Awesome ep.

Glad to see Oreki is starting to get attracted to Chitanda.

And damnit, Mayaka is just so cute.

Lol at Oreki's reactions to Eru "I'm glad we took this trip" "i wish we hadn't"; they really are opposites, but there is always that saying about opposites :P

Also lol at when Oreki's eyes lost color due to shock after Eru said she went to Morning radio exercises till the second year of middle school
Indeed. Opposites make the best couples imo. Kind of goes against the typical couple that has a lot of things in common, but opposites just have so much to share and learn from each other in a relationship which is why I hope Chitanda and Oreki get together by the end of the show.

I'm completely okay with the Oreki service to be honest, and the censorship killed me. The little kid talking to his grandpa was hilarious.

Good to see Oreki has hormones after all. Once again, loved the episode. The mysteries are never that amazing, nor is anything over the top. That's what makes hyouka enjoyable for me. It feels real

As usual, animation is one of the best i've seen, the motion animation of chitanda in the onsen was epic

the art is really top notch.like when chitanda was walking under the dappled sunlight of those trees and the animator took the time to cast the light across her face and hair.that would of taken ages to get right.

And what Tapanda said about the anatomy earlier, right on the money.they took the time to draw muscles on the body where they actually belong.

I ship Chitanda and Houtarou so hard.
And Houtarou is like... the perfect character. OKAY?
HOUTAROU IS PERFECT ; A ;

And once again... their art is flawless. It's really impressive that they can maintain such high quality visuals considering that they only have a week to make each episode in time.

I've come to the conclusion that Houtarou listens to post-rock. Plain grey v neck, slim dark grey pants, shaggy hair, doesn't like anything too upbeat. I'd make a band with him.

While within that part Houtarou’s meaning of cherry can be a double meaning as simply eating or a keen foreshadow he will try to claim out Eru’s innocence, cherry representing that in some cases?


This is pretty interesting. I was little curious myself about the cherry. I thought it was just to look more interesting for him to eat :P. I am 50/50 about it foreshadowing. It does seem to be placed intentionally to go with the relationship tension, shown in this episode, between the two characters.

Dammit... That is so smart if that is actually intentional...

Oreki, I don't blame you. Chitanda was stunning in this ep.

Nice loophole around using censors during the changing rooms.

Wow, this series is still amazing. It's not my normal type of series, but I really like it. I love the art and the music (including the OP and ED). I really do like the mystery. It's always so simple, yet complex at the same time. Oreki is still a genius. And Chitanda is adorable. I like her more and more each episode. I'm really glad there are some many episodes left.

The Chitanda X Oreki relationship continues to involve every week. I wonder if either of them would actual admit feelings for each other at the end. Can't wait to see what happens. Gonna be an awesome summer.

Huhu.. My theory was very far from Oreki's... Tsk tsk. His thought process and observational skills are really amazing. And I am glad to see another side of him. Blushing and being shy.. that was unexpected..:)

I feel sorry for Oreki (don't care if the MC's like each other or not). He reminds me of Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya always getting led around by a strong willed girl. I'm just glad Chitanda isn't pushy AND tsundere.

Oreki's face after Chitanda said something about morning exercises lmbo!

I kinda wish Chitanda didn't see the sisters getting along though. Innocence is refreshing and all but knowing someone who lives in a constant state of blissful naivete is sometimes exhausting.

Wow, I loved this episode - didn't bore me at all, this anime is starting to grow on me.
And the 'fanservice' was nicely done (Houtarou..). I think adding a bit of romance (hopefully later on) would help to give the series some 'spice'.

Well, Houtarou did imagine Eru with a tail in an earlier episode, and then a spirit in another, so it sort of fits ;)

There was like pretty much no fanservice here even though it was a hot spring episode. Chitanda did get more moe this episode though.

I think I detect some romantic feelings brewing up for Houtarou.

It's hard to say whether Chitanda has feelings for Oreki. She seems rather touchy but apparently only to him. Perhaps she's the stubborn one.

Again, simply beautiful and brilliant animation. The mystery was a bit trivial like the last time but I can overlook that by the amazing execution. I was sure that it was something related to siblings. Still, I could never analyze things as far as Oreki does! The best part is surely Oreki's imagination going wild. It's always great to see more explicit Oreki x Chitanda moments; it's usually very subtle, which is quite beautiful in its own way.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

It was an okay episode (plot-wise), though the colouring was gorgeous! And fan service of Houtarou and Chitanda's bodies? XD

I am seeing more of Houtarou X Chitanda now! I am guessing the reason why Houtarou fainted was partly because of Chitanda? XD

Whilst I was watching the previous few episodes, I was thinking "wow, a good anime with no fan service". I mean, even in shots which could have been easily fan-service, like Chi-chan bending over, they chose angles and wardrobe to make it not seem ecchi. That alone set this anime apart, that it felt so confident that it totally ignored the ecchi card (take that, horny otakus! we're Serious Business!).

...but then along comes the onsen episode!

Surprisingly though, they did nudity without being ecchi. I mean, even when he passed out thinking about the girl, it wasn't a noseblood scene. Also, it was interesting that she apparently wanted it to be a mixed bath.

The story was good as usual and his "luck" at figuring things out holds true.

Very fascinating series, I can see why this flavour of ice cream is so popular...

Good episode. Though I think it's kind of depressing that I'm seeing some people write off this episode as a "fanservice episode" when you actually saw very little of that and what you saw wasn't particularly obvious. What we got out of this episode is that Oreki is becoming increasingly "aware" of Chitanda and her wanting a sibling. I loved the scene at the end there, btw.

I liked the first 10 minutes before the mystery part came in.
There definitely wasn't enough fanservice in this episode.
With art and animation this beautiful I'd like to see more fanservice.
No ecchi shows look this good.

Also, those two need to kiss.
