not sure about everyone else but i liked it was pretty funny sure nothing happened but i kinda expected it since this seems like a filler maybe near the end of next week something might happen plus the ED is good now! i like the old op but hopefully the new one is just as good.

This was a great ep. Laughed a few times and that breakdancing was cool. They seriously need to make an anime of that lol ( Assuming there isn't already one ). Also, Eru dressed in those outfits from the photography club was so moe! Mayaka was extremely cute this ep as well.

Loved the new ED and laid back nature of this ep ( Dat cosplaying! ). Then again I love the SOL genre so this ep was pretty standard for me :P

5/5 ep

Mayaka was dressed as: http://myanimelist.net/character/21046/Frolbericheri

The Ending was really good! The op is fine as it is, hopefully they don't change it. Ive been a bit behind on the novels, so I'm guessing the Pen is really important for something.. and they will have to search for it later. The button will be used to try and get in, but they can't find the guy.. maybe. The apple juice went missing, but not sure if that will be a big thing. Mysterious guy standing by the entrance of the auditorium when Chitanda tries to leave.... but he might of just been standing there. Mayaka's unhappiness with the Manga club.

Wow, although almost nothing really happened, it was very entertaining.
I laughed a lot
Oreki is just so lazy, Chitanda is bad at negotiation and easily distracted
The new ED is awesome and creative
So Hyouka can be fun too

Great new ending, but my question is, is it a subliminal message about possible future relationship?

Anyway it was a nice episode, it seems that not all is rosy with the lives of the Classics Club.

Nothing happened at all, and I was entertained by it. I like Mayaka more now, the way she acted throughout the episode was damn cute.

And OMG Chitanda. Getting distracted by everything and anything while trying to stay focused... so damn cute, I wanna abduct her.

And ofc, Oreki "holding the fort", lazying about the ine clubroom, that was soooooo him. Also, that clapping gif is made of instawin.

About the new ending... me likey. More lighthearted than the previous one, and it hints at romance for this anime, and since I'm setting sail on the SS OrekiXChitanda anyways... :D

Even though "nothing" happened, this episode made me laugh the most out of the others. For some reason I honestly think Oreki's sister might actually be psychic or something. As Oreki was saying in ep 5 it's as if she knew he would of question his life style (energy conservative) if he joined the Classics Club and now this episode with the pen, of course this stuff all could of been random and just so happened to go the way things went but I have a feeling Hyouka is gonna lean a bit into supernatural stuff

The animations were also flawless.

On a side note, just watched 11.5 .... I WANT THIS EPISODE IN GOOD QUALITY

I mean, having to watch ERU IN A BIKINI IN BAD QUALITY, that's the ultimate trolling.

And damn, more shipping fuel for my SS OrekiXChitanda :D I like

Hmn. Its like an introduction to the upcoming case. :)
.I was surprised that Oreki's sister is already home. :) It was just that I assumed that She'll always stay abroad. :D Id like to see her face. Too bad they only featured her hair. haha.

Nice Chitanda episode. Nyaha. Getting caught up with different clubs is sooooo like her! Haha. I love the picture taking club w/ cosplay thingy. :))) For a moment there, I saw Mio. :DD

Oreki being sooo lazy is nice too., especially the clap scene. :)))

I also like Ibara x Fukube scenes. GAHHH! I like this couple. :))

~ Ending vid sOng! Haha. I like the part where Chitanda and Ibara blushed., Isn't that a hint of romance coming up? Hoho. Soooo excited. :)

A nice laid back episode for me; though there wasn't a mystery, I didn't feel that the episode necessarily needed one. This episode set the atmosphere and setting well so I'm looking forward to some more plot next episode. And lazy Oreki is great xD

I was really surprised to see oreki's sister back all of the sudden with no introduction or whatsoever..and then i realised the ova was meant to be episode 11.5 , that confused me for awhile :( that aside, not a bad episode, sometimes having one or two laidback episodes could actually bring the plot forward better. I like the pacing of this show thus far.

I learnt 2 things from this episode:


1) Oreki is one LAZY (extremely), cool, handsome motherf**ker.

He will get girls falling for him left and right if he keeps this up.


2) Chitanda is so dammnnnn MOOEEEE!!! Hnnnggggghhh!

Oreki better make his move before this series ends, or else someone in the school will realise this and take her away from him.

Whenever Houtarou is approached by a energetic person outside his circle of friends he reacts endearingly bashful and slightly sheepish. Loved his reaction to the fashion club member.

Great episode, Chi-chan was about the worse possiable choice for this task XD and Oreki finally got his pce of mine while Sato goofed off haha, The B-boy thing was sick, liked cosplay at the maga sale, didnt think i would ever see anyone dress up as (Nakoruru) that was cool. new ED but no OP kinda sucks but ol well.

No Plot, just everyday nothingness which i dont mine

No mystery in Hyouka this week, it was all slice of life, and rather too much in the moe direction.

But it was also clearly the start of a new arc. I guess what we saw will actually be clues, so if you didn't pay attention, the next episodes may not make sense.

Houtarou should've asked the guy to advertise the club~

Nice episode, I've wanted some more casual ones. Though, this was merely the intro to the arc.

Finally the long-awaited cultural festival has started! So far it's great fun in my eyes and I wonder what else might happen. Just to name a few things I especially enjoyed during this week's episode- the fashion club punk, Fukube dressed up as Saturn, Chitanda having fun with the various booths etc etc
Like I said, overall a great episode that left me yearning for more.

Since I couldn't find an appropriate thread, I might as well write down my thoughts about episode #11.5 here. Despite it being a beach episode- something that's bound to be labelled as pure fanservice- it showed some crucial plot-development. Ever since the last case (movie project, that is) Houtarou was questioning himself whether he's special or not. It really looked like he had given up on himself so it was very nice to see his friends get him out of that hole; get him to be his old cynical self again.

yea, it didn't look like it, but there actually was quite a lot going on.

I think the change in ED (which I also like much better) might mark an important turning point in how this show progresses. To me, it much better highlights what this show is about, particularly the part where the girls have the guys in handcuffs and start to get ideas, only to find they guys have escaped.
