| The rose colored life thing was really cliche and I think writers made the whole Setakuni Jun story more dramatic than it was. Still a good episode tho. There's alot of holes left in the story that I hope will be covered later on. I like the hyouka pun tho. "Ice cream" "I scream" |
| BORRRRRRRRRRING. |
| Interesting! moral of episode : to be strong and SCREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAM when necessary |

Ajunky said: ... Still, It would have been funny if someone had said "sorbet" when Houtarou asked for the English word. XD "Sorbet" is phonetically the same as "sore bay." Bay is a synonym for sound. So, "sorbet" becomes "sore sound." Sound (as in bay) is a homonym of sound (as in noise). To be sore is to be physically painful. One of the most common examples of a physically painful noise is a scream. So, "sorbet" refers to screaming. The bottom line? Sekitani Jun is a fucking genius. |
| Great episode, I guess this is the end of this arc. What Chitanda said at the end might mean that she loves Houtarou. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| First episode I actually really enjoyed. But how did they get "ice cream" from "hyouka"? |
| Dat ice cream. |
 |
| Yeah, this show is just below average. I'd rather watch Case Closed than this tbh |
 |
| And that concludes this mystery arc about Hyouka's past I guess. Lately said: Yeah, this show is just below average. I'd rather watch Case Closed than this tbh I guess people have different tastes, just like in icecream. This truly was fantastic story-telling IMO. There really needs to be more solving of mysteries like this that aren't supernatural. Same goes for murder-mysteries, or death related, like Detective Conan (aka Case Closed) where the majority of their mysteries are almost always murders. |

| *Sigh* its amazing what the patience of the average human amounts to...well everyone is entitled to their opinion i suppose, no matter how simple minded it may be O_O Well that aside is it just me or is Oreki really tall? or perhaps the rest of them are just short? |
 |
| Pretty nice conclusion for the most part, but I wonder what will happen for the next 16 episodes... I kind of wish they'd move on to a more interesting mystery or at least make the supposedly finished one more interesting. I usually have a pretty big patience for long-drawn anime, but I hope this show will have some sort of nice climax somewhere later on, or at least some more character development. At least this anime doesn't have cheap moe. I knew "Hyouka" meant something along the lines of "ice cream", so when Oreki mentioned "pun", the rest was easy to figure out. |
| Quite liked it. too bad it ended so fast. I wouldn't have minded waiting a couple more episodes for that conclusion ~ Ah well. There are a few holes, but I think the uncle thing will be the only hole that will really be worked out. Of course, the real organizer could easily be related to her uncle's disappearance. |
| I hope the main story here revolves around Eru and Houtarou, short arc like his is fine for it will develop their relationship.. waiting for their love story.. :D |
| Better the previous episode, but I'm still not feeling it. There's still not a lot going on. Hopefully Oreki changes and becomes less of a lazy depressed asshole. |
 |
| I scream.. |
 |
| Oh boy. Ice Cream, I Scream. I get it. What a great mystery. Is the next one gonna be the mystery of Mr I.C. Wiener? |
| Best episode so far. As expected from KyoAni. No OP/ED letting more story and faster pace for this episode. For people who are waiting for character development, are we even watching the same show? Heck, Oreki already developed really fast in this episode! Especially if you're paying attention to many details (his voice tone changed a bit, he slammed a phone, Chitanda didn't need to pull his hand anymore, and he become more active (and sarcastic) in many things) LOL @Curious Mongrel. For some reason I reminded of Gilgamesh. Really splendid animation and presentation there, KyoAni. That rabbit animation and BGM captures the little Chitanda's memory perfectly. And finally I decided to... I SCREAAM... THE FIRST 5/5~ |
| Well, the mystery of what Chitanda's Uncle said was solved. And I have a feeling that Oreki will change. |
| LOL |
| I'm quite surprise at the number of people who think nothing have happened... Maybe the animator need to cater to those "special" bunch by having the character always making obvious statements like "I have changed a little", "She look sad", "He look disturb, which is unlike him", "your excited face didn't differ much from your lazy one" along those lines... but seeing that some might still not get it... how about? "If I didn't solve this mystery, Chitanda will be forever haunted by this memory, and Jun's story will be forgotten forever, because I'm such an awesome main character I'm able to uncover the real story." Seriously... Houtaro alone have change dramatically especially in the last 2 episodes, he even indirectly confessed it to Satoshi. |

