Sighed at some comments, guess some people can't appreciate Hyouka just because it is not the type of anime that has "jumping" story type.


I did as well, but then i looked at ratings they gave their anime and understood where they are coming from.

Sekitani's Jun story was sad, and I really loved the mystery. I seriously love Oreki's ability to put clues together and solve everything, and I love the way he is, so I hope he doesn't change too much in the future.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Truly an amazing episode. It is about time people start to appreciate it! Loved all the episodes so far, but this has been the best!

5/5 and bumped my rating to a 9/10

This isn't gonna be another senseless moe blob male bait is it? There's actually a progressive plot with something going on right? KyoAni makes some of my favorite animes but all of them were adaptations of another work.

With Tomoya and Sunohara's VA there and the main heroine looking so much like Mio, it kinda feels like Clannad meets K-ON. Still too early to say if this is gonna be any good though but since it is an adaptation, I'm looking forward to it.

Really interesting episode. I didn't expect a lot of what was revealed in that episode. Got a feeling the mystery isn't completely over yet either. I wonder what will happen from here.

I feel the mystery was solved to easily. The episode did a good job and making the presentation entertaining, but really? The librarian was there and knows everything? That doesn't even make it a mystery anymore. Just a question to ask her.

I kind of hope this becomes a good slice of life series, because the mysteries are not doing it for me.

So far from what the sister said first being in Pristina:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristina
whom after checking it out where it is, no surprise anymore....thieves are common over there. Oh God! The terrible atrocities the minute they know you are foreign. Well yeah you do get mugged there a lot. Even beaten sometimes by corrupted cops there.

As it enchains the sister plans to go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarajevo
now that is Bosnia. Safer but still not stable too much depending where you are. Both of these used to be USSR.>
Its not USSR Its Yugoslavia
I though they were both part of the USSR, not territorial but relational.

That's kind of how I feel. The mysteries are really being solved way too easily. They aren't even that gripping of mysteries either so far. One was even made up by Oreki. They give all this ominous foreshadowing, and then it's just some kid got expelled who's now well-off. If someone had died in the fire or something it would have made more sense I think.

When are we ever going to get a mystery anime that has serious mysteries?

Well, it certainly could have been better. And I think the reason Chitanda criend was kinda stupid. I mean, how the hell could a little kid even understand that anyway? I was kinda disappointed by the conclusion. But I liked the episode anyway. And the ice cream word play was brilliant.

Thought the episode was quite good. From the kanji meanings(ices and candy), I didn't really think of ice cream(since ice cream is written in katakana) and was wondering what's the real meaning to Hyouka. So when they said it was ice cream, I was a bit surprised and then when Oreki said it was a pun, it all fell into place.

Overall, I'm liking this series. Sure, it's not the best and it does remind me of Perfect Crime Club from Bakuman. Guess that's why I'm kinda enjoying it.

Can somebody explain to me about the whole ice cream thing? I really don't get it. Why did such a pun make Chitanda cry?


A pun like this would make anyone cry... heh, other than that, nice episode, expecting more from this story.

But with every new episode, I get more and more interested in watching the daring escapades of Oreki's adventurous sister rather than the main story back home :)

Maybe she didn't fully understand, being dead while alive is not that easy a concept for a kid, but being abandoned by those around her is.

If not that, her uncle's strong feelings of regret and despair could also have made her cry while leaving quite an impression in her. Kids are usually highly empathic after all.

I thought that Hyouka only meant for Ice, not ice cream. The more we learn eh?


Hyou = Ice
Ka = dessert

Essentially what ice cream was used to be called, unlike the more used Engrish word aisu kurimu.

I said it before (in this thread and in others even back in episode 4) and Ill say it again.

THE ARCH IS NOT OVER!!!!!


Yup. There will be recurring elements from this one coming back in later arcs.

Alright, up to the next book!


That's better. After 4 episodes this show looked uninteresting and boring, this conclusion was quite satisfying. Sekitani Jun was strong after being expelled and everything, how life is unfair and you have to take it head on.

Great episode.

This was supposed to be the climax of the story and it was extremely boring. I'm going to find this show very difficult to finish considering its 21 episodes.

I may drop it now.

I am currently really bored. Meh , storywise its okay, but the main character's lack of energy really makes me wanna sleep. Not that its a bad thing but this show is seriously totally dependent of Mystery, which kinda bores me . I can only hope the Mystery gets deeper.

The real conclusion to Hyouka was a real shocker to me, i did not expect the uncle to be swindled like that, I really do pity him. But I wonder what the future episodes will revolve around??

I feel like this shows needs some witty dialogue. Mundane mysteries and such is fine, but when everything feels like flat exposition it's not very interesting. Even the basic deductions of the show "Sherlock" work because of the fast dialogue and charismatic performances, which this is really lacking.

For Eru, this episode is closed. She is now ready to go the funeral of her uncle, after she reminded his word. The real leader of the movement in 45years ago, and the reason why Jun has disappeared are not the matter she can ask Houtaro to solve. I am not sure if she is interested in these issues.

Next "small mystery in the usual days" will be carried to Houtaro. Of couse by Eru :-)

No OP/ED - dammit why, I bloody love them!

I found the first half really slow and quite boring actually. It wasn't until they met the librarian that the excitement stated.

That was... really good. I just love how Oreki was trying to figure out whether he wanted a rose-colored life or what. Just, you know, the inner feels and all. =w=

Also, I don't know why, but when I saw 'I scream' on that paper... idk indescribable feelings, man.

I know it's a little late in the game, but I was on the edge of whether not to watch this series or not. Being a big fan of Detective Conan, and recently coming out of Un-Go, I really couldn't take the idea of what I assumed was "light mysteries" seriously. This episode completely changed my mind, and I am glad I pick this series up.

Slow episode... Not sure why you are looking for a fast paced series in a slice of life... that would be like asking for a ecchi/harem with an actual plot... lol just felt like saying that but yeah seriously don't expect a slice of life to be fast paced seeing as the main point of a slice of life is to literally be a SLICE OF LIFE... not sure about you but my life isn't filled with plot twists at every turn, maybe once every two months I get a gnarly midterm that puts a small dent in my overall life but that is just it, nothing more major than that... Anyways nice episode, glad that the uncle arch was only 5 episodes, was fearing that the mystery would take well over half the series to solve, although new mysteries still might involve her uncle, like where the hell is he? Is he dead or alive? and stuff like that.

I guessed it was "I scream"!! XD

Anyway, looking at Houtarou being so anxious (he shook his leg, and then slammed his hand on his knee) was really a first.. First time I see him feel so..agitated.

Really cool to see Houtarou introspecting his way of life as well.. Makes me wonder whether his sister really made him join Kotenbu with that intention in mind.

And as others have mentioned, the question of who was the real organiser/mastermind still lingers.. And also the whereabouts of Sekitani Jun.

Especially love the music in this episode. And as usual, loving the animation that goes wtih the theories/stories and the angles of the scenes.

if that is the end of the arc im pretty disappointed really, there was a lot of questions unanswered for me, some have already been mentioned.... i mean the last 2 episodes were so heavy anyway, you would have thought they could get everything resoled but oh well, I still like the anime its strangely growing on me with every episode i just hope the next arc is better than this one and it picks up from here...
