Ajunky said: Ahhhh... annoying subtitles, WTF... I'll be back after it's release by a group that pays attention. I found a good one. It just took a while, some major patience and bing lol. Weird that the site that had a well timed dub was the one I thought least likely to have it lol. I liked this episode less than I liked the first but it was still enjoyable. LOVE the bed-head lol. I think I mainly didn't like the new girl was my problem. But meh meeby she will grow on me. While not the most stellar episode I've ever watched, I'm not threatning to drop this like I am Zetman. |

| still enjoying this alot something about this show that makes my brain hurt but still entertained at the same time,and as for the people that find Eru way to pushy i agree with that (hell if it was me since i find my personality close to that of Oreki in which i'm quite lazy and don't like when people bother me to that extent haha) theres just something abnormal about her besides the eyes! nobody is that pushy so i wouldn't say i find her annoying unless by the end of the series there was no explanation as to why she acts how she does which i expect to happen. |
 |
| There's definitely nothing special about the characters so far, but the little mysteries intrigue me. I will keep watching for now. The art and animation are also beautiful. I really wonder what Chitanda's confession is... |
| Love the animation in this show, it'll probably end up as one of my favorites this season. Everybody's likeable in one way or another, and it's actually possible to follow the process of solving the mystery (unlike so many other shows in this genre). There's a real sense of logic here. Hoping to see romantic development in this series, even if it takes precedence to the actual mysteries. The ending seems to be pointing in that direction, though I have enough experience to know that it's all probably a big misunderstanding. I personally had no problem with the ED; I was too mesmerized by the awesome constellations and night sky to take notice of the girls. It's not really fanservice unless you're looking at the girls specifically. The OP and ED sound really awesome, will be waiting anxiously for the full versions :3 I do enjoy Choucho's works. |

| Kyaaaaaaaaa, Eru killed me again. I dznno bout the story of this anime, but if eru keeps murdering me, I don't really care. Also, she has a very cute way to intrude upon people's private space XD Oh, and Maid!Eru slaughtered me |
| 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 |
| Hyouka is looking like a really solid show. The overall atmosphere reminds me of Clannad, except replace some comedy with mystery. I'm glad KyoAni decided to choose this as their project now; LB can wait XD |
 |
| WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. KyoAni? WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That ending animation, WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. |

| Chitanda is toeing the line between cute and irritating for me. I hope that whatever her revelation is also involves her calming down a little. As for the others, I like them all. The animation in this is so good; in less action oriented series like this one it can be hard to notice good quality, but I was very happy watching characters who weren't the focus continuing to move rather than being statues. I wish every good series had the sort of budget necessary to do that, haha. Yumekichi11 said: Alxlight said: If it brings money and eventual Clannad and Angel Beats, should you not be happy about it? If you have a better way to make $$$ off anime in general then by all means but TBH I bitch too at fan service but in thee end it's really venting because there is nothing you can do about it. My BLOG is the best example of fan service going rather adult extreme. So yeah be happy that $$$ is coming cause that is what it takes to make anime. Does that make sense.I'm pretty disappointed in how fetishistic the ED is. Guess there's just going to be fan service in every show Japan puts out nowadays, no matter the content. I just feel bad for female audience in going down since some girls fan service in anime is a no to watch right away. I can deal with fanservice- Chobits was one of the first anime I completed (and that was when I was 11 or 12), and for a while I really enjoyed yuri more than anything else- but I find it a little depressing that it seems that anime creators feel that even stuff that is very high quality needs fanservice to sell. That said, I'm okay with the ED for this. It seems innocent enough to me. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |

Then this series might do something like that. A mystery that threatens lives to the point that solving it might get the characters hurt.Glad they're finally getting some kind of plot in this show, but seeing how the past two episodes already went and this is a 21 episode series, I'm definitely expecting more episodes of high school students solving extremely mundane "mysteries" before they get to dealing with a mystery that's probably not very mysterious at all. And where might this pv be? I've watched two of them and see no sign of any "monster" whatsoever. |

| Great episode. well i guess its not her..no its not "Love feelings" she going to confess. |

| Dammit, Mayaka Ibara is just too cute! Same seiyuu as Menma as well!! <3 |
| wow, once again, STUNNING VISUALS i dont know why, but the mystery-solving theme is REALLY hooking me in. i hope they get into deep sherlock holmes kinds of mysteries. houtaro just has that knack for mystery-solving, and of course, eru is there to push him. cant wait to see mayak's and satoshi's roles develop more, as well and wow, only the 2nd ep and eru's already confessing to houtaro? something tells me she's going to say something otherwise at the beginning of the next ep x] definitely a favorite anime of this season so far |

| I CAN'T SIT THROUGH THIS ANYMORE I AM GOING TO DIE OF BOREDOM. I'm outta here~ |
| ERU'S CONFESSION THOUGH......... WHAT IS IT.......... |
| don't save her, she don't wanna be saved. |
| Better than previous episode.... Still not much plot... Anyway this is so much MOE and ART direction is incredible.... 4/5 |