| That phrase was rather very clever. Yum. Ice Cream. :p |
| Sighed at some comments, guess some people can't appreciate Hyouka just because it is not the type of anime that has "jumping" story type. |
| What if Sekitani Jun is with Houtarou's sister? kokoro_412 said: OMFG it was actually really good! and the classic music inserted in this...so good. soo good It's called Air composed by Bach c: |

| I didn't understand this "colors" business but it was a great episode overall. I'm glad Houtarou's theory turned out to be right. The part where the revelation of the meaning of the title occurred was beautifully executed. Even I was restless in front of the screen. Animation was as amazing as always too. Oh and it was nice to hear the mention of the place I live in (Sarajevo), in an anime. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| One week ago, we have people rambling about how boring this it, thius they missed this episode if they droppef it. This is what they get for their low patience. |
| ITT: The great literary-minded intellectuals lambast the poor simple-minded peons who doesn't like the show they like. Stay classy, anime fandom. |

| What a good way to make History interesting I Scream! |
basmimarsinan said: I didn't understand this "colors" business. 'Rose-colored life' is a phrase that basically means you lived a life that was enjoyable and without problems or regrets. He was basically trying to figure out if a conflict-free life (the sort of life he's basically pursuing) is really the sort of life he wanted. Now, 'rose-colored' doesn't necessarily mean conflict free, but the important thing is that you enjoyed yourself and didn't feel regrets about what happened. I'm not sure if that made much sense, but that's the best way I can explain it. It's just a phrase that I take for granted in knowing how to use it I guess? |
| best episode thus far. Can't wait for next week! |

I think I can relate that phrase to one with the color pink in my native language. Still the color business as a whole (with gray, rose-colored, shocking pink and green) is a bit confusing, especially when it's used in the context of Sekitani Jun. I guess I need to pay more attention to related dialogues to figure that out. I think I at least got that Houtarou has been considering changing his color from gray to rose-colored. |

| Again, Hyouka never fails to win me over while at the same time, making me go "why do I even watch this stupid show?" 4/5 for this episode. Yet another pointless mystery. Really, you could have just asked the librarian from the start? Wasted energy doesn't even begin to describe it. What was the point of everything? Imagine if in Detective Conan, Conan spends the whole episode trying to figure out a case, and then, Kogorou says, "Oh yeah, I forgot, this guy did it. I saw it, but then I forgot." You'd be pissed! What a waste of time! That is what Hyouka does every damn episode. "Well, this mystery seems like a mystery, but it's actually just a matter of asking one person who knows everything." It's not a mystery then! This show's genre is most definitely "gathering information". That is what this show is about. It is about gathering information. And my opinion never changes about this show, either. I like it in spite of the fact that it's fucking stupid. Seriously? "I scream for ice cream"? Are you kidding me? Oreki wasn't joking when he said it was a lame pun. That was the WORST pun I have ever heard. And is anything happening between Chitanda and Oreki? No? Of course not. Well done, Hyouka, you are the first show that I both love and hate. Hopefully you find a reason to exist within the next 16 episodes. |

| Again, this show reminds me of the 'Perfect Crime Club' from Bakuman. These four are solving "mysteries" that no one gives a flying feather about. Except Hyouka is not serious comedy. |
Kvakond said: Again, this show reminds me of the 'Perfect Crime Club' from Bakuman. These four are solving "mysteries" that no one gives a flying feather about. Except Hyouka is not serious comedy. Totally true. Anyhow this anime is plain amazing. I'm triying to figure out wich anime i take out from my favs to place this one. |
| I scream for Ice cream huh? Very nice episode. Really like how this mystery came to a conclusion. Next week a new episode, a new mystery? I'm pretty sure we'll get back to this sometime though! |
 |
| i liked the meaning of Hyouka |
 |
| Best part was when Houtaru called Chitanda a Mongrel. |
| When Oreki said the meaning of Hyouka means Ice cream in english. I got it completely. I feel sorry for Sekitani Jun. He wasn't even the real leader. He was just a double. Oreki, you genius. Though, I wonder what mystery will they unlock now? |

| Wow this whole mystery was very well thought out, it was great going through all the steps that they went through. I scream huh, damn that's pretty smart. Oreki sure is brilliant. Great episode. EOTW said: Yep.Best part was when Houtaru called Chitanda a Mongrel. |
 |
| that was one hell of an interesting episode.. really ) 24 minutes passed just too fast.. totally loved the explanation and ice cream part |
