about the background work put on SNAFU
This video is always on the top of next video, and on my recommended.
And I'm not mad about it 😄
This anime made me cry so much, it gave me a lot of sadness and happiness at the same time. Thanks for the video
One of the most insightfull and inspiring video essays I`ve seen for a long time. I myself had a similar for a Hachiman path long time ago so it was very valuable for me to see everything i understood from my own life experience in clear and systemised approach. This is also one my most favorite anime`s so far and seeing such a deep analytics of it, backed-up with the scientific reasoning and approach makes me feel happy and wanting to move forward in life. Though many years of life experiencing and deep reflection on my past had passed, i still found some stuff to learn as a person. Thank`s for your work - it made my day much better!
Lovely essay, i really appreciate it
I’ve watched a few videos and such on Hachiman, but yours is the best. The psychology references were particularly interesting, especially for someone like myself, who sympathizes with Hachiman. Thank you.
Severely underrated video. Excellent research and analysis.
An impressively well researched and well studied essay on social dynamics.
your voice is so soothing man underrated
I've seen a lot video essays about oregairu, but you video is the deepest and the most explained. Only god knows how many efforts it takes to do this essay! Don't stop making videos and you became the big influencer in anime youtube. Thank you very much for this essay, i will also see another your videos!
this really helped me understand the show more, often times I would find conversations confusing.
One of the best oregairu video analysis ever made, congratulations mate
The reason I so love this show is because humans want to see each other do well. So seeing someone like Hačiman I see someone who needed help like I did and watching the show I feel happy to see he got what I never did.
This is one of the most well made video essays I've ever seen yet.😊 this probably took a lot of hardwork and love for the series to make. congratulations you earned a subscriber.
Thank you for taking the time to analyze this series that I loved and could never quite understand since I watched it a few years ago. I watched it about 3 times but always had a question as to why the trio behaved the way they do and also certain phrases they said that I could never quite understand (like the concept of being drunk). Keep making great videos and thanks a lot.
this is one of the most dedicated video I've ever seen about Oregairu, extreme well done bro :3
we can feel the hard work behind This video essay. Probably the best out there. keep up the good job!
This is a personal favourite of mine, easily the deepest and most enjoyable anime I've ever seen. This video was very constructive and you explained Hachiman very well, showing how someone, no matter how stubborn can change, enjoyed this a lot! Subbed too! :)
I have no idea how I came across this video and I don’t really care, dude you did amazing from the script to just explaining everything I know it would of taken multiple recordings of some sections and it still feels amazing and so well done and so in depth as a random on the internet you have done a amazing job documenting all this keep up the amazing work and hope life is good❤❤
Wow I just learned about your channel. Psychology through anime?! It's a dream come true for me! Please keep posting videos, you're amazing! OREGAIRU is my top 3 anime of all time.
Thanks for this video, I knew Oregairu was way more deep than what I could get hold of, I'm sure you've done tons of research for this and spent a lot of time on it and I really really appreciate it.
i was trying to forget this anime in order to rewatch it for the masterpiece it is but considering how well made this video is i couldnt resist not completing it
I'm highly rated your effort to make this video although there was not many people had seen
Wonderful work. Good job man.
Goddam what a great breakdown of the series. Such a well done video essay!
I know I'm late, but what a great analysis and video essay! I hope you get big, especially with your editing.
Amazing content ❤
I got hooked on this video. This was amazing, and I just felt awe at the end that I just had to sit in.
I love the topic of socially outcasted, anxious or awkward people. I just cannot fathom that anyone does not want friends, genuine bonds, except for antisocial people of course. There's something just holds them back.
This video is just more reason to keep trying. That hill that I can't seem to cross, will only be easier after I look what's over it. It just sucks that I can't physically see it, and maybe it's not as steep as expected, or that I'm scared of how much there is in order to get to it.
when i watched this anime, it was very..... coincidental? it was at a perfect time in my life, where i felt an intense connection to hachiman as a character. this anime will always stick with me because of that. amazing video essay, subbed
This was like sooo gooooddd man... Like seriously brilliant 💯💯💯
Damn this is well written essay video!
Great work
The scientific research combined with your way of explaining it was really nice

Here before this guy become big fr tho he earns it he helps explain so much
Great Video! Thank you.
Your video is so good 🔥
This is Peak Oregairu Essay Period. But i can say this one is so hard to dethroned, man thanks for your works of art
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting this much of an exceptional video considering how little views and subscribers you have. It somehow made me appreciate one of my favourite anime even more. I used to relate a lot to Hachiman. I need to do some self reflection, now that I understand Hachiman's psyche that much more.
I'll definitely be checking out your previous videos, and eagerly waiting any future anime you tackle, if you decide to continue making videos.
An interesting part about Oregairu to me is Hachiman's white haired nerdy friend. He's definitely had similar experiences with ostracism and bullying as both Hachiman and Yukino had, yet he seems to have responded to them in an entirely different way. Why is that? Furthermore, if Hachiman wasn't lucky enough to have Hiratsuka, I wonder what would have happened to both him and Yukino.
Man u are great I watched oregairu like 4 times but never thought so deeply about it ..u earned a subscriber today ❤
Now this is high quality content m8, good work! :D
Damn, this Is the most detailed explanation of this anime...
Anyway, you just gained new subscriber because of this.....
Great work!
Congrats dude, you did a really great job with the video, ruined my whole fucking day.
This was amazing man!
Aww really enjoyed the video was sad to see the channel seems inactive hope you come back soon
I really liked this show when I watched it around a year ago, and with this video you made me understand why, shortest 40 minutes of my life
With how well made this video essay is I was surprised when I subbed and saw you weren't at 100k+, you're great at this, keep it up I'm sure you'll blow up in no time goat 🐐
