| Nice episode.... Eru and Oreki trapped in a shed on a cold new year day..... (I was really longing for a HUG <3) Seems like all the episodes after school festival are for EruxOreki moments..... Kinda sad, next episode will be the final one.... :( 4/5 |
 |
| Arghh same as you guys i was so disappointed they didn't hug to keep warm!! But well.. this anime isn't tagged as Romance anyway. :/ |
| I'm having thoughts that next week may not be the last episode? I've seen theories floating around online. Apparently the title of next week's episode shares it's name with the second-last section in the 4th volume of the light novel. Would be strange to end the anime at that point, wouldn't it? i.e. next week is 2nd last episode, final episode will be BD exclusive?? |
| That was a sweet episode with some Japanese traditions and History |
| Eru looked very beautiful in the kimono :) Finally Satoshi solves a mystery on his own! Please don't tell me this is ending next week :/ |

| Well everybody expected from Houtarou and Chitanda to as least hug in the cold, myself included, but if we look at it realistically, this series doesn't have the romance tag (sadly to admit) and so you kind of expect for nothing to happen. |
| Moeness overload. Lol at Oreki's tehepero |

Yeah that's to bad :/ At least it has some great parts, I hopefor a second season. |
| To me, possibly the best episode thus far. Seriously, the author of Hyouka really is creative in his ways. (What with the 'trapped like a rat' thing) It was almost like romance was completely unnoticeable until the previous episode and this episode. I wonder if it will reach the climax at the finale. |
| where's the SS? |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| As cute as Eru is, it seems she just let the shed door close without a second thought, lol. Of course, it made for some comedy. Too bad Houtarou didn't go with Eru's plan of using the Obi string... |
 |
| Fukube's face when he opened the door was epic.:D But it was cute episode lol And I ca't believe that Hyouka is going to end next week. Dammit. |
| Awesome ep! Chitanda was as moe as ever and Oreki was well... Teehee. Despite not hugging each other, I loved how Satoshi came to the rescue this time! One more, me is sad. |
| —Actually, nevermind. |

|
| I still think they should have dug a tunnel underground since it was faster and it won't destroy anything from the shrine. It was a nice episode just too see Kimono Eru ,Shrine Maiden Mayaka and Kaho. |
| nooooooooooooooo all characters are too lovely, i don't want this series end... DX |
| Is there hope Part 2 Anime |
| щ(ಥДಥ)щ... 1 episode left! |
| Can't believe it will end next episode :< |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
GuiltyKing said: Cute Chitanda is cute. Not much more I can say about this episode since it lacked a real plot-related event. 4/5 Nothing happened other than Chitanda being cute ----> 4/5 Logic. |

| I wish you could have a part 2 |
| this episode was so AWESOME!!! eru looked so gorgeous in her kimono, and i was seriously hoping for some eru x houtarou "development" in that shed ;P he should've just taken her string xDDD |

| Grrr, I'm disliking KyoAni for this. First the 19th episode and now this. Next episode I hope Oreki asks Chitanda to go out and then KyoAni makes a second season: Hyoka After Story. |

| Haha it was fun :D I would have rather get some bad talk going instead of freezing to death though |
 |
| This series has really grown on me. Even Chitanda is starting to get less annoying. KyoAni really excels at everything. I'm sad that this show is ending next week though. :( |

Vforvendetta said: oh btw, beautiful amv xD Houtarou already having an affair |
| ... |
| So looks like the mystery this time was the question of how they were going to get out, without causing a commotion for the shrine visitors and/or misunderstanding towards them by Chitanda's family and family's friends which are the shrine caretakers. Although I still think the fastest way out with the least damage (at least considering Oreki's initial destructive ideas) was to shout and call for help, and then explain the situation later. I can't tell if Chitanda's too considerate or not: not asking Oreki why they were at the shed before entering, to considering her family's relation with the shrine's caretakers if rumors were to spread amongst the people around who hear of this that were not explained about the situation due to a simple mishap. After thinking about it some more, perhaps Chitanda's idea to hold Oreki back was a good one after all. If they shouted for help, the commotion among the shrine visitors would definitely arouse rumors (of the only daughter of a wealthy family having improper relations with a man--unbecoming of a lady). And even if their situation were to be explained to the shrine caretakers, it would normally stop there and not explained to anyone else, which would most definately affect Chitanda's family's business with their business partners in the management of their farmlands. ...although I don't think Chitanda would have though this far ahead in that short time right before she covered Oreki's mouth. |
| Remember to never forget your cell phone, folks. Or if you are locked in a dark place with a cute girl, pretend that you have forgotten! |
| It was just so epic how only the both of them knew what it meant. |
| Pretty nice episode! Trapped like a rat. A sappy new year to you too Houtarou. ;) Only one more to go. Nooooo!!1 |
 |

| A cliche locekd-in-shed-moment but .. with no romance. :( Overall, vary cute episode! Chitanda basicly asked Oreki out, kinda! :D They where so cute. :3 <3 |

She probably did. I mean, she is accoustumed to this : "I'm here today representing my father. I'd be another story if it were another time or place" Because it's not only "having improper relations with a man", it's "having improper relations with a man, while representing the family"... There is a limit to the amount of shame an old japanese family can tolerate ;) That would mean : a) she doesn't care about the shrine, because the was fooling around with a guy (from a low class family with that) instead of paying properly her respects b) she represent her family a+b => her family doesn't care about the shrine |

| It was cute when Houtarou checked out Erus kimono in front of her while she just smiled at him. But being trapped and not warming each other up? That was weird.^^ Also, Houtarou was using a lot of energy there. I mean he could just have waited at the shrine as in "saving energy" or so + he wanted to shout again and destroy that shed.. Eru's slowly changing that lazy man. Is it my imagination or did Eru smile a little bit before she explained Houtarou that the situation would lead to "the wrong idea"? However, nice episode. Satoshi got finally the chance to "solve" a "mystery" on his own.^^ And good to see him as well as Ibara again. We might never get a EruxHoutarou happy ending but it's still all over the place that there is something between them.^^ |
 |
| At first, I thought this was going to be another Oreki x Chitanda episode with nothing but decent conversations...but It turned out to be a good episode :D I liked how they managed Oreki and Chitanda's development...and Oreki had many cute gestures this ep lol Last ep next week... Hyouka, I will miss you T_T |
| Great moments between these two.. such attraction ^^ |
  |
| Oreki was sooo MacGyver'ish, when he was looking through that stuff in the shack. I could almost here the series' theme. |
 |
| Hahaha, funny moment when Satoshi opened the shed and said " Sappy new year" to Oreki. Mayaka looks great in that shrine maiden get-up, as well as Chitanda in her kimono. Last episode of Hyouka next week, can't wait for it to air, but its going to be sad when it ends. |
 |
| I'm quite relieved this series is finally coming to an end. Means KyoAni can move onto another project and leave this waste of time and money behind. The series had me sold at the episode 10 mark but it's gradually got worse to the point where I just want it to end. Eru is infuriating. Really cant stand her character over Mayaka who is actually a character with depth instead of a twinkling pair of eyes with a moe body attached. Waiting to get some flak but thats my genuine opinion of this series as a whole over the last couple of episodes. |
