Puberty and Siblings. Not like that you pervs. Ep 6.

Plot: As thanks for helping her with her Famly issue, Chitanda invites Oreiki and co to a hot spring. THere's fun, games, and fanservice. But when ghost stories start up, it's time for Oreiki: Ace detective to solve the problem. Turns out it was just an issue between siblings.

Character: Once again we get a bit more on Chitanda. Being an only child and a curious one at that, she has an ideal version of siblings in her head. Her seeing the slight differences actual siblings had may dampen her spirits but she can still see the strong family tie between them.

Poor Oreiki. His hormones are acting up. Fainting just at the hint of Chitanda in a hot spring. Lol. Plus his own situation with his sister reminds us that while siblings have adversity and strong differences, they do still care about the other.

Animation/sound: The fanservice was tasteful and wonderfully tantalizing. It was actually more on the male's side being shown off than the girls. Plus Mayaka didn't get that kinda scene at all. But since it was from Oreiki's imagination, there's a good reason for that.

THe old style fantasy scroll animation is always a delight to watch. And the scene where Chitanda stands in the shadow of the twilight was wonderful not just for looks but for thinking.

4/5. I gave it an extra couple of points for the fan service. DOn't judge me.

A hot springs episode where they didn't take every chance to objectify the girls?
I'm proud of you Hyouka, you showed a lot of restraint today :p

Well, this was probably the best ep so far, nice theme. Still nowehere near perfection. I really dislike how overdramatic everything is... Music is beautiful, but often it completely doesn't fit.

In this episode: Oreki imagines Chitanda naked and gets a boner so severe that he literally passes out.

That bit of hilarity aside, this was easily the most engaging little mystery of the series so far. My enjoyment is increasing with each episode.

Chitanda was hoping for a mixed bath lol and I knew it was the sister somehow from the start.
I'm glad in the end the sisters actually got along

Onsen episode without fanservice ? Bold move which I approve.

Had to smile when Chitanda saw that the siblings get along after all.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Houtarou passing out while thinking of Chitanda naked was priceless.

Chitanda wanted a mixed bath. That's bold of her.

An interesting episode. The mystery was quite easy to follow, which is good. A nice outcome, always satisfyingly mundane.

I'm glad that they didn't use the onsen setting as an excuse for heavy fanservice. There actually wasn't any really - something that I'm pretty sure only KyoAni would do. It is honestly refreshing.

This anime is certainly growing on me. Which is good because I've really wanted to like it from the start.

I'm not a big fan of mysteries and that stuff but the animation of this show is good I just can' drop it, the only character I like is Hotarou the other two are really typical and Chitanda's just gets on my nerves.

Another mystery that was rather easy to solve, no netheless it was fun watching them doing it. KyoAni teasing scenes are just so pleasing to the eye.

Oreki being hit by the hormones truck was quite funny to watch if I'm honest.

Nice episode overall. Definitely way more entertaining than the previous one. Heartwarming final scene by the way.

The animation/art in this episode was outstanding (duh). From the first scene with the lady bug to the fanservice to the shadow scenes. I also like the clever ways the episode censors Hotaru's nether region

Oreki desiring Chitanda's body proves he's actually a human being, and not some 'I don't wanna do anything unnecessary' drone.

lmao Houtarou actually succumbed to the horny and past out. Chitanda is most definitely the dudes kryptonite in every way xD
I respect that though, guys got there needs.
Bit of a spook story but non the less great detective skills from Hotarou and a more SOL episode

“The yukata was wet” 10/10 mystery solving

I do like how chitanda thought about the two sisters’ relationship after all that. What a kindred soul

Now while i am pretty bored still, you got to give credit where it’s due, and once again kyotoani delivers with its signature yet partly unique art style for this series, they never cease to amaze

Well, guess all my worrying was for nothing. They actually made a "hot springs" episode almost without fanservice. Though seeing Houtarou passing out imagining naked Chitanda is fulfilling nonetheless. Ladies and gentlemen, the guy has libido.

Oh, and the mystery solving was clever as always.

The hot springs episode finally comes in

A ghost story haunts them while a hanging shadow the two girls witnessed in the other annex It's up to Oreki to solve the mystery again

Pretty good analysis yet again by Oreki he would be a great detective his investigating skills really are showing something else or just the fact that he's lazy and just lucky.

Was hoping for more horror but it was nice. I wish Oreki went to the ghost stories group, would have loved for this episode to be around that.

Lovely episode.

:D Oreki can't help himself when it comes to Chitanda. Getting KO'd in the bath, then being visited by her... When will Chitanda realize how she's tormenting the dude (with her innocence)?

Again, failed to decipher the mystery this episode, though I knew it had to be related to a girl in a yukata at night, the one Oreki saw.

Chitanda is adorable as always. For a moment her expectations about sibling-relationships shattered, but the final scene was so reassuring. Indeed, sibling relationship isn't that simple. They may not share everything all the time (some privacy, duuh) but doesn't mean they don't get along or hate each other (of course this varies).
