| The next episode has the characters visit a spa. The episode title is "True Colors". I THINK THERE WILL BE PERVERTS... is what I'd like to think. "th...they're rose-colored?!" |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| A pretty valid reason for her to get angry. A teacher was it wrong even though he doesn't give anyone the chance to prove it. Meh, I liked it, but it was a pretty boring mystery. Hopefully it'll pick up next time! Looks like a ghost mystery eh? |

| Next episode might be fan service, but so far there has been none and I guess they'll keep it that way. I could be mistaken, but Houtarou did refer to Chitanda as a soul mate when she said that it was to preserve energy. I'm looking forward to the next episode, the main reason I watch this is still animation quality though. |

Maddo_scientisto said: No, it really isn't.Anger is a feeling and just like any other feeling, it can be hard to understand and put into word. Maddo_scientisto said: No. 99% of the time, anyone will be able to give you at least SOME kind of reason for why they like they like something.If I ask you why you like something I do not expect you to give me logical reason where the obvious outcome will be that you like it. Maddo_scientisto said: You're trying too hard. It usually just boils down to something happening that you don't like.The same goes for anger, even though sometime it's obvious, sometime it's the result of a lot of factor your brain can't process into a logical procedure. Maddo_scientisto said: False. Saying you can't analyze a certain feeling because it may be connected to another is complete nonsense. Feelings are connected, whether you want them to be or not.Try to toroughly analyze all your feeling and their cause, most of the time you will not be able to stir up any logical conclusion on the case without relying on other feeling which will also rely on other feeling only to realise that in the end, you couldn't explain anything logicaly. |

Maybe because I just found it absurd and stupid to search for why the math teacher got something wrong and why she get angry to begin with... (you know, it's normal for teachers to make mistakes) Next week looks interesting (not for the fanservice, I hope it's a mystery about ghost :P) Kleeny, you didn't get it, do you? The main thing about this episode was not A and D and finding the reason behind getting angry, it was more Oreki's uncovering a bit of the mystery called "Chitanada Eru." The whole point of the episode was said at 22:13.00. @shanimebib beat me to it - this show is not primarily about the mysteries the club solves. They are just the vehicle delivering what the real story is about. It's certainly no action/adventure or comedy, but I find it really entertaining. |
 |
| Nice, now I can finally drop this horrid show |
 |
| Cool. Hot springs episode next. There's always one (or a beach episode) |
 |
Lately said: Nice, now I can finally drop this horrid show Glad we could help. Wouldn't want you to continue watch something you found horrid just because nobody told you ;) |
|
| if it is revealed that Chitanada's an alien from outer space in the end of the show, that'll definitely be worth waiting for 20+ eps! but no seriously, i donno why ppl find this girl cute (Mayaka's way cuter imo), she's a real pain in the ass if you think about it.. |
| Chitanda is one cute girl. One damn cute girl. |

| I really just watch because of Houtarou, omg I love him ;A; Chitanda can be as annoying as me, and it's like 'omg is dat even possible!!1' |
 |
| Is it just me or the voice of Oreki was different? And as always, I understand nothing. |

The whole point of the episode was said at 22:13.00. A great episode to my liking. It was quite easy to catch the mistake on A and D as soon as Satoshi mentioned he was in class 1-D and they had the domains of quadratic equation covered, I figured it out. But I absolutely loved the way the power of imagination demonstrated while Chitanda was telling the scenario. And the angel-like Chitanda and the mini-angel-like Chitanda-tachi with their curiosity as seen by Oreki were splendid. Too bad. Oreki thought he had found his soul mate there. :P And I said this before, I am saying it again, the ED is so adorable. I can watch it like over and over and over again and still watch it all over again! :) 5/5 But still, it was the episode I enjoyed the least. And I wished they try to make a better mystery that would actually really interest Chitanda, but I guess they want to tell us that Chitanda is just interested in every trivial thing. |
| I can't describe how little I care about the things that happen to them each week. Math teacher couldn't read his handwriting and there was 3 minutes of uproar in class? Wouldn't even qualify as an answer to 'Did anything happened at school today?' At this point I'm wishing they would talk about chocolate cornettes and how to eat them |
| That was pretty pointless for a mystery. This series is lucky it has KyoAni animating it so the mundane stuff are converted to something more interesting. If you pick it apart, there's really nothing at the core. Well at least the storytelling is good enough to prevent me from getting bored. |
| This episode was... strange. I'm surprised that a whole 20 or so minutes were spent discussing why someone got angry over some simple mistake where nothing really happened when the person got angry. |
Dalek-baka said: zeroyuki92 said: LOL @ people that still expecting mystery from Hyouka. Hyouka is a story about adolescence, and mostly slice of life. Get your expectation right before watching Hyouka, since you can only expect average to great "mystery" from main story arcs. Mystery is a plot device for Hyouka, not the main theme. So there are some RIGHT expectations :D since when? I was expecting mystery show and it fails at this. In returns it gives a decent SoL story about one guy who is lazy but hides it under some philosophy - at least he starts to be more active, that's nice. Not that i was expecting too much from it (since it's KyoAni) That's the same point as the point that I want to convey. You are expecting mystery, and gets more slice of life rather than the actual mystery. Since many people tend to look down at slice of life, disappointment is natural for Hyouka. It's the same thing like...expecting Fate/Zero to be a shounen show with a ton of cool fights, gets a lot of talk instead, and getting disappointed. Different expectation can kill enjoyment. But well, sometimes it could also be a good thing. Like expecting Madoka to be a pretty typical magical girls story, and get the usual Gen Urobuchi's story instead... Most people like it. |
| Still waiting for a romance development between Chitanda and Oreki . Waitingggggggggggggg |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| This was probably the most pointless episode I've ever seen in an anime. It's a filler so trivial and forgettable that I can't imagine why kyoani adapted it. I mean, how could you forget something unusual that happened to you a few hours ago? And seriously, that "mystery" didn't require any kind of answer because it's a simple case of a person blaming others for his own mistakes and not realizing it, of course anyone would get angry. And in the next episode hot springs. Cool, because I was pretty bored of anime that try to be original, it's better rehash the same hackneyed cliches over and over again. |

