Hachiman,
A.K.A. Hikki is the worlds biggest pessimistic and cynical boy in the
world. He is blackmailed to join the Service Club with Yukino, the
world's greatest egotistic girl. Together they are joined by
Yuigahama the world's happiest go lucky girl, whom all other girls
use her as a gopher. They are the outcasts of high school society
and life, but together can they really believe people can be
friends?
Hikki is the school biggest loser/loner, and while he
is the world's biggest pessimist and cynic ...he is not wrong. He
see the truth of what people truly are, materialistic weasels and
leeches. He believes that no one truly is your friend, and if they
are, they are only using you to climb the ladder of society. The
world is ruled by bullies, alpha males and females. He is forced
into the Service Club where he meets other outcasts of society like
him. As they work improving their social skills will time prove them
wrong ... or right? But together, they will have something they
never had before ...friends.
This was an amusing high school
drama. The entire series revolves around how unfair life is, not
everyone can be popular and there is only one alpha female/male. The
reasons why you can never get rid of bullies is because society
thrives off victims and others will sacrifice them to move ahead.
And the reason why there will always be victims is because the
leaders/alpha males & females/bullies will always need/want
others to do their work for them. It is a refreshing look at the
world around us, the truth of the world, and that is the world isn't
fair.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image quality across all the
episodes are among Sentai's very best and demo quality all the way,
while the lossless DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 2.0 Stereo sound on each
is very impressive with some Pro Logic-like surrounds if you try them
out. Extras includes clean opening and closing animations and
trailers.
