| I realllly hope Oreki X Chitanda happens, they will make a great couple. Chitanda is like the only one about to force Oreki to do shit. I love how from 1 announcement Oreki came up with a whole theory that just so happen to be right lol |
 |
| The counterfeit bill was a bit of a longshot, but it also made sense. Damn Oreki, your expressions. :D |
| Mildly interesting, but this episode gave unrealistic deduction a whole new meaning. Obvious fan-service tease is obvious, blah. Hopefully KyoAni won't flop their fall show. |

| WOW. Oreki x Chitanda all over the place. Hell yeah, that was a fantastic episode even though with that lot dialog. At first I thought that visiting the uncle invitation is already the highlight of this episode. I was so wrong. Eru was so incredibly cute. :x And all those facial expressions from both of them! *_* Also mind that self-mockery of this times "mystery". Lol. Genius. |
 |
| All that deduction from one line of dialogue..... Wow. Oreki really is a genius. |

| Fantastic episode! This episode was filled with an exceptional amount of excellent character and relationship development. Houtarou's ability to solve the mystery based on such small amounts of evidence was brilliant, as usual. Despite the more subdued mysteries and the slower nature of these last two episodes, they manage to be thoroughly interesting and enjoyable due to the heightened focus on specific characters and their interactions with one another. The subtle nuances of continual character growth, particularly in regards to Houtarou, is fascinating to watch unfold, as he's noticeably becoming more energetic and willing to participate. The steady development of the relationship between Oreki and Chitanda is fantastic as well, as they have an amazing amount of chemistry together. The visual mastery on display here perfectly embellishes their interactions with one another, capturing a variety of quick emotions very well, particularly through specific eye movements and subtle facial expressions. The music wonderfully sets the tone in a plethora of scenes, effectively illuminating and energizing minor interactions and detailed explanations. The strong writing consistently elevates these simple mysteries into rather compelling material, due mostly to the impressively meticulous manner in which the deductions are eventually revealed. I felt the pacing flowed quite nicely throughout, never becoming dull or slowing too much. I'm really looking forward to the next episode, since the preview hints at even more Oreki x Chitanda romance. It's really unfortunate that only two episodes remain, as this has become one of my favorite shows of the year. Hopefully the last two episodes impress just as well as the majority of the rest have. |

| They're really shipping that OrekixChitanda. I still find his conclusion to this mystery a bit off. I mean, couldn't the kid be called in because he could be a witness to a car crash or some crime? I mean he made a good guess but too little evidence to come up with a full proof deduction. |
    |
| Oh my God, how cute are Oreki and Chitanda together? He even smiled! More than once! The preview for next episode looks amazing. I'm definitely excited for next week. |
| great ep Oreki's too smart..can't wait for next week :P |
| God I wish the last two episodes would have some real substance but it looks like they'll just be throwing ChitandaxOreki in our faces even more. And Chitanda, as overbearing and annoying as usual. |
 |
| SHES TOO DAMN CUTE. her moe is almost too much for me i feel like they will have the shrine visit in the last episode to end the show in a cute romantic way and it excites me :) |
   |
| It was a fulfilling episode, I was interested the whole time maybe because it reminded me of the mansion murder mystery...and there expressions XD that just bumped up my score |
 |
| So as the series ends, they give me episodes full of only Oreki x Chitanda, I must commend them..they are so cute together. Next episode looks awesome. I really hope they do get together, although just seeing them interact like this is quite satisfying. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Character developments for Oreki and Chitanda...I liked how they did it :D Next episode, kiiiiiimoonooo~ |
| I feel so awesome that i guessed counterfeit money before Oreki revealed that as part of his theory. Too bad it was only a guess based on a list of possible crimes and not some deep conclusion based on a thorough thought process. xD Damn Oreki, that rationalization. You are officially my hero. Smartass. Also, that bed hair. Lol. It's not as tense as previous arcs, but it's interesting nonetheless. |
| Never have I been so captivated by an anime where two people talking to each other in a room for 25 minutes. Loved the character development this episode :D It really seems like they're trying to get them together before the show/season ends. Next episode cant possibly not have development between the two of them lol. So many embarrassing/tense scenes with them getting so close to each other, this show just loves to tease us :P |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| I kind of wanted it to be the Arson, but oh well. Pretty Good episode. The flow was really good, and it made the episode move rather quickly. Oreki and Eru's relationship seems to grow given the bunch of awkward moments in between. Oreki's character appears to enjoy solving mysteries a lot more. Speaking of which, they started this game to prove a point that it was just luck that Oreki was able to solve mysteries... but they forget that at the end of the episode. And it turns out that Oreki was right about it deduction after all. Next episode involves peeping tom Chitanda. Oh boy |

