Mastermind995 said: huntx said: i know ppl watch whole mirai nikki, madoka magica and giving it 5/10 and 3/10 for stupid reasons and at end they say its unwatchable. So let them express their opinions(mine too), if you don't like it and don't know how to deal with them, just ignore. I never would have imagine that there is actually a person who does not enjoy mirai nikki or madoka.Tell me there stupid reasons why they didnt enjoy the shows? Again, there are valid reasons to not like the series. You have to understand people have their own tastes. For instance, I finished the Mirai Nikki manga while it was ongoing and it was enough for me. Didn't want anything to do with the anime. At least the anime ending was better than the manga's. I didn't enjoy Madoka (i.e. average series for me at best). It doesn't matter how psychological or how subliminal the themes are (I could read all those SHAFT scripts just fine), it just doesn't interest me (both the characters and the premise are uninteresting, I was so bored and detached from the series that I honestly didn't give a damn about any of the characters) I must have felt what KB felt (i.e. nothing) about the entire ordeal. So I was pretty disappointed. The difference between Eru (so far) and Haruhi is that Eru shoves it in your face. Haruhi just makes it happen. Both are quite eccentric at best and extremely annoying at worst. LonerGoth said: I love how this series seems to be a big FUCK YOU to everyone on the internet that goes on and on about story, progression, character development and seriousness and misery. A good show doesn't need those things to SELL! Sadly, that's the reality with many series. The "good" part is subjective though. Also, it's too soon to say ti doesn't have a story nor progression. So far, people have been hyping it due to animation, "because it's KyoAni", the Clannad VA cast and because supposedly Chitanda is moe. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| In my opinion, haruhi is more aggressive that eru. I pity kyon at times =.= |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |

So I was pretty disappointed. Never said Mirai Nikki is materpiece, its good anime, and not to be ignored, underrated. You are right about Madoka, but its not where the anime shines, it shine on how the story is being told there are very few which can throw premises at first episodes and maintain those till the end, making perfect sense, Madoka is one of best at this. What i was saying is that, some people just ignore all this, come to forums after watching all, tell us its pure shit, unwatchable... much worse than someone come here telling hes dropping it because it doesn't suit his taste(boring for him), or already got many animes on his watching list. End. Hyouka Only the last 5-6 mins of the episode 2 was interesting. Lets see what happens next. |
 |
| ....Did you know that haruhi forced kyon to stay overnight in school just to complete some internet website / etc . Isn't that worse ? I don't hate the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya , I even rated it a 9/10 . I'm just saying when it comes to forceful, haruhi wins it all or the world is going down >.> |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| Nothing special but pretty solid. ED is unfitting. Main character was being an ass, somewhat. Lazy people like that are useless. I may start disliking him and that's something I really didn't want to do. wakka9ca said: It's hard to give a damn about one dimensional generic mass produced characters fresh out of the factory.I didn't enjoy Madoka (i.e. average series for me at best).

If he wants to go home, let him go home, don't be a bully! Not to mention he was in the middle of reading and she chucks the book right in front of his vision, goodness. She's not cute, she's selfish and irritating. Have you watch The Melancholy of Haurhi Suzumiya ? Go watch that and you will see how good is Chitanda compared to Haruhi . The difference of irritating/annoying/selfish is kinda big. I'm sure you will be flipping tables in that series if you can't handle chitanda in Hyouka . Yes, I've seen that anime and I must say, while I'm not fond of tsundere characters (with the exception of Makise Kurisu) I still much prefer Haruhi to Chitanda. Maybe there's something else about Chitanda that I can't stand which I've yet to figure out what it is. On the other hand, maybe she'll grow on me as time goes on, it's only been two episodes after all. Well annoy and irritate basically mean the same thing, they're just different words. Plus I said she was selfish and irritating which means, no matter what difference they have, she has two bad traits in my opinion. |
| Nice episode, the last couple of minutes were interesting. Looking forward to next episode, animation is gorgeous. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| You expect an anime to explain why someone has incredible deductive logic, or incredible anything for that matter? I don't think I've ever seen an anime that has explained every character's 'abnormal' traits. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| That's fair, although I'm not certain he doesn't like thinking. Maybe he just doesn't like sharing his thoughts (and physically exerting himself of course), so we haven't gotten a glimpse of what's going on in his head on a regular basis. Which leads us to believe, as you said, that he's suddenly only doing deep thinking when it's mystery time. |

