Did OreGairu anime adapt the Light Novel closely?


I wanted to watch the anime but I was wondering if it adapted the Light novel
closely. If not, then I plan to read the Light Novel before watching it.




So, this is a difficult question to answer because for the most part, the
anime covered the important points. As far as I know, season 1 of the anime
covered it sufficiently and left out trivial things. They did switched out
studios for season 2, however. Season 1 was done by Brain Base and season 2
was done by Studio Feel.

With that said, there are a lot of things that the first episodes of S2 did
not explain that are highly important. You can see a detail of it in [this

In summary, it explains to non-LN readers why Yukinon is acting the way she
is. LN readers would understand why and they can see the little things like
facial expression and other things that might be overt. Non-LN anime watchers
would have to be very attentive to capture the information otherwise.

This isn't a simple yes or no answer. If you don't have the time to read the
LN then I recommend you watch the anime as it is, as far as I know,
comprehensive. If you care about details or were confused by some of things
going on, then either read the LN or read the analysis for the episodes.
