Wow, that felt like much longer than 20 minutes to me. Great episode, even if not a lot happened. I guess the first part was there for some character development. The mystery was ok, but not the greatest. I still really like this series for some reason. It's really pretty, if nothing else. Two weird parts with the girl. Angel image, and then all the mini angels. I wonder if that was another one of her visual things that happen like in the first 2 episodes. I really hope there is some sort of supernatural incorporation with her at some point.

Good ep. I still can't understand how she could forget the reason for her outburst but that's Chitanda for you.

Plenty of eye contact from her, angel scene was awesome and the problem solution wasn't bad either. Glad to see the OP/ED back.

Liking the development between Houtaro and Chitanda. The characters are pretty good in this show, I enjoy their interactions.

Mystery itself was dumb as shit though. Teachers forget where their classes are all the time, does it really matter this much? Though I grew to appreciate the mystery more after Houtaro noted that Chitanda was curious because she wanted to dismiss her anger as being in the wrong.

Chitanda was so cute this episode, and I just love the way she gets all close up to Houtarou. Ah being dragged into yet another mystery, this one was his fault for asking one too many questions. And how does she forget why she got angry lol.

I don't think it's that she forgot why she was angry, like Houtaro figured out, she wanted to come to the conclusion that the reason why she got angry was wrong. He said, "I guess Chitanda is that kind of person."

Anywho, I love this show <3

Good ep.

<3'd the part when Houtarou fantasized about Chitanda as an angel. I was like "Yay, we can finally get some romance between them!", but then Chitanda had to say it was a joke :(

Maybe it wasn't and she just felt embarrassed to admit it infront of him :P

Anywho, next ep looks like a hot spring ep? Can't wait!

Hyouka just keeps getting better and better, i just love how they make everyday life scenarios into something special

and i really can't wait for the lot of characters in here, especially the "megane" one
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch.

This episode really stepped up the boring.

Why would they get angry or care so much about the teacher making a minor mistake? Let alone discuss it that long?

Ugh, people will watch anything that is cute girls being air heads won't they?

What I hate about Chitanda is that she is too persistant when it come to mysteries! She is nice, cute and all. She is not the annoying type of girl. I'll actually like her if she is not overreacting to mysteries too much. I hate the way she leans her face to Hotaro whenever she curius about something and wanted Hotaro to solve it! And she leans to Hotaro face way TOO CLOSE! I believe she is a good character but I found her annoying everytime she gets all close to Houtaro. She invade Houtarou's space too much.

The mystery is simple. I hope the next one would be better.

Think they don't exactly understand the 7 deadly sins, its not that you are supposed to have nothing to do with them its just you want to keep each of them at a minimum and never let one affect your lifestyle.

That first scene of Houtarou with the pencil has happened to me so many times before! I'd get really stressed out from not being able to pick up the pencil lead from the top of my book/table!

When Chitanda said she does not understand why she herself was angry, I was like T_Tlll

Love the animation when Chitanda told the story and also the animation of the math teacher's handwriting!

I cant believe Houtarou said "soul mate"!!! XD When Chitanda said to conserve energy, Houtarou's expression is really something!!!

its getting to the point where I don't really mind that the 'mysteries' aren't that strong, the animation and characters just make up for that and carry it nicely, for example the mystery in this episode was weak but I thurally enjoyed it, especially the deadly sins conversation, which I found interesting to watch....
Although kinda expected a chill episode after the last arc coming to an end

Kind of a meh epsidoe and mystery :/

I still don't get why they made such an ending scene with the girls wearing lingeries and the sexually suggestive theme of the animation itself. I would understand it if the anime was full of ecchi scenes, but it's not. At least so far.
Don't get me wrong I think they made it very beautiful and the song is pretty good, but it just seems kind of pointless and unnecessary :/

So... Chitanda doesn't even knew her reason to be angry? Wow... I think instead of the genre "Mystery", "Drama" could fit better. All the mysteries are related to the school, and I find this pretty boring.

This is quite possibly the most uninteresting series I have ever seen. Not the worst but it's so boring. It picked up a little when they were trying to figure out what was up with her uncle and why there were weird things going on but an instructor writing the letters a and d similarly and mistaking them for it?

Ugh... Please tell me it gets better because I don't know how much longer I can wade through this.

I guess I must be an airhead to because there have been situations where I've snapped at someone and wasn't even sure why it happened. I thought it was an emotion that was pretty interesting to explore.

This is just making me want to see a kiss between Chitanda and Houtarou.
It would be so beautifully animated with awesome surreal scenery.
But, alas, that won't happen.

Seriously though, this anime looks better than Tamako Market and maybe even Chuunibyou even though it came out before those two.

Hmmm.... I'm gonna have to reevaluate my opinion of this series. I kinda thought the uncle mystery was gonna be more... mysterious. If that's really are there was and it's a bunch of these one-off mysteries than I'm not really that interested.

Damn. Why does a show have to do this to me?

Chitanda knows how to be persuasive, a little pathos, but the arguments I liked drawing and animation remains consistently high. I also like the interaction between the four during the exposure of the case, does not make them seem trivial, even if they are.

What makes me angry? This episode. Heh. Okay, not angry but the storyline did annoy me.

Chitanda's airhead nature was frustrating more than cute this time. If she thought harder about why she was angry she would have figured it out herself. But I think a person can be angry for no reason, it's happened to me before. She said she wasn't angry about the teacher yelling at the students, and no, she probably wasn't, but I think the situation was so frustrating that her frustration grew and then she became angry.

I saw no need for them to make such a big deal of the teachers mistake. He made an uncalled for fuss at his students, sure, but everyone makes mistakes. I've made those kinds of mistakes, and I didn't sit around for an hour afterwards trying to figure out why. Maybe I'm just carefree like that.

Aside from really enjoying the art, sound and the their discussion and interaction before their new 'case', I couldn't say I enjoyed it as much as the other episodes.

I think I'd be a sloth like Houtarou, too, if I had to spoon feed answers to my classmates on such trivial matters.

Hmm it was a little boring. The mystery was also very disappointing. I mean really, who the heck is gonna waste their time trying to figure out why their teacher made a silly mistake. They went through too much trouble just to get to the point that Chitanda doesn't want to get mad and that Houtarou knows little about her. In fact, I'm even surprised he didn't just go home when she asked him the first time. I guess he really is doing all this for Chitanda. I hope this gets better. I still have high hopes lol
