This part was cool. Hope for more Oreki x Chitanda in the future :)
The little fan service was great, can't wait for the HD release in 2013!

Chitanda was hot and the horrible video quality and those huge kanji had to ruin it.

Of all the things I don't want to see in a kyoani anime, this ova had all of them: a dull and boring fanservice episode, annoying characters, dumb plot and set in a swimming pool. If this was featured in the main series, I would have dropped its rating by one point, regardless of how future developments would turn out.

2/10

The moment the guy sat next to the girl when the mentioned ice cream, I did NOT think it was cream at that point..

And then they had to mention it at the end, LOL.

I didn't think the episode was that great...

It was obvious that it wasn't an earring. But this was just a special, so I guess I should take it too much to heart.

this was actually cute. ~~ great ova, it was as well made as the anime.

btw, i disliked chitanda's bikini... she's so white and looked like a ghost. :c

This! A more colorful bikini would have been better.

Btw nice ova, thank gosh there was no ecchi because it was clearly an episode fanservice. 7/10

I love how Oreki is just naturally awkward. Though, I'm quite disappointed with the mystery this time around. I figured it out very early on compared to the previous ones.

I watched it as a LQ rip by mazui. It was barely watchable. pixels everywhere and permanent water marks blocks the view. regardless of that, they should have thought of a better mystery for them to solve. it was too plain and simple. ill definitely re watch it again when it have a proper release just to see chitanda on a bikini.

That horrible quality... Me eyes are sad. Especially because it was a fanservice episode :/

It was an okay episode. The mystery was way too easy. The fanservice parts were good, and I'm happy KyoAni didn't go overboard. It was funny to see Oreki checking out Chitanda the whole time :D
I didn't like how depressed Oreki was. It was understandable since it was after ep11 though, but to put him in that condition into a special fanservice episode wasn't really the best idea imo, it needed way more life.

So yeah, for these I'm gonna give it a 6/10.

I can handle any amount of fanservice.
I would've preferred more.
Houtarou and Chitanda just need to hug or kiss.
Can't handle the sexual tension.

I thought It was a Filler Episode because the Title of the video had "Hyouka 11.5" but when I checked again on my list because I had the Hyouka OVA listed down on "Plan to watch" and I realized, Episode 11.5 is the OVA.

So anyways, I finished It and Its mainly about Houtarou having a small job as a Lifeguard at a Pool while his friends came along. As far as mysteries go, the Ice Cream was really easy to figure out. But It seems this OVA shows a little romantic hint between Houtarou and Chintanda. And I like how Houtarou is constantly checking her out. Which makes me think he has something for her (Kinda knew that since Episode 7). I expected at least a hug or even kiss, but that didn't happen. The OVA is pretty okay I guess.

Oreki sneaking glances at Chitanda was just too funny.

Not much of a mystery but I don't think that was the point of the episode. Oreki overcame his slump and is back to his old self! ^^ It wasn't as good as other Hyouka episodes but it's certainly something I wouldn't have minded watching as a main ep in the series. Oh well.

ok so the life guard at the end threw the hat and it landed on oreki's head . that was so impressive

It was a cute little filler.

Damn, all dat fanservice... Houtarou isn't the only one that was aroused out there xD

Chitanda can make him do whatever she want so easily :P
Houtarou is slowly changing, even though he kinda went back because of the last episode. But I think that what Mayaka told him gave him a good shock, and she was right.

There is two tsundere in that show, Mayaka and Houtarou : ''I don't want any flattery...'', yeah, yeah, keep saying that xD

Just saying but that translation is as wrong as it can get. 持つべきものは is from the saying 持つべきものは友だち roughly meaning "things to have are friends" so 持つべきものは is "things to have" most likely referring to the saying about friends.

Our obligatory swimsuit episode, I see ... we finally see a little of Houtarou's sister! :3 Which results in him doing some work eh ... a bit of fanservice with the swimsuits, but not too much. Yeah, he WAS pretty quiet, even for him ... so I guess the others had to find a way to get him to loosen up a bit eh? Though I gotta say that "mystery" was kinda lame XD Oh well, and even Chitanda admits that he's special to her (the other two too, of course ;P) ... loads of "embarrassing can't spit it out" moments lol XD
Pretty enjoyable, but nothing amazingly special. Of course, the awesome animation and music (dat intro cello hnnnggg *_*) was great ;D Back to the main series I go! 7/10

Tasteful fanservice.

This is how every fanservice episodes/OVA should be done for every non-Ecchi shows. It doesn't violate the characters in any way and it leaves some for your imagination. Good stuff.

Also, damn Chitanda is so pale. If she wore a black bikini, it would have been the end of me.