| The simplest mysteries are those that attract me most in this anime. I'm in love with this series. |
 |
| lol'd at the Chitanda angel part. Otherwise, episode was meh. |
| I love how they can make a full episode of beauty out of a trivial matter. It was simply brilliant. Chitanda is dangerously cute when she gets interested in something. And Houtarou finding his soul mate was brilliant. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
So, this episode is all about Chitanda wanting to know why she got mad and a senile teacher? I hate Chitanda!!!!!!! |
| Honestly I was kinda disappointed in this episode....Why would Chitanda be soo interested in such a pointless thing as to why her teacher mixed up lessons? Felt like she made a big thing out of nothing x.x |
ElessaR88 said: Zyrocz said: The solution to the problem was a long shot based on the information given. Why would a math teacher write A as a and D as d in this context? Weakest episode so far. I like how they only have small everyday mysteries, but it definately need plot development too. Because math problems, you don't type unknowns in uppercases, so as a math teacher that becomes a habit. This. Check any mathematics textbook. Variables, which are by far the most common reason to use letters in math, are always lower case, and vertices of polygons/angles are always uppercase. Still, when you think of letter usage in math, you would definitely think variables first. |

Because math problems, you don't type unknowns in uppercases, so as a math teacher that becomes a habit. As is my habit, though I didn't think to attribute it to that until just now - I have degrees in physics and math, and yes I rarely print in upper case. And I've had that exact same thing happen to me - if I'm not careful I mix up my a's and d's. |
|
| I didn't like the mystery in this episode... It seems so simple... Either way, I liked the Sekitani Jun plot, hope there's more of that... |
| Ive liked every episode up til this point. However, i found this episode boring on all counts. |

| *hoping the next episode is better than this episode* |
Lately said: Nice, now I can finally drop this horrid show *shrug* you never know it might get better and you might miss out. but its up to you, so do what you feel is best fo you :) |
 |
| Okay, this episode was pretty damn boring. And how the hell can you forget why you were angry the same day you got angry? LOL. |
| I see dead people. |
| I love this show. I found myself enthralled even though the episode had practically no direction. It was literally just a problem out of nowhere, but it was still written and animated in a way that made me want to know more. I didn't realize until today that Hyouka is essentially an anime slice-of-life version of Sherlock Holmes. I'm a sucker for mystery. |
 |
| That awkward when you´re catolic and Chitanda knows seven deadly sins and you don´t lol. Anyway, awesome episode, haven´t laught this much for a wilhe. I have though that the teacher have mistaken the class before Oreki, so it made me feel smart :3 But Chitanta doesn´t need to uderstant ever thing, it´s normal to be angry :~~ |
 |
| I liked this episode a lot more than the last one and I think this has made me figure out something. I don't watch this show for the mysteries because lets face it they are pretty damn boring mysteries (and are pretty damn easy to solve*) . So when the show goes off on the mysteries and just basically does a huge info dump I find myself losing interest. However, when the show is how this episode mostly was I enjoy the series. The fun for me comes from the character interactions and the characters just basically having fun with each other and talking about regular things ( I particularly enjoyed how they were ragging on each other), instead of dry boring mysteries. I guess I just like when they display their traits (and lets face Chitanda was too cute for anyone not to at least have a little enjoyment watching this ep). *Man this weeks mystery was really easy though, the fact that he checked the sign should've been a dead give away that he mixed up the classes. I thought Houtaru was better than that. |
| Okay this mystery was just laaaame. Also, being that curious should be the 8th deadly sin, god. |