That's also the first thing that came to my mind when the announcement was made, it was that they were trying to find witnesses to some crime. |
 |
| frustrated because they were SO CLOSE. i mean, that close-up of their lips odg. more mundane mysteries, hurrah. hopefully a kiss in the next episode? the preview seems promising. all that blushing and proximity must lead to something... right? |

| Even though Oreki just wants to prove to Chitanda that not all wild theories work... his theory still worked! Hahahahaha. Love their moment. Chitanda's pout... and holding the book, so cute! Cannot wait to see the next week's festival episode! Chitanda in yukata!!! |

| Dam! This is my favorite episode yet! All I ask is a kiss even if it is an accidental one. |
| omg at all the Oreki/Chitanda goodness... and more to come next episode. Boring mystery though, it's the characters that help each episode shine. |
| Love those "explanation/stick figure scenes", and next episode = want now >.< |
| Man this show deserves more people to watch lol, seriously this is the most enjoyable show for me in the last 2 season. |

| Oreki say's all the cases he solved was luck. Oreki is trying to make, Chintanda doubt him in solving mystery. Oreki wild conclusion was correct a the end. He was lucky? LOLED |

| My thoughts exactly. Kiss already! That episode had many levels of epic to it. And I agree it was hellishly teasing. |
 |
| Man, Oreki, just get a job as a detective already! |
| OMG I MIGHT DIE FROM ERU MOENESS. But damn, the mystery solving was awesome. |
| We need more Oreki and Chi-chan episode's those to together are priceless, realist game of Clue ever Moe Chi-chan |
| omg the first thing i've seen today after i got up was that picture then right away i watched this episode damn u photoshopers. . . |
| Dam, Oreki is genius for deducting that case from just two piece of evidence. If he is in Deathnote, he will probably bust Light in 4 episodes. |

ZMEI said: omg the first thing i've seen today after i got up was that picture then right away i watched this episode damn u photoshopers. . . Nice Photoshop, whoever did that. And I SOOOOOOOOOOO do want that. Damn, I love the tension between the two of them rising. All I need is for them to kiss. Just a little peck, or even an accidental one. Then this show would be best of season for me. Also, I loled at Oreki failing. Failing to prove that he's no fuckin' genius, that is. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Ohmygod. This episode is so A+. Totally nice to have an episode with just them. Animation was also quality. I really love this episode. ChitandaxHoutarou moments. ;) Now I also want to see some Satoshi and Ibara development :D Wow. This'll end in two weeks. O_O |
| that felt like a Joshiraku episode. |
| ^ I lol'ed :D |
| I really like mysteries about deducing everyhting from nearly nothing, they show how much your detective-character is especially well. This episode, while lacking in Classic Club's members, was great. Just like every other one. Because Hyouka is simply fantastic. And no, it did not feel like a Joshiraku episode, what are you talking about? Nobody shouted or hit anybody. |
 |
| Damn, Chitanda is freaking CUTE in this episode..... TBH that deduction is master of far fetched deductions.... 4/5 (for the cuteness of Chitanda) |
 |
| Didn't even realize it was 25 minutes, very nice! |
"Now's the time for you to run towards the day you awaken from this dream." ~Boys be Smile |
| So from a simple announcement deduced to a counterfeit money which turned out to be true? wut? Next episode looks nice. |
| Eru is too cute x) Next episode! New Year!!! OH YEAHH |
| Shames! It was just like a simple episode, but there's so much Oreki x Chitanda scenes that you can see it as an amazing one! hohoho. :D those teasing scenes were one hell of a moments! ARGH! I wanted them to continue until what are we waiting for will happen! Arghhhhh! :D KISSSSSSSSSUUUUU! The next episode will be a good one, sure of it! :D ------- lately, its always Chitanda x Oreki. Shames! Just make them a couple already! :D |