She's like a new haruhi . And when I meant that , I am serious, both of them have the same attitude except haruhi is more dangerous. Yeah maybe she will grow on you, so far its only 2 episodes. I guess it will take some time . |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| Chitanda is a miracle of the universe |
 |
| Eru is ...annoying, and so is Houtarou for letting himself be dragged around. (21 eps of that? idk if I'll make it). Liked the secondary chars more. Houtarou's inner brain scenario thingies are creepy and cool though and I like the way his thought process is animated. I call it the mind machine! |
| So cute... i hope a romance develops. All the characters are likeable and the plot is pretty interesting. But i hope the mysteries turn into something more seirous and entertaining to figure out instead of why did the same book get returned. |

| Worst characters I saw this season, and I saw some bad characters. Why do Chitanda and MC have to be so annoying? I already hate her face and those freaky eyes, and she's too dumb. MC's depression and attitude is even more annoying than that. The mystery was also pretty bad. I understand that the show is slice of life, but if they're doing mysteries, then make some good ones. It's like watching Blue's Clues meets K-On. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| was about to drop this show but apparent the show is finally trying to go somewhere with the plot. Okay I'm curious. |
| I just dislike the laziness of that Oreki! lol, he's being always lazy, but well that's him. |
| LOL |

It's like watching Blue's Clues meets K-On. Hmmm.... Worst characters is too harsh, but annoying maybe yes. But that personalities of the characters is what make some people love this show. Don't expect some hard core mystery. I encourage you to drop this show based on your anime list... |
| I just.. ugh.. aggravating people around here. Oreki and Chitanda are awesome MCs. |
| I forced myself to watch another episode because I felt bad for dropping this after one but I seriously regret it. Not only are those mysteries completely dumb and un-interesting but also extremely predictable. Seriously, borrwing the book for a club is the first thing that came to my mind and it took them WHOLE episode to figure it out? That was so obvious! Why the hell did they even bother? If they are so bored they should get a job or help their parents more or something. Also, how can an honour roll student in Japan be so stupid? This show just refuses to make any sense. The lack of story doesn't really help it either. That being said, I'm over this show. |
 |
| LOL confession..... |
 |
| After the purple Eyes, now the Red Eyes as well! O.o |
| Ugh I hate Chitanda she's so annoying! |
| A bit better mystery this time, but the real mystery is what Eru is going to ask Houtaru at the end of the episode! The OP and ED are fantastic!!!!! |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| CHITANDA IS SO MOEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
  |
OP is obnoxious and needs to chill out about "slutty faces" and "males looking for spice." Good lord. Chitanda is still obnoxious. (Main character guy has the right idea.) Though I agree, she's pretty Moe. Obnoxious or not. |
| Better than the first episode, but still boring for the most part. However, the ciffhanger ending leaves hope for something more engaging in the following episodes. |
| He lost me lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Yumekichi11 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- My second favorite of Eru is the maid part in the spoiler Regarding your spoiler with the 2 menus... [and I'm not sure if any one else has said this yet] but If you notice, one of them is red, the other blue. Oreki wanted to choose the blue menu, but was forced to pick the red one by Chitanda. If you haven't guessed already, this is a reference to the Matrix where they have 2 pills, the blue one, which makes everything go back to normal, and you get to live your normal life, and the red one, which makes you delve further into the mystery [further down the rabbit-hole] |
| im really enjoying this show so far. i feel like these mysteries are the type that you would find in PCP from bakuman and it makes me giggle |
   |
| The mystery and cliffhanger were the best parts. |
 |
| This episode was a lot more intriguing than the first one, though the mystery itself was still fairly shallow. Cant blame them though, it is only the second episode. =p Anyways... lets talk about whats important. CHITANDA'S HAIR! OMG. What a beauty. |
 |
| Not a bad episode, pas of it is still quite slow so I'm moving to a speed of 1.10%! The ending was quite an interesting cliff-hanger, let's see what's next! The ED was also quite nice you could even call it slightly fan service :p |
 |
| That was pretty funny, though I'm sure by confessing she means she wants to confess why she joined the classics club and why she is so hell bent on finding the anthologies which probably ties in to why she wants his help. |
 |
| Interesting introduction of Ibaraki here.. And man Oreki and Chitanda looks good in casual clothes! I love their scene in the cafe! I think Chitanda is going to tell Oreki her secret in the next episode (assuming she has one)? |
 |
| Dat ending Dat ED Oreki is really growing on me. |
 |
| eru is cute indeed but im not even sure I like her... but then again still time to progress and such and this episode gripped me more than the first one did for sure, maybe this is just a slow starter? |
| houtarou is like smarter than he seems :P |
