As much as I would have loved to see them "warm" each other up, doing so would be going directly against the reason why she didn't want to call for help in the first place.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

5/5

The arc of Eru and Oreki still goes very well, a bit forced the deduction made ​​by Oreki to fix the mess in which they were driven out, but the rest is nice to look at, always very calm tone of the narrative. Chitanda in the last episode is going through Mayaka, beautiful figure that is standing in the Kimono, but also Mayaka with long hair is not bad! Too bad the new character only serves as a side dish! Ah!

The face Oreki had whilst watching that historical film had me laughing XD
Though this was another episodic episode, with an 'unusual mystery (for Mayaka and Satoshi) I really did enjoy it :D
Mayaka and Chitanda both looked realy cute, and Oreki's trench coat looked cool aswell >_<

i was hoping they'd make passionate love in the shed in an attempt to keep warm...


I was hoping too. I was imagining Oreki would say "I have an idea... Maybe if we could hug each other to keep warm? I hope you don't mind." But that will not happen. Oreki is not like that. xD

Also, Oreki should've just accepted Chitanda's obi :P

Chitanda looked pretty on her Kimono :D. LOL they got locking in the shed with no one to come by until at the end. At least a cuddle or hug will make them warm enough.

Awwwn, I thought that to keep warm, they would have to hold themself, I'm decieved :P

Ahhh, she look dang fine in that kimono :3
Hourtarou sure seemed to agree.

Using an old war trick he saw in a tv drama, that's clever xD

Next episode, fromt the title and preview, it look like it will be valentine's day. Maybe Houtarou will get chocolate from you know who ;)

Tbh I miss the mysteries ... I mean yeah, Chitanda was really pretty in this episode, and there were some other good moments (rich family traditions) but I want another case to solve! Not just romance hinting >_< Though that offer to use the obi string ... lol :P
I wonder how Houtarou got the string off that banner though O_O Good thing Satoshi has a good memory because I probably wouldn't have figured out that message ... I thought they'd developed their own secret messaging system or something lol. Personally I think the rumour-spreading thing is a little silly, especially if you're gonna freeze to death, but like Houtarou maybe I just don't understand it :S
Valentine's day episode next I think! I want chocolate :(

Sappy new year. Ep 20.

Plot: Oreki and Chitanda go to the temple for new years. After some shenanigans, both get trapped in the close-I mean shed and its cold outside. It takes 3 tries but they manage to get free thanks to Oreki and Satoshi liking the same show and Satoshi's possible database powers.

Character: Once more this was chock full of ChitandaxOreki goodness. This was a date in all but name. And man I think they're on the same wave length. Oreki, no pulling on Chitanda's Obi. Save that for the wedding. ;)

Animation/sound: The clothing made this a feast for the eyes. And Oreki's little inner screw up head bump was just adorable.

5/5. Weird that I watched this before actual new years.

I think this episode is good. I don't really think I picked up anything much because I'm still stunned by Chitanda-chan in a Kimono in the spoiler:


They're so like couple :)



Oh, and don't forget about Mayaka in an unexpected Miku dress. So cute:

Oh, by the way, that joke about Obi ... Oreki should have take her Obi! :P

There's no way I can end this without posting this following photo ...

Like the moments of oreki and chitanda. I see think I've seen this kind of stuck characters scenes in some shed or warehouse in anime as suzumiya, XXXHOLiC and toradora. Likely cliché. Chitanda so very beautiful using a kimono.
Good anyway because it was well set and not very purposeful.

This was a surprisingly good episode even though it was not mystery related.

Houtarou and Chitanda alone in a shed. Was expecting some sort of a romantic development. Oh well.

Man, the sexual romantic tension between Oreki and Eru in this episode sure was huge, especially during the Obi scene.

Anyways, pretty entertaining episode overall.

Eru looked gorgeous in her yukata, by the way.

ah yes, the shrine storeroom...where the holy torture instruments of Oyashiro are kept

these people seems to kinda act like they're in the 1950s or something if Chitanda worries about her reputation...I wonder if this is accurate in rural Japan or just something appealing to yamato nadeshiko fans

Not a bad episode. I wish the justification as to why they couldn't just call for help wasn't so contrived, though. Even if there was a misunderstanding (which I feel was unlikely, given their situation), a moment's explanation would have cleared everything up. It was pretty stupid how neither of them reacted when they heard the door was about to be barred again, too.

Everything in that episode is just cute. And why there’s a lot of suggestive romantic scenes? I definitely shipped Houtarou and Chitanda but I don’t think it will lead to anything :(

Eru's so cute in a kimono!

Kaho-san looks so different.

Mayaka's reaction when Satoshi came though... how cute with her shyness and blushing!

Pretty funny episode. Not gonna lie I thought they were going to come up with a ridiculous reason as to why he can't just call out. But turns out it makes quite some sense, especially since Eru's family is an upper class family.

The intro started awkwardly looks like they're trapped inside a storage unit while it's cold inside

Eru invited Oreki to go to the shrine and said she'll show off her Kimono to him lucky Oreki
They got trapped inside the shed but they were supposed to go to a warehouse and it's freezing cold for them that only means one thing I think we all know where this is going but sadly It didn't happen as to what I expected it to be

If Satoshi didn't watch the same drama as Oreki has they would have no other choice but to call for help in that way nice save by Satoshi I was expecting at least a hug from Oreki or Comforting Oreki from Eru since It was freezing cold inside.

That is a bestfriend for you. It is really cool for Satoshi to find Houtarou from those hints. Only those with same frequency can understand that kind of communication.

This anime started out interesting but then peaked after the uncle mystery was resolved and ever since then it's just been utterly boring. The comedy is lame the mysteries are easily solvable or they are just so far fetched they make no sense and there's absolutely no romance between any of the characters. And then episode 20 where they get locked in the store room it just seems like they could have easily gotten out of there by yelling for help and the whole idea of the gossip was just so far-fetched it's like the author of this anime ran out of ideas. This is probably one of the worst animes I've ever seen started out great and it's ending is just atrocious.

I don't know why they couldn't call for help and then just explain why they were trapped there.

Never seen a "trapped in a shed" scenario like this where nothing happened either. Not even huddling up to conserve body heat or anything?

While Oreki hid himself, Chitanda could have gotten help to make it outside and after 5 mins or so, return to free Oreki. Least energy using idea tbh
