In
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Too!: Complete Collection
(2015), Hikki 'Hachiman', Yukino and Yuigahama returns with the
school's Service Club, helping with various students requests with
their high school life. Both Hikki and Yukino are egotistic realists
and believe friendships are false and success isn't about working
hard, but knowing how to manipulate others. People are only friends
if you are popular or they think they can use you to move ahead.
Success is about manipulating others to do their work for them, but
since Yui joined them in the 'Service Club', they have become
closer... and can they begin to understand their feelings toward each
other?
The
'Service Club' continues to successfully solve various student
problems from personal love relationships to student council issues.
Hachiman successfully manipulates people from the background, and
while others get credit and acknowledgement he is left with nothing,
he plays the 'devils advocate'. But Yukino and Yui both knows
better, while they admire and love him for helping others, they hate
him for always playing the villain. Hachiman sacrifices himself to
help others succeed in life, love and friendship even though no
credit is ever given to him in return. In the end can they find
something something even more precious and genuine in each other?
This
was an amusing high school drama. The entire series revolves around
how unfair life is, how 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 to
sacrifice them in order to move ahead. And the reason why there will
always be victims is because the leaders/alpha males & females
ARE bullies will always need others to do their work for them. It was
a refreshing look at the world around us ...the truth is the world
isn't fair, but it doesn't me you have to be too.
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
continues to be most impressive with some Pro Logic-like surrounds if
you try them out. Extras again and only include clean opening and
closing animations and trailers.
