s01e13 — And So, Their Festival Will Never End

Stories where the main characters don't have friends accidentally join a club with the same ones, and by the end of the season, everyone is friendly and happy in anime is quite common. The question is, are you a harem man for profit or an ideological representative? OreGairu positions itself as the original. I really liked all the reflections on the truth of the situation of singles, their honesty to themselves and others, the clash of popular with gray mice, and all this without magical transformations into a happy ending. Everyone stays true to themselves, just a little closer to the other. I liked that the characters are very natural, especially Hickey, they didn't turn him into a crowd favorite and an ideal good guy. He is an already formed personality, with his cockroaches in his head, with his problems and attitude to life and others. And he carries this burden on himself to the very end.
To be honest, all these reflections and collisions weren't enough for me, the last two final stories were either delayed or fanservice, but it didn't look as easy and fresh as at the beginning. I'll get distracted by something else before season 2. But I wonder what's in there?

It was boring and the jokes were weak, only a couple for the whole season were normal, but you can watch it once

Basically, anime is not bad, you can take a look once. I especially liked the final episodes.
It would be better if there were less drama and more comedy episodes. Of course, I would also like to reduce the pseudo-philosophical nonsense of the main character or correct it. You can sometimes hear very stupid things from his mouth. Besides, I doubt that an ordinary schoolboy could come to such thoughts while staying in comfortable living conditions. Anyway...
the image of the main character is not completely clear to me. Singles, as a rule, always stay in the shadow of others and do not attract attention to themselves, their speech is short and understandable. But here the main character is cynical even when talking to unfamiliar people, which will sort of set him apart from the rest. And that's just what immediately catches the eye. But okay. Maybe it's just my imagination. Or I just substitute the character for my stereotype of loners. It doesn't matter.
Let's look at the second and third seasons.

It's not bad, but I realized that the genre is not my thing at all, I was bored on many episodes, hickey dragged all the anime

I would like to point out that if you chose this anime to relax and laugh after a hard day at school or work, then perhaps it is not very suitable for this. The story is told through the prism of the protagonist's perception of this world, and he is, to put it mildly, a proud loner and an invisible man who has drawn his conclusions about this world based on his own experience. We were shown not only those who did not fit into the school hierarchy, but also popular students who, as it turned out, also have their major flaws and weaknesses. Therefore, if you have a free evening and you are in the mood to watch the conclusions of an outcast student about how human society works, which in my opinion is the most interesting thing here, then this anime is for you. The main character is generally the highlight of this anime, the whole narrative is based on him, all other characters, even fl, fade against his background.
