I can't believe just how cute Chitanda was in this episode.

Oreki wasn't too far either, oh wow.

ok not talking about "mystery" here - it's the same level as always (nothing special that is)
but this family talk was kind of nice

but Chitanda
she is freaking scary
ok she may be cute, nice and all but what would happen to Oreki if he said "no"
he might have awaken with axe in his head or something along those lines - just look at her eyes one could say that this is curiosity but equally it can be insanity plus that energy of hers, if she is not satisfied she may go berserk as well

I've liked it from the beginning (unlike most people) even though it's slow and somewhat boring but this episode was really good, and it's great to finally get that "romance" feel between Chitanda and Houtaro.

Of course Chitanda wanted go to a mixed bath with oreki. Why?
*Chitanda glances to oreki's waistband*
"Ki ni narimasu!"
:P

Cute episode, I liked the little bit of Chitandaservice we got. It wasn't just plain boobs pushing in your face, it was more sensual sexyness. I approve.

And I also ship Chitanda & Oreki. When she came to visit him when he was lieing down... had hoped she would have stayed.

When Oreki asking Satoshi about the events I laughed with Satoshi's face expression.
About Chitanda saying that it isn't mixed bath, I'm a bit surprised.

I thought about mystery was the 2 sister was just tricking them lol.

The first obvious hints about romance between Oreki and Chitanda.
Great episode, the art and shading at the end was amazing.
Finally some real story, I really liked this episode.

I ADMIT IT! Look at where his hand is grabbing. It's too stop or not show his erection. Totally right but WAIT! Would that not waste at least 50% of his energy? That must have weaken him a lot. So then good thing he was in bed and fell KO after this most likely.

I see what you did there. I also see what the end result might. To say the least too perverted in my mind. I would have to say Eru once sex is in wants to know all about it most likely or experience it all.

I suggest to Houtarou to get Karma Sutra to Eru if this happens. Could calm her sense in regards to that but yeah Eru's curiosity would push her full blown about knowing everything of it. A rather scary approach.

Too bad Eru did not stay and lay down in the bed next to him. SHIT! Now I am thinking what would happen if she checked where that hand was looking.

Oh man I am thinking now someone will go FAN MODE to drawn some hentai of this part. Oh well, that's how it goes around anyway.

Indeed. Houtaro is such a cutie. He's just HNNNNNG. Moe over 9000 in this episode.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Perfect.

All in all, Hyouka is the best mystery anime in ages, only to be rivaled by the also recent UnGo. The difference between the two is that UnGo was more interesting, sadly.

But I would lie if I said I disliked Hyouka. Its characters are what makes the show. I wouldn't mind seeing them interact with each other except mystery, being curious and all that.

Other than a little too much Oreki service, this was a great episode. The series description in MAL already ships the four main characters as two couples, so no surprise with the Chitanda x Oreki progress in this episode, and a long walk with someone after a soak in a hotspring is almost as good as a long soak with someone in a hotspring (preferably with a little cuddling).
Please don't feed the trolls!

I probably don't have anything to say that hasn't been said here before, but Chitanda's vast array of hairstyles were simply gorgeous. I love the art and how it's styled.
Also the anatomy of this series is near flawless. Oreki's back had the exact proper muscles. Normally that isn't seen in very many series.

I can't wait to see what the next episode has to show us, there's so much potential!

Awesome ep.

Glad to see Oreki is starting to get attracted to Chitanda.

And damnit, Mayaka is just so cute.

InfiniteDestiny said:
Lol at Oreki's reactions to Eru "I'm glad we took this trip" "i wish we hadn't"; they really are opposites, but there is always that saying about opposites :P

Also lol at when Oreki's eyes lost color due to shock after Eru said she went to Morning radio exercises till the second year of middle school
Indeed. Opposites make the best couples imo. Kind of goes against the typical couple that has a lot of things in common, but opposites just have so much to share and learn from each other in a relationship which is why I hope Chitanda and Oreki get together by the end of the show.

the art is really top notch.like when chitanda was walking under the dappled sunlight of those trees and the animator took the time to cast the light across her face and hair.that would of taken ages to get right.

And what Tapanda said about the anatomy earlier, right on the money.they took the time to draw muscles on the body where they actually belong.

And Houtarou is like... the perfect character. OKAY?
HOUTAROU IS PERFECT ; A ;

And once again... their art is flawless. It's really impressive that they can maintain such high quality visuals considering that they only have a week to make each episode in time.

I've come to the conclusion that Houtarou listens to post-rock. Plain grey v neck, slim dark grey pants, shaggy hair, doesn't like anything too upbeat. I'd make a band with him.

While within that part Houtarou’s meaning of cherry can be a double meaning as simply eating or a keen foreshadow he will try to claim out Eru’s innocence, cherry representing that in some cases?


This is pretty interesting. I was little curious myself about the cherry. I thought it was just to look more interesting for him to eat :P. I am 50/50 about it foreshadowing. It does seem to be placed intentionally to go with the relationship tension, shown in this episode, between the two characters.

Dammit... That is so smart if that is actually intentional...

Wow, this series is still amazing. It's not my normal type of series, but I really like it. I love the art and the music (including the OP and ED). I really do like the mystery. It's always so simple, yet complex at the same time. Oreki is still a genius. And Chitanda is adorable. I like her more and more each episode. I'm really glad there are some many episodes left.

The Chitanda X Oreki relationship continues to involve every week. I wonder if either of them would actual admit feelings for each other at the end. Can't wait to see what happens. Gonna be an awesome summer.

I feel sorry for Oreki (don't care if the MC's like each other or not). He reminds me of Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya always getting led around by a strong willed girl. I'm just glad Chitanda isn't pushy AND tsundere.

Oreki's face after Chitanda said something about morning exercises lmbo!

I kinda wish Chitanda didn't see the sisters getting along though. Innocence is refreshing and all but knowing someone who lives in a constant state of blissful naivete is sometimes exhausting.

And the 'fanservice' was nicely done (Houtarou..). I think adding a bit of romance (hopefully later on) would help to give the series some 'spice'.