I only know of one preview.. if you happen to find it again, please let me know:) @episode: I'm curious! I really like this anime so far, hope that the real 'mystery' will really be interesting. edit: I always find it amusing how people want to rate the whole anime based on 1 or 2 episodes. Sometimes anime take a few episodes until they are really good or get you hooked. |

Great episode. I enjoy the mystery solving a lot. And what's the confession about? Can't wait for next one. |

A slow episode means you drop an entire experience, only after seeing 10% of it. It makes no sense to do that. If you've watched it for 2 episodes, you can watch it for one more. I always watch 25% of any anime I'm "on-the-fence" on, before deciding what to do. If you drop it before even 10% has gone by, I really don't think you should be watching anime in the first place - or be talking on a site where people spend A LOT of time on anime. Agreed; people like this piss me off also; they are judging the entire series on two episodes T_T; these kinda people are likely the kinda people who drop shows like Steins; Gate thinking it never got better O_O Exactly. Steins;Gate is a perfect example. |
| reminds me of bungaku shoujo... |
 |
| Another great episode. Nothing major has happened plot-wise but it still is very entertaining, I'm sure it'll get better. Seriously loving the art/graphics of this Anime. Chitanda Eru is so freaking cute and how typical of her being an airhead. :P Gotta love how Ibara teases Oreki and such. That last scene with Chitanda and Oreki at the cafe was nice. <3 What's the confession eh? :S 5/5 |

Steins;Gate being the perfect example, anime like Gosick and Fate/Zero fall into this category too. |

As for Hyouka, it's not usually the kind of anime I like anyway. Reeelaxx~ |
| So it's not going to be episodic in nature. That's great. |
 |
| Better than the first ep. Love the relation between Oreki and Chitanda and the chemistry between all the characters. Eru is just too curious and too cute. Great animation and directing as usual. And that Ed is too moe. Note: I hope people who dropped this just based on the first few episodes will regret their decision. Hope KyoAni can make it more interesting and surprise us |
| It's was amazing but the plot twist at the end was obvious |

"Why didn't you drop it already after the 2nd episode you fucking retard?!" That's how you do it anyway. This is not directed to glitchhunter, obviously. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| I didn't find it boring at all. I wonder what Chitanda's confession is. |
 |
| I'll try rewatching this during the day and see if i won't fall asleep after half for 3rd time. First half of episode was kinda interesting but very slow, maybe it's just not a good idea to watch it during night. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| I bet she will just say"I am curious about you" to Hotarou since it is too early for a confession although things can work that way too. |
 |
| The mystery was once again kinda boring. But towards the end it was gotten interesting with Eru's confession. (Maybe her confession will lead to another mystery?) |
| Entertaining. Chitanda Eru SUPER DUPER ULTRA CUTE. Chitanda/5. |

| Actually got me thinking and pause quite a lot of time to read the subs carefully. I remember doing the same when watching Gosick and Case Closed. I think I will like this and the characters. Even though I usually hate Eru's character type, she is actually likeable probably because of the added moe by KyoAni, yeah probably it. |
| This show is getting more and more disappointing with it's annoying half-baked characters (that new tsundere was pretty bad). All this show has for it going is it's great art. |

Xionic said: This show is getting more and more disappointing with it's annoying half-baked characters (that new tsundere was pretty bad). All this show has for it going is it's great art. Then please stop watching this show. The character imo is the number one reason to watch this. There's no point of watching if you already hate them. |
| "Hyouka: You can't escape": I'm beginning to suspect that the subheading refers to Chitanda's possessive attitude towards Houtaro. Despite her airhead appearance it is heavily hinted at a more complex subtext especially with her constantly mentioning some "personal reasons". I also liked her notion how knowledge could be divided into knowlegde about different parts and knowledge about how the whole system works. It is more than the sum of its parts, indeed. Anyways, the characters have great chemistry and the dialogue sounds really natural because of that. I sense a hint of mournfulness concerning Houtaro despite his tough exterior, a feeling that probably comes from the distance he feels between himself and the people surrounding him. |

| So Mayaka likes Satoshi but for some reason she can't stand Houtarou. It was nice seeing her jealous at the end though. She'll be a entertaining new member to the cast. I think Eru wants him to solve that personal matter she was referring to earlier. I don't think it's the love confession Houtarou expects it to be. |
